My takeaways from reading and reviewing the research of David A. Sinclair, Ph.D. found in his book “Lifespan” and in other publications and podcast.
Do’s
- Daily intermittent fasting (Skip breakfast & lunch)
- Start by skipping breakfast for two weeks and adjust from there.
- Limit protein especially from red meat
- Eat a variety of vegetables
- Aim towards a mix of a Mediterranean and Okinawa diet.
- Reduce stress
- Get enough sleep
- Avoid unnecessary exposure to X-rays
- Lose weight if needed
- Move, get your blood flowing. (Aim to burn 1,000 – 3,000+ calories per week)
- Aim for a BMI between 23-25
Don’ts
