Eating for Longevity: The Science
Longevity diets are not about short-term weight loss; they are about optimizing cellular health, reducing inflammation, and promoting autophagy (the body's cleaning process). Research from the "Blue Zones"—regions where people live the longest—reveals common dietary patterns that prioritize nutrient density over calorie density.
Core Principles
- Caloric Restriction (CR): Mild caloric restriction (eating until you are 80% full, or "Hara Hachi Bu" in Okinawa) has been consistently linked to extended lifespan in various organisms. This tool calculates your needs with a slight deficit to mimic this effect without starvation.
- Plant-Forward: Whether Mediterranean or Okinawan, longevity diets are 95% plant-based. Beans, greens, nuts, and whole grains are the cornerstones. Meat is often a garnish or a celebration food, not the main course.
- Healthy Fats: High consumption of monounsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados) and Omega-3s (fatty fish, walnuts) protects the heart and brain.
Choosing Your Protocol
Mediterranean: The gold standard. Rich in olive oil, fish, vegetables, and wine in moderation. Excellent for heart health.
Okinawan: High in sweet potatoes (purple), soy, and vegetables. Very low in fat, high in fiber.
Plant-Based: Eliminates animal products to reduce IGF-1 (a growth hormone linked to aging) and inflammation.
