Book Description
With the right lifestyle, experts say, chances are that you may live up to a decade longer. What's the prescription for success? National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity found in the Blue Zones: places in the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives. And in this dynamic book he discloses the recipe, blending this unique lifestyle formula with the latest scientific findings to inspire easy, lasting change that may add years to your life. Buettner's colossal research effort has taken him from Costa Rica to Italy to Japan and beyond. In the societies he visits, it's no coincidence that the way people interact with each other, shed stress, nourish their bodies, and view their world yields more good years of life. You'll meet a 94-year-old farmer and self-confessed "ladies man" in Costa Rica, an 102-year-old grandmother in Okinawa, a 102-year-old Sardinian who hikes at least six miles a day, and others. By observing their lifestyles, Buettner's teams have identified critical everyday choices that correspond with the cutting edge of longevity research and distilled them into a few simple but powerful habits that anyone can embrace

Book Description
Bestselling author Dan Buettner reveals how to transform your health using smart nutrition, lifestyle, and fitness habits gleaned from longevity research on the diets, eating habits, and lifestyle practices of the communities he's identified as "Blue Zones"—those places with the world's longest-lived, and thus healthiest, people, including locations such as Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California. With the audacious belief that the lifestyles of the world's Blue Zones could be adapted and replicated in towns across North America, Buettner launched the largest preventive health care project in the United States, The Blue Zones City Makeovers, which has impacted the health of millions of Americans since 2009. In The Blue Zones Solution, readers can be inspired by the specific stories of the people, foods, and routines of our healthy elders; understand the role community, family, and naturally healthy habits can play in improving our diet and health; and learn the exact foods—including the 50 superfoods of longevity and dozens of recipes adapted for Western tastes and markets—that offer delicious ways to eat your way to optimum health. Throughout the book are lifestyle recommendations, checklists, and stories to help you create your own personal Blue Zones solution. Readers will learn and apply the 80/20 rule, the plant slant diet, social aspects of eating that lead to weight loss and great health naturally, cultivating your "tribe" of friends and family, and your greater purpose as part of your daily routine. Filled with moving personal stories, delicious recipes, checklists, and useful tips that will transform any home into a miniature blue zone, The Blue Zones Solution is the ultimate blueprint for a healthy, happy life.

Book Description
In this one-of-a-kind book, Dr. Rovenia M. Brock—known as Dr. Ro™ to fans of Black Entertainment Television’s Heart & Soul—reveals practical, satisfying ways for African American women to eat healthy, get fit, and overcome weight problems and the health risks that accompany them. From the “Big Ten” myths about miracle weight-loss diets to how eating the right foods can help you live longer and why soul food (if prepared properly) really can be good for you, Dr. Ro shows how many serious illnesses can be largely prevented—and even reversed. And you don’t need Oprah’s salary to do it. Using her own inspiring story and those of many other women as well, Dr. Ro discusses the health, fitness, and even cultural issues that are unique to black women, and outlines a diet and nutrition program to fit every lifestyle.

Book Description
Today we are living longer than ever before, and a few of us can expect to live to 100 or more. But many people feel that they will inevitably suffer the diseases of old age in their final years. Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars trying to find a cure for the "diseases of aging"—they may have found ways to stem some of the symptoms, but they have yet to find a panacea. Yet there are places in the world where, all along, people have commonly lived to 100 or more without suffering so much as a headache. How do they do it? The answer is simple: through sound dietary habits and balanced, healthy lifestyles. The 50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People looks at the nutrition and lifestyle mores of the world's five most remarkable longevity hotspots—Okinawa, Japan; Bama, China; Campodimele, Italy; Symi, Greece; and Hunza, Pakistan—and explains how we too can incorporate the wisdom of these people into our everyday lives. It offers each of the secrets in detail, provides delicious, authentic recipes, and outlines a simple-to-master plan for putting it all together and living your best, and longest, life.

Book Description
Secrets to Longevity: An Amazing Kind of Beauty was inspired by one of my clients and friends who lived a long life with gracefulness, peace, and love. Together we found the recipe to longevity. Her name was Louise Currie Good, my private client for over fifteen years. She lived to be more than a hundred years young with a sharp mind, a love for creativity, and a sense of humor. Even through the ups and downs of life, she lived a full, active, happy life surrounded by family and friends till her departure from this world. I wanted to use her story and others as well to inspire people to learn the real secrets of living a long, healthy, purposeful life. In my fifty plus years of working with thousands of people on their physical, mental, and spiritual health, many of them seniors even into their nineties, I've pondered what separates the ones I met in bad health and ready to give up on life versus the ones who were inspired to take time to improve their good health through their attitude, exercise, and eating, making change for a healthier lifestyle and excited to wake up each day to live life to the fullest. No matter your limitation, situation, or age, you can take control of your life and how your later years will be. In this book, you will learn simple ways to keep you healthy and happy; recipes for a healthy mind, body, and spirit; how to turn the negative into positive; the benefits of movement, stretching and breath; basic tips on nutrition. Louise Currie Good's prescription for life has been captured by her life & wellness teacher Jean Pierre Marques and shared with all of us in Secrets to Longevity: An Amazing Kind of Beauty. Jean Pierre was clearly instrumental in prolonging her inspiring life and their wisdom is more powerful than any pill at a pharmacy. This book is a beautiful lesson on how to truly live your authentic life in a balanced way and a gift to all of us. Michael Rocha, MD Cardiologist Director, New Bedford Wellness Initiative This book is a conversation between a master teacher and his student, Louise Currie Good, who was able to live a long and vibrant life for more than a hundred years. Jean Pierre Marques shares the keys to a long, healthy, and fulfilling life through his deep understanding and practice of the Eastern and Western philosophies of wellness and longevity. His wisdom and insights can help all of us to live our golden years with optimal health and happiness.
