About this listen
Thousands of books are written on diets, but not many, if any, on how the longest lived communities in the world live and what they actually eat.
This audiobook is a study of the lifestyles and diets of the four longest lived communities in the world. All of these locations have a higher proportion of centenarians and super-centenarians per 100,000 of population as well as many persons who live to their 130s-140s and even older.
The longevity communities in this audiobook are:
- Okinawa, Japan
- The Republic of Abkhazia next to Southern Russia
- Vilcabamba, Ecuador
- Hunza people of Northern Pakistan
In section one, you will see the information on our study and comparisons of these communities. In section two, we provide many different recipes from these communities of the type that reflect what these communities eat on a regular basis.
Come join us as we learn more about how we should live and eat to optimize long-term health through the best lifestyles and diets!

High in calories and cholesterol, animal fats and proteins too often leave you hungry and lead to overeating and weight gain. They are often the root causes of a host of avoidable health problems - from indigestion, ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while simultaneously fighting illness.

Story
When an infection leads to bacteria or viruses entering a human body, the immune system is, at once, activated, immediately dispatching large amounts of white blood cells to the infected area to fight off the infection and protect the human body against them. Due to the excess number of white blood cells fighting off infection, that particular part of the human body might become reddened, swollen or hot, and sometimes, emanate a feeling of pain. This physical condition is commonly known as inflammation.

Every time we think of inflammation, we generally visualize swollen parts of the body such as joints, arthritic limbs, stiff muscles, etc. We have come to associate these with inflammation and something that affects old people. However, inflammation is more than just joint pains, gout, or arthritis. In fact, inflammation can and does affect our entire body regardless of age. It can affect us from the day we are born and until the day we die.
