Summary

What's the key to longevity? According to Valter Longo and his bestselling book, The Longevity Diet, it's a combination of fitness and a mostly plant-based diet. That in itself isn't groundbreaking by any means, but what is unique about Longo's approach is the regular fasting element. In today's episode, Matt and Doug walk through the tenets of Longo's philosophy, and Matt shares his recent experience completing a 5-day Prolon fast.

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Naveen Athlete Radio.

0:18.0

Matt, we told everyone this morning on the plant-based morning show that we had started

summer around the late night. I'm going to take the plane for that.

outside break before doing another one of these episodes. So I went outside,

1:00.8

started gardening and then before I knew it, it was 10 minutes and I was late.

1:05.2

I was doing some weeding and I got to say, getting your hands dirty is like the perfect way

for me to have a little breather, you know, and get a little nature time.

like an hour-long job. If I'm going to get my hands dirty and wash them and all that,

1:24.3

that just seems like, that's just this whole activity. That's not a, it's not a little break.

1:28.0

That's not the same as me picking up the phone and flipping through that.

1:31.6

But I do like the gardening as a longevity activity. That's, that's featured prominently in the
