Valter Longo's Diet for a Longer Life (VIDEO)

Eating little and healthily is more beneficial than you might imagine: It can extend our life expectancy beyond our wildest dreams.. To demonstrate this correlation between the mechanisms that control theaging and their relationship with nutrition was Valter Longo, an Italian researcher who built his success abroad and who holds the position of director of the "Longevity Institute" at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. His fame is linked to his studies which would demonstrate that our longevity depends above all on diet.

But what is the longevity diet that Valter Longo proposes? First of all, there are four meals : in addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there is also a snack to curb your appetite.

Here's a typical day:

• Breakfast with green or black tea, toasted bread slices and jam
•  Snack with fruit
• Very light lunch accompanied by drinks such as almond milk or coffee
• Snack with dried fruit
• Dinner with little pasta and lots of vegetables

The diet also includes the option of eating little meat, preferably white meat. Finally, Valter Longo has completely eliminated sweets.
