This book focuses on increasing your longevity and in particular health span. The authors are on a quest to reduce the probability of age related diseases, such as dementia and saw their loved ones die before their time. The selling point of this book is that the authors endeavour to live by their recommendations, which are collated from extensive scientific research. The book focuses primarily on food and drink, but also goes into sleep, sociability and exercise the cornerstones of the longevity movement. It has a lot of useful information and all of it is scientifically backed up, however it is a in depth book which most people would struggle to read cover to cover and may be better used as a reference text if you are unsure about a certain food or activity. The writing is very accessible though and on each topic they have a short summary, which I found was very useful.
