I'm Jordan Rich. I am halfway through

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:08.800
a rather large book called Outlive The
Science and Art of Longevity. It's by

3
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:13.320
Peter Atia, MD with Bill Gifford. The author became interested in longevity and

4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.079
how diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. They all play

5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.640
a role in an unhealthy system,
and the age old axiom that prevention is

6
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.199
worth a pound of cure is more
prescient when it comes to good health in

7
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.000
later years. The best science out
there says that what you eat matters,

8
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.679
but how you eat matters more,
how many calories you're taking in and how

9
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.240
much exercise is right for you,
exercise being the magic bullet that consistently ranks

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.640
as the most effective way to stave
off the four horsemen. What do I

11
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.840
like about his approach? It's not
a one size fits all. Everyone's physiology

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.000
is unique, and as doctor Atia
points out, quote, you must be

13
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.240
well informed, medically literate to a
reasonable degree, clear right about your goals,

14
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.679
and cognizant of the true nature of
risk. Concepts that people of any

15
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.640
age should check out. Outlive the
