From a renowned Johns Hopkins- and Stanford-educated cardiologist at Intermountain Medical Center—a hospital system that President Obama has praised as an "island of excellence"—comes the story of his time living in Longevity Village in China, and the seven lessons he learned there that lead to a happy, healthy, long lifeAt forty-four, acclaimed cardiologist John Day was overweight and suffered from insomnia, degenerative joint disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. On six medications and suffering constant aches, he needed to make a change. While lecturing in China, he’d heard about a remote mountainous region known as Longevity Village, a wellness Shangri-La free of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, depression, and insomnia, and where living past one hundred—in good health—is not uncommon.In the hope of understanding this incredible phenomenon, Day, a Mandarin speaker, decided to spend some time living in Longevity Village. He learned everything he could about this place and its people, and met its centenarians. His research revealed seven principles that work in tandem to create health, happiness, and longevity—rules he applied to his own life. Six months later, he’d lost thirty pounds, dropped one hundred points off his cholesterol and twenty-five points off his blood pressure, and was even cured of his acid reflux and insomnia. In 2014 he began a series of four-month support groups comprised of patients who worked together to apply the lessons of Longevity Village to their lives. Ninety-two percent of the participants were able to adhere to their plans and stay on pace to reach their health goals.Now Dr. Day shares his story and proven program to help you feel sharper, more motivated, productive, and pain-free. The Longevity Plan is not only a fascinating travelogue but also a practical, accessible, and groundbreaking guide to a better life.

At age 50 I was a certified, card-carrying carboholic. A typical lunch consisted of a bag of chips, a pack of snack crackers and either a bag of cookies or a candy bar…eaten at my desk while I watched the fitness freaks work up a sweat in the noonday sun. Needless to say, I was a type 2 diabetic by the time I reached age 55. When the doctor gave me the bad news, he said the goal of treatment was to “…make the diabetes train go slower and slower and slower…until it crashed at the end.” I didn’t like the sound of that crash.Dr. Day’s “The Longevity Plan” will tell you how to fix the tracks and add rails to the end of the line. The book tells the delightful story of the lifestyle of the centenarians of the little, remote village of Bapan, China. In the book, he walks us through seven lessons from Bapan, and gives suggestions on how to apply them to a modern western society. Each lesson is backed up with findings from scientific studies. The book is not just another diet and exercise book, although there are chapters on both topics. The book is much broader in scope, covering lifestyle issues like living in community, finding rhythm in your life, adapting to your environment and finding purpose in changing circumstances.My wife thinks I’m pretty radical about diet and exercise these days, but I tell her that Dr. Day’s zeal exceeds mine. I don’t think I’ll ever master salads for breakfast. I think I’ll keep eating the parts of the chicken found at my local grocery. (I’m not up to an offal mess yet.) And I don’t think I could handle 14 hours a day in motion.However, while some sections of the book can be intimidating, it also provides encouragement and challenge. Don’t like the Bapan diet? Find one you like and stick to it. (My own favorite is the Glycemic Index Limbo Diet. How low can you go!) Can’t be in motion 14 hours? Start by parking your car further from the office and walk up the stairs rather than take the elevator.The book left me wishing for more. Since I’d like to see the good doctor remain gainfully employed, here a couple of suggestions for the sequels.I’d love to see more details on the scientific studies associated with each of the lessons. Things like the number of subjects in the study, the length of the study, and any caveats associated with interpreting the results. What kind of epigenetic changes are associated with the lesson? What impact on cellular health or telomere length?Another sequel would be to compare the lifestyle of Bapan to other centenarian hotbeds like Acciaroli, Italy and Ikaria, Greece. Is it just lifestyle, or are there elements in the microenvironment (magnesium or manganese or calcium in the water or soil? Is it their nightly brew of Goat’s Rue tea? Or is it perhaps an undiscovered “Methuselah Gene”, the result of natural selection in these villages?) Contrasted with the centenarians of Okinawa and Loma Linda, CA, it would make for a fascinating read.At 70, I’m only at the beginning of my centenarian journey. However, the book encouraged me enough to think that I might just live long enough to attend the wedding of my youngest grandchild’s oldest child. I’d have to live to at least 105 to be there!
