The bestselling author of Diet for a New America shares the scientifically proven secrets of the world’s healthiest and longest-lived people and shows how understanding their unique lifestyles can influence and improve our own longevity.
“Healthy at 100 is a masterpiece.”—Dean Ornish, M.D.
“This is a remarkably open and heartfelt book full of wisdom and love. John Robbins has created a new vision of aging for American society”—John Mackey, CEO, Whole Foods
In this revolutionary book, bestselling author John Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and fulfilling life. He explores the example of four very different cultures that have the distinction of producing some of the world’s healthiest, oldest people: the Abkhasians in the Caucasus south of Russia, the Vilcabambans in the South American Andes, the Hunzans in Central Asia, and the people from the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa. Bringing the traditions of these ancient and vibrantly healthy cultures together with breakthroughs in medical science, Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in the same direction: It is not diet and exercise alone that helps people to live well past one hundred. The quality of personal relationships is enormously significant for our longevity.
In Healthy at 100, Robbins isolates the characteristics that will enable us to live long and—more important—joyous lives. With an emphasis on simple, wholesome, yet satisfying fare, a manageable daily exercise routine, and the cultivation of strong, loving relationships, Robbins gives us the tools for making our later years a period of wisdom, vitality, and happiness.
