The longevity plan : seven life-transforming lessons from ancient China
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-278) and index.

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 life. At 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.
