Let\u2019s begin with the conclusion. How do you live forever? Eat small and have a glass of red wine with your meal. Sound familiar? This is exactly what we teach in the Mediterranean path program.<\/p>\n

Longevity is enhanced by many things, but most notably, most consistently by simple calorie restriction \u2013 nothing draconian, just don\u2019t overconsume your way through life. The same is true for that wine \u2013 more is not better, just have a glass or so with your meal.<\/p>\n
