Yes, these are the steps. I'll expand on one as well: > try to reduce inflammation Avoid the obvious things (alcohol, drugs) but also your diet has a huge effect on systemic inflammation. It's one theory as to why caloric restriction works. Simply eating less, means less inflammation. But WHAT you eat also matters. As it turns out, SUGAR is highly inflammatory. To a lesser extent, complex carbohydrates are too. So if you're really interested in longevity consider not just eating less, but eating less sugar (and by extension, carbohydrates). If you ask me that sucks. Part of living life, is enjoying good food. And as it happens, a lot of good food is full of fat and sugar. I moderate and I don't eat a lot of it, but to think I would need to basically cut all of it out just to live another frail 10 years doesn't seem worth it to me.
