THE LONGEVITY PARADOX How to Die Young at a Ripe Old Age

Focused on how to support our body's microorganisms, this audiobook could have been a slog but isn't because of the author's vocal energy and facility with describing technical issues in everyday language. His voice is full and rich, and he draws listeners into his message with his tone of respect, along with lively phrasing and believable enthusiasm. The food we eat and our lifestyle choices have a big impact on the amazing array of microorganisms--"gut bugs"--that live in our intestinal tract. He supports his recommendations with lots of technical information, but it never weighs down the listening because the writing is accessible and the narration is charming. With its captivating mixture of familiar and contrarian advice, this audiobook is a potentially life-changing listening experience. T.W. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2019]
