Dr. Morgan Levine, author of "True Age," outlines three dietary factors for longevity: quantity, quality, and timing. Caloric restriction (a 20% reduction) has shown lifespan benefits in animals, possibly by preventing overeating. A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods while limiting animal products and refined sugars, is also beneficial. Fasting, or time-restricted eating, may mimic caloric restriction benefits via 'hormesis,' boosting resilience to aging.

Optimal diet is individual, influenced by genetics and age, and should be monitored via biological age and well-being. Dr. Levine, a former Yale professor now at Altos Labs, researches aging systems. For more, watch "The science of super longevity" or read the transcript on Big Think.

Patagonia Films’ *Daughter of the Sea* follows Jaeyoun Kim, who returns to her South Korean island home to join the haenyeo, Jeju Island's famed "women of the sea." After struggling with mental health in Seoul, Jaeyoun finds healing by following in her mother and grandmother's footsteps. These free divers, some in their 80s, have gathered seafood for centuries, and Jaeyoun's journey into their tradition ultimately saves her.

Professor Paco Calvo and author Natalie Lawrence present "Planta Sapiens: The New Science of Plant Intelligence." This book offers an astonishing window into plant intelligence, revealing cutting-edge science. Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities to communicate, manipulate, and move, with new evidence even suggesting sentience.

Paco Calvo is a Professor of Philosophy of Science specializing in plant neurobiology. Natalie Lawrence, an author and illustrator, explores our relationship with the natural world through a scientific lens. Get the book here: Planta Sapiens. Moderated by Rachael Kline. #talksatgoogle #nature
