    About this ebook

    Key to the Fountain of Youth
    A Practical Plan to Win the War on Aging,
    Prevent Chronic Diseases, and Live a Longer,
    Happier, Healthier, and More Productive Life

    This book is a summary of “The Fountain: A Doctor’s Prescription to Make 60 the New 30,” by Rocco Monto, MD.

    Over the last century, medicine has helped us all live longer. The problem is that our health span hasn’t kept pace. Heart disease, hypertension, strokes, renal disease, diabetes, and fractures are more common. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, and depression are rising. Doctors continue to treat the symptoms of diseases while the causes go unmanaged. People are just surviving, not thriving, at the end of their lives.

    In The Fountain, Dr. Monto questions the established doctrines of traditional medicine that have brought us to this point. He explains why we age so poorly and how the latest breakthroughs in science and medicine can change this. Debunking long-held diet and fitness myths while highlighting safe, effective therapies backed by leading-edge research, Dr. Monto provides us with a practical plan that could help us live a longer, healthier, happier, and more productive life.

    Apply what you learned from this book to win the war on aging, prevent chronic diseases, and live a longer, happier, healthier, and more productive life.

      The Hunt for the Aging Off-Button

      For decades, researchers have known about several regions around the globe where people live much longer than expected. They have circled these areas in blue marker. These blue zones now include Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), Ikaria (Greece), Nicoya (Costa Rica), and Loma Linda (United States). People in these communities live 10 years longer than people in the rest of the world.

      Sardinia (Italy)

      Sardinia is the second largest island 222 miles off the west coast of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea. Most of its 1.6 million residents live near its coastlines, with a secluded population living in the isolated central mountain region. The estimated life expectancy of this secluded population is much higher than the rest of the
