Lessons from Luigi. How to Live to 102.

Luigi Cornaro overcame his own illness and lived to the ripe old age 102. Apparently here’s a man who discovered Calorie Restriction in the 14th century as a lifestyle choice for better health.

Luigi from Wikipedia:

Alvise (Luigi) Cornaro (1464-1566) was a Venetian nobleman who wrote treatises on dieting, including Discorsi della Vita Sobria (Discourses on the Sober Life). Finding himself near death at the age of forty, Cornaro modified his eating habits on the advice of his doctors and began to adhere on a calorie restriction diet. Twelve ounces of solid food and fourteen ounces of wine was the daily allowance he allowed for himself initially. He later reduced his daily food intake to no more solid meat than an egg.
