Nutrition

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”
Hippocrates

Nutrition is the key to a healthy lifestyle and to a state of balance, in which your body fights oxidative stress and eliminates toxins autonomously, thus reducing the inflammation and oxidation of the cells.
Healthy food provides energy to your body, helps it regenerate and also has a positive impact on your mood.
The Long Life Formula® method encompasses a health-promoting diet, which carefully analyses single foods as well as their active ingredients to design dishes that are functional to the objectives to be achieved and the conditions to be treated.

The Long Life Formula® diet has the following characteristics:

• High concentration of antioxidants
• High-quality ingredients (unrefined flours, whole grains, meat from certified farms, extra virgin olive oil, etc.)
• Zero-food-miles produce, preferably from small farms
• Organic products
• Fresh and seasonal fruit and vegetables
• Significant health benefits

We favour specific cooking methods such as low-temperature long-time cooking (or sous vide), which offers the following benefits:

• the content of primary nutrients (macromolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids) and secondary nutrients (such as mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants) remains unaltered; the latter are considerably degraded and reduced with traditional cooking methods;
• it uses spices instead of salt to enhance the flavour of the ingredients.
