It sounds like a great travel novel: a middle-aged doctor, stressed and afflicted by multiple medical concerns, journeys to a remote village in China and learns that ancient Chinese practices may be the key to a long life in our modern world. But in fact, it’s the true story of Dr. John Day, a once stressed-out, overweight cardiologist who visited Bapan, China and has now written a book chronicling his travels and revealing the lessons he learned from the many Chinese centenarians he encountered. Practically disease-free and living an active, outdoor life, the residents of what is known as “Longevity Village” have many lessons and much practical wisdom to share. Find out more about Dr. Day’s travels Here (Wall Street Journal paywall) and get a sneak peak of his book, The Longevity Plan, coming out on July 4th, by Clicking Here.
