Published in the early 1990s, I read this as a fledgling clinician fascinated by the concept of living long and well. Balancing austerity with lenience, avoidance with curiosity, and necessity with indulgence.
Longevity is currently a favorite buzzword among influencers, faux-gurus, and genuine experts. Like most things, what’s old is new again. Names and technologies change, concepts remain the same.
Our health decisions need not be oppressive… but nurture the very goal of living both long and well which enables more enjoyment of the things we love. Health is freedom.
