In a nutshell, the way to longevity is to eat little, less often and exercise. No huge shock here, other than going against the canonical “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” advice usually dispensed by nutritionists.
The somewhat surprising part of this article was the advice to NOT eat 6 times per day, but to stretch out the time between meals to 5 hours or so. This is the way the French eat – sitting down, several courses (including dessert!), small portions, with friends, usually in a bistro or cafe and no snacking in between meals!
