Here are the video's show notes:
While resveratrol has recently gained widespread public and scientific attention for its age-prolonging qualities, Longevinex® is a unique multi-ingredient dietary supplement that is more than just resveratrol. The ingredients in Longevinex® are designed to address five major theories of aging: the free radical/antioxidant theory, the hormonal theory (estrogen/testosterone), the mitochondrial (cell energy) theory, the cell cleansing or autophagy theory, and the metabolic, calorie restriction/Sirtuin gene activation theory. There is another theory of aging, Overmineralization, also addressed by the ingredients in Longevinex®, which may supercede and better explain other theories of aging.
The over-mineralization theory of aging explains best why we age. At a certain age, we reach an actual decline of aging, a steady state of minerals. The barrel is full. We don't need any more. But what do we do with the excess minerals of iron and calcium that cause us to rust?

Sardi mentions a Greek monastic order on the island of Mt. Athos in Greece. Their eating habits are just that--habits--but live-giving, good habits. Not bad habits; for instance, they don't eat junk food, least not what you might find at Albertson's here in California. But neither do they have all of the age-related problems, nor do they suffer from all of the age-related disorders of youth.
Remember that it is a diet plan.
And here are the foods you can eat on Feast Days. Religions are as much about caring for this life as it is about taking care of the beyond, about sending a message to your progeny on how to conduct their lives.

With studies that show they are among the healthiest people on earth, the plan is inspired by the Greek monks of Mount Athos and their Mediterranean diet. Amazingly, research has shown that within their tight-knit communities Cancer is almost unheard of, strokes and cardiac arrests are pretty much non existent and diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are extremely rare. The monks have also been proven to live, on average, several years longer than men living in mainland Greece.So what do they eat?
meals are based around a typical Greek peasant diet (don’t panic, it’s better than it sounds), with a high proportion of vegetables, beans, fruits, nuts, whole grains and olive oil.

| Olives are permitted on Fasting Days |
The plan focuses on a pattern of three varying diet days – three days for ‘fasting’, three days for moderate eating and one ‘feast’ day, where you can eat and drink whatever you like.
Throughout the process, you are encouraged to have a high intake of seasonal vegetables, fish and chicken while also allowing yourself – as the monks do – a moderate intake of red wine.
Meals are broken up into "Days," Fasting Days, Moderation Days, and Feast Days. CalledThe Mount Athos Diet, the diet is about changing the way you eat and
your relationship with food. Here is a sampling of their diet. Remember, this is a diet that serves two objectives: longevity and disease free. I will list just the foods permitted on Fast Days. For the other days, you can easily check out this list from Healthista.

the Mount Athos monks do. You should stick to what is essentially a low-fat,
