What a phenomenal resource, Dr. Redondo! and thank you for this generous, clear-eyed synthesis of science and daily practice. As a psychologist, I often help people understand that behavior change isn’t solely about motivation but also new habits related to meaning. Your work beautifully bridges the data with practical strategies that invite sustainable, life-enhancing change. I especially appreciate your emphasis on pattern over perfection and the reminder that our hearts respond not just to food, but to consistency, care and joy. I'm ooking forward to reading Delicious Longevity!
Thank you so much for your kind and insightful response, Dr Rice. I'm truly honored that this post and Delicious Longevity resonated with you, especially your recognition of the deeper connection between science, daily practice, and the emotional rhythms that shape our habits. I look forward to hearing your thoughts as you read!
Dear Sarah, I really enjoyed the comprehensive insights. Coupled with your amazing righting, it was very easy to follow.
I think you highlighted some very important risk factors such as salt and alcohol consumptions. Interventions in these areas can be implemented at an individual level and can yield stellar results.
Thank you for your thoughtful message Debarpan, I truly appreciate it. I'm glad the writing felt clear and easy to follow and you found the resources helpful. These are indeed powerful, often underestimated levers for improving health, and as you noted, changes at the individual level can have a real impact.
Modern table salt is poisonous. However celtic salt or grey salt is what gives us our modern word salary, Large parts of the Roman army were actually paid in salt. Grey salt contains 82 of the 94 minerals and trace elements found in sea water, these minerals are in the exact balance of what is found in a healthy hunan. Sodium is needed in the body to get other minerals into your cells, it's called the sodium symporter system. If you cut sodium out of your diet you will suffer from broad range mineral deficiencies in your cells. Magnesium is number 1 mineral needed for heart health, it is used in hospitals to stop a hear attack. You should find it in leafy green veg but our farmers have depleted our soils. Always read the ingredients on your suppliments. Stay away from magnesium oxide, it's cheap as chips to produce but unless to your body. Magnesiun stereate is used by manufactures as a flow agent and not of benefit to you. Good quality suppliments do not contain fillers, binders or anything other than the ingredients you need. Also back in the days when we mainly used good quality saturated animal fats, before the days of corn oil and sunflower oil, heart disease was virtually nonexistent. Unsaturated seed and veg oils go rancid quickly, manufacturers know this so they remove all taste and smells to hide it from you.
