YOU’VE HEARD IT BEFORE:

A healthful diet rich in plant-based foods can prolong your life.  

But how much could you really extend your time?

The Adventist enclave in Loma Linda, California, is America’s only “Blue Zone”
one of five regions on Earth where people live measurably longer―about 10
years more―than average, as identified by National Geographic–funded re-search. This Blue Zone status is thanks largely to the foods Loma Linda resi-dents and Adventists choose eat―and the foods they choose not  to eat.
Loma Linda was established in 1905 by the Adventist founder and prophet
Ellen G. White. Her great-great-grandson, John Howard Weeks, still lives there.
He knows firsthand what it’s like to fall into the rut of unhealthy habits―and to  
relearn how to live and eat in a healthy way. Through the teachings of his family,
Weeks was able to conquer his temptations and embrace a healthy way of living.
He’ll show you how to do the same, no matter what your personal battle looks like.
In  The Healthiest People on Earth, Weeks shares the secrets of how anyone,
anywhere, can create a “Blue Zone” of their own and live a longer, healthier life.
A lively read full of exclusive family stories, gainful tips and tricks, happy home
remedies, and plant-based recipes, this book will be your first step on the jour-ney to a longer, healthier, more fulfilling life.
This is not a book about religion―it is about health and happiness. It is pos -sible to be healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Start by eating like the healthiest
people on Earth.
