Living Life to the Fullest

Roi Edizioni

We all know that broccoli is better for us than french fries and that exercising is healthier than watching TV. Yet, only a few of us manage to make a real change.

A comprehensive system of tools, insights, and practices designed to enhance health and achieve a higher level of personal satisfaction, well-being, and psychophysical performance.

An approach that Filippo Ongaro has long employed, merging personal change strategies inherent in strategic coaching with the latest scientific knowledge in neuroscience and behavioral psychology.

Up to a Century of Life

Ponte delle Grazie
May 2016

Unlike traditional medicine, which typically intervenes after a disease has manifested, anti-aging medicine focuses on slowing down the aging process through prevention, thus delaying the decline of the human body. The aim is not merely to extend life but to enhance the quality of life. This challenge demands substantial effort and sacrifice, involving every aspect of an individual: from strict biological factors like diet and physical activity, to the inner and spiritual dimensions.

This approach can be seen as holistic, yet it stands apart from alternative medicine or new age practices: cutting-edge scientific findings support the notion that aging does not inherently mean decline and suffering. By dedicating ourselves to self-care, we can aspire to reach a century of life, living fully and to the best of our abilities.

Among the notable contributors to this book is Dr. Ongaro, who has penned the opening chapter entitled "The Role of Food in Human Evolution: From Scarcity to Excess. Impact on Health and Future Outlooks."

Amidst the swamp of murky and jumbled information, one fact remains crystal clear: we continue to gain weight.

It's time to bring some order to the chaos. The reality is far more complex than the oversimplified narratives we've been fed.

Eat Your Way to Health

Piemme
April 2011

The latest advancements in genomics teach us that food is far more than just fuel; it plays a significantly larger role by "communicating" with our bodies, sending signals of either health or illness. Scientifically, over the past few decades, it has become unmistakably clear not only how the modern diet impacts us negatively but also how natural foods have preventive and even therapeutic effects.

It has been unveiled that the substances found in food possess the remarkable ability to interact with our genes, thereby influencing cellular responses. This fascinating field is known as nutrigenomics, a revolutionary discipline that is transforming our perception of food. It equips us with the knowledge to leverage nutrients to "repair" our biological foundation, preventing diseases from taking hold and promoting the blossoming of health.
