EDITORS' note
THE LONGEVITY QUESTION NOBODY ASKS
THE BODY IN THE HEAT • WHAT SUMMER ASKS OF US, AND HOW TO MOVE WITH IT
WALKING IN THE EVENING • THE MOST POWERFUL THING YOU CAN DO FOR A LONG LIFE IS ALSO THE ONE WE KEEP TRYING TO IMPROVE
SUN, SKIN, AND THE LONG LIFE. • The sun is neither poison nor medicine. The truth, as usual, is quieter. There are two stories about the sun, and they cannot both be entirely true.
THE AFTERNOON REST IS NOT A LUXURY THE BODY ASKS FOR IT • There is an hour in the early afternoon when something quietly happens inside almost every human being on earth. A heaviness comes over the limbs. Focus thins. A small, persistent invitation begins to rise from the body, asking, in effect, to lie down.
SLEEPING IN THE HEAT
THE SUMMER TABLE • WHAT CHANGES WHEN THE SEASON ARRIVES, AND WHY THE BODY HAS BEEN WAITING
THE QUIET FAT THAT HAS SPEND DECADES BEING MISUNDERSTOOD • There is probably no food more talked about and less understood than olive oil. It has been called a miracle. It has been called overrated. It has been said to extend lives and to be no better than any other fat. Every few years, a new headline declares the matter settled in one direction or the other, and every few years the headline turns out to be too simple. The truth, as so often, is more interesting than the slogan; and it begins with the fact that most people who buy olive oil are buying the wrong kind for the wrong reasons.
TOMATOES • THE MOST ORDINARY FRUIT ON THE TABLE, DOING QUIET, EXTRAORDINARY WORK.
GAZPACHO • A COLD SOUP, AN OLD IDEA, AND A WAY OF FEEDING THE BODY IN HEAT.
ICE CREAM & OTHER PLEASURES • THE SMALL DAILY JOYS THE WELLNESS INDUSTRY KEEPS TRYING TO TAKE FROM US
THE LONG LUNCH • THE SUMMER MEAL THAT HOLDS THREE GENERATIONS AT ONE TABLE, AND WHAT IT DOES FOR ALL OF THEM
GRANDPARENTS & GRANDCHILDREN • THE RELATIONSHIP THAT MAY HAVE MADE US LIVE THIS LONG IN THE FIRST PLACE
GUT-BRAIN AXIS AND THE PROBIOTIC PARADOX • WHY SHARED HUMAN AND CANINE LONGEVITY CANNOT BE SWALLOWED IN A CAPSULE
THE TYRANNY OF LOOKING YOUNGER • THE INDUSTRY THAT HAS SPENT DECADES TEACHING WOMAN TO FEAR THEIR OWN FACES
LIVING ALONE IN LATER LIFE • ONE OF THE LARGEST DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS IN HUMAN HISTORY IS HAPPENING QUIETLY, AND WE HAVE BARELY BEGUN TO TALK ABOUT IT
