A life with success and wealth is a desirable one. But a long life of suffering is definitely a miserable one.

While we are still young, we usually think of life as easy and with happy moments. That's why many people, particularly the young, tend to spend their lives living recklessly. For instance, many spend a lot of time smoking, drinking, not getting enough quality sleep and pushing themselves beyond their limits.

Then they wonder why they start to lose their precious youthful looks sooner than they thought they would.

The author refers to a diet called The Stone Age diet. The Stone Age covers both the Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age) and the Neolithic Era (New Stone Age). Lithic is the word for stone.

During the Paleolithic there were no grains consumed at all. None. The diet consisted of meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, vegetables, roots, fruit, berries, mushrooms, etc. There is no reason to believe meat consumption was low.

The main reason we are aging faster is grain consumption, especially wheat.

Do a search on paleo diet and you will find a more complete definition.
