Main points seemed to be:
1. Exercise
2. Eat wholefoods and a varied diet. Organic preferably (and the Mediterranean diet)
3. Avoid saturated fats
4. Try and avoid stress
5. Try mindfulness
6. Pack in smoking (and probably drinking)
7. Keep your connections with people (though he's not sure why)
There was more to it than that, but that was the main thrust of it all.
It wasn't very Americanised I didn't think with only a couple of chapters discussing American specific things and they didn't really mess up the message.
Exercise he recommended seemed very personalise and I was very surprised that he advised martial arts (which he used to do) and I'm not sure that's what the older people out there would think of that.
I thought some of the dietary information was a little out of date and I felt that a lot of it was lacking older evidence. Some of the things that he advised (e.g. turmeric is only useful against inflammation in huge doses) were not correct or had limited information to support them.
It was okay and has made me get back into exercise and switch to cholesterol lowering fats, but very little else. Keeping active seems to be the main thing that he advises over all else.
Felt like I was an awful lot older by the end
