Leonardo's 'Prescription for Life' comes from the book 'Da Vinci's Kitchen: A Secret History of Italian Cuisine. Leonardo died when he was 67, which in 15th century Italy probably equates to 90 now, so he must have been eating very healthy. He says:
Do not eat when you have no appetite, and dine lightly.
Stay standing a while when you get up from a meal.
Make sure you do not sleep at midday.
These instructions seem pretty straightforward but it's an interesting comparison to see how each of his prescriptions translates to modern life.
