A few tips from the five blue zones:
• Use whole ingredients: Sticking with a collection of non-processed, ingredients including vegetables, fruits, and whole grains may add years to your life.
• Add cruciferous veggies: Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can protect the heart, stave off cancer, and prevent oxidative stress.
• Beans are the main story: A versatile source of protein that’s healthier than meat or eggs.
• Your gut loves fiber: The healthy bacteria in your gut feeds off healthy fiber.
Turn your kitchen into a Blue Zone and improve your health, extend your life, and fill your world with happiness.
