Four Best and Worst Longevity Foods

We distilled more than 150 dietary surveys of the world’s longest-lived people to discover the secrets of a longevity diet. These four best and four worst foods simplify the Blue Zones food guidelines: Favor beans, greens, root vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. People in four of the five blue zones consume meat, but they do so sparingly, using it as a celebratory food, a small side, or a way to flavor dishes.

FOUR ALWAYS:

100% Whole Grains: Farro, quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, bulgur, cornmeal

Farro, quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, bulgur, cornmeal Nuts & Seeds: A handful a day A handful a day Beans, Legumes, Pulses: A cup of cooked beans / pulses per day A cup of cooked beans / pulses per day Fruits and Vegetables: 5-10 servings per day

FOUR TO AVOID:

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: Empty calories

For Beans: We include all pulses and legumes in this category, including chickpeas, lentils, broad beans, and green beans. For Nuts: You can include seeds in this category, as they are also common in blue zones regions. For Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: This includes the fancy coffee drinks so popular all over America.

What is the 90 rule for minimalism?

Have you used that item in the last 90 days? If you haven't, will you use it in the next 90? If not, then it's okay to let go.

By ·

Rules can be arbitrary, restrictive, boring—but they are often helpful when we hope to make a change. Whenever we attempt to simplify our lives, we often get stuck before we get started. When faced with a hoard of possessions—some useful, others not—it is difficult to determine what adds value and what we’re holding on to just in case, which makes letting go nearly impossible without some sort of rules to move us in the right direction. Here’s one that has worked for us: Look at a possession. Pick something. Anything. Have you used that item in the last 90 days? If you haven’t, will you use it in the next 90? If not, then it’s okay to let go. Maybe your rule isn’t 90 days. Maybe it’s 120. Maybe it’s six months. Whatever your rule, be honest with yourself. If your material possessions don’t serve a purpose or bring you joy, then they are likely in the way of a more meaningful life.
