There are many aspects of our eating habits that could be vastly improved. In fact, the Standard American Diet, which is full of processed foods, extra sugar, and saturated fats, is a big reason why people have so many health problems. We're lucky that there are other places in the world to get ideas from.

For example, the Blue Zones are five places around the world where there are the most centenarians. We can learn a lot from what the people who live the longest eat every day.

Before we talk about the foods, let's talk about the five Blue Zones. These locations include Sardinia in Italy, Okinawa in Japan, Ikaria in Greece, Nicoya in Costa Rica, and Loma Linda in California. Despite the fact that each zone eats different foods based on its environment and way of life, they all share many similarities in their eating habits.

️ Summary:
Blueberries

Blueberries are a great food to eat as a snack. Instead of eating bad foods when you're hungry between meals, you can eat some blueberries. They can also be used to make sweet treats and desserts.

Anthocyanins are also in blueberries, and they help lower the chance of a number of diseases. Blueberries can help you keep your weight in check. The fruit also helps protect nerve cells.
These berries are full of good things for your body, but they don't have many calories. Blueberries have antioxidants that can protect your cells from oxidative stress, which can damage D N A. They also make it less likely that a person will get cancer.

Fish

Adventists in Loma Linda often eat fish, even those who eat mostly plants. According to a study that followed 96,000 Americans since 2002, the people who lived the longest were neither vegans nor meat eaters, They were "pesco-vegetarians," or pescatarians, who ate mostly plants but up to once a day had a small amount of fish. In other Blue Zones, fish was a regular part of daily meals and was eaten about two to three times a week on average.

Leafy greens

I know you don't want to hear this, but you should start eating more healthy greens. It's not easy, since so many of us have avoided things like spinach since we were kids. Our brains are almost wired to stay away from leafy greens. Well, you'll have to forget all of that.

One way to live a long life is to eat a lot of leafy greens. They have a lot of vitamins and minerals. They are full of fiber and lower your risk of having a heart attack or high blood pressure.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is widely utilized in Mediterranean nations like Greece, Italy, and Spain. It's a key part of the "Mediterranean diet" that people talk about. Monounsaturated fatty acids, which are found in olive oil, are good for your heart.

Studies have shown that even half a tablespoon of olive oil is good for you. The results of that study showed that the people who took part were 20 percent less likely to get coronary heart disease.

Purple Sweet Potatoes

The purple sweet potato is full of good things for you. The ingredient in the potato that gives it its color is called anthocyanin. This pigment is also a powerful antioxidant that can help boost your immune system and prevent inflammation.

A good source of fiber is also the purple sweet potato. So, purple potatoes improve the health of your gut, which makes it easier to go to the bathroom. You can keep from getting sick with things like constipation and diarrhea.

Nuts

When was the last time you ate a bowl of nuts? Nuts are full of healthy fats. They also have omega-3 fatty acids, which are very important. These help keep your L D L cholesterol, which is also called "bad cholesterol," low.

Nuts also have a lot of good things for you, especially fiber. Your cholesterol levels can be kept in check with fiber. Also, it helps keep your blood sugar level steady.

Antioxidants, which are found in nuts, fight free radicals, making you less likely to suffer reactive damage. They can also help reduce inflammation.
