What’s the Best Breakfast For Longevity?
We all want to age gracefully and live active lifestyles in our golden years. As simple as it may sound, making that a reality can start with what you eat for breakfast, and there’s one meal in particular that longevity experts recommend: scrambled tofu with turmeric and veggies. Bonus points if you add fruit and sourdough toast on the side!
If this seems a little less sweet than your go-to breakfast, that’s a good thing, according to Dan Buettner, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Blue Zones Kitchen.
Buettner’s research focuses on the Blue Zones, or parts of the world where more people than usual live much longer than average, including Sardinia in Italy, Okinawa in Japan and Loma Linda in California. “One thing that we learn from all of the Blue Zones is that people start their day with a savory breakfast, so there’s no cereal or pancakes or waffles,” Buettner says.
