Blue zones are five areas around the world with the highest concentration of centenarians living long, healthy lives. Nine evidence-based principles, which include lifestyle and food principles, were uncovered for longevity. Though these blue zones span across the globe, their diets include four food groups you should be incorporating into your diet every day.
Nuts and Seeds
Try keeping a handful for snacking and sprinkling seeds on your salads, smoothies, or grain bowls. This gives food an extra crunch and an added nutritional boost. These healthy fats may help maintain good cholesterol levels when replacing saturated fat in the diet.
Get started with these delicious Trail Mix Bites for added nuts, seeds, and whole grains!
100% Whole Grains
Save time by batch-cooking grains to have for the week and storing them in your fridge or freezer. This will help you easily add new grains to your repertoire, perfect for a bowl of quick fried rice, hot cereal, or rice pudding.
Get started with Overnight Oats or make it your own by adding your favorite blend of spices.
Beans
Try keeping dry beans or canned beans in your pantry. These are pantry staples that can be added to any meal, made into a quick dip, spread, dessert, or added to your smoothie. You’ll get an extra boost of fiber and protein!
Get started with this Classic Hummus to spread on sandwiches, crackers or veggies! For a chocolatey sweet treat, try this Cacao Cashew Hummus.
Fruits and Vegetables
Though it might seem intimidating, keeping fruits and veggies around as a snack or adding them to your smoothie can help get you to 5 servings quickly! Make things convenient for you by keeping frozen fruits and veggies on hand to easily add to your meals, snacks, and smoothies.
