The Food We EatHas a Profound Impacton Our Health and Longevity
We all know that eating healthy is important for our overall health and wellbeing. However, with the busy lives we lead, it's not always easy to make the right choices when it comes to food. Sometimes, we may find ourselves snacking on unhealthy foods without even realizing it.

There are a few simple things we can do to avoid unhealthy foods and make better choices for our bodies. By being more mindful of what we eat, we can make a big difference in our health.
One way to avoid unhealthy foods is to be more aware of what we're eating. We may not realize it, but many of the foods we eat on a daily basis are actually quite unhealthy. For example, processed foods and sugary snacks are often loaded with unhealthy fats, chemicals, and empty calories.
By taking the time to read labels and ingredient lists, we can make sure we're not eating anything that's bad for us. We can also look for healthier alternatives to our favorite unhealthy foods.
Make sure you're getting enough nutrients. When we're not getting enough of the right nutrients, our bodies can crave unhealthy foods. For example, if we're not getting enough protein, we may crave sugary snacks or processed foods.
We should focus on eating unprocessed foods as they are packed with the nutrients our bodies need to function properly.
By being more mindful of what we eat, we can make better choices for our health. By avoiding unhealthy foods, we can improve our overall health and wellbeing.By making smart choices, we can significantly improve our chances of living a long and wonderful life. There are certainly some eats that stand out as being particularly beneficial for longevity. 
Let's Take a Look at Some of the Benefits That They Offer
One of the most important food groups for longevity is leafy green vegetables. These vegetables are packed with nutrients that are essential for good health, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Leafy greens have been shown to protect against a variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. They are also a good source of fiber, which is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system.
Another important food group for longevity is fruits. Fruits, berries, and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which are all essential for good health. They have been shown to protect against a variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. They are also a good source of fiber, which is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system.

The third important food group for longevity is whole grains. Whole grains are a good source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They have been shown to protect against a variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. They are also a good source of fiber, which is important for maintaining a healthy digestive system.

If you want to live a long and healthy life, be sure to include these foods in your diet. It is no secret that what we eat has a direct impact on our health. Eating healthy foods can help improve our energy levels, mood, and overall health. However, forming a habit of eating healthy can be difficult. Here are three tips to help form a healthy eating habit:
1. Make a plan2. Find healthy foods you enjoy3. Be consistent
One of the best ways to form a healthy eating habit is to make a plan. Planning ahead can help you make better choices when it comes to what you eat. It can also help you avoid unhealthy temptations. When making a plan, be sure to include healthy foods that you enjoy eating. This will make it more likely that you will stick to your plan.
Another important tip for forming a healthy eating habit is to find healthy foods that you enjoy. There are many healthy foods out there that taste great. Explore different recipes and find ones that you can look forward to eating. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring.
The final tip for forming a healthy eating habit is to be consistent. It is important to make healthy choices most of the time, even if you slip up occasionally. Forming a habit takes time and effort. But if you are consistent, you will eventually develop a healthy eating habit.
Eating healthy is important for our overall health. Forming a habit of eating healthy can be difficult, but it is possible. By following these tips – making a plan, finding healthy foods you enjoy, and being consistent – you can develop a healthy eating habit.
There are three primary ways that food affects our health: by providing essential nutrients, by influencing our hormones, and by impacting our gut microbiome.
One of the most important ways that food affects our health is by providing essential nutrients. These nutrients are necessary for our bodies to function properly. Without them, we would quickly become sick and die. The best way to ensure that we are getting all the nutrients we need is to eat a varied diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.
Another way that food affects our health is by influencing our hormones. The foods we eat can either promote or inhibit the production of hormones in our bodies. For example, eating too much sugar can lead to insulin resistance, which can in turn lead to type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, eating plenty of healthy fats can help to balance our hormones and reduce inflammation.
The third way that food affects our health is by impacting our gut microbiome. The microbiome is the community of microbes that live in our gut. These microbes are essential for our health, and the foods we eat can either promote or inhibit the growth of these microbes. For example, eating a diet high in processed foods and sugar can lead to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, while eating a diet rich in fiber and fermented foods can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.
The food we eat has a profound impact on our health. By making smart food choices, we can significantly improve our chances of living a long and healthy life.

Needless to say, it’s easy to explain why there are so many long-lived people among those who live high up in the mountains: they are granted with ecologically clean surroundings, not like most citizens on the planet. They breathe high-quality air, full of useful elements with minimal pollution; they drink crystal-clear water; they eat mostly organic food products—and that explains a lot. 

What can we say about those individuals whose age reaches over 90 years, or even 100 years, yet they reside in a city, or in other ordinary regions?

Is it something genetic?

 

Only partially it is, while at the same time the other part of their secret lies in what kind of lifestyle they live.


How Likely Are You to Live to Your 100?

A person’s habits are important basics of their living.

Therefore, as this guide is about healthy food, here you can see a list of products popular among a variety of those individuals who succeed to live nearly a whole century.


  

FOOD PREFERENCES OF  SOME LONG-LIVERS IN THE WORLD

 

 · Germinated Wheatand other kinds of germinated crops 

Think seriously of adding one of the most useful products in the world to your plan—sprouts of such seeds as wheat, buckwheat, mung beans, soya beans and some others.

You can add a couple of tablespoons of them to most salads, soups ( when adding to hot first courses, do not boil the sprouts in any case, as they will lose most of their healing qualities—just adding one or two spoons into a prepared hot soup is the best way), or to some second courses too. 

Yes, it takes some work to germinate the seeds, but your efforts will be rewarded with improved health and the quality of your skin, hair, nails, etc.

Not just any seeds are good for germination, only “live” and organic ones, and those of particular types of plants. You can easily find them for sale on the Internet, and in some large drug stores. The simplest way to make sprouts is to rinse the seeds with water, put a thin layer of them on the bottom of a wide box (can be a plastic container suitable for keeping food products, but glass is better), pour in some clean water (just enough to cover the seeds), cover the wet seeds with one to five layers of clean gauze (it should get wet) and leave the box in a warm, dark place for one to three days until you see them sprout.

It’s best to rinse the germinating seeds with clean water each day, to prevent them from decaying, otherwise the sprouts will be so smelly that it won’t be a pleasure to eat them. 

Despite some dietitians’ recommendations, it’s not best to start your morning off by having several spoons of pure sprouts, as it can make you feel quite sick if your stomach is not used to this kind of product. Start by adding a small amount to meals, so that habituation will go a lot more smoothly.
· Sea Fish(such as salmon) 

No fried fish or seafood allowed, just steamed, boiled, baked or grilled.

Many types of sea fish, like salmon, contain a lot of Omega3 in their livers, which as everyone knows, helps to keep you healthy and youthful in appearance. 

If you get freshwater fish, make sure it was not caught in some polluted region, as you know in some parts of the modern world, water quality might be poor, and it affects the creatures living there. 

· Salmon with Garlic Sauce

What you will need:

 

1 salmon fillet, skinned

2 tbsp of low-fat plain Greek yogurt

¼ tsp of cayenne pepper

1 tbsp of fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped

2-3 fresh lemon slices

Freshly ground black pepper

Sea salt

 

For the sauce:

1/3 cup of low-fat plain Greek yogurt

½ medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced

One large pinch ground cumin

1 small garlic clove, minced

Freshly ground black pepper

Sea salt 

Wash the salmon fillet under cold running water and dab with paper towels to dry.

Place it in a microwave-safe dish and rub a dash of seasoning all over it.

Whisk the cayenne pepper and finely chopped parsley into the yogurt until well combined.

Spread the mixture evenly on the surface of the fish and arrange the lemon slices on top.

Wrap the surface of the plate with cling film and cook in the microwave on HIGH power level for three to four minutes or until the fish turns flaky.

While the fish cooks, stir a pinch each of ground cumin, sea salt and ground black pepper into a small bowl and beat them with a fork.

Whisk this into the yogurt until well combined and stir in the chopped mint.

Fold in the cucumber chunks and serve the sauce alongside the microwave-cooked salmon.



· Salmon and Avocado Salad 

What you will need: 

1 ripe avocado

1 large ripe tomato

50 g (1.75 oz.) salted salmon (low salt, no chemical additives)

3 large fresh salad leaves

A handful of shredded green onion and parsley (mixed)

0.25 teaspoon mustard sauce

Milled red pepper

Optional:

Salt

Olive oil 

Wash and cut salad leaves, put them on the bottom of a plate. Mix olive oil with mustard sauce.

Peel and cut avocado into pieces; chop a tomato; slice or chop salmon; mix these ingredients with shredded greens and olive-mustard sauce, and put the mixture on top of salad leaves.

Dust the dish with milled red pepper. 

Usually, this recipe doesn’t require adding any salt, as using salted fish makes the salad salty enough. Adding a little bit more salt is up to you.
· Other Types of Seafood(squid, shrimp, mussels, scallops, octopus, oysters, etc.) 

A great source of elastin, that is so necessary for our skin, veins and smaller vessels, cartilage, etc., can be found in scallops, squid, octopus, and in laminaria. 

Sea products are some of the best for healthy food choices.

· Scallops and Spinach

What you will need: 

8 scallops

100 g (3.5 oz.) of spinach

1 clove of garlic

Organic butter

Milled black pepper 

For the dressing:

Extra virgin olive oil or organic sour cream 

Peel and shred the garlic clove. Wash the scallops; dust them with a pinch of pepper.

Stir-fry the scallops in a hot wok or fry-pan smeared with butter, for about five minutes or until they are cooked.

Wash the spinach and rinse it carefully with boiling water; dry it a little bit on a clean paper towel.

Mix the processed seafood, spinach and shredded garlic; serve on a plate; pour some soya sauce over it to taste


· Shrimps and Avocado 

What you will need: 

1 ripe avocado

5-7 ripe small cherry tomatoes

3 large fresh salad leaves

200 g  (7 oz.) of  shrimp (steamed, boiled or grilled)

Salt

Olive oil  

Optional:  Red or black milled pepper

Wash and cut salad leaves, put them on the bottom of a plate.

Mix olive oil with salt.

Peel off and cut avocado into big pieces; wash and cut cherry tomatoes into halves; add cooked shrimp and salted olive oil; mix these ingredients well and place onto salad leaves.

Optional: Dust the dish with milled red or black pepper.

Notice: Feel free to use cucumbers instead of tomatoes, and any kind of your favorite greens; make the salad taste even more delicious by also adding a bit of peeled, raw cedar nuts. . .

Or try something piquant for a change, and just mix slices of avocado with shrimp and strawberries; use lemon juice as a dressing this time.

· Easy Shrimp and Noodle Soup

What you will need: 

1.5 L (1.5 quarts) of water

200 g (7 oz.) of shrimp

100-150 g (3.5-5.25 oz.) of fresh trout (or any other fish) fillet

30 g (1 oz.) of rice noodles

0.5 lemon

A bunch of parsley leaves

1-2 garlic cloves

A pinch of dry milled ginger

Milled black pepper

Salt 

Boil water in a saucepan on high heat; lower to medium, add noodles and stir. Cut fish fillet in medium-sized pieces, and add to the saucepan. Boil on medium heat for six to seven minutes, then add peeled shrimp. Add salt, ginger and pepper. Squeeze the juice from one quarter of a lemon into the soup. Stir well and boil for another five minutes. Add shredded garlic and greens. 

Slice the remaining one quarter lemon, and serve each portion of the dish with a couple of slices.


· Cold Seafood Soup (jelly)

What you will need: 

1-1.5 L (1-1.5  quarts) of fish bouillon or water

500-600 g (1.25 lb.) of fresh pike-perch fillet

8-10 large shrimp tails

1 large onion

1 carrot

40 g (1.5 oz.) of gelatin

1 parsley root

1 garlic clove

A bunch of fresh parsley and dill leaves

2 bay leaves

Milled white or black pepper

5-8 allspice pepper balls

0.5 lemon

Salt  

Optional:

2 tablespoons of tinned soft green peas

1-2 tablespoons of capers 

Put gelatin into a bowl, and pour some unheated bouillon or boiled-then-cooled water, to cover it. Let it soak for about half an hour until gelatin dissolves. 

Meanwhile, wash fish fillet, cut it into pieces.

Pour the remaining cold fish bouillon or water into a saucepan, add fish and turn on medium heat. Wash, peel and cut onion, parsley root and a carrot; add them to the saucepan, together with salt, spices and bay leaves, and boil until carrot is soft. (Here add tinned green peas too, if you like.) Add shrimp tails, and boil the soup for another three minutes.

Turn off fire; add dissolved gelatin water to the soup; stir.

Let it cool a little bit, then pour into some nice, small bowls or cups, add some chopped greens into each cup, and let the soup cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate, and in several hours it will become a jelly.

Serve cold, with a couple of slices of a lemon in each cup or bowl. 

NOTE: See more recipes for light soups, such as green borscht, mashed vegetable soup, red and classic okroshka, and yellow dried pea soup, in our other books “BEST RECIPES FROM EASTERN EUROPE: Dainty Dishes, Delicious Drinks“ and “FIVE MINUTES COOKING: Tasty and Healthy Meals.” 


· Seaweed 

Many sea products, especially laminaria seaweed and mussels, can supply us with useful iodine.
Seaweed is often overlooked as a healthy food choice, but it is actually packed with nutrients that are beneficial for the body. Consuming seaweed is good for you because it is a great source of vitamins and minerals, it is low in calories, and it has a variety of health benefits.
One of the reasons why consuming seaweed is good for you is because it is a great source of vitamins and minerals. Seaweed is a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals like iron, magnesium, and calcium. These vitamins and minerals are essential for the body to function properly.
Another reason why consuming seaweed is good for you is because it is low in calories. A serving of seaweed is only about 30 calories, making it a great food choice for those watching their weight. Seaweed is also high in fiber, which helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied after eating.
The final reason why consuming seaweed is good for you is because it has a variety of health benefits. Seaweed has been shown to help lower cholesterol, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation. Seaweed is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
Seaweed is an often overlooked but nutrient-rich food that should be a part of a healthy diet. 

· Fermented Vegetables and Fruit

· Fermented Cucumbers

What you will need:

 

A 3 L (3 quarts) sterile glass jar with a lid

1.3 L (44 fl. oz.) of boiled and cooled (or filtered) clean water

2 kg (4.5 lb.) of cucumbers (small and medium size, of bright green color and with many pimples)

Dill leaves, stems and flowers (Also optional: fresh black currant leaves and/or fresh horseradish leaves or roots)

1 head of garlic

3 tablespoons of salt

Wash fresh cucumbers and greens well. Chop greens into large pieces.

Separate garlic cloves from the head, and apply pressure to each until they crack.

Pour prepared water into a large bowl, add salt, and stir.

Place half of chopped greens and half of cracked garlic cloves at the bottom of the glass jar.

Next, place all of the whole cucumbers in the jar.

Cover the cucumbers with the remaining greens and garlic.

Pour in the salted water you’ve prepared; cover the jar with a lid or a piece of gauze, and leave it in a warm place for about twenty four hours before refrigerating. 

These low-salt crispy cucumbers are great to enjoy with any potato or meat dishes. 

Note: If you don’t eat all of these within two to three days, your low-salt pickles will turn into normal salty pickled cucumbers—they are also tasty and good ingredients for various salads.
· Avocado 

· Light Vegetables and Avocado Salad 

What you will need: 

1 ripe avocado

2-3 tomatoes

1 sweet pepper

2 tablespoons sprouts

1 small onion

1 clove of garlic

1 tablespoon of sesame seeds

Soya sauce  

Optional:

0.5 teaspoon of apple vinegar  

Wash all the vegetables; peel an avocado, remove the stone and slice the vegetable; remove seeds from pepper, and shred it; cut tomatoes; peel and shred onion and garlic. Mix all the vegetables, sesame seeds and sprouts, add some soya sauce instead of salt. Add vinegar too, if you wish.
Avocados are a nutrient-rich fruit that offer many health benefits. Some of the reasons why consuming avocado is good for you include that it can help improve your cardiovascular health and boost your immune system.
One of the ways in which consuming avocado is good for you is that it can help improve your cardiovascular health. Avocados are a good source of healthy fats, which can help to lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, the potassium in avocados can help to regulate your blood pressure.
Another reason to consume avocado is that it can help to lower your risk of certain types of cancer. The antioxidants in avocados can help to protect your cells from damage, which can lead to cancer. Additionally, the healthy fats in avocados can help to reduce inflammation, which is another factor that can contribute to cancer.
A third benefit of consuming avocado is that it can help to boost your immune system. The vitamins and minerals in avocados can help to keep your immune system strong. Additionally, the healthy fats in avocados can help to reduce inflammation, which can lead to a stronger immune system.

· Broccoli


· Brown Rice and Broccoli

What you will need: 

2 cups of instant whole-grained brown rice

2 cups of coleslaw mix

1 cup of broccoli florets

½ cup of corn kernels

1 large carrot, peeled and sliced into very thin rounds

¼ cup of chopped peanuts

2 eggs

1 tbsp of vegetable oil

1 tbsp of chili-garlic sauce

2 tbsp of coconut aminos 

Cook the instant brown rice in the microwave for about ninety seconds.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok over a high flame and add the cooked rice.

Stir fry for a minute to reheat; pour in the beaten eggs while stirring the mixture continuously until the eggs are scrambled.

Cook briskly for another half a minute and stir in the coleslaw mix, corn, broccoli florets and carrot slices.

Splash in the coconut aminos followed by a dash of chili-garlic sauce and continue to stir fry for a couple of minutes or until the veggies are heated through; the eggs should have turned firm by now.

Divide the fried brown rice among the serving bowls and sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top.

Enjoy the delicious Oriental flavors for dinner and stay healthy!


· Broccoli Casserole

What you will need: 

2 large broccoli florets

1 cup of cheddar cheese

1 cup of rice (you will probably want to use one-minute rice to make the cooking process quicker)

Salt and pepper 

Firstly, you will need to cook the rice. Whilst the rice is cooking, use your microwave or oven (preheated) to heat up the broccoli together with the cheddar for two minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Once the rice is ready, mash the broccoli and cheddar and mix it all up with the rice.
· Green Tea

  Green tea is one of the best drinks for losing weight, by the way.

Forget about any sugar in your cup. If someone is not used to it, he will get used to it soon. Even honey in your tea should be taken very rarely, and only as an exception if you truly want to drop some pounds over there. 

Feel free to add some lemon, or ginger, or different kinds of herbs to your tea. If you like it, you’ll only benefit. 

If your stomach feels like you’re really starving, but it’s not time to have your main meal yet, make a very BIG cup of green tea and only take small swallows from time to time over one or two hours. This is one of the most effective things you can do, as it is very good for both your health and your figure. 

Analysis of the above list of products serves to explain why such a diet affects people’s health for the better, to let them live longer and better-quality lives.

HOW THIS GUIDE WAS CREATED: 

Some time ago, a good friend of the author asked for advice on how they could lose weight and stay as slim as she had succeeded to be her whole life. In reply, she wrote them several long letters with suggestions and explanations, revealing the method she had worked out for herself.  

When considering that she’s often been asked by different people she’s met over the years, about what enables her to look 25, when she is really over 40, she had the thought of publishing these materials, to share her personal experience with anyone who wants to know how they can be slim, attractive and happy, no matter what age they are!
