Eat to Live Longer

Recipes that one doc says can help you live longer by slowing the negative effects of aging.

From NutritionFacts.org founder Dr. Michael Greger, the author of the New York Times bestsellers How Not to Age and How Not to Die, comes a new cookbook filled with simple recipes that he says will help you feel younger and, perhaps, even live longer.

Grounded in the latest nutrition science, The How Not to Age Cookbook, featuring recipes by former chef and vegan cookbook author Robin Robertson, is full of delicious plant-based meals, snacks, beverages, soups

and salads. Diet, insists Gregor, can lower the risk of age-related killers like heart disease, cancer and dementia, as well as other common ailments like arthritis, osteoporosis and more.

Through his research and prolific evaluation of nutrition-based scientific studies, Greger revealed that eating the right foods can indeed slow the negative effects of aging. It’s one thing to know what to eat, but it’s another to know how to make those foods taste delicious — and that’s where The How Not to Age Cookbook comes in. The beautifully illustrated book features colorful recipes that are healthy, nutritious and easy to prepare. As an added bonus, Greger donates all of the proceeds he receives from his books to charity.

For breakfast: Bulgur with Peaches and Goji Berries

For lunch: Tuscan-Inspired Farro Soup with Escarole

For a snack: Mocha Chia Pudding

For dinner: Rotini with Broccoli and Creamy Cauliflower Sauce
