  • What varieties should you plant in a garden to promote graceful aging? These superfoods are cherished by some of the longest-living people in the world for their incredible health-promoting qualities. Shannie McCabe shares some of her favorite heirloom varieties for a "longevity garden!"
    They include Okinawan white bitter melon, beans such as succotash bean, greens such as Katsuona mustard, tatsoi, Castelfranco radicchio, and Nero di Toscana kale; squash such as Kabocha or Lady Godiva; dark tomatoes such as the Black Krim, and whole grains.

    So happy to see this video! Dan Buettner has done years of research on the blue-zones & has written several books on it. I’ve actually read so many books & articles about it over the last few years. All five blue zones have certain things in common, one of which is that they all eat primarily plant-based!

    As for the Japanese bitter melon, if you remove the seeds and only eat the flesh, it'll taste less bitter and more enjoyable.
    I don't eat the seeds inside it at all. pick it when it's young thats when it taste the best. The old it gets, the bitter it taste.

    Dr.Gundry who resigned from being the head heart surgeon in Lomalinda Ca, and left his practice to help people on the other end of the spectrum and see if he can educate people to live healthier lifestyles and avoid a trip to see a heart surgeon. He has written a couple of books and has a lot of information online explaining Lectins and the affects they may have on our health. Based on his research, All of the foods you mentioned would need certain perperations to break down the lectins before consuming. Some people are in this camp of thinkers, many are not and poo poo Dr. Gundrys work and research.

    In Trinidad and Tobago when it's green we cut it into slices,put salt on it and leave it in the sun to dry (I believe this removes most of the very bitter taste) then sauté it with other vegetables and herbs. When it's ripe however you can have its pulp.

    Bitter Melon is actually traditionally eaten sauted with SPAM in a dish called Goya Champur. This is basically a stir fry. If you want to get rid of some of the bitter flavor, do a quick pickle. Slice them up and mix with salt or salt water. After half an hour wash off the salt and they are ready to cook.

    it is not going to work because local soils will not have same minerals and local veggies (including those that give health) have evolved in parallel with humans ... evolution of long living humans goes hand in hand with culture ... a culture which does not derive benefits from older individuals and afford younger relatives of long living individuals to be more fertile will naturally start reducing their longevity by evolution process ... just growing veggies from these places is not enough ... also you have to eat them in same culinary tradition way that you are borrowing from ... you just mentioned smoothie ... may be you just need to de-smoothiefy your diet ... eat the way they cook and prefer sodium over sucrose ... sodium or sugar choice is yours ... start with breakfast ... try de-sugarizing breakfast for a week and then you will know where problem is ... in india (as gujarati) my breakfast was almost invariably savoury than sugary ... sometimes i ate unflavored home made yoghurt with indian millet flat bread or overnight stale khichdi with oil ... try that way for even for a day ... your poison is sugar mine is sodium ... try making home made things like yoghurt or millet bread or stale rice / khichdi etc ... stop using blender for a day
