We examine how long-lived communities use a plant slant to reduce inflammation, protect the heart and brain, and extend healthspan. We share practical steps to flip the plate, cook more beans, embrace healthy fats, and try a simple color-and-beans challenge.
• defining the plant slant and why meat becomes a garnish
• world tour of blue zone staples from Okinawa, Nicoya, Ikaria, and Loma Linda
• how phytonutrients and fiber lower inflammation and stabilize metabolism
• the microbiome benefits of short-chain fatty acids
• why beans stand out for longevity and how to ease in
• healthy fats for absorption, brain health, and lipid balance
• practical swaps, batch cooking, and meal-building
• weekly challenge to eat three colors per meal and add daily beans
Eat your colors, get those beans in, and think about food as your longevity medicine
