It is quite common to want to live a long stretch of healthy and happy years, but have you ever wondered how this might be achieved? Well, Dan Buettner, a longevity expert, has revealed the great secret to living for many years with incredible health: what you eat when you wake up.
That statement, although striking, makes one thing clear: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And this is known because, according to the expert, the regions of the world where breakfasts are the most complete and healthy are also the places where people live longer. So if your usual breakfast includes sugary cereals, eggs, or bacon, you could be shaving years off your life due to excess sugar and saturated fats, so you know, switch it up. But then another big question arises: what should you eat to reach 100 years?
The breakfast you should have
>En lugar de optar por los desayunos típicos en los que solemos apoyarnos, que suelen contener mucha grasa o azúcar, las personas que viven más de 100 años prefieren opciones naturales, simples y ricas en fibra. Dependiendo del lugar del mundo, sus mañanas comienzan de formas muy distintas, pero siempre de forma saludable, ya sea con frijoles con arroz, tostadas con aguacate o incluso una buena sopa Minestrone. El secreto principal de este cambio es que, al empezar el día con un desayuno de origen vegetal, la fibra ayuda a mantener estable la glucosa en sangre, reduce el colesterol y mejora la digestión, además de dejarte completamente saciado para que no tengas hambre ni caigas en la tentación de picar entre comidas.
