Real foods for longevity may not be what you think — they’re not “superfoods,” but simple, affordable staples.
In this clip, Dan Buettner and Professor Tim Spector explore how the world’s Blue Zones use everyday ingredients like beans, grains, and vegetables to build diets that fuel long lives. Instead of trendy health foods, it’s the humble, peasant-style meals — made delicious and shared in community — that create the foundation for health and longevity.
Dan Buettner is a National Geographic fellow, bestselling author, and creator of the Netflix series Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones. Tim Spector is a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London and one of the world’s top 100 most cited scientists.
