The search for the secret to longevity revealed
 

The ubiquitous search for the secret to longevity has frustrated man ever since Eve seduce Adam and mankind lost paradise. Think about that for a moment two words "Trust me" killed the golden goose or cooked our goose.

However, good news. Dan Buettner, author of Blue Zone Solution: Eating and Living Like The World's Healthiest People" explains that the book of Genesis had the answer all along when it directed ëat the fruits of seed bearing plants (beans) Longevity is attributed to the people of Sardinia because of fava beans, to Costa Rica black beans, lentils in Ikaria and soy beans in Okinawa.

Dollar for dollar most beans deliver more protein than beef. And bean's high fiber content serves as a gut compost of sorts enabling healthy bacteria to thrive

Ever since I was a kid it intrigued me that cowboys ate a lot of beef and beans on the trail . So now we know why? And so I followed suit. Fava beans were served a variety of ways in my family The favorite being fava beans with greens. Beans and franks another simple solution

So your search is over....that is until the next authority comes along with a newer and hence better discovery


Personal Best Regards:

Your command of the English language always amazes me, never more than your opening sentence above - well done Rubicon! (and it all comes down to beans)

Does that cheese on the burger count, or is that really even cheese?

Ahhhh,
Bean, beans
The musical fruit
The more you eat
The better it suit.

Ha ha, that's not how I heard it.:MOJE_whot:

I might add...

Jesus was not a vegetarian. The Bible records Jesus eating fish (Luke 24:42-43) and lamb (Luke 22:8-15). Jesus miraculously fed the crowds fish and bread, a strange thing for Him to do if He was a vegetarian (Matthew 14:17-21). In a vision to the apostle Peter, Jesus declared all foods to be clean, including animals (Acts 10:10-15). After the flood in Noah's time, God gave humanity permission to eat meat (Genesis 9:2-3). God has never rescinded this permission.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Wow! With all the stuff about vegan, vegetarian and meat diets lately, this is a real eye opener. This should bring on some interesting reading within the next few days.

Personally, I'm salivating just thinking about a grilled cheese sandwich on a croissant with some black forest ham. It's nothing elaborate but oh-so-good.

Oh, thanks. I'm going to have to go have six or eight of those now.:laugh:

Cheese: the secret to a longer life and faster metabolism?
 

Annnnnddddddd........you forgot the sliced tomato! (that makes it ok for vaygans)

You had me until you mentioned beans and franks. There's noting healthy about American baked beans with their high sugar content.And pairing them with nitrate laced meat by products does not make for a life extending meal.
I do love my hot dogs and beans however. But I'm with you on beans. They are a great food.

Cheese? I don't know. Sounds plausible but I think the jury's still out and it may be limited to certain types of cheese.

One thing that I have to point out is that American cheese and products like Cheese Whiz are not cheese at all. some of them are labeled correctly as
"processed cheese products". Not sure exactly what that means but they are not what's being discussed in this article. I don't know how some of these companies have been allowed to label American "cheese" as cheese.

Anyroad, I like my mozzarella, muenster as well as most of the other varieties.

Nathans. Has to be Nathans, or Hebrew National. AND I just learned THAT since moving here.

However my baked beans ARE sweet and generally disappear.

One can Bushes Vegetarian Beans.
1/2 sweet onion minced fine.
Nice squirt of yellow mustard.
Tablespoon (I guess) of Worcestershire sauce.
Teaspoon of vinegar.
Two nasty sounding squirts of catsup.
A generous bunch of brown sugar. Let me guess..A third of a cup?

Cook low and slow for a couple hours...

Serve with potato salad.
One boiled egg for every potato.
Hellmanns mayonnaise.
Lots of SWEET onion.

You can add other things, but that is how I like it.

AND have some Angus beef burgers. On Potato Buns. Martins.

WITH CHEESE. WHITE CHEDDAR.

Ooh, what time is dinner?
