5 foods you should always have in your fridge, according to a longevity expert

In countries with very high life expectancy, such as Japan, many factors affect their well-being, such as physical activity or stress management, but among the most important remains the way of eating.

You might think that a Blue Zone-approved grocery list (so called long-lived places) is full of exotic, hard-to-find foods, but Dan Buettner, a longevity expert and book author, says there is some very simple, healthy and nutritious options that you can find in any store.

He even says that some of them you can keep in the freezer, and consume them whenever you want.

There are 5 basic foods that should not be missing in your home:

1. Fruits

Dan recommends freezing the fruits for a longer duration of them. He then suggests you add honey and yogurt.

"In addition to fiber, fruits contain phytonutrients, which play a key role in gut and immune health."

2. Vegetables

Even (frozen) vegetables are on the list.

One of the easiest ways to cook them is to bake them in the oven with olive oil, garlic and spices.

What to include in the list: Spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, asparagus, etc.

3. Bread

Buettner suggests always having wholemeal bread at home (or plain).

He suggests you make a toast with avocado or other combinations.

4. Dried fruits

Edhe frutat e thata mund të ruhen në ngrirje për përdorim të mëvonshëm, pasi në këtë mënyrë ju parandaloni që vajrat që përmbajnë të bëhen të dobëta.

Ekspertët thonë se duhet të hani dy grusht arra çdo ditë, pasi kjo ndihmon në uljen e rrezikut të atakut të zemrës, kancerit dhe çështjeve të tjera shëndetësore.

5. Drithërat e plota

Me drithëra ju mund të gatuani vakte, mes-vakte të vogla gjatë ditës dhe të eksperimentoni me receta të ndryshme. Një “klasike” mbtet tërëshëra e ngrohtë me çokollatë dhe fruta lart.
