My grandfather lived for 86 years with out any disease...he hardly ever ate any tablet because he hardly ever fell ill...he was healthy till his last breathe....what i learnt from him is that he lived a life where he never took any stress for anything...he was happy...ate just abt to fullfill the stomach needs...i never saw him just gobbling anything which comes in our way...whatever may be on the dining table...any amount of food or delicacies or deserts....he would just eat the required amount he would eat everyday....and soo he lived a blissfull life..and i also try to do the same.😊😊
That's so interesting to know. I am a Muslim and in our religion, we are also instructed to eat only enough that we aren't completely full after the meal.
@@anayaa664 fruits very rarely...yaa veggies...but cooked not raw...he just ate plain simple home cooked food which includes rice and whole wheat rotis...both veg n non veg curries...but just in limits....and yes he was very particular about the time also...every day he used to eat at the same time...he slept early and woke up early...he never did any kind of dieting...or any exercise...but he was soo fit.
I think the main reason behind living a long life is a stress free life and clean environment. I'm from the Himalayan region of India and our grandparents live long too. The main reason is clean environment, peaceful happy life, light food, organic vegetables and a lot of physical activity like climbing mountains is our daily routine. You'll hardly find a obese person in Himalayan region.
One can be the most healthiest person on Earth. STILL DIES. it's by God's grace we have breath each day God has a plan and purpose beyond this Earth which is why God sent Jesus Christ to be spiritually saved healthy and beyond God's everlasting plan
Nigerian here; My grandfather lived to 114, born in 1900 and died in 2014. He ate whatever he liked but didn’t eat past 7pm. He fasted 40 days when he was in his 30s. Once in a while he would fast even as he got older. Never had dementia or any major disease. Drank a shot of whiskey for his stomach upset. Remarried at age 106! Honestly i think it’s the little things. Some people do all the right things and still die young. Lifestyle like stress level and genetics play a role too. Few of his family members died in their 100s too. My grand uncle 115, great grandma 105. They didn’t eat anything special but I heard their foods were more natural. I wish everyone a long, healthy and happy life. Thanks for sharing your recipe! ❤❤❤
My mom is 101 and in quite great health. She is still smiling, recognizes people, and still tries to be funny and laugh about silly things. She was very poor most of her life and mostly ate the seasonal and local fresh foods. Little red meat, if ever, and very heavy on legumes for protein. Fresh everything, not cooked. By that I mean fresh unprocessed veggies and fruits. I am so thankful for her example. She is and has always been wise way before any “food fads.” Also wise and visionary. She was very close to God ask her life, and her prayers and communion with Him were always long conversations. She prayed for everyone she knew, especially us, her 4 daughters. Never discount the power of a mother’s prayer because I’ve been blessed thanks to her pleading to the Father. I’m thankful for her example of gratitude throughout her life, in spite of her circumstances. She’s been a great mom.
Not in spite of her circumstances, thanks to them! If you look at her faith you will see every follower of God the most faithful and firm were the ones thrown to heavy trials! Not easy comfort
I am a grandmother and praying to God that my grandson can one day say nice things proudly about me like many of you in these comments Blessings to all.
Maybe you should ask God to give YOU wisdom and discernment, so you would understand that asking God to make other people give you undeserved praise is from the devil.
Many Caribbean soups are made with those as well. 😋 My great grandmother lived to 108 and her brother, to 107. Her daughters died at 93 and 94. And my other grandaunt (on the other side) lived to 97. My grandma is still living now at 93. God is good and His mercies are new every morning.😊 Clean air and water, adequate rest and movement and living without carrying all the stresses of this world are also vital.

I met a lithe 96yr old here in Portsmouth UK, shopping in Tesco yesterday, & she stood straighter & looked fitter than me! She was fully made up wearing jeans & a leather jacket, buying Tesco pizza & ready meals! I honestly believe attitude & our stress management has more to do with a good long life.
@@kai3e Yes of course diet matters in order to remain healthier, slimmer & more easily mobile , my point was that this lady at 96yrs old has not suddenly changed up her eating habits, she has always eaten what she wants in moderation. She was very proud to tell me she was 96yrs old & could eat what she felt like eating and still gained no weight.
@@MindfulMoments1444 Yes exactly, 💯 % correct. She had a wonderfully young & laid back attitude , she approached & was chatting with me as if we were old friends, I could see she was very confident & active , the only thing she complained about were the prices of Laundry detergent & her inability to carry the large sizes home. 😆 I was very envious of her trotting up and down the aisles obviously pain free & very attractive in her fashionable outfit , whilst I .40yrs her juniour looked like like a hobbling bag lady in my sliders & kaftan because unlike Miss 96yrs old , every step for myself is very painful , & my lack of mobility has made me gain weight despite the fact that I habitually cook well balanced meals. Health is wealth!
Yes!! Nigerian here. My paternal grandfather lived up to 114 and a couple months. He never used a walker and was still moving around like he was in his prime. I know genetics plays a part. But taking care of yourself and your health seriously is very important. Plus, almost everything we eat in Nigeria has vegetables, spices and herbs. Frankly, I only wish to live as long and as healthy as he did.
@@peachyweachy5716 Crazy enough, he literally called my father the night before and told him not to drive tomorrow (the next day). And the next morning, we got a call that he had passed away peacefully in his sleep. Till this day, it’s literally the craziest but also the most heartwarming time ever. He was the most stubborn person I ever met. But, he was also the nicest person I have ever known. I can say, I definitely inherited his stubbornness lol. I remember one time, me and him had a misunderstanding and we both were such coconut heads that we did not speak for about three months! And afterwards, he finally caved and called my father asking about me. I remember he was like “well, I guess we know where you got your character from. Anyways, when are you coming to visit? I know your school is out on holiday soon” it was so hilarious. But now, what I wouldn’t give to banter with him and us just sitting outside and judging the people walking by.
My daughter in law’s grandmother from Mexico told me that the first most important thing for good health and longevity is self discipline in all things. Going to bed early, getting up early, eating with discipline, saving money, caring about others, thanking God and walking.
Yess! My grandma died at the age of 102 and barely needed any medicine nor any glasses. Even a few days before her death, she was so energetic and physically active. All she swore by was a curry like thing filled with veggies and wild herbs...and of course a stress free life.
Soups are the best meal,Less fats, no sugar, well balanced, filling & fortified with fresh vegetables full of minerals,vitamins & proteins, depending on what you put in it. Nice in the winter months to keep you warm, healthy & hydrated.
My grandpa eats all kinds of food but a limited amount n home cooked, which is enough to fill the stomach.. He never eats outside food, processed and sugar items.. He's a vegetarian since childhood and rarely gets sick, visits hospital if needed.. He does walking regularly and keeps his mind active by playing puzzles n suduko..He cooks his own meal till now, he's 94 n still going good by god's grace 🙏
My grandmothers on both sides lived well into their 80’s, Neither went to a doctor, They ate foods like , raw cows milk and seltzer water delivered from a truck once a week in glass bottles, never had trash the slop went in a bucket for the pig farmers and the glass was returned and reused. There was NO plastics when I was growing up. Nope not like today, One of my grams had to have a slice of bread with butter everyday with her dinner. They never drank alcohol or smoked either like their husband who both succumbed in their mid 60’s
@@Irish176 I'm from India, so here eating rice is a part of everyday food habits and my grandpa cooks it in potteries, no other utensils he uses.. My grandma (his wife) is alive and healthy too, she lives in the states with one of her daughters, she's 86.. 🙏 Basically home cooked meals brings major health to the body..
We eat this in Tunisia almost every day in the winter, we add different varieties of veggies including cardona ( I am not sure what's the English name but this is the Italian / Tunisian name) and it's very popular Mediterranean food, it's not known only in Tunisia or Sicily , it's all over the Mediterranean, people eat a lot of olive oil and vegetables and homemade food! Healthy living
@@keyoree We refer to this dish as ‘pasta or macarona with veggies’ in our language. Although it is similar to soup, we don’t call it soup because we consider soup to be slightly different from this dish.
@@alysononoahu8702 here's the Google explanation below. It's definitely very different than the eggplants. It's green color and yummy 😰💗 Found in the wild along the Mediterranean, from Morocco and Portugal to Libya and Croatia, a cardoon is a thistle that tastes like a bitter version of a giant artichoke with small, prickly flower heads. But unlike an artichoke, you eat the stems, not the flower buds.
I have like 10 great uncles and they are all standing straight my great aunts too and all of them are over 80. Most of them I have never visited them in a hospital the first time one got ill and have to stay in the hospital for few nights we all got the scare of our life because it’s something new we are not use to them getting sick I can say for a fact they are healthier than the younger generation in the family.
People forget the importance of walking and working outdoors in fresh air. Eat fresh , local unprocessed food and run or walk for an hour every day. simple but so complex
Don't forget that life is a lottery. My mother's father has had one divorce and then two wives die of cancer. He's had meningitis, pneumonia and cancer. He smokes a pipe religiously. He drinks whisky by the bottle. He was the first UK resident to receive chemotherapy, so they didn't know about sperm damage, meaning his son was then born deformed and died at 6 months. He's a lonely and depressed alcoholic in a corner of Scotland. How in the unholy hell is he still not dying?
Praise God 🙏🏾🙂 A life well lived is a wonderful Blessing ❤️ I once heard two 90 year old woman on a HBO show years ago one woman said she didn't smoke wasn't promiscuous ate healthy exercised and the other one sat patiently waiting on her turn to speak and then said "I did everything she didn't do well and I'm sitting right here next to her 😮😂 I fell out‼️😂

*Correction* My husband's grandfather lived up to 119. He ate organic home grown fruit and veg, drank raw milk from his own cows, ate meat, fish and ate unrefined sugar. Was active till the end. Washed his own clothes by hand too. (I double checked with the husband and I got his grandfathers age wrong by a year. He also said his grandfather ate black strap molasses with rice, baby bananas and raw milk. One of his favourites).
My grandfather lived until 100 years. He didn't need glasses or hearing aids.. he walked by himself until his end. He didn't keep dirt in his heart or head. he ate small healthy fresh meals and walked everywhere, never drove a car.
My grandma used to make this every year the day before Thanksgiving when my family would drive up to visit & stay. Mind you, she was cooking Thanksgiving dinner the next day, and had also already made homemade Pumpkin pies. Then we moved 10mins away & never got it anymore. My grandma was pretty amazing.
To be clear they are the longest living populations because of the way the plants are grown, the environment, and the culture. You can't just toss together vegetables that are genetically modified (not that all genetic modification is bad but the rapid change we are doing recently is not tested long-term), sprayed with pesticides, grown in soil that is chemically enhanced, and population in the area is sky high. They are from places that still locally grow most of their diets and a decent part of their food is even garden grown. They have a good mix of modern medicine and older style of food sourcing. They have a moderate climate and a culture that supports self-care and moderate exercise Daily. So no eating a soup with the same name ingredients that you buy at a American supermarket is not the same thing. Not that it's not way better than McDonald's but I don't want people to have the impression they will get the same result if they eat this soup everyday
True! But don't listen to National Geographic! They only showcased plant based foods because that fits their agenda! They are bought and paid for by The Gate Foundation, Pfizer, and the Government!!!
My great grandparents ate beans, cornbread, greens and fried chicken nearly every day. Over seventy years of marriage. Died in their nineties. I think it’s more about genetics, contentment and stress management than anything 😂
Alright because my great-grandmother lived to be a hundred and nine she died the year I was born an eighth and threw down in the kitchen like everybody
Genetics has a lot to do with it as well as low stress. Despite having a fall induced brain injury, my mother still lived to the age of 99. My grandmother was 94 and my great grandmother was 99 when they passed. All of my uncles lived to nearly 90 before they passed as well. And they were average, everyday people who enjoyed life and loved soul food. Almost nobody went to fast food joints and home cooked meals (including all kinds of "bad" meats lol) were a part of everyday life. So there's more to living a long and healthy life than just plants. 😊
The stress free environment I believe is the main factor. Fresh air, no polluted smoke and just even an underground well not the purified one had been sufficient enough for people long time ago to live a very long life.
My nana is 65 with no grey hair and she’s in amazing condition she didn’t have the healthiest life style as a young adult either she had severe pneumonia and was in the hospital for a week she got out on thanksgiving and Cooked a whole feast she is super women !!
My granny ate soup everyday she lived to be 95. It was always a light soup never cream based. Her favorites where split pea and tomato veggie soup with a potato
My grandma is 80 and still works a full time job and you would never guess by looking at her that she’s 80. She almost exclusively eats soups like this - always lots of veggies, tries to be as active as possible, and her mind is sharp af. Goes to show that good food does more than just fuel us in our day to day!! ❤️
@@haroldjoseph8296 it's difficult but it can be done all about the mindset and don't forget to laugh and enjoy and remember any joys and pleasures that come your way ..forgive and let go of whats holding you back and down ..people had it lot worse than many but was still able to find joy in little therefore beat the odds of those who took for granted
🇮🇳 Indian here. From the western state of Gujarat. My grandmother died at 95 in March, 2018. I sometimes regret that I haven't lived the life and ate the food which she did. Her diet was purely vegetarian, consisting of raw milk, tomato and potato curry, drumsticks, clarified butter (ghee), boiled chickpeas, millet bread (roti) etc. She would always narrate to the teenage me that whatever we r eating rn is processed and that she pities on our fate. I love u and miss u Baa 🥺❤.
My Grandma is currently 96 is still alive and doing well. I grew up 2 blocks from my Grandparents (100% Italian) and they ate like Italians do. Meat, Cheese, Bread, a lot of Pasta & Real Parmesan...Maybe it's worth mentioning that decades ago (in the late 70s) my Grandmother had Melanoma skin Cancer and survived. They always talked about how lucky she was and was missing a chunk of her arm where they removed everything. Anyway, she is still alive & well.
My great grandmother is 99 and was really self disciplined in her prime. Would always eat green leafy vegetables. Yes she emphasized green and leafy. Only when she hit her 90s that she craved into soda, sugar and sweets. She's still up and about ❤
This looks delicious to me I will make it and enjoy it as it reminds me of how my 97 year old Grandma used to eat 😋❤️❤️❤️ Blessings to all our Elders and the families they have who treasure them 🙏🏾😄
My grandmother lived till 103 years old. She watched what she ate, had an incredible memory, was independent, energetic and one thing she never allowed stress to be part of her life. All her sisters lived up well into their 90’s, however, their sons didn’t live past their 70’s. So obviously whatever they consumed including their environment determined their life span.
My nana is 86 today! She died when she was 3 because of pneumonia but her nana breathed her back to life she’s survived that and cancer and is still kicking 😁
@@l0veLY111 not really. Death is when you cease to be alive, the state in which you do not recover anymore and simply decay. My heart stops between every beat. Doesn't mean I died.
@@xinpingdonohoe3978 go tell that to all the people who talk about how they died and came back to life you may think that but that’s something they’ve experienced and somehow managed to miraculously survive to them and their family members and in my Nana’s case even the doctors they were gone their heart had stopped beating they weren’t ‘coming back’ with my nana the doctors stopped trying to revive her and even called time of death the only reason she is here is because her nana said fuck that and took the matter into her own hands so yes she did in fact die
My Grandfather lived to be 100 he ate a ham steak and 4 eggs over medium everyday and he loved hamburgers from burger king once in a while. He never drank or smoked and was very positive about life.
Its all about genetics people. No reason not to eat all wonderful things in moderation. But as a career nurse working in oncology among other medical surgical areas, I've seen that some of the healthiest minded people still suffer from cancers. The amount of patients who have lamented to me asking "why me I ate healthy, ran marithons, never smoked...". Its sad but we are what we were made from. We are here because our ancestors were atrong but we still have an expiration date which is been proven to be cellular. I've learned you need to enjoy your life and do what you think is right for YOU. Its ignorant and not helpful to judge people for their life choices such as smoking or obesity. There may be environmental triggers that when a person is exposed gives that person cancer but not another who was exposed to the same thing. I've seen it as a nurse, so I'm sharing my hard earned knowledge and research. Part of my job has been assessment, asking questions and making family trees. Life is short enjoy it.
I really like it when people actually want to see the truth that life isn't always fair and speak about it. There are so many factors to hire long we life and we only control a few.
*GRATITUDE* IS THE KEY TO HEALTHY LONG LIFE. complaining all the time and not observing benefits of worse situations leads to miserable life Good day everyone
Tell that to my work colleague moans every day about anything and everything lol bet she will live a long life never lived with a man or had kids 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@khadija.8624 I know iv been a single parent 22 years 30 and 23 and still live with me and where happy but its not always been easy but you keep going 😁
My great grandma lived until 111. She loved to cook and eat, and was an active, hard working lady. She had a big garden every year until she broke hir hip at 109. She mostly ate vegatables, but I have never eaten minestrone soup. Thank you for sharing
My 95 years old grandmother just celebrated her birthday last week. She only eat meat since 20 years ago because our family could finally afford it. She's the healthiest, sharpest old lady I know.
@@dhruvshukla2389 sadly, she passed away last week. It was sunday morning, she tend to her garden, take a bath, then changed to her dress ready for church. Then she climb back up for her bed, crossed her arms, and pass away just like that. To be fair, she sleeps just like that too, so we thought she went for a nap before going to the church. That was one of the most peaceful end for anyone I ever know.
@@kueapel911 Oh I m so sorry to hear that. I think we should be glad that she didn't suffer from any disease while her soul was leaving her body. Rip grandma 🙏.
My mom passed almost five years ago because of a double reproductive cancer diagnosis at 57. She didn’t drink or smoke, she ate healthy and walked and did the treadmill etc… still died 🤷🏽♀️
I come from Ogliastra, in Sardinia, one of the blue zones of the world in which people live longer and my grandparents ate mostly vegetables and only very rarely meat. Sadly this has changed now and people are eating more and more meat. I hope this won't affect our health :(
Meat has gotten such a terrible rap. Do people understand that Quality meat is the only thing that has every single vitamin & mineral thing that our bodies need to survive and Thrive. The issue, more & more is that meat is being messed with. People do not even know it. Also, fast food anything is not quality.
They did a study in Japan too. They attribute it to collagen from boiling the animal bones for long hours using it a broth. In Japan, it’s the pig trotters. What it is also rich in is probiotics which is good for digestion. The starting point of over all health.
My great grandma died at 105 of covid. Had no health issues, no diabetes, heart, blood pressure or mental/body diseases. Great gal. She ate meat everyday, had a vine glass at lunch and loved sweets.. specially rocambole de goiabada, a typical log cake with guava jam filling typical of our country. Loved butter as well, she used to eat an alarming amount of it with bread everyday kkkk
This soup looks absolutely fantastic!! 🎉. I will be making a big pot after Thanksgiving. I did want to say, however, that the difference between the “greens, beans, and grains” in Italy from the past and even today (most of Europe and the Netherlands, as well, etc.) and the foods here in U.S.A., now, is astronomical. We have so heavily sprayed our crops, created the GMO’s that are not healthy, that our produce have found ways (that are not healthy for our bodies) to survive and defend themselves. We have created😮some real frankenstein crops out there, esp. wheat! I buy only flour and noodles imported and as much grass fed and organic as possible; but is often quite expensive! I won’t eat oats anymore. We grow a little of our own; but, we don’t have a lot of space. Its a heartbreaking fact, but true. We cannot trust our own produce or most of our own foods. Don’t ask me what the answer is, I didn’t start the fire. 😔😢 Buy from local farmers markets and support local small establishments as much as possible?
I made a gigantic pot and ended up throwing it away. I’m not a fan of lentil soup. Or maybe I just don’t know a good recipe. Any recipe you have that’s good?
@@margaretmartinez1398 Thanks for the encouragement! I have come to realize how healthy and inexpensive they are. I like the idea of cooking a large portion and keeping some in the refrigerator, like you said.😄👍
one thing all these blue zone studies fail to mention is that the level of stress in these regions is negligible compared to the stress put under normal people in the us
One of those groups is Seventh-day Adventists in California. So it's not just being outside of the US that reduces stress; also putting your trust in God: He gives us a day of Sabbath rest every week 🙌🏾
I don’t think I’ve ever craved a soup this badly. This looks absolutely delicious and affordable. I’m not a vegetarian or a vegan but I really enjoy plant based meals and finding veggie dishes to help reduce my meat intake. This channel never fails to deliver inspiration!
To me the oldest living people were on a small islet off the coast of Italy and they drank dark red wine, ate goat meat and goat cheese and the men smoked daily 😂. Mean life expectancy was 97 years old lol.
@@HillbillyYEEHAAnot all the blue zones eat a lot of meat or animal products. They don’t eat processed food, they exercise, walk a lot. Usually they live near water too. But most importantly, they don’t eat processed food and their food sources aren’t allowed to have the same crap my American food system does.
The worlds longest families were in my tribe in Africa . They lived more than 100. Most of their diet is red meat and home processed butter. The never used cooking oil.
I feel so warm reading about all of your grandparents and their long lives. It’s amazing they could live so long. 3 of my grandparents died under 80 and didn’t really get to meet them. I’ll definitely takeaway advice from your comments 🥰
One of the main problems that we face is not having access to grains, produce and just about any food group that isn’t chemically treated or grown. The fast harvest approach is killing us. The chemicals that are used to make our foods “look pretty” diminishes the health value of what we eat :( I’ve got family and friends that live outside the states and they either have a change in their health when they come back to the US or visit or notice the difference in how they feel while eating our foods and drinking our water :(
My mother's grandma lived till she reached 93 years old, She was Turkish from countryside.. countryside people know how to eat real high value food not like us the city people.
City people can eat high quality food as well. It is prioritizing good food over gadgets, tablets and expenaive footwear that allow you the $$ to buy organic or nongmp food.
My boyfriend’s great aunt lived to 105. She was still sharp enough and physically agile/flexible to drive when she was 101. (People frequently thought she was in her 80s and very fit when she was in her 100s) One thing notable about her, that he had mentioned was that she was NEVER angry or mad. In her photos she always had an angelic smile, and glowed. One interesting thing she had for her diet was she made her own “live, raw” probiotic kraut in a stone crock. She’d make a big batch of it every month. She also had legumes daily and generally ate a Mediterranean type diet. I’m trying to eat more like she did.
My grandma lived 96 years she always had pure milk and bananas may be she like it and she had all vegetables and fruits in her garden too . she watched television in her 90s too where she said she can see and no need of spectacles. she was so healthy where she didn't got any disease...
My grandmother is 94 and loves the Lord! She eats "Soul Food" but loves veggies too! Her health would be perfect is she didn't catch COPD by second hand smoke from a Institution that she worked at as a janitor. But God! She still walks, talks, sings, dressed nice and is built like she is 30! She is a praying 😂woman too!!! So, the Lord has kept her in her right mind raising 10 children being poor...but God! I thank God for the Legacy and love of serving the Lord! But that soup is right on time for me! It looks so good! 🙌🤗🤗
Plants have saved my life for some years bow. Any time I get Im grateful for. I hope I heal. Plants are my best chance. Otherwise I would have died a long time ago, i truely believe.
I think the secret to longevity is not overeating, these people that live a long life their food was better quality growing up got better guthealth etc , how is it that some people eat a ton of meat or fish like icelanders and live very long lives , has to be quality , and just because food is quality doesnt mean you can eat whatever you want everyone body is differenr some peoole truly do better without meat maybe becauee prone to cholesterol etc some do better without so many grains sugar prone to blood sugar problems , most people are just average and can eat without problems but i dont always think vegetables = longevity , plenty of vegans die early , i think if you feel better eating that way than do it especially if you have genetic predisposition and i also noticed the older generation dont over eat i personally think thats the secret , over eating causes toxins and we all know what toxins escalate into
My Opa ate a cup of vegetable soup eith every lunch and swam in the North Sea every morning because it's what his father (a freedom fighter in ww2 occupied Netherlands who poisoned Nazi soldiers with spoiled meat) insisted that's what kept him alive.
Hi day 2 of asking for a series called “Nuts for nuts” (or you can call it anything u want ❤) and can it be a series about unique and delicious ways to eat more nuts? Thank u 💗💗 your recipes r delish
My grandfather and grandmother use to drink cooked rice water everyday he died at the age of 110+ and my grandmother is still alive she is also 90+ he also suggested me to drink it everyday
These talks are SO important! I've never worn make up but as an esthetician and beauty therapist I have seen first hand how peoples' personality changes when they are "dolled up". Thank you for sharing and keep up the amazing work! ✨
In Bangladesh, it's a street food named "Chotpoti"🇧🇩 Edit: In Bangladesh, it's very similar to "Chotpoti"🇧🇩. Mainly made with chikpeas,boiled potato,other vegetables and the liquid thing with spices. Also a common street food

I think the main reason behind living a long life is a stress free life and clean environment. I'm from the Himalayan region of India and our grandparents live long too. The main reason is clean environment, peaceful happy life, light food, organic vegetables and a lot of physical activity like climbing mountains is our daily routine. You'll hardly find a obese person in Himalayan region.
Ryt,For Himalayan region people,their environment is enough to calm them everytime!
One can be the most healthiest person on Earth. STILL DIES. it's by God's grace we have breath each day God has a plan and purpose beyond this Earth which is why God sent Jesus Christ to be spiritually saved healthy and beyond God's everlasting plan
You are so right stress free, clean environment, climbing staring active. You are so lucky you live their
Same brother,we also live in Himalayan regions.Life here is so peaceful and there is always clean food

Nigerian here; My grandfather lived to 114, born in 1900 and died in 2014. He ate whatever he liked but didn’t eat past 7pm. He fasted 40 days when he was in his 30s. Once in a while he would fast even as he got older. Never had dementia or any major disease. Drank a shot of whiskey for his stomach upset. Remarried at age 106! Honestly i think it’s the little things. Some people do all the right things and still die young. Lifestyle like stress level and genetics play a role too. Few of his family members died in their 100s too. My grand uncle 115, great grandma 105. They didn’t eat anything special but I heard their foods were more natural. I wish everyone a long, healthy and happy life. Thanks for sharing your recipe! ❤❤❤
Remarried At Age 106?!!! Wow!
@@zealheals yeah but a nigerian year is 5 regular years so he was really only 21

My mom is 101 and in quite great health. She is still smiling, recognizes people, and still tries to be funny and laugh about silly things. She was very poor most of her life and mostly ate the seasonal and local fresh foods. Little red meat, if ever, and very heavy on legumes for protein. Fresh everything, not cooked. By that I mean fresh unprocessed veggies and fruits. I am so thankful for her example. She is and has always been wise way before any “food fads.” Also wise and visionary. She was very close to God ask her life, and her prayers and communion with Him were always long conversations. She prayed for everyone she knew, especially us, her 4 daughters. Never discount the power of a mother’s prayer because I’ve been blessed thanks to her pleading to the Father. I’m thankful for her example of gratitude throughout her life, in spite of her circumstances. She’s been a great mom.
Amen ! 👏
Amen! God bless you mom! Prayers of the righteous availeth much!
Beautiful
And MAY GOD keep you 🧡
Not in spite of her circumstances, thanks to them! If you look at her faith you will see every follower of God the most faithful and firm were the ones thrown to heavy trials! Not easy comfort
why wouldn't she cook her vegetables? cooked vegetables are healthier than raw.
I am a grandmother and praying to God that my grandson can one day say nice things proudly about me like many of you in these comments Blessings to all.
You're blessed grandma 😇
Awwww❤

Maybe you should ask God to give YOU wisdom and discernment, so you would understand that asking God to make other people give you undeserved praise is from the devil.
@@ispitglamour she's just a grandmother who hopes her grandkids speak highly of her someday, what the hell's your problem?
Many Caribbean soups are made with those as well. 😋 My great grandmother lived to 108 and her brother, to 107. Her daughters died at 93 and 94. And my other grandaunt (on the other side) lived to 97. My grandma is still living now at 93. God is good and His mercies are new every morning.😊 Clean air and water, adequate rest and movement and living without carrying all the stresses of this world are also vital.
They cannot be from America with our horrible diet and air pollution!
My bisabuela from Cayey, Puerto Rico is also 93! Jesus helped her learn how to read when she was a little girl (scripture)🕊️

😂😂😂 smoked like a chimney 👍
I met a lithe 96yr old here in Portsmouth UK, shopping in Tesco yesterday, & she stood straighter & looked fitter than me! She was fully made up wearing jeans & a leather jacket, buying Tesco pizza & ready meals! I honestly believe attitude & our stress management has more to do with a good long life.
diet also matters be so fr omg😭
@@kai3e Yes of course diet matters in order to remain healthier, slimmer & more easily mobile , my point was that this lady at 96yrs old has not suddenly changed up her eating habits, she has always eaten what she wants in moderation. She was very proud to tell me she was 96yrs old & could eat what she felt like eating and still gained no weight.
Its more likely this stuff makes up a small % of her diet not a large % and she probably is active among other things.
@@MindfulMoments1444 Yes exactly, 💯 % correct. She had a wonderfully young & laid back attitude , she approached & was chatting with me as if we were old friends, I could see she was very confident & active , the only thing she complained about were the prices of Laundry detergent & her inability to carry the large sizes home. 😆 I was very envious of her trotting up and down the aisles obviously pain free & very attractive in her fashionable outfit , whilst I .40yrs her juniour looked like like a hobbling bag lady in my sliders & kaftan because unlike Miss 96yrs old , every step for myself is very painful , & my lack of mobility has made me gain weight despite the fact that I habitually cook well balanced meals. Health is wealth!
Absolutely
Yes!! Nigerian here. My paternal grandfather lived up to 114 and a couple months. He never used a walker and was still moving around like he was in his prime. I know genetics plays a part. But taking care of yourself and your health seriously is very important.
Plus, almost everything we eat in Nigeria has vegetables, spices and herbs.
Frankly, I only wish to live as long and as healthy as he did.
What did he pass from in the end?
@@peachyweachy5716 Crazy enough, he literally called my father the night before and told him not to drive tomorrow (the next day). And the next morning, we got a call that he had passed away peacefully in his sleep.
Till this day, it’s literally the craziest but also the most heartwarming time ever.
He was the most stubborn person I ever met. But, he was also the nicest person I have ever known. I can say, I definitely inherited his stubbornness lol.
I remember one time, me and him had a misunderstanding and we both were such coconut heads that we did not speak for about three months! And afterwards, he finally caved and called my father asking about me. I remember he was like “well, I guess we know where you got your character from. Anyways, when are you coming to visit? I know your school is out on holiday soon” it was so hilarious.
But now, what I wouldn’t give to banter with him and us just sitting outside and judging the people walking by.
My daughter in law’s grandmother from Mexico told me that the first most important thing for good health and longevity is self discipline in all things. Going to bed early, getting up early, eating with discipline, saving money, caring about others, thanking God and walking.
I ❤ this 😍
I love this
Adorable 🥰
Love that! Awesome
going to bed early is biggest challenge 🤔
Yess! My grandma died at the age of 102 and barely needed any medicine nor any glasses. Even a few days before her death, she was so energetic and physically active. All she swore by was a curry like thing filled with veggies and wild herbs...and of course a stress free life.
Oh yeah that last MAJOR part... 🙄
Yup! The stress free life is the main thing for longer life exactly... And fresh air to breath too.
Now if we can just figure out this whole "stress free" phenomenon lol
Curry? Qas it tumeric? Was she Indian?
Dear, how can I live stress-free, if my husband is stress-FUL!?!😊
Soups are the best meal,Less fats, no sugar, well balanced, filling & fortified with fresh vegetables full of minerals,vitamins & proteins, depending on what you put in it.
Nice in the winter months to keep you warm, healthy & hydrated.
My grandpa eats all kinds of food but a limited amount n home cooked, which is enough to fill the stomach.. He never eats outside food, processed and sugar items.. He's a vegetarian since childhood and rarely gets sick, visits hospital if needed.. He does walking regularly and keeps his mind active by playing puzzles n suduko..He cooks his own meal till now, he's 94 n still going good by god's grace 🙏
Amen
❤
Wise man!🙏🏼❤️
My grandmothers on both sides lived well into their 80’s,
Neither went to a doctor,
They ate foods like , raw cows milk and seltzer water delivered from a truck once a week in glass bottles, never had trash the slop went in a bucket for the pig farmers and the glass was returned and reused.
There was NO plastics when I was growing up.
Nope not like today,
One of my grams had to have a slice of bread with butter everyday with her dinner. They never drank alcohol or smoked either like their husband who both succumbed in their mid 60’s
@@Irish176 I'm from India, so here eating rice is a part of everyday food habits and my grandpa cooks it in potteries, no other utensils he uses.. My grandma (his wife) is alive and healthy too, she lives in the states with one of her daughters, she's 86.. 🙏 Basically home cooked meals brings major health to the body..
We eat this in Tunisia almost every day in the winter, we add different varieties of veggies including cardona ( I am not sure what's the English name but this is the Italian / Tunisian name) and it's very popular Mediterranean food, it's not known only in Tunisia or Sicily , it's all over the Mediterranean, people eat a lot of olive oil and vegetables and homemade food! Healthy living
what is it called in Tunisia? (the soup)
@@keyoree We refer to this dish as ‘pasta or macarona with veggies’ in our language. Although it is similar to soup, we don’t call it soup because we consider soup to be slightly different from this dish.
Cardona may be eggplant 🍆... aubergine..
Al-Brijin....
@@alysononoahu8702 here's the Google explanation below. It's definitely very different than the eggplants. It's green color and yummy 😰💗 Found in the wild along the Mediterranean, from Morocco and Portugal to Libya and Croatia, a cardoon is a thistle that tastes like a bitter version of a giant artichoke with small, prickly flower heads. But unlike an artichoke, you eat the stems, not the flower buds.

I have like 10 great uncles and they are all standing straight my great aunts too and all of them are over 80. Most of them I have never visited them in a hospital the first time one got ill and have to stay in the hospital for few nights we all got the scare of our life because it’s something new we are not use to them getting sick I can say for a fact they are healthier than the younger generation in the family.
People forget the importance of walking and working outdoors in fresh air. Eat fresh , local unprocessed food and run or walk for an hour every day. simple but so complex
Yep we tend to overcomplicate it. This right here is key. Eating a healthy diet, getting some sort of exercise and getting enough sleep.
exactly ! This is incredibly basic and easy, yet so hard considering our society and how we have to rush all the time, crazy
Well I cant make tasty soup so for me this is cool stuff 😂
Don't forget that life is a lottery. My mother's father has had one divorce and then two wives die of cancer. He's had meningitis, pneumonia and cancer. He smokes a pipe religiously. He drinks whisky by the bottle. He was the first UK resident to receive chemotherapy, so they didn't know about sperm damage, meaning his son was then born deformed and died at 6 months. He's a lonely and depressed alcoholic in a corner of Scotland.
How in the unholy hell is he still not dying?

*Correction* My husband's grandfather lived up to 119. He ate organic home grown fruit and veg, drank raw milk from his own cows, ate meat, fish and ate unrefined sugar. Was active till the end. Washed his own clothes by hand too. (I double checked with the husband and I got his grandfathers age wrong by a year. He also said his grandfather ate black strap molasses with rice, baby bananas and raw milk. One of his favourites).

He didn't keep dirt in his heart or head. he ate small healthy fresh meals and walked everywhere, never drove a car.

@@one-step-at-a-time-curiositytime to move. Yeah, don’t places in the USA have terrible planning/infrastructure
No dirt in heart or head. Beautiful ❤
That's amazing
My grandma used to make this every year the day before Thanksgiving when my family would drive up to visit & stay. Mind you, she was cooking Thanksgiving dinner the next day, and had also already made homemade Pumpkin pies. Then we moved 10mins away & never got it anymore. My grandma was pretty amazing.
To be clear they are the longest living populations because of the way the plants are grown, the environment, and the culture. You can't just toss together vegetables that are genetically modified (not that all genetic modification is bad but the rapid change we are doing recently is not tested long-term), sprayed with pesticides, grown in soil that is chemically enhanced, and population in the area is sky high. They are from places that still locally grow most of their diets and a decent part of their food is even garden grown. They have a good mix of modern medicine and older style of food sourcing. They have a moderate climate and a culture that supports self-care and moderate exercise Daily. So no eating a soup with the same name ingredients that you buy at a American supermarket is not the same thing. Not that it's not way better than McDonald's but I don't want people to have the impression they will get the same result if they eat this soup everyday
👏👏👏 exactly.
there is nothing wrong with GMO
True! But don't listen to National Geographic! They only showcased plant based foods because that fits their agenda! They are bought and paid for by The Gate Foundation, Pfizer, and the Government!!!
@@lady.gal. EVERYTHING about GMO is bad!!!
My great grandparents ate beans, cornbread, greens and fried chicken nearly every day. Over seventy years of marriage. Died in their nineties. I think it’s more about genetics, contentment and stress management than anything 😂
Stress free life and eating healthy is the key
@@mohitsingh5665 Genetics
Alright because my great-grandmother lived to be a hundred and nine she died the year I was born an eighth and threw down in the kitchen like everybody
Fried chicken…..is this a joke. Fried chicken is bad for you and no one should eat that garbage stop promoting this. You boil your meat but not fry.
Eating home-cooked meals & not processed foods seems to be key.
Honestly happiness is the secret ❤
Genetics has a lot to do with it as well as low stress. Despite having a fall induced brain injury, my mother still lived to the age of 99. My grandmother was 94 and my great grandmother was 99 when they passed. All of my uncles lived to nearly 90 before they passed as well. And they were average, everyday people who enjoyed life and loved soul food. Almost nobody went to fast food joints and home cooked meals (including all kinds of "bad" meats lol) were a part of everyday life. So there's more to living a long and healthy life than just plants. 😊
I agree 💯agree ❤😊
Plus, they were never vaccinated, unlike boomers.
The stress free environment I believe is the main factor. Fresh air, no polluted smoke and just even an underground well not the purified one had been sufficient enough for people long time ago to live a very long life.
Crazy, can't even think of reaching that age right now.. Even reaching 70 is an achievement
Just finished making this soup and it tastes delicious! Giving some to my parents and I’ve got meals prepped for the rest of the week with it 😊
The more you donate, the more happy you will be and longer will you live.

I love split pea soup never had it that way I am gonna try it though
My grandma is 80 and still works a full time job and you would never guess by looking at her that she’s 80. She almost exclusively eats soups like this - always lots of veggies, tries to be as active as possible, and her mind is sharp af.

🇮🇳 Indian here. From the western state of Gujarat. My grandmother died at 95 in March, 2018. I sometimes regret that I haven't lived the life and ate the food which she did. Her diet was purely vegetarian, consisting of raw milk, tomato and potato curry, drumsticks, clarified butter (ghee), boiled chickpeas, millet bread (roti) etc.
She would always narrate to the teenage me that whatever we r eating rn is processed and that she pities on our fate. I love u and miss u Baa 🥺❤.
My Grandma is currently 96 is still alive and doing well. I grew up 2 blocks from my Grandparents (100% Italian) and they ate like Italians do. Meat, Cheese, Bread, a lot of Pasta & Real Parmesan...Maybe it's worth mentioning that decades ago (in the late 70s) my Grandmother had Melanoma skin Cancer and survived. They always talked about how lucky she was and was missing a chunk of her arm where they removed everything. Anyway, she is still alive & well.
My great grandmother is 99 and was really self disciplined in her prime. Would always eat green leafy vegetables. Yes she emphasized green and leafy. Only when she hit her 90s that she craved into soda, sugar and sweets. She's still up and about ❤
She earned those treats
This looks delicious to me I will make it and enjoy it as it reminds me of how my 97 year old Grandma used to eat 😋❤️❤️❤️ Blessings to all our Elders and the families they have who treasure them 🙏🏾😄
My grandmother lived till 103 years old. She watched what she ate, had an incredible memory, was independent, energetic and one thing she never allowed stress to be part of her life. All her sisters lived up well into their 90’s, however, their sons didn’t live past their 70’s. So obviously whatever they consumed including their environment determined their life span.
My nana is 86 today! She died when she was 3 because of pneumonia but her nana breathed her back to life she’s survived that and cancer and is still kicking 😁
Is it really fair to say she died then?
@@xinpingdonohoe3978 yes.. if your heart stops you died bro🤣
@@l0veLY111 not really. Death is when you cease to be alive, the state in which you do not recover anymore and simply decay. My heart stops between every beat. Doesn't mean I died.
@@xinpingdonohoe3978 go tell that to all the people who talk about how they died and came back to life you may think that but that’s something they’ve experienced and somehow managed to miraculously survive to them and their family members and in my Nana’s case even the doctors they were gone their heart had stopped beating they weren’t ‘coming back’ with my nana the doctors stopped trying to revive her and even called time of death the only reason she is here is because her nana said fuck that and took the matter into her own hands so yes she did in fact die

Its all about genetics people. No reason not to eat all wonderful things in moderation. But as a career nurse working in oncology among other medical surgical areas, I've seen that some of the healthiest minded people still suffer from cancers. The amount of patients who have lamented to me asking "why me I ate healthy, ran marithons, never smoked...". Its sad but we are what we were made from. We are here because our ancestors were atrong but we still have an expiration date which is been proven to be cellular. I've learned you need to enjoy your life and do what you think is right for YOU. Its ignorant and not helpful to judge people for their life choices such as smoking or obesity. There may be environmental triggers that when a person is exposed gives that person cancer but not another who was exposed to the same thing. I've seen it as a nurse, so I'm sharing my hard earned knowledge and research. Part of my job has been assessment, asking questions and making family trees. Life is short enjoy it.
A Nurse was in my family as well. Bless you. I am convinced also things like will and altruism also play a part. And something to live for.
I really like it when people actually want to see the truth that life isn't always fair and speak about it. There are so many factors to hire long we life and we only control a few.
THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!!

I come from Ogliastra, in Sardinia, one of the blue zones of the world in which people live longer and my grandparents ate mostly vegetables and only very rarely meat. Sadly this has changed now and people are eating more and more meat. I hope this won't affect our health :(
People aren't eating good quality meat. They are getting meat and carbs from fast food.
Meat has gotten such a terrible rap. Do people understand that Quality meat is the only thing that has every single vitamin & mineral thing that our bodies need to survive and Thrive.
The issue, more & more is that meat is being messed with. People do not even know it. Also, fast food anything is not quality.
They did a study in Japan too. They attribute it to collagen from boiling the animal bones for long hours using it a broth. In Japan, it’s the pig trotters. What it is also rich in is probiotics which is good for digestion. The starting point of over all health.
My great grandma died at 105 of covid. Had no health issues, no diabetes, heart, blood pressure or mental/body diseases. Great gal. She ate meat everyday, had a vine glass at lunch and loved sweets.. specially rocambole de goiabada, a typical log cake with guava jam filling typical of our country. Loved butter as well, she used to eat an alarming amount of it with bread everyday kkkk
This soup looks absolutely fantastic!! 🎉. I will be making a big pot after Thanksgiving. I did want to say, however, that the difference between the “greens, beans, and grains” in Italy from the past and even today (most of Europe and the Netherlands, as well, etc.) and the foods here in U.S.A., now, is astronomical.
We have so heavily sprayed our crops, created the GMO’s that are not healthy, that our produce have found ways (that are not healthy for our bodies) to survive and defend themselves. We have created😮some real frankenstein crops out there, esp. wheat!
I buy only flour and noodles imported and as much grass fed and organic as possible; but is often quite expensive! I won’t eat oats anymore. We grow a little of our own; but, we don’t have a lot of space.
Its a heartbreaking fact, but true. We cannot trust our own produce or most of our own foods. Don’t ask me what the answer is, I didn’t start the fire. 😔😢 Buy from local farmers markets and support local small establishments as much as possible?
My grandpa lived till 102.He was into athletics all the way till his 50s.
Love how you literally just threw your ingredients into the pot. Thank you for making it look so easy! I'm inspired!
Lentil soup is truly the best especially if you live in a part of the world that's pretty cold.
It's heartwarming and flavorful 😍
I made a gigantic pot and ended up throwing it away. I’m not a fan of lentil soup. Or maybe I just don’t know a good recipe. Any recipe you have that’s good?
Lentils boiled up and then blended to a soup , add lemon juice and some beans , high protein and delicious
@@sman53I have to blenderize cooked lentils too. They're too chewy, otherwise. No matter how long I cook them. Even without salt.
@@walterscott2286I make lentil soup
often,,my family loves it. My mother made it often,also. I have some in my
fridge all made.. Delicious 😋.
@@margaretmartinez1398 Thanks for the encouragement! I have come to realize how healthy and inexpensive they are. I like the idea of cooking a large portion and keeping some in the refrigerator, like you said.😄👍
one thing all these blue zone studies fail to mention is that the level of stress in these regions is negligible compared to the stress put under normal people in the us
Absolutely right, I have been here for a year and my face has aged a lot, my health is bad, life is so fast here.
One of those groups is Seventh-day Adventists in California. So it's not just being outside of the US that reduces stress; also putting your trust in God: He gives us a day of Sabbath rest every week 🙌🏾
I don’t think I’ve ever craved a soup this badly. This looks absolutely delicious and affordable. I’m not a vegetarian or a vegan but I really enjoy plant based meals and finding veggie dishes to help reduce my meat intake. This channel never fails to deliver inspiration!
This looks absolutly delicious
To me the oldest living people were on a small islet off the coast of Italy and they drank dark red wine, ate goat meat and goat cheese and the men smoked daily 😂. Mean life expectancy was 97 years old lol.
Im all for eating healthy but I think stress management is probably a huge factor in longevity
@FracFrac96 and having friends and family. All the blue zones have strong family values... but they do eat alot of animal products 😂
Source: trust me bro
@@FracFrac96watch the blue zones documentary and read the books
@@HillbillyYEEHAAnot all the blue zones eat a lot of meat or animal products. They don’t eat processed food, they exercise, walk a lot. Usually they live near water too. But most importantly, they don’t eat processed food and their food sources aren’t allowed to have the same crap my American food system does.
That looks sooooo good!
The worlds longest families were in my tribe in Africa . They lived more than 100. Most of their diet is red meat and home processed butter. The never used cooking oil.
Exactly! You can't listen to National Geographic! They are funded by Lockheed Martin, the Gates Foundation and Pfizer!!!
That documentary was so good!
I feel so warm reading about all of your grandparents and their long lives. It’s amazing they could live so long. 3 of my grandparents died under 80 and didn’t really get to meet them. I’ll definitely takeaway advice from your comments 🥰
One of the main problems that we face is not having access to grains, produce and just about any food group that isn’t chemically treated or grown. The fast harvest approach is killing us. The chemicals that are used to make our foods “look pretty” diminishes the health value of what we eat :( I’ve got family and friends that live outside the states and they either have a change in their health when they come back to the US or visit or notice the difference in how they feel while eating our foods and drinking our water :(
Of course they feel different when drinking the water. Different bacteria lmao
My mother's grandma lived till she reached 93 years old, She was Turkish from countryside.. countryside people know how to eat real high value food not like us the city people.
City people can eat high quality food as well. It is prioritizing good food over gadgets, tablets and expenaive footwear that allow you the $$ to buy organic or nongmp food.
My boyfriend’s great aunt lived to 105. She was still sharp enough and physically agile/flexible to drive when she was 101. (People frequently thought she was in her 80s and very fit when she was in her 100s) One thing notable about her, that he had mentioned was that she was NEVER angry or mad. In her photos she always had an angelic smile, and glowed. One interesting thing she had for her diet was she made her own “live, raw” probiotic kraut in a stone crock. She’d make a big batch of it every month. She also had legumes daily and generally ate a Mediterranean type diet. I’m trying to eat more like she did.
Great grandma was 95.We eat turnips or collard greens out the backyard twice a week sometimes we only ate corn bread with it.i miss her so much
My grandma lived 96 years she always had pure milk and bananas may be she like it and she had all vegetables and fruits in her garden too . she watched television in her 90s too where she said she can see and no need of spectacles. she was so healthy where she didn't got any disease...
My grandmother is 94 and loves the Lord! She eats "Soul Food" but loves veggies too! Her health would be perfect is she didn't catch COPD by second hand smoke from a Institution that she worked at as a janitor. But God! She still walks, talks, sings, dressed nice and is built like she is 30! She is a praying 😂woman too!!! So, the Lord has kept her in her right mind raising 10 children being poor...but God! I thank God for the Legacy and love of serving the Lord! But that soup is right on time for me! It looks so good! 🙌🤗🤗
Plants have saved my life for some years bow. Any time I get Im grateful for. I hope I heal. Plants are my best chance. Otherwise I would have died a long time ago, i truely believe.
I think the secret to longevity is not overeating, these people that live a long life their food was better quality growing up got better guthealth etc , how is it that some people eat a ton of meat or fish like icelanders and live very long lives , has to be quality , and just because food is quality doesnt mean you can eat whatever you want everyone body is differenr some peoole truly do better without meat maybe becauee prone to cholesterol etc some do better without so many grains sugar prone to blood sugar problems , most people are just average and can eat without problems but i dont always think vegetables = longevity , plenty of vegans die early , i think if you feel better eating that way than do it especially if you have genetic predisposition and i also noticed the older generation dont over eat i personally think thats the secret , over eating causes toxins and we all know what toxins escalate into
This looks so good. I see it so often and want to try it.🥘💕
My Opa ate a cup of vegetable soup eith every lunch and swam in the North Sea every morning because it's what his father (a freedom fighter in ww2 occupied Netherlands who poisoned Nazi soldiers with spoiled meat) insisted that's what kept him alive.
My great grandfather fought for the axis. You should take this down.
Now i get what "yeh rishta kya kehlata hai ooooooooo" cast eats. 😂😂
That soup looks incredible!
Hi day 2 of asking for a series called “Nuts for nuts” (or you can call it anything u want ❤) and can it be a series about unique and delicious ways to eat more nuts? Thank u 💗💗 your recipes r delish
My grandfather and grandmother use to drink cooked rice water everyday he died at the age of 110+ and my grandmother is still alive she is also 90+ he also suggested me to drink it everyday
it’s so colorful and gorgeous i just know it tastes amazing
This is my favorite soup. 🍲❤️❤️❤️
Mine too! I cook mine with Parmesan rinds! Delish!!!
My Italian grandfather lives to 94 years old. His secret to longevity was garlic, gristle and wine. Not in that order ☺️
These talks are SO important! I've never worn make up but as an esthetician and beauty therapist I have seen first hand how peoples' personality changes when they are "dolled up".
Thank you for sharing and keep up the amazing work! ✨
In Bangladesh, it's a street food named "Chotpoti"🇧🇩
Edit: In Bangladesh, it's very similar to "Chotpoti"🇧🇩. Mainly made with chikpeas,boiled potato,other vegetables and the liquid thing with spices. Also a common street food
Sorry just because someone is using cheakpeas Does not mean that is "chotpoti". Chotpoti is very unhealthy
Ata chotpoti na dude
@@lostdream2chotpoti isn't unhealthy if you make it at home ,just because chotpoti is a street food doesn't mean it is unhealthy food ,is it ?Chotpoti is a really healthy food where potato ,eggs, tamarind are added .It has less oil than most of the deep fried other street food
It's not chotputi it literally has macaroni lol
@@tartar956 yet very similar to Chotpoti yk. Also the macaroni/pasta was not cooked.
My grandma is 103 and is still alive today. She's healthier than me.
Looks so good!!
