This is due to the limited availability and high cost of meat, only allowing for occasional meat consumption during holidays or family gatherings. However, the majority of a centenarian diet consists of beans, nuts and seeds, whole grains, and fresh non-GMO fruits and vegetables.
What foods do centenarians eat?
Centenarians eat an impressive variety of garden vegetables and leafy greens (especially spinach, kale, beet and turnip tops, chard and collards) when they are in season. During the off-season, they pickle or dry the surplus.
Is it true that vegetarians live longer?
A team of researchers at Loma Linda University in the United States has shown vegetarian men live for an average of 10 years longer than non-vegetarian men — 83 years compared to 73 years. For women, being vegetarian added an extra 6 years to their lives, helping them reach 85 years on average.
