Centenarians from the blue zones typically eat a mainly plant-based diet. They favor beans, greens, yams and sweet potatoes, whole grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds. This recipe combines a few centenarians staples. “Poppy seeds and hempseeds add texture and healthy fats to this unusual but delicious take on your morning oats. Poppy seeds aren’t just for the tops of bagels and desserts; they are an unsung fountain of nutrition. They contain high levels of grounding nutrients (even in small amounts) like calcium, iron, protein, and fiber. Hempseeds, like poppy seeds, also contain these same nutrients, plus the addition of zinc and magnesium.”
