Eating the same meals daily improves your life SIGNIFICANTLY.
Whenever I'd see patients over 100 years old in hospital, I always observed their habits and it was really obvious they mostly did the same things:
- Same meals daily: Leaner meats, fish, vegetables.
- Potatoes or rice for carbs. They did have toast and butter often though.
- Never ate beyond satiety. None of them ate a lot.
- Never snacked or grazed throughout the day. Seemed intuitive rather than planned.
- Stopped eating quite early. 6-7pm.
- Very little sugar outside of fruit. I know, sorry.
- Regular sleeping rhythm.
I will note, some seemed like night owls. Consistent though.
- Still haven't met one that drank coffee. Again, don't cope in comments I truly don't care about that one person you know who is 813 and loves coffee. This is just what I've observed from running into many people around and crossing the 100 year old age range.
They seemed to prefer milk and tea.
- None smoked. At all.
- Very low amount of alcohol consumption. Most don't have any at all. Those that did would typically go to neurosurgery bc they brain bleeds. Most commonly said they stopped many decades prior.
- A lot of that generation seem to prefer things like prunes over meds to naturally facilitate their bowel movements. They'd refuse senna etc. initially
- Never really saw former athletes or those that trained intensely even in their youth. They just walked around and did stuff.
- None were particularly tall. All average in build, slim but not gaunt.
- Many of them had a close blood relative that lived for a very long time too.
