‘World’s oldest person’ celebrates her ‘129th birthday’

Interesting that she does not have any idea why she has lived so long. Her granddaughter says:

Her granddaughter Azma attributes her longevity to a healthy plant-based nutrition of and hard manual work.

She said: “Grandma hasn’t been eating meat for a very long time, even chicken. She only eats fruit and vegetables.”

Too bad she’s so unhappy. Her family seems to love her dearly… that alone is reason to be full of joy.

Eating Within Six Hours

Research shows eating within a smaller window of time may improve health (click here).

In one study, eight men with prediabetes spent five weeks on a “finish-eating-by-3pm” plan, then another five weeks on a ‘typical’ American eating schedule.

On the program they ate breakfast between 6.30am and 8.30am each morning, and ate dinner no later than 3pm, six hours later. They then fasted for the rest of the day — which amounted to about 18 hours.

On the typical American diet, they ate their meals over a 12-hour period.

They consumed exactly the same foods, with exactly the same amount of calories, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and nutrients – monitored carefully be the researchers.

The early eaters dramatically improved their sensitivity to insulin, protecting them from dangerous spikes in blood sugar levels.

It also lowered their blood pressure and oxidative stress levels and reduced their cravings for snacks in the evening.

Another research plan with similar results had participants eating all meals between 8am & 2pm.

One food category that might best predict cancer

This harmful “ultra-processed” food, as the researchers called it,

may include packaged sweet pastries and muffins, chips, candy, sodas, frozen dinners like meatballs and fish sticks, instant ramen noodles, sugary cereals, and pretty much anything else you can imagine that’s cheap and comes in a ready-to-go packet or container at the store.
