What Do People Who Live to be 100+ Eat For Breakfast?
Did you know that there are five regions around the world where people frequently live to be 100 or older? Within these locations, the people who live there have lifestyles that incorporate exercise, active social lives and, of course, healthy eating habits. Here’s a look at what many people in these regions have for breakfast each day!
Icaria, Greece
Sourdough bread with olive oil and eggs or sheep’s milk yogurt with honey, nuts and fruit are two popular breakfasts in Icaria. Though these healthy breakfast options sound delicious, many Icarians choose to skip breakfast in order to practice intermittent fasting.
Loma Linda, California
An average breakfast in Loma Linda might incorporate low-cooked oatmeal with nuts, dates and soy milk. Add a glass of prune juice for some extra potassium and iron!
Nuoro Province, Sardinia, Italy
Traditional gioddu, a goat-milk yogurt, and whole wheat bread sweetened with honey is a typical breakfast for Sardinians. The goat milk yogurt is full of omega 3 and 6, healthy fats that can support heart health and lower your triglycerides.
Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
Gallo pinto — rice and beans — with eggs is a breakfast staple in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. Combined with a corn tortilla and side of local fruit like papaya or banana, this meal offers plenty of fiber and protein —and is complimented with a strong cup of coffee.
Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
Soy and sweet potatoes are favorites in Okinawan cuisine. An average breakfast may consist of bread made with purple yam and turmeric, miso soup and an array of marinated veggies and fresh fruits. Nattō, a dish made from fermented soybeans, promotes gut health and is known for reducing inflammation.
