Longevity Mung Bean Soups and Porridge

 

Have you heard of the Blue Zones? These are places around the world where people live very long lives. Studies show that genetics plays less than a 50% role in longevity. A common factor amongst all of these long-living groups is that they have a diet rich on vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and healthy fats.Even better is that your VitaClay cooker is perfect for these foods and makes meal prep a breeze!  

Looking to boost your longevity nutrition? Try mung beans. They have been cultivated for over 7,000 years and there is a good reason: they are delicious as well as being full of protein, fiber, antioxidants. They have antifungal and antimicrobial properties too. Sounds like the perfect bean for the winter! An added bonus is that they are easy to sprout.
