[elleng]

In the quest for longevity and vibrant health, the habits of centenarians around the world have been a subject of fascination for many. After two decades of dedicated research into the dietary patterns of individuals who have celebrated their 100th birthdays, a groundbreaking discovery has emerged—the world’s No. 1 healthiest breakfast. In this blog, we unveil the secrets behind this breakfast and explore how it can contribute to overall well-being.

The Power of a Centenarian’s Plate: Centenarians, those who have surpassed the remarkable milestone of living for a century, offer a unique perspective on life and health. One common thread among these individuals is their dietary choices, especially when it comes to the first meal of the day. Let’s delve into the key components that make up the world’s healthiest breakfast.

Oats: The Heart of the Matter At the forefront of this powerhouse breakfast is the humble oat. Packed with essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals, oats have been a staple in the diets of many long-lived individuals. Not only do they provide sustained energy throughout the day, but they also contribute to heart health and weight management.

Colorful Array of Fruits and Berries Centenarians embrace the vibrant hues of nature by incorporating a diverse range of fruits and berries into their breakfast routine. Rich in antioxidants, these colorful additions help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, promoting cellular health and longevity.

Protein-Packed Goodness A vital component of the world’s healthiest breakfast is a moderate serving of lean protein. Whether it’s eggs, yogurt, or plant-based alternatives, protein plays a crucial role in muscle maintenance, immune function, and satiety, keeping you energized and satisfied.

Healthy Fats for Brain and Body The inclusion of healthy fats, such as nuts, seeds, and avocados, is a common theme among centenarians. These fats support brain function, aid in nutrient absorption, and contribute to a feeling of fullness, preventing overeating later in the day.

Hydration: A Morning Ritual Centenarians understand the importance of staying hydrated. The world’s healthiest breakfast is accompanied by a refreshing glass of water or herbal tea, kickstarting the day with proper hydration and supporting various bodily functions.

1. If it worked for your dad then it will work for us.

2. Orange juice #1 part!

Always had a small dessert w dinner, like piece of pie. He had very well-rounded diet.

3. The New York City breakfast, according to Fran Lebowitz:

A cup of coffee and a cigarette.

6. Having lived in NYC, in Manhattan, twice, I'd guess that most New Yorkers add pastry or a bagel

of some type to that as soon as they leave their apartments. At least they did when I lived there. (Probably a few more NYers on keto diets these days. I ate high-protein breakfasts even then, after finding Adelle Davis's books in a midtown Manhattan health food store in the 1970s.)

And Fran brags about taking half an hour to make a pot of coffee at home. Calls herself the Einstein of coffee.

4. Any recipes?

Anyone have any recipes that incorporate the suggested breakfast components?

Mostly wondering about what protein to add to oatmeal. Making oatmeal is of course easy, but putting yogurt or egg in my oatmeal for extra protein just doesn't appeal. I firmly adhere to the belief that what I eat should appeal to my palette. Since I have a limited number of meals in my lifetime, I want to enjoy them all! I make compromises for health by omitting unhealthy foods and forcing myself to choke down psyllium everyday, but I want the remaining healthy choices to be food I enjoy eating. I find that pleasing my palette as well as my health needs really adds to my feeling of satiation. If I eat stuff I don't enjoy because it is healthy, I find that once I'm done, I'm still hankering for something tasty and am more prone to grab an unhealthy snack later.


I could add soy milk to oatmeal, since it has about 7 grams protein and I love it, but I do heavy physical labor all day and think I should have 15 grams or more of protein at breakfast.

Suggestions appreciated!

5. My typical breakfast is a cup of cottage cheese (26 grams of protein) with blueberries or black grapes, followed

by cereal (often oatmeal) with milk - real milk - and a banana, then half a cup of orange juice and at least half a cup of milk (I take my vitamins with the OJ and milk I drink). And I'll have black coffee, too.

Lots of protein, lots of potassium (also important for muscles, including the heart), fairly healthy carbs with the sweetness from fruit. Takes little time to prepare and eat, and I don't feel hungry again for several hours.

I usually don't take the time to cook eggs or meat for breakfast unless I have company.

I buy Daisy brand cottage cheese because it has only 3 ingredients - cultured skim milk, cream and salt - rather than stabilizers like guar gum, which you'll find in cheaper brands with less protein.

Editing to add that the milk adds at least 8 grams of protein, so that's 34 grams of protein to start the day. I don't count the incomplete proteins in cereal.

8. Try refrigerator or overnight oats

Uncooked oats soaked in milk. Place in fridge overnight . In the morning add more milk with fruit and or yogurt. I've had this everyday for a decade.

7. Close to my diet.

Don't know if I'll make 100, or even if I want to, but I'm 75 and still running up and down stairs. Moringa leaf powder capsules keep the joint pain at bay.

9. Short on meat, bread? Coincidence?

10. Thank You for this wonderful article about..."OATS"

11. Alas, I have never liked oatmeal.

These days I have a cup of coffee with cream and sugar for breakfast. I usually only eat one meal a day. I do drink lots of water.

75 and still moving forward. Oh, oh, and I have plans for my 97th birthday, because there's a total solar eclipse I want to see which will take place about a week before that birthday.
