1. Next Time You’re Asked “Soup or Salad?” Order the Salad
+2 years
Italian researchers found that eating as little as 1 cup of raw vegetables daily can add 2 years to your life. Why raw? Cooking can deplete up to 30 percent of the antioxidants in vegetables.
To eat your quota, fill a ziplock sandwich bag with chopped red and green peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Toss the bag into your briefcase, along with a packet of dressing–the fat will boost your body’s absorption of certain nutrients.
Try these 8 super salads loaded with disease-fighting foods.

Thank you!
Great ideas! Thanks!
thanks for the great article
Very informative, thanks!
It's not only how long one lives, but how well one lives.
I don't want to be living like goat and die like an old horse. As human I want to live like one. I want to eat everything HE created for us but I know I must eat them in moderation. Part of living is being active. So we need to exercise diligently. That's a must to stay fit, healthy and keeping our metabolism at peak, then eat some more.
You only live once...live a quality life and live it to the fullest! Too mush restrictions are just unnecessary stress.
I'm 63, my metabolic age is 45. I'm a gym grunter and a golf fanatic. Never spent a dime for health service for as long as I know. I don't care if I live to a 100. But right now I want eat everything under the sun (except rocks and metals) and still be happily healthy.
Great tips, thank you!
I don't want any extra years.
I'll put in my time but I want to go home.
I remember.
Thanks for the tips!
