The best super food longevity smoothie.

[pryme]

So about a year ago I became interested in foods that may help extend life and/Or prevent common diseases, and with research, I put this together. I've been drinking thus 50oz shake every morning since.
The only ingredient I forgot to add for the video is cinnamon.

What do ya think?

Blending everything in kitchen in order not to chew.

I don't care for Youtube videos but please tell us what foods extend our life. I'm interested.

PS. grinding fiber at high speed decreases fiber particle size and is not recommended if you're after the health benefits.

Beer.

Beer.

It’s porter and stout season. Getting my antioxidants in on the weekends

You have just reminded me to put my Winter selection order in. Belgians FTW

We have these in many grocery stores here. Yet to try them.

This is scientifically proven to extend the lives of people around me.

This. I don't have time to painfully watch someone explain something in 30 minutes something that i can read a recipe for in 10 seconds.

Its a win win.

oats, raw honey, banana, bee pollen, flax,chia, EVOO, berries, carrots, broc****, spinach, kale, spirulina, grape seed extract, curcumin, wheat grass, whey protein

Probably more variety for breakfast then the average american eats all year.

OP. A few black pepper corns will significantly increase the bioavailability of the curcumin(and other things).

You can also start with ice and fresh lemon juice to help prevent oxidation from blending.

I forgot to add my cinnamon in the video, I also sometimes do orange, cucumber or other items when I have them.

I take a tab of pepperine every morning also. For the curcumin.

So what does the ice or lemon juice actually do?

Thanks

[Mrpb]

That concoction probably costs more than an average day of eating

[AdamWW]

Almost a 9 minute video on how to make a smoothie....

no thanks.

Plus... i'm sorry but smoothies are extremely overrated unless you're in a huge hurry or you somehow cannot chew your food...

I'd rather enjoy the taste of my ingredients than chug them...

[pryme]

No, it's not bad. I buy the powders in bulk on Amazon. Bought locally they cost a lot more.

A ton less than all those pre workout powders ppl love to use. Or all the booze and cigarettes lots of ppl buy daily.

As to eating all of this without blending? Have fun.

[Mrpb]

Yeah I eat my salads. I know, it's weird.

[pryme]

I know you're trying to be a funny guy but you wouldn't eat a salad with all the things in my drink. Have you tried spirulina, wheat grass, grape seed extract, and curcumin powders?

Obviously not.

[Mrpb]

I know you're trying to be a funny guy but you wouldn't eat a salad with all the things in my drink.

Forgot to tell you, I eat fruit seperate from my salad and I chew on it myself. People call me old fashioned.

Have you tried spirulina, wheat grass, grape seed extract, and curcumin powders?

Never. There's no proven benefit for me as my diet already reaches >100% micronutrient sufficiency.

Work (or volunteer) at a cancer hospital then come back and tell me if you still want to blend shakes like that for longevity/health. Once you see the wide range of persons who get cancer, you might think twice about whether anything we do for health actually means anything. The most stunning moment of my time there was when i met a triathlete who was arguably one of the most "healthiest" and fit persons i've come across in my life. His body was riddled with cancer and he had only a couple months to live.

At the end of the day i get very close to meeting my micro nutrient goal eating foods i love. I'm more likely to die in a car accident, get cancer, or die from some other random disease than i am to die from old age. Not to chit on your parade here OP, but sorry i gotta chit on it.

[Brozef]

So if I were to drink one or two of these life saving drinks per day, and drank as many 40oz malt liquors as I wanted, would they still have the intended effect?

EDIT: wizard above me stole my thunder

Similar observations with my late grandmother.

She grew up eating loads of bacon, butter, processed flour, ice cream, refined sugar, basically any combination of high-saturated fats + refined sugars you can think of (and i'm not demonizing bacon/butter/etc, but her consumption was clearly putting her above the recommended healthy levels)... wasn't obese or anything but in her later years just held extra weight as most old people will do.... never got cancer... no real health issues until she was in her mid 80's... and even then she didnt take more than 1-2 medications that I know of. Died in her sleep at 87.

Then there's my uncle who ran 5 miles a day, ate pounds of veggies and fruit every day, seemed to do ALL the right things... and he died at 42 of cancer...

Reducing risk of issues is one thing, but if people think that adding non-GMO hemp-alfalfa bulletproof spinach extract to their raw organic spirulina smoothie is going to add even 1% to their cancer reduction risk... naw... it won't.. especially if you're already doing so much in other areas (micros, maintaining healthy weight, exercise, etc).

You should try making recipes with ingredients that compliment each other instead of just blending a bunch of random things together because 'more is better '.

Try banana, cacao, maca, coconut, ginger, with a bit of maple syrup.

Or a green shake with green apple, kale, spirulina, and honey.

Having all the ingredients you listed everyday is overkill and expensive.

[Mrpb]

As far as I know a lot of those 'super foods' lack compelling evidence to support their benefits.

Curcumin "No double-blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial of curcumin has been successful."
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/...edchem.6b00975

Bee pollen "The claims made for bee pollen supplements are typically over-hyped and evidence-free"
https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/bee...-or-effective/'

Wheat grass "There is no sound evidence to support the claim that wheatgrass is better than other fruits and vegetables in terms of nutrition." https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/superfoo...superfood.aspx

Oh and chia seeds are a poor source of omega 3 because of the poor conversion of alpha-linolenic acid to docosahexaenoic acid.

I can come up with one artical for each if those too, along with an artical disputing every single item you consume, but why?

Again, this shake is not really that expensive. I guess I could do the math but I'm sure it's not more than 2 dollars. A very small amount of money in my opinion. I may figure it out as I really have not thought about it. Even if it was 3 dollars, is that a lot?

People spend 6 dollars on a milkshake looking coffee every morning or 8 dollars on their pack of smokes.
