Inside your kitchen cabinet there are probably dozens of spices and herbs you should be using more liberally… and more often.

Rosemary is one of them.

Recent research published in Oncology Reports found that rosemary has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage.

What’s more, this piney spice showed strong cancer-fighting activity against leukemia and breast cancer cell lines.

Because rosemary is so effective at inhibiting oxidation, you may already have started to see it listed as a natural preservative (Vitiva) in some of your favorite foods.

In the meantime, add this “herb of remembrance”

At my age which is north of forty I combat andropause and aging by starting the day with a fresh fruit smoothie to which I add a scoop of protein, oat bran and half a teaspoon of cinnamon.

I also take joy in the fact that I am responsible for my own health and barring and act of God or accident I’m in charge of my well being.

I can say this because it has been proven without a shadow of a doubt that most of our dreaded diseases associated with aging are in fact a result of a bad lifestyle, diabetes, heart disease can be prevented by you!

I recently read Dan Buettner, whose latest book, The Blue Zones, is a veritable treasure trove of tips for longevity and anti aging.

Buettner is an explorer whose work for National Geographic led to the book.

He investigated four parts of the world where there are more healthy centenarians than anywhere else - Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, CA; Okinawa, Japan; and Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula.

The following 5 tips comes from the people who’ve achieved “anti aging” better than anyone else alive.

1. MOVE. Longevity’s living legends engage in regular, low-intensity physical activity, whether it be hiking, shepherding, gardening, walking, yoga, or something else.

The data suggest that moderate, even easy, activity done on a daily basis will extend your life.

2. “Hara hachi bu.” This Okinawan saying means “Stop eating when your stomach is 80% full.” Clear enough?

Reducing calories by a mere 20% will extend your life and ensure a better quality of life..

3. Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. While readers of ETR know that higher-protein diets can be really healthy, that doesn’t rule out a diet that’s also loaded with vegetables.

All of the long-lived peoples investigated by Buettner ate a plant-based diet with almost no processed foods.

4. Drink some alcohol. In Sardinia, it’s wine. In Okinawa, it’s sake. Whatever you prefer, alcohol in moderation seems to reduce both stress and inflammation.

5. Have a purpose, a reason for living. Okinawans call it ikigai. Nicoyans call it plan de vida.

In both cultures, the phrase translates to “why I wake up in the morning.” Develop a strong sense of purpose, connection to others, and community.

It’s the best anti aging and longevity advice you can find anywhere.

These people are living it!

Live the dream!
