Blue Zones diets are 90% to 100% plant-based and very high in carbohydrates. About 65% carbs, but not simple carbs like muffins and cakes—complex carbs like beans, oatmeal, 100% whole-wheat bread, quinoa, barley, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Complex carbohydrates deliver a slow and steady energy, rather than the spike you get from processed carbohydrates like white flour. #bluezones #bluezoneslife #mybluezoneslife #bluezoneschallenge #bluezoneslifechallenge #livebetterlonger #livelongerbetter #longevity #plantbased #vegan #diet #carbs #carbohydrates #beans #oatmeal #quinoa #potatoes #barley REPOST @danbuettner Get more tips on how to live better, longer straight to your inbox by subscribing to the Blue Zones Newsletter.
