If you grow fruits and vegetables, as many centenarians do, you’ll gain the health benefits of adding these items to your daily diet. Take my uncle for example. He’s 88 and still gardens, grows his own cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes and more and the man can outrun most people half his age!
Not only will you be eating more plants, you’ll also get more nutrition from them. Most fruits and vegetables lose 30% of nutrients three days after harvest due to respiration — a natural process by which they continue to “breathe” after they’re removed from the ground. (If you buy produce in a supermarket, there’s a high probability it was picked several days earlier or even longer.)
