Overview

This video demonstrates how to prepare three anti-aging meals that follow specific nutritional criteria for longevity. Bryan Johnson explains the five rules for every meal, emphasizing elite ingredients, specific macronutrient ratios (25% protein, 35% carbohydrates, 40% fat), inclusion in the "Don't Die Food Guide," and exclusion of unhealthy components like sugars and fried foods. He then walks through the preparation of Sweet Potato Curry, a Green Smoothie, and a Roasted Veg, Lentil & Chickpea Bowl.

Key takeaways

• Five Rules for Every Meal: Each meal must use elite longevity ingredients, meet specific macronutrient ratios (25% protein, 35% carbs, 40% fat), be included in the "Don't Die Food Guide," avoid sugars and fried foods, and ideally be prepared in batches for 3 days of meals.
• Sweet Potato Curry: This dish features ingredients like macadamia nuts, cauliflower, turmeric, and ginger. It is important to use stainless steel or ceramic cookware to avoid harmful chemicals, and avocado oil for its high smoke point. Chopping broccoli and cauliflower and letting them sit for 40 minutes before cooking maximizes sulforaphane, a potent anti-cancer compound.
• Green Smoothie: Smoothies are a healthy way to consume fruits and vegetables as they retain fiber, aiding in slower sugar absorption and gut health. Key ingredients include macadamia nut milk, banana, cherries, pomegranate seeds, hemp seeds, wheatgrass, chia seeds, lemon juice, and spinach.
• Roasted Veg, Lentil & Chickpea Bowl: This satisfying meal involves roasting vegetables like cauliflower, zucchini, and bell peppers. Black lentils are highlighted for their high protein and fiber content, contributing to satiety and reduced blood sugar spikes. Shiitake mushrooms are included for their beneficial compounds, and the dressing is made with high-polyphenol olive oil.
