Dan Buettner, who has spent 20 years studying the longest-lived people, shares his eating habits and how he incorporates a longevity diet into his life.
His research covered a variety of factors, including diet. But what does Buettner himself eat after a lifetime of learning about longevity? "I've spent 20 years studying the longest-lived people, and I know what they do as populations to live a long time," he tells CNBC Make It."But I'm not one of these1. Eating within a 10- to 12-hour window "I know that the longest-lived people are eating most of their calories in about a 10- or 12-hour window," Buettner says.
"And so I usually have just two meals a day.""Miami nightlife kind of forces me out," the Florida resident says."It's not exactly blue zone that way, so I tend to have breakfast at about 11.""I always get my beans and try both meals," he says."I start my day with Sardinian minestrone, which has three kinds of beans and about five kinds of vegetables."Though Buettner acknowledges that going out for dinner nearly every night doesn't align with a longevity diet, it's a part of his life that he doesn't feel a need to change. "It's hard to eat really healthy when you go out, no matter where you go," he say
