This video is one of many that Bryan Johnson has shared on his YouTube channel to provide recipes for anti-aging lunches.
Bryan Johnson (46 years old) is an American tech millionaire who gained attention for spending two million dollars a year to establish an in-depth anti-aging program called Project Blueprint. The focus of Project Blueprint is on proper nutrition.
Below is the content of Bryan Johnson’s video “How to Make an Anti-Aging Lunch”:
“I have spent millions of dollars over the past three years to slow down my aging process. Throughout this journey, my team and I have researched scientific evidence and attempted to design the perfect diet where every calorie must ‘fight’ to survive.
Today, I will introduce you to one of my favorite meals called ‘super veggie,’ a delicious way to provide your body with plenty of vegetables. Chef Jamie will guide you on how to prepare this dish in 20 minutes. I eat this every day, and it is one of my favorite moments. You will love it too.
- First, weigh and chop the raw vegetables. Start with cauliflower, an anti-inflammatory vegetable rich in fiber, cut into small pieces totaling 150g. Do the same with broccoli, totaling 250g. Broccoli is rich in antioxidants, good for digestion, and provides fiber.
- Next, weigh 50g of shiitake or maitake mushrooms to boost your immune health. Peel a clove of garlic for heart health and immunity, and 3g of ginger to support the liver, pancreas, arteries, and digestion. Mince the garlic and ginger, and set them aside.
- Next, boil the broccoli, cauliflower, and mushrooms for 7-9 minutes until they soften.
- The base of the ‘super veggie’ will be 150g of cooked black lentils, which provide protein and fiber.
- Take the boiled broccoli, cauliflower, and mushrooms, and add them to the lentil base.
- There are a few more ingredients to complete the ‘super veggie’: add 1 tablespoon of dill to reduce inflammation and support liver and pancreas health; 1 teaspoon of hemp seeds for healthy omega-6 and omega-3; and add the minced ginger and garlic from earlier. Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to regulate blood sugar and enhance flavor. I also add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to every meal for its overall health benefits.
- You have completed the ‘super veggie’! I usually take about 34 minutes to eat this. Sometimes, I make a blended version, which is both tasty and saves time because, let’s be honest, we all have a lot to do. For this version, just put the prepared ‘super veggie’ and a bit of water into a blender and blend until smooth. Whether blended or chopped, you can sprinkle a bit of fresh salt—sodium-free salt substitute—on top. The ‘super veggie’ makes me incredibly happy, and it will make you feel that way too.
