Ok, fine. Maybe I’ll start eating yogurt. But it will have to be the flavored version; I’d never be able to get the unflavored stuff down.

Excerpt:

Where to find this probiotic?

Like other probiotic bacteria, B. bifidum can be produced outside your body and ingested orally. Certain foods are abundant in it, including:

yogurt with added cultures

kefir, a fermented milk drink

buttermilk

fermented foods including kimchi, tempeh, miso, and pickles

cured meats

certain wines

sauerkraut

sourdough bread

some vinegars

Manufacturers sell tablets of B. bifidum that you can take orally. The quality of these products can vary considerably, and it’s important to evaluate where you get your supplement. We recommend using the website labdoor.com to find a trusted source of probiotics and check the expiry dates.

I eat a small carton of Trader Joe’s fat-free raspberry yogurt every night for dessert. really delicious.

I’m 89, which no one believes. My MD says he’s never seen anyone my age as healthy as I am. Expects me to live 100 years. I do hope so. Life is fun and no-one else would love my b@tchy kitty.

I’ve been eating yogurt for years, and it hasn’t made me 117 years old.

I inherited one of those “reverse life insurance” policies from my parents. The idea is you pay the annual premiums and when the person dies, you get the payout. I and my three siblings got a quarter of it. But here’s the rub: We had to pay the premiums for two years before she died, leaving us with about four times what we paid in. And she died at 99.

But here’s the problem with that sort of thing: It’s hard to not “hope” she dies soon. I would NEVER buy such an investment. It’s just creepy.

And yeah, if someone bought such a policy on this woman, they almost certainly lost money.

Try FAGE plain NONFAT Greek yogurt.

IMHO, it is the best on the market.
I eat it almost every morning.

I add a couple tablespoons of Wyman’s Frozen Wild Blueberrys to it. Which taste better than cultivated blueberries. Or in season my own blueberries from my seven bushes.

There was a story from France, IIRC, a few years back about a real estate investor that wanted a certain widow’s property, but she wouldn’t sell. She was in her early 80’s I think.

So he approached her with this deal. He would give her the money for her property now, and when she died he would take ownership, and she said okay.

She lived to be like 115 and he died 12 years before she did..............

You can flavor it with fruit or preserves; or use Za’atar, which makes a savory sort of dip for bread or other dippers.

(Also, Tzatziki is made with yogurt, and tastes really nice with pita or naan, or as a side/sauce with meat.)

People have the idea that the French diet is unhealthy - all that butter and cream. But if you study French cooking, it’s actually very healthy, relying on simple, natural foods put together beautifully. This gentleman does very nice French cooking videos:

She seems to have lived a very full life with lots of interests - I think that accounts for a lot, too.

* Blood analysis revealed efficient fat metabolism: very low triglycerides and high HDL cholesterol, patterns linked to heart and brain health.

Give him a shot of cholesterol!

Trader Joe’s had some great yogurt which was replaced with an organic label. I quit buying it; they should have let well enough be but they screwed everything up. Same with their sourdough baguettes. They were formerly made by La Brea Bakery, now they are imported frozen from Canada—pure crap. I buy Karoun yogurt or make my own, unflavored is best.

HDL is the “good” cholesterol vs. LDL.
