• Okinawa, Japan: Red Miso Soup with Spinach and Tofu
• Nicoya, Costa Rica: Yuca Cakes
• Ikaria, Greece: Baked Rosemary Chickpeas with Onion and Lemon

• Add cruciferous veggies: Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can protect the heart, stave off cancer, and prevent oxidative stress.
• Beans are the main story: A versatile source of protein that’s healthier than meat or eggs.
• Your gut loves fiber: The healthy bacteria in your gut feeds off healthy fiber.
