A doctor of Chinese medicine who studied the lives and eating habits of centenarians explains in his new book that vegetarians (and even semi-vegetarians) had fewer degenerative diseases and cancers than those who ate meat every day.
The book has hundreds of other tips divided into 6 chapters: What you eat, How you heal, Where you are, What you do, Who you are, and Bringing it all together. It’s an interesting look at the similarities in lifestyle and eating habits between people who live to be a hundred.

Comfort Food
What is comfort food? The best description I can come up with is warm, soft, and easy to prepare, but that doesn’t work for everyone. My comfort foods are mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, both of which I crave when I’m sick or depressed. What are your comfort foods and when do you eat them?
Hummus Variations
I put together this list of hummus variations and I’d love to know if you can think of any others. I’m not really looking for completely different recipes (although I might do a separate list of those); just ideas for one or two additions that make a big difference.
I hate cilantro!
You know, I really thought I was alone in this, and then I was fortunate enough to spot this link: http://www.ihatecilantro.com. Now that I’ve seen it, it makes perfect sense, as my dislike of this foul-tasting herb can’t possibly be unique, but it’s nice to know that there’s a whole community of like-minded people.
