5 Natural Ingredients For Longevity

Image
The path of aging can be viewed as a bothersome, inevitable part of life to some.  Those invested in the journey  often look to various methods of biohacking as a way to lengthen what can be considered a short life  span.  The average life  expectancy for women is 80 years old and 74 years old for men.  Living to 100  years old may seem inconceivable but the reality is that there are individuals living past 100 years old.   According to the Pew Research Center, our global world is home to 722,000 centenarians most of whom  live in Asian countries such as Japan and China (Schaeffer, 2024).   The number of centenarians currently living is expected to quadruple  over the next 30 years.

Tomato Free Ketchup (Recipe)

I created this tomato free ketchup for a client with a nightshade allergy. Nightshades are a family of plants that come from the capsicum and solanum families. Typical nightshade vegetables are tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and eggplant. Nightshade plants contain a poisonous substance called solanine. The fruit and vegetable of the plant are safe to eat. However, those with allergies to nightshades or certain nightshade fruits and vegetables must avoid them in their daily diet.

It's very tough to find tomato free foods. tomatoes are usually a base that is found in everything--from soups to sauces. you name it--tomatoes are probably in it. what happens when you have a tomato allergy buy still want to enjoy the taste of ketchup? this tomato free ketchup is suitable for all nightshade allergy sufferers. it's also suitable people who simply avoid tomatoes because of the inflammation that it induces. Yes, there are people who willingly avoid eating nightshades!

You don't have to go ketchup free if you're an allergy sufferer! you can still enjoy a taste similar to ketchup. After taste testing it myself, i found the ketchup to be a fairly okay tomato free substitute. Still savory and zesty, it worked well with foods where regular ketchup would be the desired choice.
