In this twist, the filling includes collard greens and baby spinach mixed with quinoa and cheese, and bell peppers replace the usual phyllo wrapper. The result is a healthier spin on the classic that's just as flavorful. This is a nutritionally complete meal since you'll get protein from the quinoa and cheeses |

5 habits to borrow from people who've lived to 100 |
More than two decades ago, researcher Dan Buettner identified five places around the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives. These places became known as the Blue Zones, and studying how people live there uncovers some lifestyle habits that may lead to their success. "Only about 20% of how long you live is dictated by your genes. The other 80% is something else, and a lot of what produces healthy longevity surprises people. People in the Blue Zones are achieving an extra 10 years without disease, and it costs them nothing. Their journey to a healthy age 100 is joyous," Buettner tells TODAY.com. "In fact, there's about an 80% overlap where what drives longevity also drives happiness." So what exactly are the lifestyle habits of those who live long, healthy and happy lives? Buettner boils it down to five essential tips. 5 simple habits that lead to a long, happy life. |
