  The secret to living a long and healthy life may be hidden in regional diets. Dan Buettner has traveled all over the world looking for places where people live the longest, calling these areas "Blue Zones."
Minestrone soup from Sardinia, Italy, is part of his cookbook, "The Blue Zones Kitchen: 100 Recipes to Live to 100." Traditionally, this soup is made with whatever is growing in the garden, but it always includes beans. This version requires a longer cooking time, which melds the flavors and enhances the bioavailability of more nutrients, such as the lycopene in tomatoes, and carotenoids and other antioxidants.
