The type of oils that are in there are very healthy.
There's omega-9, which is also known to activate sirtuins.
And again, if you have the right grower and this has been cold pressed, not too processed and stressed before harvesting, you'll have huge amounts of polyphenols as well.
I don't think drinking urine is longevity.
But yeah, on and off, I do take a teaspoon of olive oil in the morning and mix it with resveratrol, a polyphenol.
And there's a lot of evidence, not just molecular like me, but epidemiologically people that have a lot of olive oil in their diet tend to have low inflammation and less disease.
And we've got some nuts.
Yep, nuts are good for many reasons.
They're full of vitamins and minerals.
If there's a Brazil nut, you want to have one of those every day for the selenium, which is a very rare element in our food supply.
And there's a recent study just last month showing that a lack of selenium can be very deleterious.
So nuts are great as a snack.
Be careful they're full of calories, though.
So if you're trying to lose weight and you're not exercising a lot, don't overeat on the nuts.
And what, oh, my least favorite food, but nevertheless, I will eat them.
This is a Brussels sprout.
When I was a kid, Brussels sprouts tasted a lot worse, a lot bitter.
True.
Those are good because they have polyphenols, but there's also another molecule in them called sulforaphane.
It's actually the reason they taste terrible and smell terrible.
