We’ve been sold the idea that protein needs to come from expensive powders, trendy superfoods, or giant slabs of meat.

But some of the world’s longest-lived people have been getting plenty of protein from humble staples for generations: beans and rice, corn tortillas and beans, tofu, mung beans.

The lesson isn’t to obsess over protein. It’s to build your diet around simple, affordable, fiber-rich foods—and learn to make them taste so good you’ll want to eat them every day.

That’s a longevity strategy you can actually stick with.
