Some of you don’t want to take 80 pills a day for a variety of reasons – not only the cost but also the time taken to organise it all – so, here are two recipes for longevity drinks that you can mix up yourself in bulk once a month or even less often. I weigh all of these ingredients into glass jars and just shake them to mix it all up.
These 18 supplements present an array of longevity benefits and are all things that taste quite acceptable. You can mix them into a smoothie or even your breakfast if you eat like something like I do.
The ingredients of each differ according to our needs at different times of day, and if you’re serious about living a long time and don’t want to have to keep reordering expensive retail products, buying all of these ingredients in bulk to make your own blends once a month could be a wise move as the stuff keeps for years in a cool dark place.
