What if your next bite could be the one that adds a year to your life? What if the secret to living to 100 isn’t buried in some distant lab or wrapped in complicated medical jargon — but scattered in ancient traditions, humble kitchen tables, sea-sprayed fishing boats, and stories your great-grandmother might’ve told if you’d asked her?

Eat for 100: The Foods and Habits That Help You Live Longer is not your typical health book. This isn’t a checklist of forbidden snacks and trendy diets you’ll abandon by next week. It’s a wildly curious, sometimes quirky, and deeply human exploration of how ordinary people in extraordinary corners of the world have quietly cracked the code for long, meaningful, joy-filled lives.

Julianna Cubbage invites you to pull up a chair at tables from Sardinia to Okinawa, dive into age-old Mediterranean fishing rituals, peek inside Blue Zone kitchens, and question everything you thought you knew about health. This book blends the warmth of a conversation with your favorite aunt, the edge of a rebel scientist, and the wisdom of people who’ve lived long enough to tell you what actually matters.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

• Centuries-old food rituals that defy modern trends and deliver astonishing health benefits
• Forgotten ingredients and habits that science is now scrambling to explain
• Eye-opening stories from people who have transformed their health not through perfection, but through small, soulful changes
• The unexpected truth about how your relationships, environment, and tiny daily choices shape not just your years, but the quality of them

This isn’t about chasing eternal youth. It’s about savoring the years you have, adding more of them, and making every one of them count. It’s about eating like you mean it, laughing a little more, walking in the sun, and turning dinner back into a sacred ritual instead of a mindless routine.
