Imagine a simple drink that not only tastes refreshing but also offers remarkable anti-aging benefits. Inspired by a 107-year-old who swears by this daily ritual, this carrot-based beverage is packed with nutrients essential for longevity and vitality. Here’s how to prepare this anti-aging carrot drink that can be a delightful addition to your daily routine.
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 1 small piece of ginger (about 1 inch)
- 1 apple (optional, for added sweetness and flavor)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- A pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil (for healthy fats)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the carrots and apple thoroughly. Peel the ginger. If you prefer a smoother juice, you can also peel the carrots and apple.
Juicing
Use a juicer to extract the juice from the carrots, apple, and ginger. If you don’t have a juicer, you can chop these ingredients and blend them with a little water, then strain the mixture to obtain the juice.
Enhance the Flavors and Nutrients
Pour the freshly extracted juice into a large glass. Add the lemon juice, turmeric powder, and a pinch of black pepper. These ingredients not only enhance the flavor but also increase the drink’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Add Healthy Fats
Stir in a tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil. This not only adds a smooth texture but also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Mix Well
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
Serve Fresh
Drink immediately to enjoy the maximum health benefits. Fresh juice can lose its potent nutrients if stored for too long.

This drink not only aims to keep you looking youthful but supports your overall health, enhancing your quality of life as you age. Making this part of your daily routine could contribute to a longer and healthier life, much like the centenarian who inspired it. Cheers to good health and longevity!
CBS Mornings’ Gayle King, 69, makes debut as cover girl for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
Once she decided to go through with the photoshoot she set a few ground rules. She wasn’t going to starve herself and she didn’t want any retouching of her photos, except for “a few dimples on her thighs.”
“My grandmother said to me [when I was little], ‘Mother nature was not as kind to you as she was to other little girls. Maybe you need to start wearing makeup.’ I just never saw myself this way.”
She added, “I know what I look like before I go into hair and makeup, so it’s hard for me to go from that to [the cover]. That’s something I have to process myself.”
King had nothing to worry about.

When she arrived at the photo shoot in Mexico, she said photographer Yu Tsai made her feel like “Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry all rolled into one.”
“I felt so comfortable and cared for that I didn’t even have time to feel self-conscious.”

“I never in a million years thought I would be standing here in a bathing suit for Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit], but here I am, which says to me that sometimes people can dream, God can dream, the universe can dream a bigger dream than you can ever think for yourself,” King told Sports

Illustrated. “I would have never thought this was possible. This was nowhere on my bucket list. So I’m thinking maybe it was a dream that I didn’t even know I wanted because now that I’m here, I want it bad.”

Gayle looks amazing! I think it’s wonderful how Sports Illustrated showcases all different ages, body types, and races in their issue. We’re not all the same, and everyone deserves to be represented.
