Jane’s Buddha Bowl
Jane DayJane Day is co-author with Dr. John Day of "The Longevity Plan," documenting their journey to China's Longevity Village. "Preparing food for guests has always been a stressful thing - feeling inadequate and fearing that the dishes wouldn't turn out. Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same." |

Where can I find the liquid aminos? I see they are used in most of your recipes. I have ordered your book today. People’s Pharmacy was awesome today with you all.
Hi Mary,
Yes, we love “liquid aminos.” We buy ours through Trader Joes. If you don’t have a Trader Joes store near you, you can also buy them online through Amazon. Here is a link to see it on Amazon:

Hope this helps!

Dr. Day and Mrs. Day,
After watching the clip of your trip to China and all those seniors who were over 100 I was very excited about their way of life and nutrition. I read your article about NMN but think I would stick to the foods that will create the same formula in my body. Next week I plan on purchasing your book and look forward to reading it. When did you learn how to speak Chinese? That is not an easy language to learn. This weekend I am going to try the Buddha Bowl and am looking forward to serving it to my family. I love your posts each week. They give me such an uplift. You two are the best.
