Chocolate, wine, and a long, healthy life—it sounds like a toast, not a diet. But The Bonus Years Diet, claims that downing just the right amount of seven "bonus foods" can stave off heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.
The Bonus Years plan outlines 30 days of menus that deliver just the right amount of the bonus ingredients alongside other healthy ingredients like flaxseed and whole grains. Recipes include dishes like penne with turkey sausage and sun-dried tomato wine sauce, duck breasts with port and fig sauce, and Szechuan braised chicken thighs.
