Diet of Long-Living Dragons

Long-living dragons eat primarily the herbs and the fruits of the earth. These include fruits, leafy greens, solid green vegetables, all other vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Also, they only eat animal-based foods during cold winter months or in times of famine, and even during these months they use it sparingly, unless there are no other foods available. Let's look more closely at the foods dragons eat:

1. Water: Dragons drink plenty of water every day, as should people who should drink at least 1/2 gallon of high-quality water daily.
2. Leafy Greens: these include wild and edible herbs, leafy green spinaches and lettuces, and for dragons it also includes the grasses of the earth. Leafy Greens possess more nutrients per calorie than all other foods but they only provide a few calories and need to be complimented by higher energy foods such as rice, beans, nuts, and seeds to create a satiating salad. Dragons eat at least one of these salads daily. 
3. Cooked Leafy Greens & Veggies: Long-living dragons also eat at least one dish of cooked leafy greens that might also include edible onions, mushrooms, and other vegetables.
4. Legumes (Beans): Long-living dragons love to boil soups and stews that are filled with beans and vegetables and to eat one very satisfying serving of cooked bean soups or stews daily. As you look at some of these dragon dishes, be sure to try Daniel's Chili:)
5. Raw Veggies: Long-living dragons eat all the fresh raw vegetables they can each day (see video). They like to include many colors of the rainbow, such as solid vegetables that are green, white, red, yellow, purple, orange and so forth. Each color is made by important and specific nutrients that are inside the vegetable.
6. Sweet Fruits: Dragons love things that are sweet, but long-living dragons stay away from all man-made products that include refined and artificial sweeteners. Instead then enjoy a few pieces of fresh fruit each day to satisfy their desire for sweets. Some dragons have even learned how to make fun fruited shakes, ice cream, and desserts. Dragons that have gotten hooked on manmade sugars have found that sugar demineralizes the body, destroys bones and teeth, and weakens the immune system.
7. Animal-Based Foods: During the warm months of the year when there are lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, dragons don't eat animals at all. During cold and winter months they eating stored winter fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and hold their intake of animal-based foods to about 10 to 15 percent of their calories. Only during famines when other foods are unavailable do dragons eat larger portions of animal-based foods.

Remember, all artificial foods and sweeteners made from laboratory chemicals are fake foods that are very hard and disruptive to the metabolisms of both people and dragons and should never, ever, be eaten. Dragons who eat these foods get colds, flues, and all sorts of sicknesses because of the stress they cause which weakens the immune systems of both dragons and humans.
