Coconut & Lime Beef Curry
Blue Zones offered hope as real-life fountains of youth – new research says they can be explained by comically flawed data
With a single kettlebell complete:
70 sumo deadlift high-pulls
60 swings
50 squats (with the KB)
40 push presses
30 Turkish Get-ups
Beef simmered to tender in a fragrant blend of coconut milk, red curry paste, and fresh lime juice, balanced with the warmth of ginger, turmeric, and chili flakes.
Five regions of the planet were claimed to hold the key to living past 100. Research by Dr. Saul Newman of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing shows the truth isn’t that simple.
Today's workout is from MetFix Misfit Gym in Windham, Maine.
"This is my kettlebell. There are many like it, but this one is mine."
— Matthew Sherburne, MetFix Misfit Gym
Coach Sherburne emphasizes the volume of reps here, 250 total, and cautions athletes to choose a kettlebell wisely, aiming to finish in less than 25 minutes (10 reps / minute.)
Choose a kettlebell that you can do all the movements with. If it’s too heavy for one of the exercises, get a smaller one, and let it be light for the other movements.
At most, men should be using a 53-lb. kettlebell, and women a 35-lb.

Preparation
Cook the beef by heating coconut oil (1 Tbsp) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef (6 oz) and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté aromatics by adding diced onion (½), garlic (1 clove), and ginger (1 Tbsp) to the same skillet. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
Add vegetables and curry paste by stirring in red bell pepper (½), red curry paste (1 Tbsp), and turmeric (¼ tsp). Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combine and simmer by returning the beef to the skillet. Pour in coconut milk (¼ cup), beef broth (½ cup), and lime juice (½). Stir well, bring to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
Serve by seasoning with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro (¼ cup) before serving.

Five regions of the planet were claimed to hold the key to living past 100. Research by Dr. Saul Newman of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing shows the truth isn’t that simple.
“Newman says that when he looked into the claims about Blue Zones he found a pattern of significant data being routinely ignored if it didn’t fit the desired narrative, and statistical anomalies that could be better explained by administrative errors or cases of pension fraud.”
