The secret to a longer, healthier life could start at the breakfast table.

Dr. Mitch Ghen, a Boca Raton, Florida-based physician who has practiced functional medicine for more than 45 years, told Fox News Digital there are three foods and drinks he regularly consumes himself to support healthy aging: coffee, cacao and raw honey.

“I think these foods make a massive difference,” Ghen said, adding that he incorporates them into his daily routine.

Ghen said he starts his mornings with coffee mixed with 100% cacao, while also consuming raw, unfiltered honey during the day.

Ghen puts coffee at the top of his longevity list, pointing to research that has associated coffee consumption with potential health benefits.

“The studies suggest somewhere the sweet spot for coffee and longevity is between three and four cups a day,” he said.

Ghen said he believes coffee can provide cardiovascular and immune benefits, in addition to the familiar boost in alertness.

He personally opts for organic coffee and drinks it as part of his morning routine.

Ghen gives his morning coffee an extra boost by adding 100% cacao that is high in polyphenols.
