Eat to Beat Disease author Dr William Li says his trail mix helps promote a healthy gut while boosting immunity and helping to slow down aging.

"Research has shown that people who eat more nuts and seeds have longer telomeres, which means that eating nuts can slow down our cellular aging. We want to slow down our aging," Dr. Li tells Rach. "Nuts [also] have a lot of fiber which activates our healthy gut bacteria, which boosts our immune system."

The cranberries in the trail mix also add antioxidants to the recipe, the doctor says.
