Gray hair and wrinkles can be a testimony of wisdom. But in a stressful world we often get caught up in equating our worth with productivity that could weigh on us post-retirement. Everyone, at every stage of life is a gift to the world. That said, aging does bring preventable and costly health challenges that we need to face squarely, from heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, arthritis, dry skin, falling hair, cognitive decline, stroke and cancer. There is also the possibility of depletion, loneliness and ageism. So, how can we look after ourselves better to ensure we are physically and mentally stronger as we age?

Introduction
This is a very popular drink/soup in Egypt.You can have it as soup but it's really drunken with a straw and/or spoon from a cup :).
Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 500 grams of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) (or canned, but fresh tastes better)
Garlic, 5 cloves
1 medium onion
Lemon Juice, 50 mL
3 medium tomatoes
Tomato Paste, 0.2 cup
Lemon juice, 100 mL
1-2 tbsp cummin (key ingredient!)
Salt, 2 tsp
Directions
Soak half a kilo (500 grams) of chickpeas overnight in water (three inches above).Drain the water when it's done soaking and put it in a decent sized pan. Then add about 1 litre and a half or water or so that it's 3-4 inches above chickpeas.
Bring the beans to a boil and leave it like that for about 30 minutes, then add more water if its not all the way done then cover it and let it simmer on low heat. It's done when there's no or little white color in the middle of the chickpea (take one out and slice it in half).
When the chickpeas are done or even half done, add the diced tomatoes, paste, minced garlic, chopped onion, salt, cumin and lemon juice.
Serve in a cup with one part chickpeas and 2 parts soup.
Add some red hot pepper (dried) if you want a little spice in your hummus drink :). Enjoy!
This amount should last you a couple of days (depending on how many people are drinking this!). It tastes even better the next day when warmed up (best when hot).
