I just want to say thank you so much for your channel. I have recently discovered the Blue Zones and I was disappointed to find a lot of RU-vid channels about this lifestyle are quite vague. Yours is the first channel where I've felt the person was truly dedicated to educating us and helping us really attain longevity. Thank you so much for making those products available to those outside Japan also. I will be looking at your website and may grab some stuff!
@@ellaeadig263 thank you so much, I truly appreciate this comment. I’m trying my best to get info out there…it’s difficult but I’ll keep trying :) I am always trying to be a voice for the Okinawans to convey their lifestyle truthfully and authentically.
This is all very easy. Go to the countries and see how many fat people there are in japan, especially okinawa -- almost none. Theyre all slim. Go to a mediteraean country like greece, lots of heavy set people. Same in italy, lots of heavy set people as well. YOu decide. This mediteraean diet is bogus
Hi Crystal First thank you for your videos and the information you share. I was buying this same brand of fucoidan on Amazon. It was fast shipping and a great price. Now it’s saying it’s out of stock and may not be restocked. Did something happen? I have no issues with buying from the website but the shipping is almost half the price of the order.
@@EBEEZYCL thank you for your support 😊 shipping is free fucoidan on the haitailife.com site now! The supplement is in the Amazon warehouse but just taking a while to get registered online again
Maybe put the words you're using in the heading. You speak so fast, I can't understand what you're saying. The captions can't even keep up with you. Grrrr...
Diet does matter, but not in the way people think. Too many people think they need to eat certain ingredients in an exact way or they wont live a long time, but that is not the case nor sustainable long term! It is important to eat clean, healthy, nutritional food...but hara hachi bu and a good social life are just as important. My point is is that most people hardly ask about factors other than food.
This is answer in conjunction with your other question about the importance of food. Do not worry about portion size too much, just eat sweet potatoes when you can in a way that you can sustain long term. The diet consisted mostly of sweet potatoes, almost 80%. But that is hard to do in this day and age. There are many things you can do to better your health, don't think it is only food :)
Thanks! Looking at the stream, you can clearly tell I am sick, but after doing the live I feel better :) I am happy I got to answer questions from viewers.
@@christal.haitai I think everyone was feeling good after the stream, you had me laughing and smiling through out it. Just what the Dr ordered? Huge Hugs!!
Thank you for your video. I recently found frozen mozuku in Australian Japanese supermarket. Is eating the actual seaweed better than a supplement? Or should I go for a supplement as it might be more potent?
That is so cool you found mozuku in the supermarket! Can I ask which supermarket? The supplement is more potent, but eating the seaweed is healthy, too, of course, and I highly recommend it. To get the benefits of one fucoidan supplement from raw mozuku, you would need to eat pounds and pounds of it though.
I am so glad I can just go to almost any grocery store here in Okinawa and pick up almost any variation of seaweed, or find it occasionally on the beach. I would think those false capsules would leave you feeling like waiting, waiting, and allot more of waiting till you know it was just a dud.
You have a lot of healthy resources at your tips so no excuses! But actually, in the case of fucoidan, a real fucoidan capsule contains a highly concentrated amount of fucoidan in it compared to raw mozuku seaweed. To really get the benefits, it's best to consume the supplement or concentrated fucoidan drink. One fucoidan capsule is the equivalent of eating a ton of mozuku seaweed at once!
Good video. *helps increase SIRT6 which in turn repairs your DNA *Increases BDNF *It is considered an anticoagulants so people on blood thinners should probably be a little more careful with doses
Okay,here you go. BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a protein crucial for brain development, function, and plasticity. It plays a significant role in: . Neurogenesis: The growth and development of new neurons. . Synaptogenesis: The formation of new synapses between neurons • Synaptic plasticity: The ability of synapses to change and adapt in response to experience • Neuroplasticity: The brain's ability to reorganize itself in response to experience or injury. BDNF levels are influenced by various factors, including:. Exercise: Regular physical activity can increase BDNF levels. • Diet: Certain foods, such as blueberries and omega-3 fatty acids, may support BDNF production. • Stress: Chronic stress can reduce BDNF levels. •Sleep: Adequate sleep is essential for maintaining healthy BDNF levels • Age: BDNF levels naturally decline with age. BDNF is involved in many brain functions, including: • Learning and memory: BDNF is essential for the formation and consolidation of memories .Mood regulation: BDNF plays a role in mood disorders like depression and anxiety. • Cognitive function: BDNF is important for cognitive abilities like attention, problem-solving, and decision-making. Dysregulation of BDNF has been implicated in various brain disorders, including: • Neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease . Mental health disorders: Depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. • Neurodevelopmental disorders: Autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Researchers are exploring ways to boost BDNF levels as potential treatments for these conditions. While more research is needed, targeting BDNF may offer new avenues for improving brain health and treating neurological disorders.
I'll do a special tour for you someday if you want! Yes, that's where your fucoidan supplement comes from 😊 it's a creepy, slimy looking seaweed but holds the highest, purest amount of fucoidan more than any other seaweed.
I enjoy seeing the interviews you do. I have been here in Okinawa for quite a bit and my diet has been half of Okinawan goodness, and half of US style rubbish. Really has been making me think of what it is I am stuffing my face with. Your always showing your guests the upmost respect, totally ❤ that for longevity.
Hi! Did you go to Japanese language school or your 4th year was just school in Japan? I’m thinking about going to Japanese language school and would love to know your advice on that. Since you’re so familiar with Okinawa, do you think language school is worth it? I lived in Okinawa, but due to various reasons, never properly learned the language. However, I want to move back permanently. Anywho, if you have time and knowledge to share some advice on self-study versus language school, I’d appreciate it!! Hope you’re doing well and enjoying your time in Okinawa 😊
Haitai! my 4th year was just school in Japan. I have never attended language school but I highly recommend going to language school or university in Japan to get a hold of the language and establish yourself here. Self-study is fine, too, but only if you are disciplined! I self studied, went to school, and surrounded myself in a Japanese speaking environment constantly. It is tough but you can do it :)
@@christal.haitai my mother's parents came from Okinawa in the early 20th century to Hawaii. Fresh pork, beef, and home grown chicken was always on the menu. Also, my grandfather had a raised bed garden in the back yard where he always picked the produce that was served daily. Their diet was always a mixture of meats with garden vegetables, rice and miso soup. What was served at home was never processed.
I have enjoyed this drink a few times here in Okinawa and never knew it was actually a healthy drink. Hopefully Christal will upload how to turn your rice cooker into a still. !cheers and huge hugs!
I just learned about fucoidan via hearing about dulse while on a tour in Northern Ireland and the guide mentioned people using dulse to treat psoriasis. When I googled that, I found a study on fucoidan reducing psoriasis symptoms in mice, but when I searched for supplements, yeah, everything was insanely expensive and the "rare seaweed only found in Okinawa" thing seems to be the main selling point/reason for cost. I see you are also relying on mozuku for your supplement, but because I got here by learning about Irish seaweed, I'm curious why dulse isn't a candidate for extraction? Obviously I don't know anything about what extracting fucoidan from seaweed even looks like lol, that would be an interesting video to learn about the process and maybe offer a more thorough explanation of why mozuku is really the best/only option for making supplements from.
Seaweeds like dulse and kombu are very hard and tough whereas mozuku is very soft. This means the cell walls are easier to break and extract pure fucoidan from with no other impurities mixed in. Video on that exact topic coming soon actually 😊
Oh SOOO many kinds of teas! Goya bitter melon tea, kumisukuchin tea, jasmine (sanpin) tea, long life herb tea, hibiscus tea, guava tea, the list goes on and onnnn
It really depends on the potato size, but if its a very large potato, just one. Or 2 medium sized ones, or 3 small ones. This is what I recommend but others may have varying suggestions :)
Thanks for another great video... and just when I was thinking about how stressed out I am. Those of us still stuck in America are mostly stressed about our jobs. So, how do centenarians in Okinawa support themselves?
Thank you! I still get stressed myself, I understand. Do you mean job wise? Currently the elder Okinawans work jobs they know and love (while also collecting pension). Many run small bars, fish, farm, etc. All very simple but enjoyable where they can interact with friends.
