100 Year-Old Nutrition Professor: 7 Keys to a Long Life | Dr. John Scharffenberg 

Michelle Cen, Please forgive me but your laughter and smiles are more beautiful than those of Dr. Scharffenberg. Great interview!

@@johndoe9362 Cmon dude

We should get Dr. Sharffenberg and Nick Offerman in a room and make them laugh. It would be a chorus of giggles

@@fahrenheigh Yes how dare he compliment someone

His laugh is full of fun, very nice interview ty.

But can he lift 50#, 30 times a day , 5 days a week...without straining??? Meat is what strengthens the body for work like farming, carpentry, and hanging on a cross. You don't hang by your wrists and toes without enormous body strength.

​@bethwalters1772 Your comment is full of nonsense, I'm afraid

Humans will live forever after death. This life is temporary. True life is the life after death. Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in hereafter life. God Almighty says, “Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose) and that you would not be brought back to Us?” (Quran 23:115) From above verse, we can conclude, we were indeed created for a purpose beyond that of simply play and enjoyment in this life. We have the purpose of life that we should know and have to live life according to that purpose. God almighty describes purpose of this life, I have not created the jinn and the men except for this that they should worship Me. I do not ask any sustenance of them, nor do I ask them to feed Me. Allah Himself is the Sustainer, Possessor of power and might. Quran 51 (56-58) From the ayah, it is clear that the creation of humans, as well as jinns, is for the purpose of worshiping Allah Almighty. We believe that there is only One Creator Who created us and we acknowledged Him, we all know that He created us (humankind) to serve Him. There is a reason behind the creation of this world and humankind. If you worship Allah then it's for your own benifit. Because we don't have that much power. Allah sustains us. He feed every single creature on the face of the earth. We all are dependent on Him. God almighty says, We have not created the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them merely in sport: We have created them with the truth, but most of them do not know. For the resurrection of them all, the appointed time is the Day of Decision. Qur'an 44 (38:40) The day of Decision means the day of Judgment when Allah almighty will gather all Mankind starting from First to the last. Allah almighty will resurrect them which means Allah will give us life after death. And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his final revelation Qur'an then we will be given eternal life in Paradise. Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Hell or Paradise depending upon the good deeds.Hereafter life is true life we all should work for that life not for that which is temporary. The people of Paradise will visit one another, recognise one another and meet one another in the Gardens of delights. This is part of the perfect delight of the people of Paradise. There is nothing to prevent someone of a lower status in Paradise from visiting one who is above him, as also happens in this world. God almighty speaks about life after death, As regards those, who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them into Gardens underneath which canals flow, wherein they will abide for ever. This promise of Allah is true and who can be truer in his word than Allah? Qur'an 4 (122)

@@CuriousCat0347 Beth, trolls are an unhealthy group as we recognize, and you're wading deep into that style of murk. Or do you consider it 'humor'. Get help.

Yes, he is a wonder!

many vegans, many meat eaters, and many smokers are just like that too.

Yep, despels that whole idea, we have to get old and wither. We just have to take better care of ourselves 🍎

Thank you ♥

100% agree, I think it is not easy to talk to a huge personality, she was so respectful and sweet as well as the other interviewer. Good job

❤

Although I wouldn't say hell was very sharp........

it's sharp enough

Honestly, he’s sharp as hell for pretty much any age. What a legend

@@bensuperdetka Agreed! 😀

Sounds very sharp to me! He's in superb health!

THIS is a very good point! Got to have the will power!

Very true

That sure is a good reason to live. Ive seen several cases already where people retired and only then, they began to decline rapidly because they were lacking purpose and something to do. Curiosity and purpose are important

And joy! he laughs all the time

Yeah, this curiosity keeped him far from the bad habbits 😅

Meat not bad depends how you cook it and eat moderation. Meat is good source of protein. Sugar is very bad.

I agree, these points are not my opinion but just a recapitulation of the video @@Bitcoin_Gold

​@@Bitcoin_Gold Maybe, consider the source of the meats and what kind it is, in the first place. For instance, eating swine or ceratin seafood, such as shrimp, catfish and lobster and other toxic meats. Even too much beef. I prefer, not to consume these particular foods.

you can get rid of high bp and high cholesterol easily just take VitD3 10,000 iu/day minimum. solved my hubbys decades of high bp in 48 hrs!

@@Bitcoin_Gold Some meats are bad and very toxic and unclean. Doesn't matter how you cook certain meats! It is, what it is.

Bless you for the lifesaving work you do!

Thank you, much obliged. That’s awfully kind of you 🙏

Okay, Mr Cardiac Surgeon, but what are the underlying causes?

indeed, Mr Cardiac Surgeon, should i leave my beer, wine, wisky and just drink water instead?

As a cardiac surgeon, I sure hope you are educating your patients, your peers, your employer, and anyone else whose path you cross about lifestyle "musts" to have a healthy heart (as well as other parts!)! If you're NOT doing that, you are selling out your patients. I hope you're doing the right thing.

Alot of poeple cant even walk or talk at 80 and probably have dementia

I kept wondering if he was getting stiff and tired of sitting on a wooden bench… nope! And he showed no struggle when getting up and walking around afterward!

Exactly

My mom is 101 and she's barely able to do anything at all. She needs round the clock care. But she sure lived a long life.

Thanks .GOD BLESS YOU ❤

My grandma is 97, lives by herself in her house. As I live abroad, we talk on the phone. We spend easily 2 to 3 hours. She mainly talks and I listen, because she likes to talk about the old times, her childhood before the war, then during the war, then after the war when she met my grandpa, etc…. We also talk about cooking recipes, what we watch on tv, the family, the neighbors, etc….

Thanks for this beautiful summary 💖

Astute observation. So true!

That's right!

Also his Seven Day Adventist beliefs and community. Read Ellen's Whites Book The Ministry of Healing. He has devoted himself to God and thought of other people more than himself.. he was born in Shanghai.What were his parents doing there?

⁠@@michelle_cen Great interview Michelle.Insightful and interesting.Years ago I read a 25 year study byDrs on Okinawa,which had the largest amount of Centenarians in the world.Great man .Thank you -Gareth Morris.

I can't do that at the age of 31. 😢

❤❤❤thanks so much. Please bottle up and sell his laughter, it’s priceless. ❤🎉😂

Can't do it and I'm 22

Thank you, that means a lot ❤

I bet he would love to hear from you. Older people usually love to talk to people

This is so good to hear❤

Hi, do you have his waffle recipe?

Oh, that's so wonderful❤

Great respect of our elders🙏 Would love the waffle recipe?

Thank you Chuck Norris for synopsis. And thank you Michelle Cen for being a great interviewer, asking interesting questions and not interrupting. 0:54

Thank you for generously taking the time to capture and share all what was said!!! Very helpful !!!

Thanks!! :) :)

Meat is only an issue when it's fed crap, and filled with antibiotics and other drugs. If it really was an issue, humanity would have died out a very long time ago! Always choose grass fed meat, and organic or biodynamic food.

Thank you so much

The problem is there is not enough doctors who think like him now. All are taught to administer pills in most cases.

God bless you too dear,I love your testimony

Truly wholesome without all the ego. Refreshing. No virtue signaling just walking the walk.

Indeed ! A true blessing to mankind.

True He doesn't have Alzheimer's

Original Sin means 100% of all humans are 100% guilty of 100% of all cannibalism Jeffrey Dahmer-ism Dr. Frankenstein-ism Adolf Hitlerism joint amputations diagnoses and treatment there's no such entity as hypertension or high cholesterol or dementia or Alzheimer's or bunions or neuroscientists or doctors were role-playing hiding the fact that we are what we are in our history reveals what we do which is pedophilia hate rape child abuse cannibalism baby killing abortions abandonment living children cook to death in hot cars during the summertime and freeze to death doing the winter time because mom's gotta go do blowjobs. To make money that don't exist. Yet moms and dads insist money rules the world makes the world go round. Nope the world goes around all by itself no human intervention. I am a self-appointed child protector I am attempting to get children off the bottom of the food chain and thanks to Adolf Hitler shutting down hospitals literally slaughterhouses children are being poisoned body parts harvested to be reprocessed into Viagra Cialis DDT plutonium methamphetamine crack cocaine artificial joints silicone breasts silicone butts so what it means to be human is how we decide to replicate clone each other: Masturbate procreate versus rape procreate is the question.

Dude….Japanese people live to be One-Hundred.

I am over 70, female, healthy and happy, still working as interpreter freelance, I am a student of holistic health and nutrition and I love life, am very keen to live a long HEALTHY life. I am curious to learn a lot more and finally have time to ponder the great questions ;-). I agree with all the good doctor says, he has the right mindset and a positive, generous attitude, I only would like to add: yes, the doctors rarely have time to ask about lifestyle, mental health, nutrition these days ...I thought with what I am studying I could encourage people of my age and the young just as well to take charge of their lives, all the points mentioned plus not to forget: community and purpose, self-efficacy, courage, curiosity, empathy. However I realise that many men and women of all ages expect the doctors and the pharmacy to provide the quick fix. The knowledge and information can be found .. but has to be applied.

IT IS luck.

Was she blood type 0?

When was she born or rather how much of her life did she live after the 80s? How much processed food? The current thinking is that the Standard American Diet has changed health dramatically to the negative.

I agree, my mom is 102 next month, she never ate veggies or anything green. She ate fried food, McDonald’s !, & snacked on cookies, muffins, cream puffs, chips, bagged salty snacks … she walked everywhere … but never exercised. She didn’t even go to the garden , she sat & watched TV . Also no high blood pressure , no medications ! She didn’t worry about anything either , total narcissistic

@@Moms1958 Happy Birthday to your mom!!! 102 is amazing! What do you see as some of the contributions to her longevity?

Finally I'm validated!! I'm 80.

@@PaparoxxI’m almost 82! Drive and play water volleyball, do volunteer work and love life and my dog & cat!

Yeah, imagine if our 80 year old Presidents and political representatives had nearly as much cognitive ability as this 100 year old man. Or half the compassion.

I am form Poland shear his vegeterian style since 12 years. I keep away from orthodokse medicie mostly because its fraud build on Big Pharmacutical Crime genocide I.

Wouldn't that be amazing! You could learn so much. Love this idea.

Everyone's dream dear, come join me I do go for a walk every day or I skip rope

He's sharp yet he doesn't take algal DHA/EPA supplements? He said he only takes vitamins B12 and D.

​@@moondog7694Because he eats dairy and eggs. He should eat fish too.

It's all a crap shoot.

Me too!!! He's adorable! 🥰

If this generation is poisoned with bad food and toxins... doesnt mean its something super extraordinaire... My grandfather also lived til 96, who lived thru ww2 winter war, siberian gulags @ -40c in pyjamaz for 2 weeks etc.. buried 4 wives , and solo raised my dad ettc... our generation is just losers... we supposed to be version 3.0 of our gene pool as males... but our fathers wqere better than us ,and its embarrasing to even compare ourselves to our grandfathers.... i thinks thats why there's so much hedonism and nihilism in society as well... inferiority complex subconciously... well the generations go in circles... we are approaching Crisis era again,

You dont have to be him. Just make 1 change and you will be in a better place.

Thks for the encouragement... Im 70 & just decided to start with a personal trainer.

@@philippabowles4323 People your age and above see the most benefits from weight training in terms of muscle mass than any other age group! Just keep the weights low and only increase as you see fit. I worked out as a vegan and saw the biggest gains of my life.

Absolutely!

So true I totally agree with you they should know about nutrition and apply to the patients

It's called the Medical Industry for a reason.

Well we have dietitian, don't we? That's why health practitioners must work together as a team.

Life long learning is so important. Glad you called that out.

Thank you!

istening to this guy is pure joy.

Wow grass & the Grace of God

Jane Johnstone what was your father’s diet and lifestyle occupation ??

That might be my favorite sentence in this whole interview ❤

Yes, in addition to their healthy diet, they have something that is an important aspect to health but sometimes left out of the conversation, which is FELLOWSHIP!.

Amazing interview

yes he is xxx

He isn't an MD, he's a dietician. He probably has a PhD since he taught at the University level.

@@annemccarron2281actually, he does hold an MD as well as an MPH degree.

55:29 in vid, he's an M.D. (published multiple time). I'm guessing you didn't get that far in vid.... @@annemccarron2281​

Good memories

That was the thing that got to me most: his infectious positivity. 👏

If you try and have meat now does your pain flare back up. I found out that's not the case for me. I had extremely bad knee pains so I eliminated sugars and processed carbs and I'm doing fine now. No pains and I still eat fish, eggs and beef.

@@Nikkattsu The elimination of pains are one thing, but the benefits of going all in on plant based is: 1) Reduction of all cause mortality 2) Mitigation of animal cruelty 3) Much better for our planet

@CristinaAcosta i wish it had an effect on my joint pain, because yes, being an artist with sore hands is murder, but everything else HAS improved. (blood pressure, cholesterol, overall energy and mood, plus no longer overweight)

@@PlantChompers Chris, in January 2022 I asked you in the comments whether you knew of any second generation and beyond life long vegans, and you replied with the following: "As for the question of multi-generation vegans from birth, I don't have examples so I have an email into Hans Diehl of Loma Linda University (Seventh Day Adventist) to see if he knows." I'm still waiting for a list of names, Chris. BTW, our good doctor is not vegan, and has never been vegan.

tell me more about this smoking plan , please

Shirt and tie!

My grandpa smoked 100 cigs a day and drank booze like there was no tomorrow. He was siring children in his early 70s, travelling the world with his mistress and generally raising hell. He ate whatever he wanted, kept his mind active with debates and chess, and was surfing on the day he died at 80. That was in 1942, when a man's average life expectancy was 60.

What should people eat? Eat at the proper time. That means no snacking. Eat as a proper time. A variety - not all. at one meal. You get too fat that way. But over a ten day period to make sure you get all the nutrients you should have. Eat a variety of different food. So eat a variety of natural non processed foods in quantities for ideal weight.
