Blue Zones: Secrets of a Long Life 

I’m from Sardinia and I agree 100% with what he said about the island . All the food is very good the cannonau is delicious 😋 everything in moderation , hopefully I reach 100+ years my grandma passed with 93 years of age. May God Bless you all

These blue zone people. They don’t know what they do to live so long. Most of them are peasants. They just do what they’ve done and there parents and grandparents have done for years. Ignorance is bliss. And contentment is a blessing.

My 100 y.o. neighbour was born in Ikaria, Greece. Irena turned 100 last November 2021. She has lived in Australia for the last 35 years. Irena does her own cooking, shopping and cleaning. Her father lived till his death at 107 on Ikaria. She has nephews who own a hotel in Ikaria, on the land that belonged to her father. Her father would have lived longer except, unfortunately was overcome by fumes from a lamp.

I live in Australia, after emigrating from the UK (England) 40 years ago. I am now 73 and have one question. I both countries you qualify for an aged pension at 65 years of age. How can we get the governments on side, to legislate against the actions of the supermarket giants, fast food outlets and food manufacturers, to provide guaranteed ‘healthy’ foods to cover even 50% of their saleable products, when it is in the government's interest for you to retire at 65 and be buried at 66 years of age? Living for a further 10 to 15 years longer is a nightmare scenario that would keep politicians awake at night.

I live in the Nicoya area & the elders here eat meat ......with their rice & beans. The beef here is grass fed & without hormones & antibiotics. Fast food is not eaten, chickens are "free range" & many people raise their own pigs or know someone to buy from. Basically, things are still fairly pure here......water, air, organic vegetables. The expression here is 🌻Pura Vida 🌻......"How are you?" "Pura Vida" "How did your trip go?" 🌻 Pura Vida 🌻 " Ticos live in the present moment.......

When it’s cold that’s when the socializing is most needed.

Somehow I associate the Aspen Institute w The Kochs. Because of corporate rule, we've destroyed most of the world diet, not to mention the environment. For us to be able to eat "blue zone," where do we get the pesticide, carcinogen free food? All of our corn is Monsanto GMO. Corporate greed has to stop. We can easily find the ways to promote longevity, but not under our current system that puts profit above people.

And they have the siesta where they take a break during the day it’s awesome!! People are so nice and have such beautiful hearts and all of the generations hang out together

Amen with the need for a sense of purpose.

Such a beautiful presentation! I am going share it with my family! I am on my way to becoming a health and wellness coach and the Blue Zones were recommended for study. What a great project, The Blue Zone Project! This man and his staff are such beautiful souls for doing this!!!

Awesome teaching presentation on blue zone. Thank you for sharing this wonderful information.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

I am a Seventh Day Adventist believer living in Tanzania. I have witnessed my Uncle whom lived and practiced SDA believes he lived up to 87 which is the same as Loma Linda CA USA. His not from USA what I want to say SDA diet and believes works

that "I was just pinching my self" part got me laughing so much that it prolonged my life for couple of years. 😀

Kudos! Your lecture authenticates the book “Living Younger Longer” May we have more of these so we all can be centenarians. Thank you very much. May your tribe increase!

American's plate size and glass size is double to that of Australia. We experienced this when visiting in Hawaii.

Very nice - loved the story of the Greek National that came to US and went back and cancer was gone based on living a healthy lifestyle. BTW not all drink!!!! Seventh-day Adventist’s don’t! It is not the alcohol, it is the resveretrol in the grape that prevents cancer.

Is there funding to make this happen? I would like to learn more, go to a training and present it in low income neighborhoods.

There's another blue zone in Northern Pakistani region of Hunza.

Wim Hoff recommends cold to reset immune system. Interesting these blue zones and weather. Also reminds me of people who take ice cold showers or swim all year round. Also the islands and life styles which expose one to plenty of vit D which strengthens immunity plus plenty of oxygen and daylight which hav their own health giving properties on brain body and mood. Then I see good fats being consumed and no over consumption of protein. Lowering stress with fun laughter n good friends - well one cant beat that one !

Aspen Colorado is a great place to be in since the air is probably cleaner. 1 in 10 in our planet now die from air pollution. Being in a more rural area will minimize exposure to chemicals. Not retiring also helps people live longer. Being part of a community like the seventh day adventist church helps. Having lots of close friends also helps. The healthy eating pattern seems to be cheap unrefined staple foods and vegetables. The Greek islands and Italy islands ate whole grain bread (unfermented or sourdough fermented). It is hard to replicate their diet bec they have hundreds of wild plants. Okinawa ate mostly sweet potato, purple sweet potato and vegetables. Japanese also eat lots of wild plants. If want to eat healthy, the best thing to do is actually to avoid eating in restaurants. The animal products industries are very powerful so those following plant based diets will probably remain at 1%.

Good overall video, but, not all those places eat near vegetarian. Sardinians, Greeks etc eat more meat/dairy than they claim here.

My best friend Dad is going to be 80 soon and he is stronger than my friends and I. He doesn't take any medication at all either.

Wonderful presentation saw this July 2021 dureing the Pandemic!!!

Learn all you can about the people of the 5 Blue Zones made famous for Longevity and Wellness of Life into 100 years and more . We can learn alot from these people . Holistic Chef Barry Anderson

When a guy says that a population based on shepherding gets no more than 5% of its food from animal products, do you wonder whether 1) the entire population has gone into EXACTLY the wrong line of work or 2) the guy did a poor job of collecting data?

Hello sir, I am impress of your informations. But I can't follow all those lifestyle. I have no garden to plant organic vegetables. Organic fruits. Unless I will live in that blue zone countries. I live in polluted country. No mountains to walk. Very impossible to live longer this time. Please help. Suggestion accepted XXXX. Lovely, brilliant speaker. Explained very precisely. Excellent.

Western culture at large is built on dominance and selfish ambition at large as the broad mindset that creates these environments and lifestyles. Short term gains. Me and my.

Why are the people of the Hunza valley not considered a blue zone ???

If we combine the blue zone diet with Dr. David Sinclair's theories and India's Ayerveda,it would be a great combination of anti aging and longevity.

How does eating the Mediterranean diet in these blue zones compare with veganism in terms of longevity and health?

I wonder why Gates & Soros don't invest in healthy communities like this ?

I whoosh Northern Michigan part of a blue Joanne I love to learn more about healthy diets in the blue zone in live longer

Wonderful. Keep helping people

What about latitudes or longituds, are this places aligned in some way?

Wow! These guys must have read “Living to 100-and Beyond” by Dr. Michael Fossell In “Young For Life”!

There's also an unofficial Blue Zone in Skane, Sweden with a large amount of centenarians for the population. It's a fairly harsh, cold climate at times and their diet is richer, and has a lot of meat and animal products in it. Animal products aren't the problem. It's the processed, America-style foods, overeating, and being lazy and overstressed. Even the Blue Zones, many of them raise cattle and or goats/sheep and not for fun. They use the milk, and also make cheese, and eat the meats, especially the goats and sheep. Their diets are quite diverse.

Great video.

very interesting. Great presentation!

Feeling Empty? What does it take to be a Christian? Faith in Christ Matthew 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. The Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Faith Alone in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (God) to Forgive your Sins through His blood. By believing in this you have become a new creation in Christ, and have a promise you’ll be with the Lord in your death, but also have the Holy Spirit living in you forever as a guide for you. If you believe, from that moment on to eternity you are saved (No matter how much you struggle with sin after). Romans 3:23-25 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Romans 3:10-12 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Hell or Heaven? Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 23:13 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? HELL IS A REAL LOCATION ALL NON CHRISTIANS WILL BE THERE AND ARE THERE John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Heaven or Hell? A PRAYER FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH “I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Christ died for my sins and rose three days later from the grave. Thank you for forgiving my sin on the cross. You alone Jesus is now why I have forgiveness and eternal life. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen.” If you have prayed this with faith you are Forgiven and now in the Body of Christ. Welcome brother or sister. Remember saying a prayer does not save you, having Faith does in Jesus and what He did for you. I encourage you to find a Godly Bible believing church as well God Bless

i hope you can help us to create blue zones here in the phllipines! please help us here.

Gotta count the oxalates if you eat a lot of veggies to avoid calcium oxalate kidney stones. And add vitamin K2.

Blue zones were always there but, profits took over city's in America.

Adventist focus on three things, what are those, I can't understand what he is saying on the first word. Someone please help with this. Must be my tone problem.

Great video!

Es ist immer wichtig

Wow! Thanks!

34:30 positive benefits of faith.

❤

What about flat surfaces? Do they all walk on rocks or dirt roads, or perfect flated ground?

Great product for health.

I don't know if Brazilians have already wached this video, but, if so, this guy in this video looks like Ciro Gomes, a politician in Brazil.

PLEASE COME TO NEW JERSEY WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED

So they do the eat a lot of whole grain rice or bread; the presenters keeps saying fruits, veggies, and legumes. Did i heat that correctly? If anyone has an answer that would be great.

Can someone give us the list of kenpo herbs as mentionned in the beginning of the video ?

Wow! great project? How do I contact you regarding inplementing the project in my area?

what about Abhazia and Hunza? - Americans live less due to selfishness greed and obesity. its because u ignore the other .. inhumanity leads to inhumanity

Why you ask then for our subscription ..?

You called that guy a Karate master when he was clearly wearing a Judo Gi.

Wonderful

From all the documentaries I’ve seen on Sardinia it seems like this man is under representing the amount of red meat they eat. The eat a very balanced diet from what I’ve seen. This video makes it sound like they are 95% vegetarian but that may not be a really accurate.

In regards to longevity most topics are widely discussed but not an important one for men especially. Sexuality and its practices. Do men who live longer tend to have more active sexual lives? What about masturbation when they were young? I am really curious and it would help me.

3:50 explains the dogmatic approach of the video, which is to start with a bunch of assumptions (things you've heard throughout life) that you haven't acted upon (because there was never any good evidence to support the assumptions) and suddenly resolving, thanks to the intervention of a charismatic speaker, to act on the assumptions as if you know them to be true without requiring evidence.

At 4:14 i swear he turned to fart to the audience :)))

sorry but Sardinians eat lots of everything including meat & fish & cheese

And even beyond 120 Biomedical sciences discoveries will make this possible. Think 150 yrs young

If we pose dark matter / dark energy interchangeability, we can see how, by merely living in that extra dimension, we can do seamless tissue-health trans-locations. We can skip the deterioration that ageing has on human tissues. Via the closer, more thorough dark matter / dark energy relationship, we’ve simplified human health in easy, extra-dimensional terms. Closer adherence to dark matter / dark energy terms allows us to skip entire phases of bad science. It’s as though, when we live in universe-spanning time-space, we can extra-dimensionally lift out of the present and connect the past with the future. To best do this, we need to do it on a regular basis. If you think about it, it’s like when, in many-minds consciousness we use a universe-spanning energy phase to lift out and above a lesser space, then we immerse ourselves into it to get better over-views. We know that e.t.’s do this, and they all live longer than we do. Living in an easily inter-changeable, universe-spanning context, they enjoy gently-lofted lives of universal peace. With the added intelligence of giant-brained whales in our mix, so should we. re the above: Let’s look at this with improved, extra-dimensional physics definitions. If, long ago, the observable universe expanded away from all black holes, that would have added mass and vacuum energy to the black holes, as it does today. If, at plus-or-minus light speed, energy is really change in extra-dimensional order-in-complexity, then, given the 5 to 1 ratio of dark matter to atomic matter, time is better explained as extra-dimensional order-in-complexity. Consistent with this insertion of extra-dimensions into our science, we re-define mass as alternate time-space, or alt t. In other words, we’ve added super-fluid, extra dimensions into every part of Einstein’s equivalency. Outwardly, nearly-instantly expanding dark energy is, by definition, super-fluid because it falls up and out. So, in our alternative to the big bang, an older, condensed phase extension of the universe poses multiply more mass and vacuum energy in its black holes. In super-liminal phases, that would be expected. In other words, our newer parts of universe didn’t occur at the end of 10 99th to 10 120th year black hole evaporation phases. Given that the universe is accelerating its expansion, we should assume that older extensions of universe will have done the same, hence we don’t see them visually. However, their dark matter phases still register, right here, where we are. The only way to see this all clearly is to frame it all in terms of dark matter / dark energy equivalency. The inter-changeability of dark matter and dark energy in an adapted version of Einstein’s equation explains how black holes gain mass as the universe expands, even without absorbing atomic matter. If we expand all relationships outside of black holes, that has to affect black holes internally. So, in place of energy and mass in Einstein’s equation, let’s put dark energy and dark matter so that we get a better, intuitive view of the relationship. Now, our extra-dimensional re-phrasing makes perfect sense, and we can see how we experience condensed dark matter phases across super-luminal, fraction-of-the-universe expanses in many-minds consciousness.

no, they don't "know how to downshift", that's COMPLETELY wrong. there's never an upshift.

Where can I find the video shown at 5:20?

the blue zones look like they are all on the equator

How is life after 80? What you enjoy ? Anything left if you are lucky or cursed to suffer ?lol!

This grups is alike Rick daddy or am way .is all about business no matter lie to others

We hire this we hire that you talking 1% of the population elite !

Secrets of a long life? Just eat healthy, concentrate on vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. And for the love of God, get off your smart phone and exercise. It's not complicated, folks.

19:42 Fisherman in Okinawa

Good

👍👍👍🙏♥️

The have millions of sheep in Sardinia and Crete (5 times more than humans) but they don’t eat them. They are grilling them over charcoal every night when the American scientist sleep. But they don’t eat the grilled sheep. They eat strict „Mediterranean“ which is plant based! The 100-year old Japanese guy goes spear fishing everyday to provide his family with fish but they rarely eat fish. Yes, yes, yes it’s 95% plant based on Okinawa, too! 👍🤣🤣🤣

Very interesting but that’s not the all story , it is a bit too romantic. There is more genetic involved than what it says , if it was only a matter of the 9 factors he mentions , which are certainly very important , there would be many more blue zones than only 5. There is recent studies showing that these people who live passed 100 years have a superior immune system and that’s not the only biological factor , these centenarians also have a better microcirculation . Following the 9 factors can add 10 years to your life on average but cannot add 20 or 30s that you need to live 100 or 110 years old .

The Californians adopted a diet that was given to Adam and Eve who lived in Paradise, in the garden of Eden before the fall, meaning before they became mortal. Then a diet was given to Noah and his sons following the flood, that was given to all mankind. Genesis 9:3-5 first tells us to eat meat, then mentions herbs, but in the sense that: as the herb, all things were given to us to eat. It then prohibits the consumption of animal blood. I find the reason for the longevity of the people in the blue zones to be far more likely caused by their activity, they're grounding with family, community, and religion, and their tendencies to slow down, then with their diets. All groups had different diets. some of them ate some meat. Most of them seem to eat whole foods, and that may be the dietary key right there.

Sheferds at 80 years and enjoy it ?lol

Great presentation, I didn’t like the vegan push. But otherwise great job.

Maybe it pass from your mind that your selfish . and sickening greed ?

Left brain approach, even adhered to the straightest hypothesis and correlations, can never get to the supposedly holy Grail. At best is passive: something that we shouldn't do. I used to think also that we're body, mind and spirit, a three legs stool. Now I think we're all spirits making physical journeys, with physical manifestation. Keep spirit on track ( that's why mental/physical vices lead to early demises), everything fall into places. What you deserve NOW cannot be explained away by physical or emotional laws. There are sages that live to be more than hundreds ( not just centenarian) with only one denominator: to them, physical lives are apparatus to finish their missions ( Mandela, although shortened his life by 2 decades with that incredulous physical/emotional strains, sure was no adherening to any blue zone rules). And the reverse is true with many Marathon runners; big family and "community love" traditional remote country folks in China, India, Middle East, Asia; vegetarians, gun lovers ( their families, friends and innocent by-standers, esp. children. It's ironical that Missouri was chosen ) Maybe we should look for blue dots, not blue zones ( the denominator of these small areas, again, is the absence of these American vices) that connect us into a Quantum celestial blue sky?

Will Covid 19 affect the life length of one in the Blue Zone areas. We shall see

These areas were rich in minerals that were absorbed by plants which then eaten by inhabitants. Simple!

Blue zones you tube

Just minus the animal products and you could look good too not just live long lol

Are you taking care of Joe Biden? He needs to be the first 100-year old president !

boon

Propaganda!

The ritzy carrot consistently heat because care coherently radiate vice a handsomely neck. zesty, macabre substance

8 years more in a wheelchair ? No good food ? Only ‘ healthy’. No sex ? No joy ? Forget the 8 years thanks !
