How to live to be 100+ - Dan Buettner 

When he said isolation kills that broke my heart, thinking of all the elderly ppl we put in homes and our often forgotten. I think its very important to care for our parents and grandparents when they get to that age.

9 tips at 15:39 this is for the students watching this LMAO

I wish I was born in one of the 'old world' cultures. I absolutely hate modern society and wish I lived in like a small Sicilian town with a simple job and great food, wine, scenery and lifestyle

1. Lives include physical activity. Walk. Garden. 2. Downshift - slow down for 15 minutes per day. 3. Sense of purpose. 4. Don’t overeat. 5. Faith -based community.

I have been using this Ted Talk in my classes for years. It’s great to see Netflix had unpacked all the Blue Zones in their special.

I am 80 yrs old, been to Costa Rica andsaw you on the plane coming back. I have good health, eat beans, very little meat.........love to hang out with good friends. I can do whatever I want climb towers and love the foods that Costa Rica has...........love life and wish I had moved to CR to stay.............I love the people. For me I think you are safer there than ever i America.

i swear i've had to watch this ted talk for like 5 different homework assignments. teachers, you did not strike gold that you need to spread with your younglings, we've seen it

That would be wonderful to have many friends and family around. I miss being around very old people. They are so wise and interesting.

I live in Okinawa and I wish I could stay forever. This place is paradise and joy on earth.

This is how my grandparents lived considered poor but they were organic, happy and fullfilled

I cant like this enough. I come back every half a year or so to rewatch it. And every time i discover something new or something I´ve learned that was already in this video all along, I just understand it better now.

THE REASON FOR WHICH YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING - - - wonderful peoples - wonderful lives

One of my favorite talks. Sums up many things I have been trying to do.

January 2, 2014. This message from you was one of the best New Year's gifts to be given to anyone! So many myths debunked. Yes we have our genetic limits but also, it is the "quality of live lived" that makes the greatest impact whether in Sardinia or Okinawa or Loma Linda! You are so right that it is lifestyle habits and appreciation of Nature and being calm and enjoying every little thing Nature has to offer, that promotes longevity. I agree with you 100% that our immune systems are what keep things going and if these are damaged, we become sick and our life spans are shortened. I only hope that with science we can learn more how our immune systems work and keep them in top shape. If only people would hear your talk and LISTEN to what you are saying, they would live longer! That is the take home message! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. Best wishes, Malcolm

Great chat. Example of a group of people who live long, and how they do it. Very inspirational! From a speaking g standpoint and to live long 😊

This is the single greatest Ted Talk that exists. This should be a requirement for EVERYONE to see. We can't just keep pretending we're sad and grieving the loss of people who have chronic illness knowing there are SO many prevention factors that we minimize or make fun of when we're young. Think about health now, make it a lifestyle, and you will have not just longevity but greater QUALITY of life!

The secret to a long and healthy life is always prefer need over greed. In everything. In food, work, family, entertainment...everything!

To live to be 100 we need to support breakthroughs in the longevity field.

who's watching this for class?

Very inspirational! Thank you from Blue Zones Project Yuba Sutter!

His voice sounds like Steve Carrell

I grew up in Riverside near Loma Linda and shopped in the 7th Day Adventist shops. I was the healthiest athlete (before leaving for college)! I'm now on a program with Mary-Ann Shearer to get my health back on a whole foods plant based diet . . .

I am programmed to want to be alone, own a house, enjoy my rest, enjoy my human experience....in my own house, terms, property, wealth, health, youth....

Have a peaceful day

Great presentation and research project - it couldn’t be more important! I’m just about done reading the Blue Zones book Dan wrote, and it’s fantastic + super interesting…

Fantastic study!

Very good talk!

He sounds like Michael Scott...

Great talk!

great talk. very informative. I would like to add that Mel Gibson's dad did get a Mesenchymal stem cell transfusion when he was on deaths door in his early 90's and is now still living at 100 with better eye sight. This is because he got injected with day one cells that have the capacity to divide like a 12 year old child. This is probably the only treatment that can slow or reverse aging. When combining this with a life style that is mostly plant based and also having healthy social structures and a reason to get up in the morning I believe it can be great

Excellent topic. "The time will come when meat will no longer be eaten. Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground. The people will gradually develop up to the condition of this natural food." ~ 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahai Faith

Wow, Dan Buettner, great great work! Let me add here that in the newest edition of his book, they also surveyed IKARIA, the Greek island with most centenarians.

inspirational

Awesome inspiration attainable THANKS

Except he mislabelled the diving 94 year old man. That's my grandfather, Marion Westermeyer who was a practising Anesthesiologist into his 80's.

Very Interesting. Thanks Dan. Thanks Ted.

my great-grandmother turned 99 exactly 10 days ago.. she was a heavy smoker (about 2 packs a day) since she was 24 until she was 86..

That's what she said. This was a fantastic piece. Dan sounds so much like Michael Scott.

lecture is so good

90% of living to 100 is up to us- no one else

Perfection

Great Video

Wow, didn't expect his voice to be so high LOL

Great video. Jeanne Calmet still holds the official verified longevity record. She lived to about 123. She quit smoking at 117.

Great video.

Beautiful

That was really good

Excellent 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

80%, not 20% 9:05

My great grandmother is 99 and has her birthday this year

wow, more people need to watch this than 133!

I just wanna live 100 years just to witness how much science and technology gonna change in these years. Science is fascinating after all.

This was on an article from National Geographic Channel Magazine

The voice reminds me of Steve Carell. Very interesting, thanks!

Amazing speaker

Best TedTalk ever

It's better to live happily than to live long...

Thanks for the great information. The United States has ALOT to learn and change regarding these practices.

I'm not so concerned with longevity, rather i am more concerned with QUALITY of life.

Love me some Dan Buettner!

Many people have their birthday each year... come to think of it.. i might as well.

A very relevant video.

Thanks a lot. I agree. I just say it's ALOT, a big number. Trillions anyway, which is why people can abuse their bodies for many years without serious consequences. The body is amazingly resilient. I think what we put into it has a massive effect on our cellular health and how we feel and ultimately how long we may live. What are you studying ?

Thanks, yeah it's something I see crop up again and again with regards to the exact number of cells. In this presentation I have to say I've never heard the amount be so low as 35 trillion. Anyway, we have lots of cells and I wonder how they count them ? :-D

Дякую за це відео, до минулого року, я не знала, що можу розуміти білоруську мову, а також білоруси розуміють нас. Бажаю вам, білоруси очиститися від московитського засилля, відновити свою мову та культуру! А щодо пана Снайдера, то він дещо спотворює українську історію також. Складається враження, що він послуговувався деякими московитськими джерелами.

The talk was a great contribution in promotion of theory longevity.

Wonderful, thank you 🩵 On my recent visit to Japan. I also thought that the hot springs and getting in and out of freezing water into hot water had a lot to do with bringing down the stress. As well as the community involved in visiting these places.

telomeres are key to life length and finding ways to lengthen them.

gabor mate, I don't know why I mention him, he is good.

"...we're down to 1.5 close friends..." does anyone know where to find these surveys? Thanks

He said Framingham. That’s my Town !!

I have young children who have loving relationships with but no close friends. I have healthy habits, veg, exercise etc. Opinions?

Dr Brad Wilcox has stated when it comes to okinawans that they have built up some sort of resiliance against things in life that are hard or even horrible. How does one gain that kind of resiliance? Any advice?

Awesome

HES LIKE A SMART MICHAEL SCOTT

This video will become valuble as i age haha..

You must be proud.

Ima need some major citations for a lot of this.

A good talk, and Buettner's surveys of the Blue Zones are corroborated by evidence from the peer-reviewed medical literature, which is consistent in finding that a mostly or fully plant-based diet rich in healthy sources of protein such as legumes/beans and nuts is beneficial for health.

The Adventists get their longevity from Jewish traditions. Congrats to them!

Can anyone summarize this

Well what about the fact that these communities are seemingly located in areas with low pollution. Low air pollution and low food pollution?

Yep there are treatments now that slow aging...time for an update. :)

Alguien que me lo traduzca porfa

Where is Costa Rica?

A notable exception which will be complete disregarded.

What are the peoples names? Marg Ditan? I wanna look up more on a few of them. Thanks

"Honour your father and and your mother"

What if you can't make friends, damn.

Where's the data?

That's a very good point. Fortunately there's plenty of beans, legumes and nuts that don't have that level of estrogen.

133! is a mathematical expression. I was just trying to be funny by implying that you meant the 133rd factorial, which is significantly more than 133.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

"When you believe in things that you don't understand, you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, No. no, no!"

What TYPE of text is the Ted Talk?

Cool! Can I light my joint now?

What, no mention of Statins or BP drugs. Why? Is wine better than doctor force fed drugs?

Okenowa reminds me of the Karate Kid

I though there was a spider on my screen ! :)
