Longevity: Journey into the blue zone | TechKnow 

Indeed!

I don't think they were saying that their lives were free from stress, they did go through two world wars after all. It seems that they dealt with their stress better than we do with the stresses of the modern world. Perhaps they didn't have the same expectations of an easy life that we have grown up with?

@@vickiworthington2441 exactly!

No stress? Bullsh*t. It’s all about how you handle the stress without making an impact on your health.

So you want to be a loser

Sure, the diet and exercise will help, but without those invisible social structures its like trying to fix a car with good parts but no knowledge of car repair.

bullshit

Sorry but what you said it’s not exactly, in fact the main reason of longevity is based on genetic. Secondly even the non-modernity as you mentioned actually is not correct because close family and friendship ties, plenty of sunshine which don’t concern non- modernity (in general the Italian life-style demonstrated by science) are some of the reasons of Italian’s longevity.

@Adam A. That is the secret! Eat what grows organically in the soil. Sunshine, moderate exercise, family relationships etc. But modern life is killing every single thing created by God and create their own GMO's including creating GMO human

Or multi culturism and gang violence.

This is the best life🌈🙏💃🫂🌊🌌

What an esoteric nonsense xd They are healthy because they eat very high carb low fat, and because they walk a lot.

Exactly.

Yes is true!

@Adam A. also blue zones consume more alcohol, less grains/dairy.........meat,poultry isnt the problem like areas with high dairy intake like USA has high grain/dairy intake and suffer highest rates of osteoporosis.......now California has highest production of organic food in the US and 10th heathiest state.....really fattening starchy grains like white rice, wheat, barley and rye..gluten sensitivity and celiacs is a problem as well..Not to mention Canada and US has mostly processed nutrient deficient food.....GMos, pesticides etc. like at Iceland rest of Scandinavia, spain, Australia consume some of the highest intake of meats and their the healthiest countries to live.....Spain eats alot of eat......but not much for grains, but is ranked the healthiest place.....even outranks japan for health and lifespan.....japan has virtually the lowest dairy intake and look at them......eating organic and avoiding processed, gmos, etc and dairy and grains arnt good either...Russian born man was 122 and he could pass for 85.......He ate dairy from goat and sheep's, local pasture meats and fresh greens straight from the farm or backyard....also do research on insect nutrition, insects retain dozens of times more nutrients then any animal sorce....like organically farmed cricets retain 12 x more then beef and salmon, 20 x more the eggs and chicken and 30 to 50 x more then pork or milk....

@Adam A. A MAN thought to be Russia's oldest person has died at the age of 122, authorities in the North Caucasus region of Dagestan said. Magomed Labazanov, a retired labourer who lived in Serebryakovka village close to the city of Kizlyar, died early Friday, the local government said on its website. Labazanov was reportedly born in Dagestan and worked in a sawmill and later on a farm. He never learned to read and write. The date of his birth has not been authenticated as he did not have an original birth certificate. According to the Guinness World Records, the oldest person in the world is Besse Cooper of the United States, who turned 116 last month. The mountainous North Caucasus is famed for its long-lived elders, although the turmoil of the Soviet era means that many do not have documents proving their age. Labazanov was one of the thousands of people in North Caucasus republics who were uprooted during World War II on Stalin's orders and deported to Central Asia, returning only in the 1950s. Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda said he attributed his long life to a simple diet of corn bread, whey, fruits and vegetables. Hi did not drink alcohol or smoke, it said. Labazanov celebrated his 122nd birthday on May 1, according to local media..................................................................................................now other then corn bread, he didnt eat much grain, other articles he says he ate occasional sheep's milk, local meats, poultry, fresh vegetables and fresh spring water...remember though europe has highest life expectancy and highest production and access to organic foods

@Adam A. im getting more interested in insect nutrition insects are the most nutrient dense foods even more then seafoods or kelp, seavegtables....crickets can have u to 32 percent protein, 3 to 4 times the daily intake of most major vitamins and 2 to 3 x the intake some minerals, as well as providing 12 x the amount of B vitamins of beef or 20 that of eggs and chicken etc.. earthworms are 82 percent protein, provide omega 3 and some essential nutrients also frying them in sunflower oil, they can taste similar bacon

The prophet Food is 10%. hongkong live longest and eat most meat.

The most centenarians are in the blue zones and Hong Kong is not one of them. That crazy place would make anyone want to die early.

@@gunnikr Hongkongers life expectancy is the longest. Google it. Bluezones are all omnivores, they are not vegans. They live long because of clean lifestyle...no drugs, no late nights, little alcohol, little tobacco, stress free family practice. If you want to compare diets, get a pure vegan community...let them use drugs, tobacco, alcohol, stay late nights...then we can talk.

Meat is healthy no wonder they love long in Hong kong

Maria if your family lived there over 100 years ago, how are those people your family? Gli Americani sono sempre così imbarazzanti quando si parlano del loro dna.

Didnt your grandparents keep their mediterrainian diet while living in usa?

@@perseagratissima Are you telling me it’s impossible to have grandparents born in Italy in the 1800’s, and not have a connection to my current family in Italy? My grandparents came to the United States over 125 years ago, in fact, from Palinuro (Centola), had 8 children in the United States, all Americans. All of their children, including my father who is still alive at 94, lived close to 100. Their first language was Italian. My grandparents were born in Italy, we have relatives in that region. It’s a very simple equation. They came through Ellis Island, lived here in the United States and had American children. My dad was born in 1927, the only child still alive, and was the youngest. Pretty easy to understand. The only embarrassing comment here is yours. Comments like yours doesn’t make me feel good about being proud to take so much effort to keep my familial Italian connection alive. Anyway, I may have Italian blood, but I’m a proud American, make no mistake. Good day.

Sure. Stressful jobs slashe age

@@AhmedSayed-pj8kj absolutely spot on

A job can make you age fast…..

@@coribailey4519 It depends on what kind of job. If one's job is related to fitness or nutrition, maybe ageing can be slowed. The worst kinds of jobs are those which handle hazardous materials or those having to deal with toxic people.

Do stuff with your hands not your brain

Sounds like intermittent fasting to me. Dr Berg

William Wallace they don’t have breakfast just a coffee with nuts honey not like fat Americans grew up Greece

Actually she said they have lunch at 12 am and dinner at 17 pm. Of course they also have breakfast earlier in the morning, around 6-7 am I suppose. I’m also from Italy, from the region of Piedmont, which is different in many aspects from Sardinia, but even my grandparents use to eat more or less at the same time

Sadly, this only works for 10-15% of all humans today who have a certain mutation in their FOXO3 gene. Most humans lost that mutation.

And they eat real food and not the ultra processed stuff that's killing people

and modern jobs too.

It's not the foods falt people choose to eat badly

Blame Ray Kroc .

Modern Life and it's values.

@@aaron___6014 values is debatable ?

Well the last I heard the trees are dying.The sun is not good anymore. The chemtails are killing us. I can go on and on. I live I the US, so tell me how it is getting better.

Easy to check micro-circulation. Do you experience cold hands? If you do - try reducing dairy consumption, or increasing veggies. Do what u can to maintain warm hands (micro-circulation).

They have done numerous studies similar to the one you suggested. There can be massive alterations in health in as little as 2 weeks. Diseases can be cured in 3 months. It has happened time & time again - cures for diabetes, cancer, lupus, etc.

Yes great point. The blue zone research talks at length about lifestyle factors.

Diet when you live in north America our diet is garbage......20 to 50 percent diet and in general its genes

Good points. My only correction is that there's a huge amount of vegetarian propaganda misleading us about their actual diet. the truth is they eat plenty of meat fat and milk and cheese.

@@szililolabu a documentary I watched on the blues zones most diets consisted of mostly vegetarian but they did eat meat occasionally it was more of a once a month thing. They really consist of a very basic diet. Of one main staple and a all seem to have their own organic gardens

@@fransinclair3356 the Sardinians in the Blue zone are a sheep herding society. Like every single sheep herding society on the planet they eat plenty of milk, cheese and red meat. There are a few debunking videos that are hard to find. I understand that the documentaries do say what you are telling me. They are wrong.

Not true, they eat fish, meat (not so much red meat) and cheese often. Some decades ago meat (especially red meat) was not widely available but they had pork, poultry and fish often, not so sporadically.

Something that is not mentioned is height. Most people in these blue zones are relatively short and so are most centenarians. Height and weight demand more effort from the heart.

not so much exercise, but rather activity

19 hrs.

Actually it's the opposite. As we age, we need to eat more animal proteins to prevent sarcopenia.

+Zoncolan nope , you need to reduce protein intake if you want to live long, there is a clear body of evidence that diet rich in protein is detrimental to good health and longevity and it promotes cancer. sarcopénia has nothing to to do with protein intake, the only way to slow it down is regular strength exercises.

I am from cilento, and I guarantee you, those guys in the video eat meat everyday. Mostly white meat, but it's still meat. This vegetarian propaganda won't get you far in reality.

We have evolved for millions of years to be omnivours, a varied and balanced diet is the best in my opinion and definitely more enjoyable....

Zoncolan lololololololol

Red meat isn't the problem (and I don't support meat generally, because I eat very little) but I know Sardinia, and there is a lot of red meat- beef and lamb - but it is grown on green pastures, not fed with chemical food and kept inside.

Lol! You are correct Mr. Brazorf. I have people on the internet calling me black,because I live in Greece. Greeks have been white since the beggining of time,unless you run into migrants or gypsies. Modern people have been led to beleive strange things,thanks to the Jew revisionist historians. We have lived on these lands way before Homer and Herodotus and we will continue to the end of time...

yes I'm white but grew up in the tropics. We seek out the shade most of the time when we're outside. Mild sun exposure is great...it increases vitamin D production in your body. But too much can lead to skin cancer. You should always wear a hat outside.

Also in Okinawa which is one of the blue zone, the young people start to eat like American and guess what ? Okinawa has the longest life expectancy in the world but the highest rate of obesity and diabetes in Japan.
