The foods that people living to 100+ - in Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece and Loma Linda, CA. (aka Blue Zones) - eat.
Diet is part of their longevity but not all of it. These groups usually have all the elements. Like low stress, community events and laughter , exercise outdoors, sunshine, etc. It is not just the diet. Stress kills and the western culture rat race lifestyle HAS LOTS OF STRESS , lonely people , 40% obesity
I agree totally. I have followed the lifestyles and diet of these populations for quite a while now and as a European friend I would say that the stress that accompanies your "American dream" lifestyle will never be compensated for by diet alone. When I was a kid we had a saying that the Americans live to work, and we work to live. That is not to say that the people of the blue zones are not hard workers, because in fact they are hard physical workers, but rather I believe that in addition to their diet, their philosophy of life focuses on friendship, spirituality and savouring the simple beauty that is in every day. I feel that for many people today, the focus of life seems to be the attainment of career success at all costs, but at what price?
Both of my grandmas lived into their 90s. They both had gardens; raised their own vegetables and also raised their own chickens; etc. There was no processed foods in their diets and no chemicals.
Loma Linda I a wonderful place. I studied there for seven years to be a surgeon. I was raised a Seventh day Adventist, and I was a Ovo Lacto (that means that I did eat eggs, and drink milk) Vegetarian until I was 18 years old. Now I am 76 years old, still doing surgery five days a week, and going strong. Thank you Loma Linda, and I plan to be part of your Blue Zone Population.
I worked with several 7th Day Adventist physicians here in Michigan and I always enjoyed working with them. They acted deeply for people and went the extra mike for their staff and patients
George.... I eat a mixed diet, sometimes heavy in meat and fat, I am 73 and going strong, no medications, so here's hoping. But I very seldom eat processed food, take aways etc.
I was raised SDA as well but the problem with many of the vegetarians, well not actual vegetarian as vegetarians don't eat animal products, but everyone was ovo-lacto. The amount of butter, dairy and cheese at potlucks and boarding school....like wow! I have a cookbook that my grade school put together and sold to raise money. All the recipes came from student's families and church members and when I look at it today it is stunning how much fatty cheese, milk, cream , butter, etc. is in the food and still they live longer on average. Thank goodness for being raise to eat a bunch of meat, bacon, and other garbage. Very nice and thoughtful group of people which I am sure is a big de-stressor which would help lengthen life The average Loma Linda Adventist would live even longer if all the dairy, cheese, etc was not used to the degree that they are.
my great grandma lived to 106 years old, my grandma is currently 80 and my grandpa 90. It's not like they don't stress but they all had peaceful lives without major sad events and they just worked to live and not the other way around. They dont eat too much, they eat yogurt with honey every morning, some homemade meal afterwards (like beans, chicken in the oven, fish, vegetables in the oven with feta etc) and cheese with bread and tea or chamomile in the afternoon. They also walk every morning and they have never used a car, they go everywhere they want by foot or bus. I think simplicity is the best tactic, exercising daily, not stressing too much, not eating heavily processed food on a daily basis.
The best lifestyle advice change I can give anyone is STOP eating fast food & STOP drinking soda. I cold Turkey did this and lost 15lbs in 11 months. This was the only diet change / lifestyle change I made. It was effortless and rewarding.
My grandfather lived to 103. Most of his life he ate 3 eggs for breakfast. Skipped lunch entirely and had greens, potatoes, carrots, meat and gravy 6 days a week. Fish and chips on Fridays. None of the rubbish filling our supermarket shelves these days ever entered his mouth.
The minestrone: all those ingredients plus escarole. I grew up on this. My grandmothers died at 97 and 94 respectively. My parents are both still alive and in their nineties. My grandparents immigrated to America in the 1940s. We never had anything on the table not made from scratch. We preserved our own tomato sauce every August/September, including egglant and roasted peppers. No obesity. No diabetes. So yeah. Let food be thy medicine. These days it should be organic and non gmo. God help us and God Bless. Great vlog!!!
My grandma and great grandma lived into their late 90’s, they ate tons of bean, corn ,root veggies and greens and rarely ate meat or dairy . They drank herbal teas everyday and always took short naps . That’s the way to live 💜
@@phillipsmom6252 Honestly, I think in the long run those who live the longest are there because of their character and mindset. The habits and diets are important but not nearly as important as your stress levels and how you think about your reality.. being "healthy" goes way beyond having a healthy body.
People either tend to misunderstand or don't understand whatsoever!! We, the Mediterranean, like to relax! It is not only about food, it is the life style. It is about having good neighbors, friends and family. Basically, it is about being social in the true meaning of it. Also doing everything in moderation is what matters. Just because walnuts are nutritious doesn't mean you should devour a pound or two...Just because wine is delicious and nutritious you should not drink a bottle of it. Instead, have a glass everyday, which is the sustainable way...Rather than facing the possibility of not being able to drink wine at all, drink a glass or two now...don't abuse it. Do not eat meat whatsoever, or eat once or twice a month. Skip meals every now and then...live happily ever after. Cheers.
Fats are actually good and necessary for the brain, as well as protein. There is this 108 year old black lady from Alabama or Georgia who eats hotdogs every single day!! Go figure!! Maybe it’s a stress free, get sleep society??
@Bill T yea try to follow these charts and eat only kale 3x a day for 2 weeks and tell me how your stomach feels lol These charts are a joke for dumb ppl. It's like bmi to determine if some1 is fat. You'd have to eat several kilos of those to even get daily minimum rda's, which are often WAY too low lol. That's how vegans end up looking so dried out with sunken eyes. If you want to have an ideology instead of health you get deluded and your brain just doesn't function right cause you're starving. Liver gets fried by all the sugar and body completely dehydrated by low nutrient to water ratio. Low aminos to compensate for organ protection and cellular aging just skyrockets
My dad grew up in Ireland all his siblings lived well into their nineties. He ate eggs butter and homemade brown bread everyday and meat and two veg for dinner!! I think exercise is really important and keeping weight down.
Three sisters is a farming method developed by natives from all across the americas. Beans that grow up corn and give the soil back nitrogen which corn uses a lot of and squash as a ground cover to keep moisture from evaporating so fast.
I work in a small family run meat market. We exclusively work with pork, and have customers that have been buying from the same company for 70 years. We have a large number of customers in their late 90's early 100's who are still healthy and they have eaten pork, salt cured and smoked, lard biscuits, collards and sweet potatoes all of their lives.
Yes. And I was born in Okinawa, was there my first year. My mother says they eat pork there regularly and put pork fat/lard in everything, also fish sauce. The man in the video leaves a lot of detail out.
Yes, the diet matters, but really, it's from the trace minerals that run through the soil in different amounts and they are highest in those same long life zones. The local vegetables there are packed with natural minerals.
The seeds we use are modified or stripped of minerals. Grow your own herbs look up what F1 is. It’s modified seeds by companies to keep you using their produce. Now think of this on a grand scale including farmers selling to supermarkets. This is what we eat. Grow your own where you can using heritage seeds.
@Contre Viole 32 I rent in the City in an 80-year old craftsman house and grounds with no digging anything up. So dug up the alley strip, which had never seen a hoe or a fork, the earth rich and black, tomatoes now are 8-feet tall. It's a public alley after all. Then I dug up the neighboring alley. They don't care. 100-feet x 4-feet of virgin earth garden, just for the effort of doing it. Stop your self-pity, please!
You are absolutely correct, and might I also add a little "food for thought." In the U.K., they published a study that predicted that due modern farming practices , designed to maximize crop yields at the cost of soil health/integrity, in approximately one century, they will no longer be able to grow and/or harvest crops. If there isn't a serious shift in the way they grow/raise their food soon their will be no stopping or reversing this. North america has a similar problem but worse because we use more of the unnatural chemicals than they do, our only saving grace is that we haven't been farming the land nearly as long, but we're starting to catch up. The only proper way of farming involves a combination of crop rotations and ethical animal agriculture, and not pumping artificial chemicals/hormones into either. We need both together for us and the planet.
I believe every country has foods that can help you live up to 100 years. Just eat natural food and be active, live the life that makes you happy, and live in harmony with nature. Grow your own food.
@@crand20033Yes odd that pure organic food grown naturally will be a rarity one day. They talking about growing vegan food in tunnels underground and making meat from chicken feathers etc. Crazy world.
Thank you Rachael Ray, Dan gave a great job explaining all of the attributes and benefits of taking the most beneficial foods and broke down the topic easily and clearly in a quick amount of time. His Book looks like a Good One to have on Hand. Thank you.
Someone said, "don't eat what your grandparents would't recognize when they were young". What they would't recognize are the products made by the big food Industy. They make food to make profits. They don't make foods because they care about your health.
@Brenda Garza I understand what you said..........I m Indian , we usually eat fresh foods, fresh and seasonal vegetables, fresh milk, curd etc.............pray for good health for everyone.........
My nan has just had her 95th birthday. Still going strong. She drinks a bottle of whisky a week. She fries everything she eats. She's as sharp and as mobile as someone 30 years younger.
True. The concept of blue Zones was first published in national geographic around the mid 2000s and includes a ven-diagram, that shows the common factors of the different centerinarian communities, one of which is less pressure of time
@@bikemike1118 he was under pressure to produce the book, make the press release rounds, stay up late, excess travel. he looks like he could use some SLEEP too.
@@newburghphysiotherapist2429 i bet without a hint of irony they broke instantly to 5 minutes of meat fast food junk food car money fashion bullshit adverts
The "Three Sisters" diet includes the squash SEEDS. It's very important to have the seeds amino acids to complement the beans and corn. The squash flesh is mostly just carbs, fiber and vitamins that are important too.
Bad thing too, corn is highly connected with a mold species called fusarium, may be old strains not, which produce highly toxic poisons like Deoxynivalenol, Ochratoxin, Zearalenon
It's amazing how this video showcases every food that blue zones around the world eat that helps them live longer. Always remember that a proper healthy and balanced diet is one of the keys for a longer life. We get our energy from the food we eat, so if we eat healthy food it allows us to maximize the nutrients that we get from it. Thank you so much for sharing these. You guys remind us of the amazing people in Reviving Mind who help older people live happier and healthier every single day.
More important is what you don't consume: soda pop, sweet drinks, will kill you faster than if you just drank filtered water; and you'll save a lot of money and time not throwing away all the cans.
Well, I should be as strong as an ox, but I'm not. I'm in my 8th decade, can walk for hours without tiring, live on a peaceful peninsula, have strong ties with neighbours, never, ever eat junk food, have a happy marriage, no finance worries, and don't smoke or gamble. Almost 100% of my food is grains, fruit, veges, tofu, cheese, oil, butter, yoghurt, eggs and fish, with home grown herbs. However, I've inherited a cancer that's been trying to kill me for the last 26 years! I'm guessing that my lifestyle has helped me survive multiple surgeries, radiotherapy and chemo, but it sure didn't prevent my cancer.
My husband is 103 will probably celebrate his birthday in June be 104 We enjoy Tuna fish in oil not chunks but Albacore! We also have peanut butter and other food do not eat citrus have apples and hubby likes prunes or the juice and love strawberries and 🍌.
As a 63 year old SDA I know that lifestyle matters . Simple Whole Foods , avoidance meat / dairy , exercise,water,sunshine temperance ,air,rest and trusting in God . Theses are the keys to a happy life.
Sda people should live longer..many my sdas friend refused to drink tea, coffee,.meat based on their interpretation of bible. Meanwhile on another blue zone like in japan, people eat fish, pork and drink tea and live longer. 😀
Very good presentation by Dan Buettner, based on sound nutrition. I've been on a similar diet since 1978, when I was 35 years of age. I'm in my late 70s now, and my blood tests are constantly good. The last time I had blood tests in August 2021, I was told by the doctor that my blood tests were "perfect"! He told me that my ECG was also "perfect". I suggest a diet based on whole grains and cereals, beans, fruit and vegetables, nuts such as walnuts and almonds, and plain yoghurt with live lactic cultures plus miso paste and other fermented foods, which are probiotics for healthy bacteria in the gut. A positive attitude and trying to be happy as much as one can also figure in a healthy life-style.
Ideally there is A LOT of non starchy vegetables in the diet--particularly leafy greens that are very nutrient dense. Ideally modern wheat is avoided (ancient ones ok, and even better if sourdough cultured first). Ideally the easier to digest legumes are more focused on (lentils, green peas, mung beans, aduki beans, etc). And plenty of physical activity--particularly a blend/balance of high intensity/heart raising stuff, balanced with plenty of gentle, longer duration oxygenation type activities (long walks, gentle swimming, etc). To this list, I would say that very deep meditation is quite helpful. Very deep meditation can directly stimulate the pineal and pituitary glands, and the well known American psychic/mystic/seer Edgar Cayce, once said in trance, "Keep the pineal gland active and you won't age". And to help that meditation out in stimulating the pineal gland--a specific food was very occasionally recommended. It was dubbed "Mummy food" (long account of why). Essentially was just very well chopped dried, unsulphured figs and dates in equal measures, cooked in water on medium for about 20 minutes with a *little* grain of some kind, and then once cooked, some goat milk to cool. Said to be "almost a spiritual food" for "such developed bodies as this one". I have found that one can forgo the cooking part, if they have a very high powered blender and very well blend these into a smoothie (you want/need it turned into a paste consistency). Best way to do that, is first with just a few figs and a small handful of dates in water, blended first, then add the rest of the smoothie ingredients.
@@justinw1765 Great comment. Thanks! I’m going to look more into what Edgar Casey said. And yes, I don’t see enough people under this video commenting on how modern wheat is very problematic. Not only is it very hybridized and high gluten content greater than grains in history, but it has a lot of poisonous glyphosate used on it.
Wow! That Biblical diet is what some of us grew up on in Kenya. Seventh-Day Adventists not just by name, but those who eat the living Word of God. Dad died at 93, he was strong like a horse, mom is 88 strong like an ass. Parents loved each other, were married 67 good years. 13 kids, 11 living with no "sniffles" in their 60's, 50's and 40's. 50 plus grandkids, and another 50 great-grandkids. The genes of those who eat healthily, family togetherness, treating others with compassion, and living a godly life are the ways to pure living and longevity until Kingdom comes. Glad the world is figuring it out now but it's all in the B-I-B-L-E. Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys gave up the king's meat for a 10-day course of vegetables and were found to be healthier and smarter. It doesn't take science to figure it out. Obedience to God is key. Have a blessed day.
Greetings in Christ Jesus. This was an excellent presentation! As an official supporting ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Christian Church, we appreciate the mention of our faith! For anyone interested, the verse Dan Buettner mentioned was Genesis 1:29. God bless you all!
@@ColoradoHiker no. According to Genesis 1:29, no. But there are a few Adventists that have variations of the diet, e.g. Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians (have eggs and dairy products)
i been eating ground up walnuts, mixed nuts, dried cranberries, blue berries, and cherries, along with chia seeds mixed into this, i found after eating this i dont have " junk food "cravings plus i feel fuller,
I agree. Correlation doesn’t mean causation. I’m bit to fascinated with the beans, rice, and corn longevity theory. Or that eating refined carbs is better than exercise lol.
All these groups share much in common: mostly unprocessed natural foods, very little meat, lots of fish & other sources of protein , low stress, strong faiths & family supports, staying active
I saw a special on the "Blue Zones" once. The strong family units and faith have a lot to do with their longevity. I would think that the meat they eat (beef, lamb, etc.) is grass fed. Most people I know are afraid of fish because of mercury. The woman don't have careers outside of the home. They probably tend the gardens and take care of the oldest generation in the home. I don't know how they do it if the oldest generation in the home has dementia and have incontinence. I would suspect that the children are not on the computer or their cell phones all day and help out more than American children. I can't remember the last time that I saw a teenager even cut grass in the house where he lives.
My grandmother lived into her 90s and ate bacon almost every day. And butter. Had a high fat diet. But never ate processed food and always had a garden.
@@ColoradoHiker It's not just about diet (though diet plays a very big role). Being very physically active helps a lot, having community in the life, being a decent hearted person (humor definitely helps), etc. And people of your grandmother's generations, while they did eat things like bacon--they tended to eat a lot less meat than modern Americans. Not only that, but they tended to eat less in general which is important. There are people with exceptional genes that will live a fairly long time, even with a diet that is not the most ideal. But when you get entire large communities of many people living a very long time (into their 100's)--then that is when you should pay attention to their diets and other health lifestyles. And the Blue Zone groups are all pretty low meat compared to average American diet. When meat is eaten, it is more of a side dish rather than the central dish. And again, they also tend to eat less than most people in the US. Besides these patterns, there has been plenty of animal research which shows that certain amino acids which are much higher in flesh foods (than plant foods) activate the m-Tor pathways in the body which significantly reduce longevity. David Sinclair talks a lot about these studies, as well as him and his group having run their own direct studies.
its not all about the food it also has a lot to do with how you think choose to be positive/ happy and not be stressed and keeping your mind and body active
Yes exactly. Mindset > matter. Most people who reach their hundreds are the most relaxed, kind, and simple individuals. This a big reason why they reached this milestone of old age. Their thinking patterns and gratitude has kept their bodies and minds safe.
There is one common denominator to all these places and it received NO mention. Whoever researched this dropped the ball. All these places have goats and sheep and make cheese from them. There are 2 areas around Sardinia, mountains and sea side. The mountain people are the ones that have a long life and they eat lots of goat cheese.
Both the Japanese and the Greeks on Crete Island have one element in common: iodine . The Japanese eat algae while the Greeks in Crete have the air filled with iodine.
In the West we are taught to fear, IODINE! Lied to again! The American diet is not killing people, American doctoring is what is killing people! Which is worse than American education!
@@stankygeorge But who teaches the doctors? Government schooling as not all doctor are that way. I LOVE my P.A. and would not trade him for anyone. It is also the FDA and the companies that pay them to lie about the food they pass. OH, running to the bathroom to drink my iodine. LOL. EXACTLY, we are taught to fear so they can control us.
My grandparents lived to be in their 90's. They never heard of tofu. They ate eggs and meat everyday. They had their own chickens, grew their own vegetables and never had processed food or fast food a day in their life. They didn't smoke. Rare occasions drank wine.
The TOFU MUST be made from Non GMO SOY!! Same problem with soy beans as with corn here in the US. I have a friend that swears she developed breast cancer after she began drinking soy milk.
@@brendastolecki4755 animal milk definitely has a connection with developing breast cancer. In the late 70s the formation was well available; consuming cow milk leads to 15 times increase in breast cancer in women. It was suppressed by the dairy industry so it's hard to even find the studies on the internet. Cancer incidence is rising constantly. 10 years ago the likelihood of a woman developing breast cancer was 1 in 8 now its 1 in 6. Best wishes for your good health!
Well, 4 generations of my family living here in the US has always consumed commercial cow's milk. No one in ANY of the generations through great grandmother's, great aunt's, aunt's, cousins or sisters, myself ever developed breast or ANY type of cancer. I am 65 y o.
Maybe it's not the food, but activity level. I lived in Japan and most people ride their bikes to the train station and enjoy their work. People here can't even push their grocery carts to the return points in the parking lot.
are you serious? The average life expectancy in the whole continent is just 64 and there is no a country in Africa with a life expectancy rate that can be compared with any werstern european or eastern asia country.
@@cucciolobello4751 That what you have been toldbut that is not the reality. Have you been in Africa or middle east.

In Africa no one is homeless and drug edicted people are very very low, the poor people in Africa are happier than the rich people in the west, no people hanging them selves but you don’t believe. You have been brainwashed for centuries in order to be the slaves of the system. # turn off the Tv and study by yourself
@@cucciolobello4751 Thats a load of garbage. Try going there and seeing with your own eyes instead of reading about it. Typical American Joe who thinks they know everything because of Google. Im Nigerian and can tell you what the lady stated is all facts.
Nice my main dietary intake is beans, squash, corn made into patties with sweet potato and white potato...change with cracked pepper, peas, crumbs, chopped onion or garlic, herbs etc...
In Pakistan, there's a sixth zone, it has received less coverage than other area's. It's in northern Pakistan, in the Hunza valley, if you search Hunza longevity or something similar, you'll find plenty of links.
Surprise! NOTHING keeps you young or alive! Even bristlecone pines die, and today, you are inevitably older than yesterday. Meyl loading of your CpG can be partially prevented, but each moment you are molecularly exchanging what WAS you for pieces that were someone else, virus, flatworm, redwood exhalation, cyanobacterium. We are all relatives, exchanging ourselves as food, breath, carbon. Eleven years ago, your femur, the longest lasting single part of you was composed of what are now other beings, and Melville's "empty air."
So based on where they live, they eat local food (and seasonal I believe though its not mentioned); we still eat foods that have travelled long distances, alot because they taste good and the receipes call for them but occasionally I try to consume only local. It came out there are recipes in the pible afterall.
Fats are actually good and necessary for the brain, as well as protein. There is this 108 year old black lady from Alabama or Georgia who eats hotdogs every single day!! Go figure!! Maybe it’s a stress free, get sleep society??
If you run around in sufficient circles with your hair on fire over what to eat, you may develop a lifestyle athletic enough to be healthy. And a good minestrone to you.
Much appreciate this! Been watching what I eat for a yr now AND realized that 80% of my immune system is based on my food intake...that's what diseases, disorders, episodes & of course, COVID-19 are after🎯: weakened systems to target & attack!!!

My greatgrandfather was over 100 years old when he died (just because he fell down the stairs and didn‘t really recover in hospital after that). He didn‘t eat something special. He smoked one cigar a day, had one glass of wine each day, went for a walk each day, prayed a lot, had no stress and lived with his eldest daughter. He was mentally absolutely fit until the last day.
I'm glad I came across this segment....that group of herbs from Sardinia BTW is drunk as a tea in Greece called 'Mountain Tea'. I intend to try some for the first time before the year is out
I was born poor in Toronto 90 years ago. In my opinion the key to a long and healthy life is not to eat often for entertainment. If you do, you will eat too much and drink too much. You will wreck your body. And try to think just far enough ahead to avoid falling into pitfalls: smoking, drugs, alcoholism, debt, hasty marriage, dropping out of education too soon. All of these will cause you stress and anxiety. And find some activity that will exercise your brain. An empty brain at age 16 is a sad thing to behold. But an empty brain at age 60 is a tragedy about to unfold.
I’ve been plant-based for years. 45 yo and no health problems whatsoever. I also make sourdough. I LOVE CARBS and will always eat them. I rarely eat an animal-based product. Oh and I’m not fat..
My grandpa Methusala lived to 901 years of age!!! He had a shot of embalming fluid every night before bed. It worked until his cat hid his flask before going to bed.
Just like a really smart guy said, it's not only what you eat, but what you don't eat. And I would like to add the way of life. They almost all live on islands, that is relaxed and natural, are religious, and have strong social bonds. If I eat the best food, but still go to work to be bullied by my boss, backstabbed by my colleagues, and return home to be isolated from my neighbors and exploited by my friends and family, there's still no happiness
The American Dream is certainly not all that it's cracked up to be. But since housing is so expensive here, it requires 2 jobs for some just to be able to pay the rent. Yet people continue to come here from other countries for a "better" life.
My grandfather lived till 84 with no problems until the last six months of his life when he died from colon cancer . He ate loads of fat , smoked heavily from 14years of age , had loads of sugar in his drinks , drank beer everyday and never exercised. His brother of six years younger ( only sibling ) never smoke or drank , exercised everyday and lived to 80 till he too died of colon cancer . The only thing other than luck and fate was my grandfather was the least stressed person and laid back you could ever meet .
I was born in Okinawa, was there my first year. My mother says they eat pork there regularly and put pork fat/lard in everything, also fish sauce. The man in the video left that out that detail. Also they ferment beans and eat them. Beans are much better for you when fermented or sprouted. These are essential details about their diet. Man in video talks about tofu, but not the fermented beans. The fermented beans, or natto, is much more nutritious and healthy. The Greatest cookbook in the world is “Nourishing Traditions “ by Sally Fallon. You can learn everything you need about nourishing foods from all over the world in that book, and how to make them, including fermented foods, sourdough, and why you want to prepare foods a certain way.
As a vegetarian that minestrone soup makes me satisfied in just looking at it.Cooked beans and squash are always in my table along with collard greens. But HEY, I never understood how the lactobacilos can survive the baking in the sourdough bread…
Very nice video. I see that all food displayed on the table is vegetarian: Grains, rice, corn, beans, fruits and vegetables and nuts, especially walnuts, peanuts and almonds.; exactly the food that I eat every day. I am strictly vegetarian. Also, I liked the soup that Italians made, the way it looked, very appetizing, with lima beans Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania
@@elpanderohabanero2915 Hi El pandero Habanero. All broth made from meat is rich in animal fat, the fat from butchered animals. Animal fat is not good for humans. If people consume too much fat, they will pay a price in the form of clogged arteries, high blood pressure, and heart attacks. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania
Most of the Blue Zone peoples and traditional cuisines eat some meat. But it much less than say typical diets of the US or the like. Only Loma Lima group is completely vegetarian. A little select fish occasionally, in particular, will hurt no one, but most likely help. I say select because a lot of fish is fairly to very toxic. Sardines, Wild Alaskan salmon, pollock, and cod are some of the cleanest. There are some nutrients in these fish that are hard to find/source from other sources, whether plant based or meat.
I eat raw spinach, about 1/2 cup raw almonds, red grapes,taw red onion, broccoli, garlic, avocado and red grapes every single day. I don’t know what it’s doing to support my longevity but I have to have these staples in my diet every single day
you might want to look into oxalate poisoning. It is a real thing. Spinach and almonds are the worst culprits. Oxalate poisoning causes everything from random pains anywhere in your body to cancer and heart disease. Best keep your gut lining healthy on that food. Leaky gut increases oxalates entering the bloodstream by 60% or more.
My grandfather (Mexico) lived until 92, great grandfather reached 107. Everything that was listed for Costa Rica is a basic everyday food for us in Mexico.
How would you know that? You'd have to _know_ about every research. Unless you read scientific publications / watch scientific discussions on a regular basis, you will mostly learn about knowledge from tv-shows ... which, yes, often mention new research in the context of marketing something. Talking about interesting: It's interesting how standart talking points in the US are those terrible poor people wanting government hand-outs, the virtues of free market economy ... and how one can't trust people who think that they have a right to profit off the knowledge they worked months or years for. Also: poor people are probably lazy and waiting for hand-outs, rich people are virtuous and productive (e.g. by creating a `social` network to spread gossip and misinformation), but anything that I want to have should be available for free.
Sorry, my Great Aunt in-law made it one day short of 103. I asked her and her 90 something sister what was their secret. I about fell over when she put down her knitting and told me how they ate McDonalds breakfast platters two or three days a week. She was also partial to their cheeseburgers. Well, I'm thinking it might have been something else, she had never been married and I got to see pix of her back in the 1920's, what a hot number! My guess? Walking on the wild side a little bit, and doing what she wanted with her life might have been a factor. LOL.
The exception doesn't disprove the rule, though. Since both her and her sister lived a long life, it was mostly due to genetics to begin with. The typically SAD is known for causing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and inflammation. In my culture, the typically average life span is around 70 years old because we have one of the most unhealthy diet (red meat and white rice). The only centenarian in our family never followed our diet and instead ate fruits and vegetables. He was also a farmer and grew his own food. He lived to be 102 years old.
