Actually, diet is only part of it. The one thing that all of the blue zones (and Vilcabamba, Ecuador - another unlisted blue zone) have in common is their temperature. Typically between 50 F - 85 F throughout most of the year. People go without a/c or heat. So, they are often chilly. Chilly is good. It boosts the vitality of the mitochondria in peoples' cells. Those are the little batteries that keep the cells working well and helping cells to divide consistently. Another factor for longevity is that people in all of those blue zones are active. They work outside. Taking in the vitamin D, intermittent fasting, and they are breathing fresh air. So, yes, diet is important. But, the environmental and occupational/activity aspects I just mentioned play a significant part, too.
I already eat a mostly whole foods plant based diet (I don’t eat meat at all). For the past 15 years I was a pescatarian. I became a pescatarian because I wanted to be in the best health possible. Recently, my wife and I viewed the documentary, “Game Changers”. At that point, she decided to go from a Omnivores diet, (with many vegetarian and vegan meals) to a total vegan diet. I did the same because it wouldn’t have been a big switch for me anyway. Thus far, it’s been a great journey, and your channel has helped to inform me on the way. Thanks.
Funny how other environmental factors are present with these very rural places. No distress of city life for those people. No need to be 100% vegan. 98% is enough, and that’s still an A.
This was an excellent video. It inspired me because i surround my self with an excellent social circle who both inspire me and i inspire them. I recently became Vegan {mostly} and it changed my life. Not long ago was diagnosed with dangerously high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. In just under a year i changed that and so much more with a whole food plant based diet. For 25 years i suffered chronic pain. sometimes i could barely walk.......no more. I dont have type 2 any more or pain or high blood pressure and i feel so good i can go to the gym and work out. A whole food plant based diet changed my life...........Just like my friends. One World=One Love
Magdal3na M. Omg 🤦🏽♀️ did you not see the video? Do more research like game changers on Netflix. We have no omnivorous instincts, sharp thick nails (claws), short intestines, extremely good sense of smell, sight, and hearing. If you put a baby in a crib with an apple and a bunny they won’t eat the bunny. Bears are omnivores and gorillas are herbivores you can’t convince me that I’m more simpler to a Bear rather than a gorilla. Gorilla and humans even have really similar blood types. The only reason why humans started eating meat in the first place was because of what our ancestors saw carnivores do, it wasn’t by instinct. We can’t even eat raw meat without getting sick and even when we cook it it still causes problems over the years. That’s why heart disease is the leading cause of death. I’ve seen people on multiple medications for heart disease and they were able to get off of them just by eating a plant based diet. So explain to me how a burger is more healthy then fruits and veggies? Cause I honestly don’t understand your clam. It’s funny how we actually give scientific evidence and tests about a plant based diet and y’all still don’t understand.
@@FunnyValentine anyone that watches the game changers and recognizes it as the truth is actually breaking away from the system built to keep us sick. People who have not are the slaves.
I appreciate the video. One thing hurts all of us today, and that's the change to society because of the virus. Socializing is largely taken away. Hopefully, it comes back soon.
As a vegan and spiritually and for Gods, the universal essence energy, creation cannot bare atrocities around the world. Any living being, human or otherwise, nor abuse and neglect planet.. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

@@angelinamangless9536 those videos are vegetables commercials. Not science. If we are a plant eaters then go try tu survive in a woods "like our ancestors" without modern agriculture. Try to find wild bananas, tomatos, avocados, brocolli, peanutbutter, paprika etc. in a distance of 50km. Look around you. Nature is your teacher. Gorilla eats leaves, horse, cow grass. If u will live only on leaves and grass for 3 months then i will quit meat and join your tribe.
aim for 120 settle for 115 . my goal is growing as much of my own food as possible in my food forest and freezing and canning what i can for the year so far in my first year I am successful. pure real organic just pick it and eat it is awesome
‘Meat’ used to mean ‘food’. If you look at the word for food in Scandinavian languages, it’s still similar to ‘meat’. Germans, on the other hand, simply say ‘flesh’. That is a problem with old holy texts; there is so much room for mistranslation due to changing and multiple definitions.
Some of the Seventh Day Adventists are vegan. The Adventist 1 and 2 studies comparing them to other SDAs has been very interesting. For example, the only dietary group among the SDAs that has a BMI average in the recommended range is the vegan group.
@@magdalenavegan You should put a wink emoji after such a ridiculous comment. Veganism is a lot farther from cannibalism than being an omnivore. A whole food plant based vegan diet has reversed the symptoms of a lot of people with type two diabetes. Vegans have lower rates of diabetes and other chronic diseases than omnivores.
@@magdalenavegan Here is supporting evidence from an unbiased well known source devoted to helping diabetics. "Most studies report the lowest risk of type 2 diabetes among individuals who adhere to vegan diets. This may be explained by the fact that vegans, in contrast to ovo- and lacto-ovo-vegetarians, do not ingest eggs." spectrum.diabetesjournals.org/content/30/2/82#:~:text=Most%20studies%20report%20the%20lowest,vegetarians%2C%20do%20not%20ingest%20eggs.

Will you be trying a plant-based diet to increase longevity?
I am already a vegan and i love the lifestyle
@@marco_pantani_vegan7301 Seconded. Love it.
I'm practicing veganism to increase the longevity of animals.
@@traymis Yes, that's what veganism is all about: the animals, our sentient brethren.
@The Horny Vegan's Little Brother How? What's not to love about the lifestyle? I have never felt more free and content in my entire life.

One day you gonna understand what veganism is
I have been vegan for a number of years for moral reasons, but longevity would be a nice pay off for me (:

No one will from this generation pass not even 80 we will die at 40

It goes to show you 98% vegan is enough. I choose to be “at home” vegan. I just happen to be at home a lot in 2020.
Rarely do you see meat eaters living this long. It's in the plants!
Meat eaters live longer, real meat eaters, not those people 60 - 80% based on plants.

@@angelinamangless9536 do you call meat eaters those people who eat meat along with bread, pasta, sweets, junk food, veggies, alcohol etc?

@@angelinamangless9536 Yep, (if you based that with evolutionary theory) even the primates are omnivores, but they still eat plant more.
They eat mostly fish, with close proximity to fresh food, so no proccessed food.
I have always been fascinated by the Blue Zones!
aim for 120 settle for 115 . my goal is growing as much of my own food as possible in my food forest and freezing and canning what i can for the year so far in my first year I am successful. pure real organic just pick it and eat it is awesome
Elephants: Lovely, emotional empathic beings, very strong and big😊🤗🤩💞💖💗
Curious how long someone would live if they ate mostly fruits, since fruits have higher antioxidants
Too much of anything is a bad thing. When it comes to whole food items its best to have a variety of choices betweenthe 5 food groups.
they age like rotten apples
Ask Steve Jobs.
Awesome 👌 👏 👍 information on healthy foods and healthy 😋 living
Vegan for The Animals-Very interesting video as always Jodi & Team:)))) Jenxoxox!
Veganism kills more animals than all slaughterhouses combined
@@magdalenavegan I believe it....
@@LyntzbartzkyPerez common sense.
I hope you realize the Blue Zones are not vegan. I follow it also. I eat plant-based, but I don’t mind eating cheese and honey sometimes.
Hi, love this video, can't help noticing the relationship to the equator as well as the lifestyle? not to minimize diet.

Thank you!!!!
Are all the bluezones still in existence . I know loma linda is
are there any other races there that settle and adapted that diet abd live as long .
Wonderful
Ikarians also drink lots of wine.
I got an ideas why people live longer when they eat more plants base food .
Imagine if they went 100% vegan.

Looks like it’s equatorial. Lots of sun.
Pakistan is not one of the blue zones nor is Georgia. The only ones are: Japan, Costa Rica, Italy, Greece, California
Magical plants 💪😊👍
Go Vegan !
The Regenerative and Human Ageing Science FB group brought me here!
So what I need is friends and beans? got it.

I am
❤️
So being vegetarian is enough. No need to be vegan.
We should make blue zones more diverse. We need a carnivore blue zones.
That would be impossible since all the populations that eat that way die early
Like, rwalls Ky
Too many adds!!!!!!
If u read the bible, people live for 300 to 900 years old. Nowadays, if I live for just a 100, people put u under the microscope
The voice of this Sheila is horrible. It’s too robotic and not the first time she’s turned me off videos with that voice
I bet these people would live to 200 if they stopped eating all those poisonous fruits and vegetables.... hahaha
He looks terrible, plants are aging you and making ugly
