I appreciate the description of blue zones but there are some benefits to eating a little bit of meat. Don't try to represent blue zones and ignore how 5% of their diet is meat. It's beneficial for our body.
What are these supposed “benefits”? We do not have the biology to consume meat. We have the physiology of a frugivorous being and certainly not of a meat-eater. Long digestive system, teeth equipped for consuming fruits and tender greens, and most of all, we develop atherosclerosis/heart disease for consuming animal flesh. NO meat-eating creature on this Earth develops disease from eating it’s species specific diet. A panda does not develop heart disease from eating “too much” bamboo. A lion does not develop heart disease from eating “too much” prey. A gorilla does not develop heart disease from eating “too much” greens and leaves. If we are meant to eat it, there is no way to eat “too much.” And science has shown that it is physiologically impossible for us to eat too much fruit, physically it is not possible. Just like every other creature on this Earth and it’s species specific diet.
Using a pressure cooker that has a rubber seal on the lid could end up with micro plastics in the food. Fiber needs water to work so maybe boil food rather than microwave. Should be ok to boil food in the microwave.
Ayurveda is a overly complicated system and can just use the simple rule of Dr Bill Harris (vegetarian society of hawaii): if it has 0 fiber, do not eat it. The only exception are some supplements that vegans need like b12. All animal products have 0 fiber. Refined substances like oil also has 0 fiber. Juice has lost most of its fiber.
It is almost impossible to achive 75% fats from pufa, because the majority of food even vegetables and seeds have 50% pufa as fat percentage at the best. You will end up eating flax seeds with vegetables only to achieve that. Also 5g of omega 3 and 25g of omega 6 still too much for omega 6. Avocado is mostly monounsaturated fat, with very little PUFA, so if you eat at least one avocado per day, forget about 75% fats from pufa. There are errors in calculations.
i will alwys eat meat....maybe a piece of fish every week or a lamb chop...i have ethical problems about this...but im sure a million years ago we ate fish and maybe a bit of rodent or meat whenever we could get it...i expect we used to eat a lot of fruit...and not many grains...grains are hard to come by if you dont have farming....
Thank you, Dr. Marz for this important contribution. I learned a lot from this video.
Wow this is amazing, probably the best nutrition video I've seen.
Easy to get selenium from mushrooms and there are also brands of mushrooms with vitamin d.
annatto powder is a good source of vitamin a.
The blue zones diets were low in animal products but they were not vegan.
I agree with you on this one. Just small amounts of animal protein here and there...
After listening to this talk, the attendees cooked blue zone diet for 2 days then after that go back to eat the bloody burgers

Not at the expense of the planet.

Natto is a source of vitamin k2, altho most people should be able to make vitamin k2 from vitamin k1.

Twinlab brewers yeast is a good source of b vitamins and chromium.

Dr Michael Greger recommends cyanocobalamin (b12) rather than methylcobalamin bec cyanocobalamin has more studies.
