Vegan since his 50s, Dr. Ellsworth Wareham is a famous cardiothoracic surgeon who retired at the age of 95. He believes his healthful lifestyle contributes to his longevity, and he points to Loma Linda's Adventist Health Studies as evidence.
Dr. Ellsworth managed his optimal health by eating fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains, which means a vegan diet. Also was very importnat philosophy of life, stepping back from anxiety was another main point.

Thanks to this video I started researching the vegan world in 2017. I have seen my health improve lots from constant migraines, PMS, constipation, arthritis pain in all joints, heartburn, to name a few. So I have much to thank Dr. Wareham, and your channel.
I hope to get to 104 like he did and like one of my great grandmas. 💟
I look forward and appreciate the positivity!

He lived 6 more years after this. To be this mentally clear and physically functional at 98 years old is goals.
@@User-ef3zw You have no idea what you are talking about. what a load of nonsense.
@@User-ef3zw you are so funny pls I can’t-
@@User-ef3zw okey champ, if you think genétics is everything what a looser mentalitiy
@@User-ef3zw his parents were both 7th Day Adventists too. So there goes your genetics theory.
My grandfather lived to be 99 years old eating salted, fat pork and clabbered (fermented) milk all of his life. He was lean, drove himself around, and worked his farm until he was 95. Read the entire New York Times daily. The veggies he ate were all covered in Round Up.
No cancer.
Health is a personal process. There is no one size fits all.
*He was fertile, too. We know because his womanizing left offspring all over three counties.
He died 7 days ago, but he was 104 and still looking youthful man!!
Died of what...I thought Vegan diet solves everything, I was thinking of going vegan too??
@@kayondothomas7343 lol
You live long enough your going to die. It was appointed to mankind one to die. And after this the judgement.
Kayondo Thomas he was 104, what did you want from him? Live to 150?
@@kayondothomas7343 It's a wonderful diet, the WFPB diet, but it doesn't make one immortal. Sorry buddy.
I was a young 18 year old Hospital Orderly in the old Loma Linda Hospital, way back in 1963-4 and I remember seeing Dr. Wareham walking down the hospital corridor, going in and out of rooms checking on his patients, and I always saw a group of Medical Students, Interns, and Residents in tow. He was a VERY popular doctor, and both the staff and the patients loved him. He was a kind, and well respected Physician. I later went on to be a surgeon myself, and I always have remembered Dr. Wareham, and considered him a great role model. I am a Loma Linda trained surgeon and did surgery for 48 years. I presently am 76 and still trying to live as Dr. Wareham did. He was the ideal representative of a Seventh day Adventist Doctor. I am glad that he lived as long as he did, and influenced so many people with his Life.
Loma Linda/Redlands area has one of the highest life expectancies in California.
@@carlosr.9469 correct. Because it’s a meat free Christian community ✝️
@Michael Yea screw the Christian ✝️ part. Meatless and ahimsa is the way of life. No suffering for any living being. Christianity is a for profit business that is full hypocrisy and brainwashing.
Thank you for your outstanding testimony. Thank you for the much-needed Dr. Wareham style example to younger physicians that is so desperately needed now. God bless you sir!
Nice story!
I am now a 67 year old vegan woman! Hope to be doing inspirational videos like this when I'm 100!
What b12 do you take
I'm new
We hope so too!
Most vegans die around 70. Wont happen. He also ate fish and was not vegan
@@GarudaLegends did you even see the video ?
So cool. He has clear eyes, uses mannerisms, makes more sense than people in their 30's. Sometimes people lose that spark after a certain age.
Sierra J. And the average age now is 60-70... and why? Because we eat more meat now... just proves veganism is the way.
no
it proves you have to have it balanced
you don't need to remove meat completely
beastmasterbg sure... balance.. balancing risk of heart diesease... balance of death and suffering people cause from animal...
im 22 and already lost that spark 😩 youre right this man has a fire in him than people loose at a very young age
Sierra J. Noooo most old people sound smarter than people in their 30s because people in their 30s have a "I know everything" attitude
I can personally confirm exactly every thing Dr. Ellsworth Wareham says. I was almost killed by a heart stroke. My left coronary was 100% clogged, now there is a stent in it. I stopped immediately with all animal food and started to eat only whole vegetables, legumes, nuts, fruits - absolutely nothing from animals anymore. My heart has fully recovered in less than two years. No problems what so ever, but most important: no medicine at all needed!!! I am now 71 and still in great form.
Because the key triggers of heart strokes are cereals, you obviously chose a wrong strategy. But I don't doubt that you feel fine because your mind can fabricate whatever feelings you want.
So you used to eat a bunch of meat and nothing healthy? Obviously you had problems.
oares00 I'm so happy for you!!!!
Donald Duck Really now? Can you link those studies? The number one killer worldwide is heart disease. And your going to tell me it’s all because of cereals? Blocked arteries have been found pre-agriculture. A plant based diet is the only diet proven to reverse heart disease.
Then do u eat your vegetables with rice or bread. Or just vege, fruits nuts,
I am a 15 year old kid who is motivated after watching this video Thanks
Good for you being educated. Ignore nay-sayers and do your own research. You have been given the gift of looking after yourself and YOU are the ONLY ONE who decides what you put in YOUR mouth/body. Don't let ANYONE (parent or otherwise) tell you what you must eat. Listen to what's said, do some research and then make an informed decision. Eating WFPB is very healthy no matter what anyone says.
Emilia no way a 16 speaks like that.
@Emilia pathetic. So u believe all the game changers propaganda
@@kungfukenny8098 and you don't so eat what you want. What's it matter to you what she thinks and does with her body?
JHolden73 it’s all good. I just find it funny that veganism is based entirely on emotions and no logic
An amazing man. I know he’s right. I am no longer have chest pain or chronic pain in my legs after changing to a whole food plant based diet.
just continue like that!
WHY NOT MENTION THAT YOU WERE EATING PROCESSED FOODS?
Dr. Ellsworth Wareham was not a vegan. He ate FISH.
@@oliverram3243 The more whole plant food and the less animal flesh you put in your diet the healthier you will be. Twelve years of living this way proves that to me.
He just turned 102! Way to go sir!
John Garrett Considering his amazing vitality I wouldn't be surprised he's still alive in ten years. It seems the average age people die is going to reach some pretty ridiculous numbers in our lifetime. Provided we don't end up enduring a nuclear holocaust or something like that.
John Garrett I'm vegan aswell. What about what I said was negative? I'm confused.
Ross Catto Just proves that we were lied to from the start
This man is an inspiration. 102 and vegan. he was a cardiologist so he knows what's good for the heart.
Jaii Savage Piss off.
He is 103 years old and turning 104 this year!
He's still alive?! WOW!!!
Thank you for the update! I hope he gets to be the oldest living human

And you have her genetics?
I began a Vegan diet 5 years ago in 2017 and it has improved my over all health.
Makes the message more valuable when you hear it from an older intelligent person.
And Who lived it as a great testimonial.
RIP Dr Wareham Oct 3 1914- Dec 15 2018. One of if not the most inspiring person I have listened to. I never met him but his interviews completely changed my outlook on life. Condolences to his family. Thank you to Veggie Channel for this content.
do you know what he died of? i recently looked up what centenarians die of and its generally the usual , Alzheimer, heart disease etc,
they say the dr was lucid up until death, i live next to loma linda, wiki says its one of the 4 places where there are centenarians.. very inspiring
@@ejRecording im sure you know this, but one of the common factors among each of the 5 "blue zones" is a plant-based diet (though many people have some fish and things, it is almost always in small portions; so on average the diets in these places is very close to either a vegetarian or a vegan diet)
@@ejRecording I think eventually the body just wears out. My grandma made it close to 100. She slowly just stopped eating full meals and just ate light snacks. That is usually one of the signs that a person is nearing the end.
Thanks! Are you making that up? Cause that’s what my hypothesis is for healthy deaths, study dan winter science of A successful death- all over RUclips
and ray moody
TB1M1 really? I got a heavy heart
:( R.i.p
Ps: my life will change in 3 days because of him. I’ll be forever grateful and will tell everyone who’ll ask me how i change my eating habits that it was thanks to him.
My wife and I switched to a whole foods plant based diet (vegan) together five years ago. We are now retired at 65, and it is one of the best things we ever did for our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Within a year, my weight went from 185 to 155 and has stayed at 155, my normal weight. No more diets - we just make sure our carbs come from whole grains rather than white flour, and watch out for sugar, salt, processed foods, and oil (including olive oil). We avoid eating out except on special occasions. All my numbers are now normal - no medications except for a B12 supplement and a multi vitamin with iron. My wife was able to discontinue her blood pressure medication she had been taking for 30 years. We sleep well our skin looks clear and healthy. We seldom get colds. After a year or so we started ramping up our physical exercise and found we had an amazing amount of energy. We take a high intensity basic training fitness class twice a week, and an advanced step aerobics class three times a week keeping up with people half our age. We also do our own yard work, wash our cars by hand, have a large garden, and cut our own firewood. The only regret is we should have done this earlier in life.
awesome!!!
very inspiring, please look into prodovite by VNI, perfect blood within 5 minutes! seems to be the finest supplements available today, revolutionary absorption technology, watch this two minute video and keep looking into them, you can make money reccomending it to people, i am not including my rep info so i am not selling anything, but if youre interested let me know, i can help you.. ruclips.net/video/UsFhY92Fhv0/видео.html
I think they mean prescription/ toxic drugs.
@Lewis Blanchard
Lewis Blanchard and what about all of the medications that people who eat animal products have to take on a fairly regular basis?
i can say the same thing for myself.. been vegan for 20 yrs.. maintained the same weight throughout.. energy through the roof with 2 hrs of gym 5x/wk...strong believer that vegan is the answer to today's problems with animal factory farms, (the abuse of farm animals is abhorring), the pollution that these giant sheds cause is environmental degradation, and ppl getting sicker and sicker..however things are changing and the vegan movement has taken off.. there will be great changes!
Retired at the age of 95. Amazing man.
Right!? Imagine working until your'e 90! He must have been very physically fit to work almost thirty years after he was expected to retire :)
This idiot was not performing surgeries in his 90s. Amazing how easy you pathetic vegans believe any lie
@@kungfukenny8098 ¬ Prove your point with sources, otherwise, all you're conveying is anti-vegan rhetoric.
@@Corvid_Moon Are u stupid? What kind of fucking hospital would let a trembling 90 year old perform open heart surgery? Better yet what kind of patient would ever sign off on that? Wow
@@kungfukenny8098 ¬ Thank you for proving my point. Have a lovely day :)
He not only looks substantially mobile, but most importantly he still has an acute level of awareness. He is a good example to his fellow humans.
He looks younger than 98 wow.
***** He did not say 60. He said "Yeah I thought he was only LATE 60 early 70".
He looks to be in better shape than my 75 year old grandpa.
He looks every minute his age
what the fuck vegetables are u looking at. sure he looks old but he is alert, energised, completely mentally present, doesnt look like hes in pain...my grandparents are far younger and nowhere near as healthy
He looks healthy for his age he talk smart and he is calm. What more. He is probably healthier then 99% fat americans
A doctor and a vegan. He served so much purpose in this life. It's amazing. Respect 🙌🏻
i-am-a cloud He is amazing!
Dr Steven Lome Lifestyle Medicine - Plant Based
Yep:)
HE IS NOT A VEGAN. LISTEN TO HIM.
Obviously a smart and probably a good decent man. It sad that his genetics and 100000 different lifetime variables are ignored just to push an agenda.
@@John3_16_ boring
Ok. I am in love. In LOVE with this man. He reminds me a lot of my dad, who was a world renowned research chemist. Same approach to life. Calm. Cool. Collected. Methodical. I am so glad I found your channel! Thank you!
thank you Dr wareham for having made this inspiring video. God bless your family. A tribute to his memory, the people who have had the privilege of knowing him are very fortunate. Those types of videos contribute a lot to the quality of life of people
I tried it for 9 days. My sciatic nerve pain from my back went away. My acid reflux stopped and my joint pain in my feet stopped. I have RA and felt awesome no joint pain. Now I know its not just BS. It was hard at first but then it got easier. Forks over knives has an awesome magazine with recipes
Thanks for sharing your experience with the sciatic nerve .
Did you change only your diet ?
Also did you have any sickness or specific illness ?
wow that is amazing !!
Try celery juice, get into Anthony William s books/videos/advices. Celery juice has helped me so much with so many symptoms, also eliminating dairy and eggs and gluten whilst slowly eliminating meat.
But the celery juice isnt just a trend, it s real and it s helping so many people.
animal agriculture is responsible for 91% of deforestation and the Amazon is being burned down 150 acres every minute destroyed and if the usa went vegan it would be equal to taking 60 million cars off the road and animal agriculture emits more emissions than all transportation in the world combined
also since we feed animals more than 10 times the amount of food we take from their body and it takes 2500 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef, if everyone went vegan we could cure world hunger 13 times over
Good video, just letting a 98 year old healthy man share his decades of wisdom and knowledge with us, this man was born the year WW1 began, amazing.
This interview is a few years old. He is still alive and going strong at 101
+MsFlamingFlamer that's amazing! 🍌🍈🍊🍏🍎🍓🍑🍅🌽🍆🍐🍍🍠🍉🍇🍒🍋🍊
+Vcafr0 lol your diet pretty much determines your health, genius
Thank you very much. We have produced more than 600 videos on vegan lifestyle since we started our web-tv on 2008 😊😊
+Vcafr0 Lmao tell me that again when you die at 75.
He is so intelligent and careful. Calm, collected and passionate. What a life.
This guy is amazing and is spot on! My dad went plant based at age 74, reversed diabetes/HTN and feels great! Whole food plant based wins! Now the ACC/AHA formally recommends plant based diets to prevent heart disease! GO PLANTS!
It's not just diet. Wareham stated in other videos you cannot put age down to only diet. It is the whole lifestyle that counts in the end.
It is due to a low carb and not directly plant
great to hear that.
what else did your father give up?
did he eat everything including meat, cookies, sugary drinks, etc etc, and he went vegan, or did he not eat junk, and just gave up meat?
does he eat eegs and butter or is that not part of the vegan diet?
i’m asking these questions because there is a lot a controversy with saturated fat and having fat in the diet vs a low fat vegan diet.
the doctors i follow encourage healthy fats from grass fed animals, organic butter, and organic cage free eggs. since we are made up of triglycerides and cholesterol same as fish, it should almost be automatic for humans to eat healthy fats.
but this doctor is 98 and had all his witts God bless him.
so who do we listen to?
a lot of vegans are 100 years of age and over.
the japanese are the healthiest people on the planet and they eat rice and fish, yes?
fish is loaded with EPA & DHA, those are healthy fatty acids.
in my opinion sugar and stress are the enemies, not healthy fats.
humans are at the top of the food chain, but we are not as smart as most animals because they know what not to eat. some animals eat meat, some don’t, like birds don’t eat meat. the point is they know what to eat, and what not to eat.
dogs on the other hand will eat anything. is this because they are always hungry because they don’t have enough food, or are they just as dumb as us men.
wolves eat meat, is that because that’s all they have, but there are also greens where that are, so it’s by choice.
do we follow the centenarians?
but i’m a woodworker, not a doctor. i do know that sugar, carbs, and fried foods will bring your number closer faster.
God bless us all.
@@ginoasci2876 Sugar is the main enemy. Fat and animal food are important.
@@ginoasci2876 Birds dont eat meat ? Lol you have to see our crows and seaguls
He's healthy and no dementia whatsoever. Impressive !!💙
Cardiac surgeons are often vegan. Makes ya think...
nah just makes sence some who looks a chloesatrol cloged hearts would chose the healtyer option
So are neuro surgeons. ( brain)
Chuck Richards Still a far higher percentage than the general population though. He said often not most or all.
***** Yes that's true. But still a far higher percentage than the general population. Why are you repeating yourself and making me do the same?
***** Well that's a blatant lie.
He doesn't seem frail or lacking in energy like other 98 year olds. Good on him !
***** and has a bright mind too!
Star Cat And let me tell you: he's 100 now and still doing interviews, driving, mowing his lawn... :D
Nubert Strängel YES!!! www.foxnews.com/health/2014/12/16/100-year-old-surgeon-wwii-vet-who-retired-at-age-5-shares-secrets-to-longevity/
Alex Struk You are so wrong. Don't try to justify meat eating. A mainly vegan diet is ALWAYS the key to longevity. The Japanese people ate a diet rich in carbohydrate, low in salt and animal protein and lived quite stress-free. And you can see now, as the American diet became more and more popular in Japan the last decades, that the life expectancy dropped dramatically (!!!) (just look it up). btw: don't throw around with numbers, if you can't handle or understand them, pleeease.
Why do you need other people or so called "professionals" to tell you what to do?
These "professionals" get only a few hours of nutrition in college... (for a reason)
I mean, just research the data yourself, there are plenty(!) of studies, which you can read.
Go here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
and type in "vegan" or "vegan diet" or something related and you can find yourself all the data, that clearly shows how beneficial a vegan diet is. There are also so many RUclips Channels where you can inform yourself. I recommend: NutritionFacts.org (both a Channel and a website on its own) And btw: The president of the American College of Cardiology is a vegan! (shocking, I know)
And if it wouldn't be enough already: you would also support the planets recovery, because the farming is the main factor in the equation of environmental destruction. PLUS: Humans are not designed to eat meat. We thrive greatly on a plant-based diet, because our entire anatomy is constructed for that. (e.g. compare teeth of different kinds of animals with ours)
He was 98 when this was recorded??! He looked about twenty years younger- not to mention his cognition and awareness is stunning. RIP.
He does not look 78. Eightysomething - maybe.
he ate fish
Powerful- vegan - avoids worry - naps -- love this guy!!!!

@@John3_16_ shush
What he said about changing tastes is true. I used to eat veggies pretty much never. These days leafy greens like kale and spinach are part of my diet. If you take it slow you can gradually develop a taste for veggies like I did.
+Trans ExFeminist Autism YESYESYES...when you GET RID of salts, chemicals, sugars...and go to PLANTS, your sense of taste changes!!!! so true! thank you!
+valnaples Technically speaking you can't get rid of chemicals. Whole plant foods are loaded with chemicals. Good healthy chemicals like Carbohydrates, fats, protein, and vitamins.
Look at one of the most recent You Tube entries on Nutritionfacts.org - where Dr. Michael Greger reviews the scientific research on diet and health. He said there are more pesticides in meat and fish than in plants - which are minor. There are more neurotoxins in fish than in plants. Etc. check it out.
TeleTrans 1 me too! That's exactly what I did! Good job!
TeleTrans 1 you are so right! I try to explain to my friends this phenomenon, but they don't believe me. I am a vegetarian for about 2 years now, and I could tell you for a fact that the one vegetable I hated (onions) has become one of my favorite vegetables to use in my dishes.
My inspiration. I am 72 on my way to 98.
U LOOK 108 NOW!!!
Listen.. just aim for 73 now and see how you get on..
Calvin Leman Yo Calvin, I'm worried about you homie.. give me a *_holla back_* brah!! _(as they would say here in South Cali.)_
Calvin Leman r u vegan?
How is it going?
As a Vegan physician I would love to have known how many Vegans he had to perform coronary bypass procedures on. Having practiced hospital and critical care medicine for 20 years, I can’t recall ever admitting a Vegan to the hospital… that spoke volumes to me…RIP sir, Well Done!!
Someone also said there are no atheists in jail. If Dr. Wareham was in Loma Linda why was he doing so many heart surgeries on these vegan population type people?
While statistically probably true, you should be wary of making statements like this be because most non-vegans will dismiss it because there's %-wise not many vegans to encounter by default
RIP Dr. Ellsworth. Such a peaceful soul.
My father died of Alzheimer's Disease. So good to see a man in his 90s be so well and with complete command of his faculties. What an inspiration!
So right Dr. I was 66 when I changed from vegetarian way, began in 2000 losing 115 lbs. When I found out the chemicals hormones dye put in Salmon and what chickens went though and saw slaughter houses treatment. ( I also had a Dad that came from Farming) I have lived now almost 5 months. organic fruits vegetables gone from 175 lbs to 150 lbs. I sleep finally though the night, I want to walk every day sometimes two hours. I love fixing my meals eating the wonderful God given food. I love mushrooms and do not miss meat at all, not even chicken. I even found out there is vegan cheese. I will never change. My sons think I am a fanatic they are over weight and I know that eventually like me they will get diabeties, mine went away when i changed to vegetarian in less then 6 months. I have energy now I didn't have in 40's and do pushups daily lift weights 5 lbs but need to graduate to 10 lbs. 5 is to easy. I don't want to be a muscle woman just keep strong. I also do stretches and balance exercise daily for legs. I go up flights of stairs, I live on 8th floor in stead of taking elevator.
How is it going for you?
Diabetis comes from animal proteins.

ella hope they use even more chemicals for plants so ?? A little bit of fresh wild fish won't hurt at all mate
ella hope i eat wild caught alaskan fish and free range chicken, raw grass fed milk and beef. problem solved. better results than this guy.
Amazing Interview! Great to meet you! :)
Stay in touch Plant Based News 😁😁😁
Great to *meat* you hahahahah
@@DJAZfake funny 🙄
Absolutely incredible person! Love this story. Changing to a vegan diet 5 years ago has completely transformed how I feel. Couldn't be happier on this diet. Agree about how sensitive people are about what they eat. Has been so difficult to get loved ones near me to change their habits even after having heart attacks.
You do realize he was pescatarian right? He wasnt vegan or vegetarian. He often ate salmon in restaurants and his wife cooked all his meals with dairy such as butter, cream, milk, he just didnt drink milk by the glass
He was vegan from his 50’s! Listen to his interview here - he was saying he never liked dairy and didn’t drink it by the glass and that his mother would cook animal flesh as did his wife until his 50’s when he went completely vegan!
his eyes are clear, his teeth are still perfect and his mind is sharp
power of vegan
I had an uncle that was his age before passing out a few years ago. His mind was clear, he walked a lot, etc. And ate meat.
Wow, that's amazing. I'm 12 years old in I'm a vegan. His skin is glowing!
I only became a vegan in my 50's. You're way too young 4 that at 12.. Wait until your mid 20's at least for optimum development so you can take care of your little brother and have a long happy life:)
Dr. Ellsworth Wareham
That is utter nonsense. Her mother gets to determine what she eats. Not you.
Mary Smithson I'm just worried that she's not getting enough cholesterol and DHA omega 3 for her growing brain and collagen fibres for her teeth, bones and joints is all.. I don't mean to tread on anybody's toes.. I'm just giving my medical and personal opinion is all.. It's entirely up to these nice people whether they want to take it or not.. When I was her age I was always eating bone broth soup, fish and eggs and I think that gave me a great start in my physiological development.. Strong foundations make for strong houses:) ...
Dr. Ellsworth Wareham I think your very wrong. If you had a strong foundation on those foods you would have no need to go vegan later in life. And no one needs cholesterol from animal sources because that is all bad cholesterol, our own bodies make good cholesterol all on it's own.
AwkwardEmoticonHere Ah! let me think.. If I remember correctly from my medical school days (it's been a few years:) ), the chemical formula for cholesterol is C27H46O, whether it comes from an animal or from our livers.. There's no such thing as bad cholesterol really.. I've heard certain misinformed/misguided people call LDL bad but that's ridiculous. If you had zero LDL you'd be dead.. Dietary cholesterol, on the other hand is transported by lipoproteins called chylomicrons which are v v beneficial. The more of these you have then the less VLDL your liver has to make and believe you me young Sunny Jim, the average human liver is already overworked clearing all the glucose out of our blood because of our modern carb-heavy diets and it would much rather that you get your cholesterol from your diet..
Such an incredible man, he saved so many people by advocating for healthier lifestyles and so many animals too. I miss him, he was like a father to me :/
He looks like he's 70 yrs old! So awesome this guy is so inspiring definitely someone to look up to! ❤️ I love you Dr. Ellsworth Wareham R.I.P.
My mom's birthday today. She works out regularly with barbell squats and dead lifts. Up to 130 pounds. She weighs 120 at 5 ft 4. Her age? Put it this way- I'm 57 and she is more than 20 years older. She has been vegan for 20 years and 90% raw for 10.
She used to be one of those 'sensitive' types that Dr. Wareham mentioned. She was a hard case, but she is my mom so I kept at it. I made her meals, supervised her exercise, managed her nutrition etc. It took years and many arguments.
It was tough. Almost broke us apart. But it is my mom. People all talk about how 'difficult' it is. Or "You don't understand'. Yada yada. But at the end of the day, you can do it.
And nobody- I mean NOBODY ever looks back and says, "Hey I wish I never made this change'. They all enjoy their amazing new strength and health and freedom from 99% of dis-ease that they used to suffer from.
There are two kinds of people. Those people have systematically weakened their taste buds to the point where they THINK that they are living the good life. Then the others who do the CHANGE, put forth the effort for the required time (doing it the right way of course), and actually live the good life.
i become began one month why i have good body
Chris Califano I love hearing that, good for you and your mom. I'm really trying to inspire all my family with my vegan recipes showing how you don't need meat and dairy for food to taste good. I hope one day they'll all see the benefits like your mom did.

You're a good son.
You don't look 57! Heck, at least 27! :)
I'm in my sixth week of being vegan and I love it!

first week & feeling great!
you're doing awesome!
I'm almost four weeks in - IBS is completely gone and feeling soooo much better!! I love being vegan! :o)
I'm in my sixth year too. You go, girl.
I’m 51 and have been plant based/vegan for 8 months. I wish I would have started in my 20s. Wish someone like you could have given me this information. You are so right about people not wanting to listen. I try to tell friends and family and they look at me like I’m crazy to give up animal products and dairy. #eatplants
Me too . Meat eating such a waste of time
I just only eat chicken and drink Milk eat egg. I dont eat red meat. Do you think does it work?
@@enderbilsen915 i think you shoukd stop eating those animal products.. look towards eating a vegan lifestyle.. its going to be a challenge.. for about a month.. it was s challenge but now clear sailing .. good luck
@@ainsleyameerali7622 I also used collagen for 12 days☹️It claims to strengthen hair joints but I realized it just harmed (caused wrinkle on my face). I m 37 years old. If I stop using all these animal products, does my body still have a chance to renew itself for a healthy life?
It’s ok you’re not alone. I went Vegan at 37, wish I had turned Vegan sooner too. Never give up, you are right, they are wrong. Stop animal cruelty, be healthier and help saving the planet
This interview was so insightful. I love his calm and easy-going persona partnered with his intellect. That’s that vegan life for ya. Thx for posting!!
True 😊
He appears to me as an amazing human being….there is something so peaceful and inspiring about him.
Absolutely agree. The one thing though that I wish he would have addressed is the influence of your genes with
regard to your LDL and HDL levels. MY feeling is that some people, due to their genetics, will never be able to get there
cholesterol as low as he recommends.
Obviously a smart and probably a good decent man. It sad that his genetics and 100000 different lifetime variables are ignored just to push an agenda.
Some people inherit bad genes but the genes load the gun. Unhealthy diet pulls the trigger.
@@paulabrown5243 you ain’t wrong. Everyone thinks copying his diet will save them.
“all tastes are acquired, except for breast milk.”
brilliant. That’s all I need to hear. I want to interview this man! His voice needs to be widely heard and look at how well he looks. He has light. He is what healthy older age is supposed to look.
Unfortunately he passed away last year, 15/12/18, however his voice and knowledge is definitely heard!
Somogyi Norbert research Dr. Sebi it will change your life foreve r
This message was a blessing from the Dr.
Sounds like he was a very humble man.
I appreciate his lifestyle of being an example!!!
He said not to worry and fret . Take healthy nutrition Take life's problems in a calm way. Sleep and take naps during the day... truly inspirational
go vegan!!!!!! I got off all my heart meds after the first few months, and now vegan 4 years and feel great.
amazing
please share more details
Your awesome.
what was your proble with heart

I am awe struck here!
He just chang it

66 yrs young and plant based eating for 2 yrs now, no words could describe how good i feel and truly grateful that i reap the benefits and am more connected to Life.
🤗❤

what do you snack on, if you do?
He speaks so well for his age, a blessing as a lot of seniors begin to lose clarity in their speech as they age. Good job!
This is thoroughly inspiring! Why, oh why didn't I see the vegan light 46 years ago? I'm 47 and just ending my first year of low fat plant-based living. My mom had 5 - bypass surgery at my age and in this one case, I'd like to NOT follow in her footsteps- in every other way she is an absolutely wonderful human being- although she is convinced that I will be diabetic soon because of all the fruit I'm consuming. She is a Type 1 diabetic, as well, she's a real trooper! But I must stay the vegan course... I am already feeling some positive results! Thanks for taking the time to film this Doc! You positively shine!
Angie Petersen what about all the other old people who aren't vegan haha
You’re questioning why you didn’t do something when you were 1?
Jay chowdhury hahaha
LOL!
His eyes look so young and clear! So amazing:)
Leah Anne no they don’t lol
please don’t try to convince yourself of healthy benefits of “veganism” by things like that
Anthony C 😂😂😂 just dip bruh
I have noticed the same thing. I am not convinced about benefits of veganism (yet). I have started to live completely without sugar and other sweeteners month ago and it is awesome.
You can’t even see his eyes but ok
Yeah very visible starting at 4:34
Been vegan for ten years and finally found a compatible partner who is also vegan. Celebrating over two years together and looking at a very long and happy plant-based life.
Christmas dinner was entirely all vegan this year, thanks to the recipes I found by the Minimalist Baker, Vegan Richa, Deliciously Ella, Plant-Based Paleo, How Not To Die Cookbook, and one lone cranberry sauce recipe from Gimme Some Oven. Vegan recipes have come a LONG way in the last decade! Best time to be vegan is NOW.
What a Role Model! What an incredible Soul. I adore you Sir.
After watching Forks over Knives two days ago with my parents we cleaned out our pantry and fridge yesterday and today are going WF plant based. Big changes for us daily dairy and meat eaters, scary but exciting. After watching this I will share it with my parents. Even though he is gone now, his message and teachings will live on and keep changing lives for the better.
How’s it going with the WFPB?
Probably very well assuming it's decently planned and they don't have some really bizarre/obscure conditions
I've seen 70 and 80 year olds that look like him. Damn, he looks amazing for his age. And the fact that he retired in his 90s? Epic. Makes me feel good about this vegan lifestyle.
Amen to that !!
Most 70 and 80 year olds looks worse. He has such vitality and clarity in his eyes. Straight back and even though his skin is as wrinkly as expected you can still see it looks really clear and healthy.
Wow great looking with 98 👍👌 Im also vegan now for 10 years, best thing 👍👍👍
This video made me vegetarian 2 years ago, now working on becoming fully vegan
What a man very impressive.
Phoebe Paide Proud of you. I was vegan for 3 months and lost my way. I’m back on the right track with you :)
vegetarian for 3 years now and transitioning to a vegan diet with low saturated fats
I'd recommend at least taking as least dairy as you can.
If you see the data, almost every good factor is higher and every bad factor lower among the vegans.
It's for the extra benefits, brother.
Your body is selfish, it doesn't think about what you can accomplish when healthy, rather only about the momentarily pleasure.
And that's the source of all Evil...
do u have psychosis yet
I love this guy! I became vegetarian over 28 years ago and I evolved to vegan over 22 years ago. The best decision of my life! My only regret is that I did not become vegan when I was a child. Go vegan for the animals, for the planet, for yourself. Veganism = Compassionate Living.
Do you take B12 supplements?
Robert Caine YES!!! Well said!!!
👏😊❤
@@playerone1431 Include Spirulina and Active Yeast in your diet. That'll cover the B12. The Spirulina is good in smoothies and the Yeast in sauces.
not directly vegan but bee pollen is excellent for you too - has all the b vitamins as well as 40% protein
Who cares about looks. How many people do you know that retire at 95? And that do surgery? Wow.
He retired only becouse his wife wanted him to stay more at home :)
Sunset right!!:)
And he loved what he did for a living... how many can say that with a straight face?
I dont think he perform a surgery being 95 years old. And theres a lot of doctors who are old - dont trust them. I mean if A doctor is above 70 he mostl likely will develop some kind of demencia.
At 98 he was no longer doing hands-on surgery, but was still looking at surgical cases, & giving surgeons technical advice.
Gosh, I pray I talk like this when I am 98!! He is unbelievable!!
Yes .. and he is recalling information like a like switch ... vegan 2020 .. lets roll
thank you Dr wareham for having made this inspiring video. God bless your family. A tribute to his memory, the people who have had the privilege of knowing him are very fortunate. Those types of videos contribute a lot to the quality of life of people
What a great man. This will be me in 70 years. Practicing medicine right up until I have been in this world for a century and possibly beyond. And using a low-fat vegan diet to treat every condition imaginable.
J Van I'm curious because your comment is three years old, do you still stand by this?
He started being vegan in his mid 40s. That's very inspiring to me because I'm in my mid 40s and have recently become vegan myself, which at first I thought was a little late to start. This gives me lots of motivation to keep going.
I started. Being vegan about a year ago at age 26. Are you still on your vegan journey?
Also you play Resident Evil 4?!?
Thank you! I enjoyed every ounce of this video. Thank you for letting him have the spotlight. I felt like I was getting a health lesson!
Been vegetarian for 2 years after watching "what the health". Then started to convert back to eating meat this year... I feel like crap. Back to the veggies I go
I also reduce my consume on meat after watching the "what the health" documentary, don't feel bad, is a good thing that you are aware now!
Watch The Game Changers on Netflix too.If you want to see something Special watch Dominion on RUclips or Earthlings 👌
You are what you eat. If you eat flesh of someone who suffered, you take that into your body. Fruits and vegetables are pure nutrition.
Try searching vegan recipes, there are many amazing cooks that have re-invented the recipes, that you can make yourself. When I crave fried chicken, I air fry some oyster mushrooms - more delicious than chicken would be. You can successfully work around your appetite, in a way that is better for you.
@@toouniquetobe look www.SupremeMasterTV.com for vegan recipes
It's people like this I want to meet in life 🙏
Vegan POWER!!!
I am 34 years young and people always tell me I look 21, I´m not bragging or showing off, I´m just simply trying to tell you IT´S THE WAY TO GO!!!
@CarelessFreak It also has nutrients NOT found in any of their genetically modified fruits and vegetables, that they import from anywhere they can. Way to go CarelessFreak
you look like a baby
I'm 34 and people say I look like I'm in my mid 20s. I eat meat, but not excessively. I think it has more to do with genetics, staying active and avoiding the sun.
Loma linda! He was a Seventh- day Adventist too, in our church we learn so much about health life style and the trust in someone higher, God ❤️
Beautiful to watch him, he lived until 104 with no dementia, amazing! ❤️
WELL DON'T FORGET JESUS ATE FISH, AND ABRAHAM ATE LAMB.
@@marisanmendoza3260 but in our days these animals are full with hormones and sick, there are tons of documentaries and scientists telling about it too. And the vegetarianism was always God's plan in the garden of Eden . God bless!
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. Getting older does have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. The videos you present are very helpful.
This doctor I'll remember for a very long time of my life and make my vegan life stronger. I'am 10 months of being vegan and loving it so much!
He has amazing mental clarity at this age. One thing older people lose is the mental capacity to recall numbers, dates, names, etc. So I am truly impressed and inspired.
Then God said: “Here I have given to you every seed-bearing plant that is on the entire earth and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. Let them serve as food for you And to every wild animal of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving on the earth in which there is life, I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it was so
Amen
did he say to eat gmo crops sprayed with poison?
@@MW-qv5ox nope. That's why I don't
@@MW-qv5ox, he was talking about the plants he provides in nature, not the man-made foods sold by billionaires. You have to be smart enough to know the difference.
Should also include the verses where God says what type meat you’re allowed to eat, no cherry picking
RIP Dr.Wareham ! You inspired many many watching your incredible life story!
l am a doctor myself and must say Dr. Wareham is such an inspiration! Thank you Sir!
It's so amazing he does not look 98.. he looks like he's in his 70s ive noticed vegans look alot younger than they really are
True, he is so brilliant :)
Veggie Channel does he have books and how can I write him?
K. Nad asian ppl look very young for their age , maybe we should follow their diet as well? Oh wait they eat meat....
Graf Lennard Von Rhein-Neckar stop commenting to comment. U clearly know nothing on the subject matter of my comment.
Considering a large percentage of Asians are devout Buddhists, I'd say a large portion follow a vegetarian lifestyle out of religious obligation.
I wish we all would give more opportunity to seniors to share their knowledge. They know so much. Is so much valuable, loving and worth our time to listen to them, then most content on social media.
Thank you so much Dr. Wareham, for this very encouraging insightful talk. I have switched to the recommendations made by Dr. Ornish about 8 months ago. Although I already have two stents, I feel my future is bright and hearing your words adds to my expectations of reversing this coronary problem!. “Live long and prosper”. 😁🙏❤️
i am now cancer free because of veganism!
Lee Lee that's impossible I'm sorry😂
definitely not impossible
Dank Plank Lol?
Dank Plank your completely incorrect.alkalize your body reduce cancer risk. do some research simpleton .
annie belle my friends grandma was diagnosed with cancer and refused chemotherapy. She followed this 4-5 month vegan plant based diet and she was completely cancer free by the end of 4th month. The doctors were shocked
Best looking 98 year old I've seen.
TB1M1 RIP Doctor Wareham. Makes me wonder how much longer he would of lived if he had been Vegan from birth!, your great work is an inspiration and is a valuable legacy you left for future generations, thank you! 🌎✊🏽🌻
This man is goals!!! Life, dietary, spiritual and mental ! ♥️
This is definitely inspiring me to cut down on dairy and eggs.
Thanks hannahyep and can I just say that you are totally inspiring me to wear more woolly hats.. you are totally rocking that look girlfriend.. might be a bit warm for South Cali but, damn, I'll look good.. you go girlfriend, go Hannah, go Hannah, go Hannah!!!
maximus10463 Are you a vegan son?
Concasser LaRoux Scarlet Johansson's ass maybe or Jessica Alba's.. you strike me as Susan Boyle or Madeline Albright type of guy..
+hannahyep take soja milk... it tastes better than cow milk and is healthier as long as you don't drink more than 2 litres of soja milk daily.
Howabout shopping them ?
It has been so difficult for me to stop milk cause I love milk. i had to watch videos every day about milk, the truth, that helped me a lot, I enfer up being disgusted, I was nearly mad at myself for having watched all these videos that spoke the truth lol
103 today and still going strong... Happy birthday doc!
He died in December 2018
This wisdom is priceless❤️
😁😁😁
Amazing man. He worked until he's 95 !!! Damn. I'm inspired for life now. Plus his mind is so clear and precise, I pray that I would be so lucky
This man, comes from my area of the country. Loma Linda is known for a Vegan life. If he's talking, best you believe he's interested in real health at his age. If he's still living,he beat the odds as he made this video. Most men are dead before they reach 70.
He's a star for making this video at his,age...and a doctor at his age has true knowledge. Thank you Doctor...for this video
"MOST MEN" in the USA live to be 77.. In Europe it's 79, and Japan is 81.. I guarantee this man gets 80% of his caloric intake from grain based foods..
@rainmechanic I was agreeing but then "I guarantee this man gets 80% of his caloric intake from grain based foods.." why did you feel the need to write this? are you one of these idiots who thinks whole grains are bad for you? Besides what makes you think he gets 80 percent of his calories from "grain based foods"? I mean you really dont have to rely on grains as a vegan. Beans lentils peas potatoes fruits nuts seeds vegetables mushrooms etc but then again why would you skip grains
No, Loma Linda is not revered for vegan lifestyles. The part of town that attracted media attention for their health were primarily *vegetarian.* I've seen no official mention that even the majority of them were vegan. Make no mistake, there is quite a long way from vegetarian to vegan. Not all people that swear to not eat meat cut out animal products that have been a staple of a balanced diet for millennia.
Besides, and jeez, I'm not criticising him for it, but his advice about both saturated fat, cholesterol and (to some degree) sodium, are all outdated. There has been no empirical evidence for any of these compounds to negatively impact your cardiovascular health or risk for cancer when consumed in traditionally moderate amounts. Symptoms that were believed to be caused by LDL cholesterol have through independent research been attributed to high blood sugar. High sodium intake also haven't been demonstrated to affect anyone but diabetics. And saturated fat was just an hypothesis that fell short because of the former.
As an additional heads up, these are all ideas that are being washed out of university curriculum to make room for most robustly evaluated research.
But you gotta give it to him. 103 years and still going strong. He's gotta have done something right. I'm positive that, for some people a vegan lifestyle will bring the greatest health. For I sincerely believe that above diet, life expectancy is determined by attitude. And if there's one thing vegan people don't stress about it's a lack of connection with nature.
do not confuse caloric intake with nutrients..some idiot had a go at me for questioning their saying broccoli was high in protein...yeah, it gets its calories form protein; 40% , but it is not 40% protein!!! @@rainmechanic
I agree...eating abunch of meat is no good..and close to vegtarian is the answer as borne out by data on the blue zone..I didnt know adventists were meant to be vegan.. some say there is something about this region not just the diet... I do think vegetarian is the way to go..compassion...connection... health...@@___xyz___
Absolutely wonderful. He will turn 101 years old in March, wow!
Huh? His birthday is 3 October.
Exactely! :)
I was vegan for 18 years and suddenly became seriously ill. I had all the great symptoms of vitamin D and B 12 deficiency. I had to start eating unprocessed animal products and in 3 months I regained my mental and physical health.
/r/thathappened
Vegan for 10, ended up with hormone issues, blood sugar issues, etc. Animal foods heal.
You should eat all vegetables
Yeah because animal foods are necessary for health. This video is brainwashing so many people
Super excellent update. Those who go through this will be benefitted a great deal.
This glorious man was highly influential in my decision to become Vegan after watching the brilliant Forks over Knives. It’s the best decision I ever made. So many pluses including less expensive. People always ask me where do you get your protein from and I always say where do you think your protein gets protein from. Dr Ellsworth is so right that we can advise people on emotional and physical well-being but try telling them about food. LOL. My taste buds have changed for sure. I look at meatballs one of my favourite things and the desire has gone. It’s incredible.
Lady In Van e-ventures [LIVE] Australia Hi there, where can I find this video? Is it on netflix? Really want to watch as so many vegans cite it (I am vegetarian but want to switch, just nervous to do so at 6 months pregnant). Thanks in advance!
Halley H Hi there. I think it is on a Netflix. It will certainly be on Apple Movies I’m sure. I’ve watched it twice. Good luck.
Also as an RN with midwife experience I don’t think it will be harmful to you or your baby to go vegan but there can be side effects like really dry skin for a while. Mine was almost reptilian but now is softer than ever and also a major thing for you I guess is you can become very tried for the first month of the transition and then you have more energy than ever and more mental clarity. It’s quite amazing really. I also lost 5kg without even trying. It is a tough one for you having a new baby around and being tired is not optimal. However, the fact that you are vegetarian already it may not affect you as much as it did me. My main meat of choice was chicken and there is so much artificial garbage in expanded chickens which I feel along with dairy made the biggest changes to my wellbeing.
Halley H I also recommend Dr. Joel Fuhrman's books, including Eat to Live and/or Fasting and Eating for Health
I hope to be a 98 year old vegan one day.
moonman_Z do it now!!! ;)
I am going to be a 105 year wfpb someday!
Not vegan but youl be a 98 year old virgin!
Haha same if the world isn't too fucked by then
You can do it💜
May he R.i.p. I agree eating vegetables fruits beans lentils fava,nuts some grains are very very good ,staying active and staying calm will help.Im from the island of Sardinia where the older people reach over 100+ years, I can say that we consume dairy and meat also wine, we eat meat in moderation maybe a few times a month, vegetable and fruits meats that we grow ourselves, we only make homemade food,takes some time but is all worth it, also we don’t use microwaves and are mostly around the green environment, and the older family members stay inside our homes until the end of their life,everything in moderation.also in the island we are not running stressed on the clock,we don’t look constantly on our watch, you feel the calmness as soon as you step on the island.we also need peace in our soul . I’m 32 years old and people say I look like 18-19 let’s hope It can stay that way😊, I advise you to eat clean more organic and Stay active also take time to relax, may God Bless you all
imma p I'm 31 from the island of Haiti . I just start my vegan diet and my family . I have never felt so strong and healthy . My skin is looking better than ever . We all can do it for our health . Food is not like it used to be . GMO hormones pesticides harming our health

Sardinia is a blue zone island like Ikaria island in Greece.We too eat Mediterranean style meals.Home grown ingredients mainly.
A few weeks after increasing My plant food intake My entire body improved.
I feel encouraged to go further 😊👍 🌻😊
tell us how things are in sardenia now
I'm very impressed with this man. He is very informative and a very interesting vegan man. Thank you for your interview .My grandson is vegan. Thank you. I eat mostly vegetarian.
from today no more meat,eggs milk etc....i will join you guys in your Vegan club:))
i am joking,do you think i can do that?..i eat eggs every morning too:)))
***** I believe that you can do whatever you put your mind to.
***** LOL trollin hard
Most vegans go well out of their way to avoid anything tested so your generalization is off base. Further it takes 16lbs of grain to make 1lb of meat. 80% of all farm land is used to grow crops to feed animals for meat. Meat eaters do vastly more damage to the natural habitat.
***** Your principle is "not avoiding unnecessary harm"? "Cause unnecessary harm and don't think twice about it"? That is better? Criticizing people who go out of their way to avoid unnecessary harm is easy? I am lost to find your point.
To clarify: He stopped *operating* at 74 but continued working for another 20 years by training residents. He looks and sounds amazing! Thanks for the video!
Best looking centenarian I've yet seen. I find it sad when interviewers talk to centenarians as though they're children. No one would talk to this man like that.
