Living longer is wonderful. However, when I was yoing I thought being old and wrinkled was terrifying. Now that I am 78 years old and my mother is approaching 99 I have changed my mind about an old age. I never eat in restaurants, I do not drink and never had. I danced since highschool and during my whole life. Not professionally but in many dance studios around Sydney. I am 52 kg and 163 cm . Origi ally from Czechoslovakia. I learned how to cook with basic vegetables and seasonal fruit. A child of socialistic upbringing, big family and many friends and a lot of sport. I combine my food better than my mother as I had biology zoology physics chemistry in my studies. My first exposure was to Pritkin diet, than vegetarian diet, than mixed diet. However formany years I only eat two meals. If I want to sin I willhave almond cashews brazil nut shake before going to bed. I am adicted to this podcasts more than reading good crime stories. I dance Latino 💃 rock and roll, vogue and do 20 min yoga. Thank you so much for these podcasts as they somehow confirmed what I always believed about how to feed this incredible machinery that makes me live and walk this planet.
Only my family thinks I am crazy, but finally it no longer bugs me. 😂
I'm also addicted to this podcast and I am in the process of changing to a 2 meal day also with a longer fasting period. You are not crazy, I think you sound amazing!
Great to read this. Ahoj from the Czech republic 🤗
I agree with everything you said and all you do. I am also from Czechoslovakia, living on the Gold Coast, just turned 70. Čau!
I'm in Sydney too and grew up in a socialistic family too (as you put it so nicely). For me, I can never think of being religious in any way except for the issues which are morally very important to me: things like justice for our indigenous peoples, and activism about wars, currently supporting Ukraine and trying to get politicians to withdraw funding to the genocidal government of Israel. Activism around wars have been solidifying among four generations of my family starting with WWI (the International Workers of the World), WWII, Vietnam, Palestine over five decades, against the coups in Greece, Chile and Argentina, Timor Leste, Iraq, until most recently Ukraine and the ever present genocide of Palestinians and the current and looming refugee crises. Sometimes I have friends who agree with me, but mostly not. My activism feels like my religion,😮 although my way of participating has changed sometimes to include socially useful donations for food for children and medical care for refugees. I financially support food for children in the Horn of Africa, for example, in what is a complete round circle of being berated by my mother for not eating her cooking as a child (it was terrible food) while children were starving in Biafra (now Nigeria). My sadness is that I have online friendships now because no one is as politically active as I am at my age. I'm incensed at how easily people pick up Trumpian politics and assume they have the right end of the stick because that's what the right wing promulgates here in Oz. I'm a gardener but fear the housing crisis which denies housing for our children and therefore the possibility to garden. Community gardens are wonderful but my children spend too long at work to participate. So, I have garden plots for my great grandkids which is a bit distant.
It's complex to generate meaning in our society. The onset of the digital age in the 1990s has totally transformed our social life and it has commodified our ways of functioning. Some are good, but by far the majority of consequences are far from good.
I love you! You are an inspiration! I am 163 cm and 52 kg, I practice yoga and Pilates daily and eat a vegan diet. However I am only 42 and look forward to many many more years, being inspired by people like you!
Dan Buettner is a fantastic communicator of some simple truths, eat simple foods, remain active, live in a community.
No one in this video has any credentials. You should only get diet advice from a real Ph.D in nutritional biochemistry with awards and honors and or a Nobel Prize such as as Roger J. Williams, Frederick Gowland Hopkins, Fred Kummerow, George H. Whipple, William Parry Murphy, Edward Adelbert Doisy. All 6 would say that that Dan Buettner a man with no MD or Ph.D is just a book salesman.
@@StanDupp6371let me guess...you only get your facts about current events from 'reputable' news outlets like CNN, NBC, ABC and Fox? I can tell you're quite smart and intelligent (not).
@@TV-wy1py You can keep guessing since you don't have the facts to provide. There is no such thing as Blue Zones as it is a made up word by Dan Buettner, a man with no MD or Ph.D, and not a scientist and no credentials in healthcare. Wikipedia says he is a storyteller. Santa Claus was also a storyteller. As a slick and clever businessman Buettner sold his Blue Zones business LLC to the Adventist religion money making business for 78 million. The Blue Zones book is not accredited by anything as far as reliable information goes.
The number one thing that take years of my life is the “coming up” segments that almost all channels use. Why not start the video without it?
It's called a hook. I hate it
I agree. This channel has recently started this annoying practice, and the opening of this episode is amongst the worst examples.
@@ChefJollyRogerSo do I.
While I agree I think it's important to note that it's less than 60 seconds of an hour long video and it highlights most of what they're going to talk about in depth, and it's 100% skippable and marked. Additionally it's taken you more time to write that comment than it would've to skip it.
@@Sean_Shaun_Shawn there is value in criticism. we like Zoe and we want it to be better. "just ignore what you don't like" is not a good way to live.
I'm so glad I grew up in Europe and still live here, as walking is natural to us. I walked to school my entire childhood. I've lived in places where I walked to work and back. At the weekends, we will visit local towns - park the car and then walk around... then last year I started going to the US several times per year for work and I discovered that (apart from in New York), you can't walk anywhere! It's quite shocking.
The best thing I heard on this episode was when they were talking about Sardinia, and saying that up until the 1960's a large part of the diet was based on bread and cheese - now that's my kind of diet!
My ears perked up at that bread and cheese diet too!
I have a friend who moved to America and said that walking there was not normal. He said that whenever he walked anywhere car drivers would stop &/or stare at him, so he thought about making a sandwich board with the words "Keep your eyes on the Road!" 😂
@@annteather2826 Mirrors my experience. I walk an average of 6 miles per day which is mostly to the gym, getting any groceries and walking the dog and I've never considered that very much but a couple weeks in Florida and I barely saw a person walking around the neighbourhoods and I got stared at and nearly got run over trying to get to the nearest convenience store because the infrastructure is so incredibly favouring cards it's actively hostile towards foot traffic in some places that walking around is seemingly quite rare.
Yes, i am a british walker and spent a year in the states - NO pavements anywyere. People just drive to the next parking lot. I nannied for a family and their husky dog didnt know what walking was when i first arrived. I took her on lots of lovely jaunts through the wooded countryside.
Brilliant podcast. Food for thought 🙏
Absolutely fascinating. New goals: get new friends, throw out the toaster, grow a garden.
Discover faith.
@lea9857 Yes, but which one is objectively correct?
@@paulsyms2142 that’s the million dollar question !
I am a stay at home mum of five who I also home educate. Although I have a daily structured yoga and Pilates practice, and meditate and pray (I have a Christian faith), I suspect it is the running up and down stairs, cleaning floors and toilets, chasing toddlers and climbing to the top floor to elicit communication from my teenager that keeps me just as fit as the yoga and Pilates. I rarely sit down and never watch telly - I have no time or interest for it. If I get a chance I read a book for five minutes! Mostly I am constantly busy 24/7 doing what I believe is my calling and what gives me real meaning and purpose - caring for my children and husband to the very best of my ability and investing in them with love and authenticity. All this makes me wildly unpopular with most people who seem to think my lack of “progressivity” is a sin, that I have made poor choices or that I am stupid (I am university educated but feel it was a waste of time!)….. however what I see is that we live simply and honestly and healthfully and have better health as a result.
It is your choice how you organise and live your life.
Follow yourself believes. The time you are allowed to spend on this Earth and how you manage it belongs to you only
The Italians call it "cocina povera" or poverty food. Meat is an expensive treat for special occasions and holidays so the saturated fat in the diet is lower. Gardening and especially foraging leads to a high vegetable content at low cost.
My mom's cousin's husband will be turning 100 in April and he is a retired Dr. and still going strong. He has always been active. He is also not afraid of hard work, not only being a Dr., but owning a pig farm and working on that farm too. He has always and still does, consume a very clean diet and lots of grassfed meats and wild caught fish with lots of fresh lemon.
I live in the south of Sweden and our cities are designed more for bikes and pedestriants than cars! Even comuting from the suburbs are made with bikes on special bike roads. A sort of highway for bikes. I think it is brilliant!
I'm planning to move to Sweden, particularly the suburban areas. Could you give me an idea of what the daily weather is like there? Additionally, is it true that indoor living is more prevalent in the north, as mentioned in the video?
Here in the UK the councils and government are trying to get people out of their cars and ar incentivising us with ridiculously high priced public transport and no cycle lanes even in new build areas. In other words they're a bunch of useless gits who just want you immobilise us for the 15 minute (open prison) cities that are coming. Not in my town they ain't! The Union with Scotland 1706 Act, Article IIII says they can't!
In my family everyone on my fathers side got to be over 90. In 1979 we celebrated my fathers grandmothers 100th birthday! For me as 19 year old she was a fabulous woman. Clear as a sunny summers day and she had an eighty year old boyfriend 😊
I signed up for Zoe 12 months ago. I would counsel some care should you be considering the plan. My blood, fat, and gut biome have changed from good to less good, according to Zoe, during the 12 months, this is because they are learning all the time. Now that's a good thing, but it's not so special when you think, a year ago they were professing their expertise. The second point is that as a Brit I do find the American style of advice and interaction a little childish, I find this over-enthusiastic approach off-putting, I think it stems from a need to please and overly praise. Finally, I did watch my Calories and later my protein intake. I know their mantra is calories don't matter, but for me they do. Post-exercise soreness increased until I looked at my protein intake, it had dropped to 60 gr, a healthy level for me is around 175 gr per day. So if you are going to spend £500ish on the program, make sure you pay attention. Am I going to continue, no, do I recommend it to friends, generally no, unless they have a pretty good understanding of this before they start. Good Luck!
As an American I find their enthusiasm off putting too.
Also I live in Sweden and garden all year round! There is always things you can do outside. Whenor if you have snow then you ski and skate. Play a form of hockey but with a ball! We have a saying in Sweden; There is no bad weather just bad cloths ( beeing badly clothed for the weather)
So true. I came from a walkable town. Now I live in NC,a driving culture. I am on waiting list for Sr Housing in the North with sidewalks. this constant driving is terrible for people and the environment.
Thank you for this talk! Mindfulness, slow-living, friends and family and simple foods
Another helpful podcast, thank you!! Where's the minestrone recipe? Hoping you'll pop this into the show notes as promised.
Loved the series, loved this show. Simple message of eat well, move well, think well.
Where’s the minestrone recipe? I’m hungry to live longer! 😊
Excellent podcast! No silver bullet, but there's so much that can be (or needs to be) done!
Terrific podcast, please give the minestrone recipe😊
Can we get the Minestrone recipe, please?
Good information. At 74, I spend 6 hours a week line dancing with others age 55--80+. We have been doing this for three years and have become close friends. We socialize in other ways as well. Most of us are conscious of what we eat because we want to stay healthy and light enough to line dance. Most are also believers in Christ Jesus and attend church and church activities regularly. Our meditation naturally revolves around the Bible and prayer. And, several in our group, including me, happen to love gardening and going on home and garden tours. I live in East Tennessee which unfortunately has a high obesity rate.
Tim is a professional in the field. I like Dan because he symbolizes us average people who are a model for us. He sees how people are healthy around the world. Dan sees that being active in their community (instead of being a rugged individual), He has maintained his health is by curiosity, his diet, spirit, his physical activity (garden, walking, excise, community). I'm glad Dan told us about the blue Zones. I hope schools (grade school, high school, college, seminars, online education etc.)
The most important thing is to be happy regardless your circumstances which is to do with mindful caltivatio and how not to react to anything that is happening around you! Thank you for this very insight full discussion.❤
Another point is the devastating effects of worry. Most of the anxiety people experience is of their own doing. Worry is the excessive concern about future negative events or circumstances that are speculative at best.
Thank you. Loved the conversation.
I live in Westlake Village, CA which was designed by a landscape artist. He put meandering trails between houses and neighborhoods and there are people out walking all the time. One of my walking buddies was out walking by herself one day so we just paired up. Also I LOVE Silver Sneakers which pays for gym memberships so I can go to water aerobics 4x week which is so safe and good for you. It doesn’t hurt my knees and I can’t fall down.
Where can I find the minestrone recipe? Another fabulous episode, liked again..
Thank you for the great information. Cheers
I really like the ideas expressed here. Developing healthy habits that fit naturally into your life style is good advice. Spending time with friends who enjoy an active lifestyle rather than those who like to sit around eating and drinking has worked for me.
Simply a great discussion and thanks for sharing!
Super interview & some great tips & snippets from both Dan & Tim. 👍👍
I would like that minestrone recipe please
When will get the recipe for Dan’s minestrone
For Your Action: "[00:55:08] Jonathan Wolf: Yeah. We'll call it the The Dan Buettner Minestrone, and we will definitely share it".
I loved this discussion. I'm getting so much value from the ZOE podcasts (and loving my new kefir habit and 30 different veggies per week).
Really looking forward to learning to make Dan's minestrone - please share it
AMAZING episode
Thank you this was so interesting 🤗
Fantastic conversation with lots of great information. Blue zones are definitely an interesting set of groups to learn from.
I love your work and this podcast. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'd be really interested to learn more about aspects of digestion outside the microbiome: chewing, how the stomach works and how we can help it, same with the "small intestine". How to manage these areas to maximise the health of our gut microbiome and thereby get maximum benefit from what goes in one end.
Maybe get Dr B to share his wisdom about the digestive system as a whole. Maybe it's a series, maybe out of scope.
Cheers from Western Australia
Another amazing episode!
I have to confess that your channel is continuously helping me learn very interesting new things and then tell my patients ( I work as a doctor in Madrid, Spain) and my Spanish RUclips followers ( I have a RUclips channel too)
Thank you very much for all the amazing job you all are doing!!!
👏👏👏👏👏
Very interesting about Locus of Control - feeling in control of your life, not a victim... being a big factor in longevity.
Like 989i898999899989⁸⁹ppppp⅞p0
Thanks Guys for another great podcast. I however have a 😢 sad face as I was listening to a radio interview with Tim Spector who grew up in Melbourne and said that Zoe will still be about 2 years away from coming to Australia. How ever I am following all the information and doing the cooking and fasting and have lost weight and got more energy so thanks for that but 😢 Please come sooner to Australian. Beat wishes Linda
Gardening = hopeful...you take pride in planting...delight in the result..and a bonus eating something delicious and then sharing that edible item...all looking forward motion..wonderful!
love this
It was a great video however no suggestions for people that are chronically disabled. We can't keep a garden, walk all day long, and cook meals that involve long preparation.
Can you do yoga?
@@brucejensen3081 no sir I have rheumatoid arthritis and it has crippled me. Tried plant-based, juicing, all the claims that say fights inflammation. The disease has taken its toll I try to eat right.
There're several things you can still introduce, including growing food, if not gardening- some of the best sauces and meals I've ever put together started with a selection of herbs left to grow on the windowsill.
@@Sean_Shaun_Shawn thank you for your suggestion.
this is going to be SO interesting to hear!! Thank you guys for doing such an important job 🙏🏻❤️🩹
In the centre-south of Italy we used to have minestrone in pretty every towns and cities, good to hear that 😊
Not all suburbs are the same! I live in a suburb south of Boston. Very walkable, with walking paths, easy to walk to coffee (I gave that up), drug stores, a downtown with shops, two old shoe factories that are now Artist studios. You see people walking dogs (including me), on the walking paths. I have both veggie and flower gardens all over my yard. I work in Cambridge and find time to walk the neighborhoods near where I work. If you want to walk, where ever you live you can find somewhere to walk!
We have a place in Sweden were people live very long and mostly healthy lives! So not true that you can’t be in the north!
Thank you, very interesting, makes sense ...
Obviously there is a lot more to this subject than was briefly discussed here.
I wonder how important some of the " left outs" are ... like, probably people living in these healthy Blue Zone communities .. eat mostly seasonal foods, dont use pesticides or preservatives, take very little sugar, very little alcohol, dont smoke ...
Fascinating info. Thank you again for another brilliant talk. I wonder if you read these comments...i have a question for you Jonathon. Would you discuss with your digestive guys the Blood Type Diet? Wondering about the validity, the research and efficacy.
Really enjoyed this podcast. I am of Greek heritage and I try to eat well. I have a very rare genetic disposition to cancer ( one of 17 people known worldwide 2018) I’ve had 4 cancers in 8 years and I pretty much try to eat as you suggest
So sorry to hear about your condition. To live from day to another day will be your motto.
We all live with something or something developing inside.
Just be positive and keep your mind occupied. All the best.
I am a retired GP and remember a conversation with a local consultant physician who said that if you look at the really elderly population there are a very small proportion of them who are obese. In my 40+ years in practice in a working class area there had been a massive increase in obese children. This implies that a generation of children will possibly die before their parents!
Sardegna 🇮🇹 best place.Many over 100 years old
Dan & Tim: I'm a Vegan, I go to the gym & also I walk up stairs, laundry my close, I dance, my faith is being a Vegan meditating etc,
Counting our steps is a great movement (exercise, time, garden, work around the house etc.)!
Hi, you promised us Dan's minestrone recipe, will you still be sharing it? Thanks!
Gave up meat generally after prostrate cancer … then became a veggie 2 years after woods , only had small non veggie after prostrate cancer , ….7 years clear feel a lot better more energy etc
Fascinating information. I’m surprised Dan didn’t mention the fact that Lamb, Veal and Wild Boar are also traditional old Sardinian countryside staples, in the inland areas of the Island.
That's because he's vegan biased
@@carlvanmeerbeek7327yep, another undisclosed vegan on Zoe.
The idea of a Sabbath or a Sunday or a Juma (the Friday) in Islam too as a day of rest or family day that the speaker interestingly chose not to mention or was possibly ignorant of. Prayers in Islam can be both congregational and individual where one breaks up the day with 5 short periods of rest, self-reflection, meditation and quiet. This is also associated with gentle physical movements throughout the 5 daily prayers too.
If the ‘expert’ does not know this, or that fasting is prescribed during Ramadan for healthy adults and the breaking of the fast is normally done together with friends and family, it would have been worthy of him at least a mention it, or for the said ‘expert’ to do some further research on all the Abrahamic faiths in this respect.
Very interesting, I have recently been trying to eat the 30 different (good) foods a week. I noticed the mention of fermented foods again. I listened to your podcast re Histamine and it's interesting that this has become more of a problem recently, could that be because so many more people are eating fermented foods and they are changing our bodies to be histamine resistant? I never had allergies until the past 2 years, coincidentally that was when I began eating large amounts of kefirt, kefir yoghurt and other fermented foods. I have now stopped this and returned to natural yoghurt. Fingers crossed for no allergies from now on! It would be interesting to hear your views on this though.
Can we have the Minestrone recipe please? 😊🙏
Maybe researchers should look at the early prescription drugs which are the highest in the USA. People in those "blue zones" do not take medications at first lab test (if they take tests at all). So, no medications till very late in life.
I’m 74 & so far not taking any big Pharma health destroyers. I do take several nutritional supplements though.
@@VivianLittle-xq2nx My mum is 94 doesn't live in any blue zones, eats whatever she wants is mobile and in full faculties. No health issues and no regular meds.
Same here, my Mum is 92 yo - lives in working class suburb and has all her faculties and reasonably mobile, eats alot of carbs and sugar and her cholesterol and blood sugar is better than mine@@AngieStonesPhD
¡Pura vida!
Excellent work!
Caloric restriction and enough exercise. The scientific evidence is really strong about those two.
A recipe for being hangry
Eat well and getting enough calories is difficult. It's not restriction. Like stop eating before you stretch your stomach, but you don't want to be fighting nature and putting restrictions on nature. You won't win.
@@janco333 not if you eat real, whole foods. You can eat to satiety and it's very difficult to over-consume calories.
Watch the video back at around 21:40 mins in. It’s interesting how Dan was rudely cut off the second he said “you don’t need a hundred ingredients…” he made a fair point that people in these blue zones have lived a long time with just a few fresh/whole ingredients and eat vegetables based on the season. I think he was about to go into the impracticalities of eating so much varied fresh foods for most people, perhaps of socioeconomic factors… But of course this goes against Zoe’s narrative that you need 30 plants a week and lots of diversity. The Zoe way isn’t the only way.
Great information shared on zoe programs. I suggest a program about fermented plant based foods and sprouts. It would be nice to know how to prepare fermented foods and sprouting at home. Also, what have scientists found about the claim that we, humans are herbivores, not carnivores.
Dr. Erick Estrada Lugo supports this claim giving strong reasons based on his experiments. He is the reason I became vegan and I have also been inspired by some vegan athletes.
The blue zone residents are mainly vegan or vegetarian . That's the big SECRET as we have lots of places in the World with great community support etc. The big similarity is NO animal products.
Learning how to live a healthier life should be primarily to lessen the burden on others and the health services rather than just a personal pursuit to live a longer life.
Walking your dog(s) is great for keeping you moving, getting you out of the house (Vit D) and meeting people (meeting other dog owners).
School dinners,a lot of councils allowing toomany fast food chains in one area.Goverments allowing farms and green spaces to close.Any event having a lot of fast food areas.Zoe encouraging people to use a blood sugar monitor when there not diabetic.
Redesign San Antonio, Texas it needs it and encourage better food choices as well. I dropped my body age by 20 years in 6 months but adding dairy to the things i don’t eat and if it is fat I won’t eat it either. Low sugar too and only the best bread I can find. No sink or bottled water but make my own distilled water. Can’t tolerate the heat but plan to move to greener climate in a few years so we can be outside more but always moving and doing things. Lowered our stress a year ago. Don’t like drama it creates too much stress. No debt so we own what we have. I don’t like in Lima Linda but I have already outlived my mom’s dad and likely will still be even healthier at the age of my parents death because of active life style choices like care of the gut and inflammation reduction. So of the people it the Blue Zones could live even healthier and like disease free with some change in food of choices. I changed my body age with the new heath information about inflammation. Very thankful for that.
My city (Berkeley) was designed back in the early 1900s by people wanting to encourage hill walking to promote health and community. Public paths run up and down the hills while roads run more on contour. It's brilliant: walking is built in and many many people do it.
You mention in passing that the Sardinian blue zone is strongly matriarchal. Very interesting. Might this be true of any of the other blue zones?
Thank you all. I enjoyed the content provided by the guests. I'm going to look for their books and see what appeals to me so I can have the information around when I need it.
I, also, need to mention that I feel the host could do better in terms of a habit of interrupting his guests in the middle of answering questions. I, also, don't think it's necessary to reword what a guest has said unless it's a particularly complicated point.
I am mentioning the things that I found problematic because they'd be a reason I wouldn't be a regular viewer of this podcast.
I'm an (integrative) licensed healthcare professional and a person who follows my own advice. So, a podcast like this would be of interest to me overall. But the constant interruptions make it frustrating to watch. I'm not saying you can't guide guests. But if they're answering your question, give them the courtesy of finishing because your interruptions interrupt the train of thought of your listeners.
This is the first time I've ever noticed this host interrupting his guests.
I’d call it dialogue rather than interruption. Also, this goes out as an audio podcast too, where I find the clarifications and recapping helpful to pick up on the bits you may miss, or not hear properly.
What is the salad recipe of Tim Spector mentioned in the video?
❤One very important thing common that supersedes beans and plant based diet of the blue zones is acetic acid in the diet mostly from fermented foods because they decouples the mitochondria , then it would be ,non highly processed foods, and connectedness ❤❤❤❤
Im from Costa Rica.. the number one thing is low stress...
55:01 if they ever share the recipe can you please reply here with a link to it? Thanks!
It’s in his Blue Zone Book and on his website 😊
@@makeupfortheterrified7665 I searched but couldn't find it on his website. Do you have a link?
Stress: discussion of stress good. Being alive is stressful so the object of the exercise is to manage stress … there is some stress that I can remove eg looking at my phone too much … but mostly stress is there all the time
The most important blue zone factor was “the social connections”…..And you can be sure this does not include the fictitious, unreal, impersonal interactions thru computers. The erosion of face to face communication was furthered by remote working. Just look at people in a restaurant now where a whole table of “friends” will be sitting together but all merely interacting with their phones.
The teaser at the beginning of this video is of similar style with what Steven Bartlett usually does on his videos. I know he is a shareholder on Zoe. I guess he's the one who suggested that tweak😂.
Exercise has been mae important because work has become primarily sedentary by designing for short term profit….
Might be interesting to develop a “Prompt” (question) for AI (ie ChatGPT or others) on what it thinks is a better nutritional direction for human health, for longevity and quality. Just a thought. would pursue it myself but not quite sure on best way to phrase “the question"
Anyone know where the recipe is that they talk about?
Please share the blue zone recipe
Sorry, not at all confusing.
Interesting about the mention of religion - I am agnostic; however I shall appreciate the "God of Chemistry" who has supported me professionally!
My Great Great Aunts lived to 103 and 105 10.5 months both born in the 1800 smoked and drank its luck and Genetics 2 of Mr Great Aunt's lived to 100 and 102 one drank like a fish the other loved coffee.
I might have already watched the Netflix show, but just in case what is the name of the show that they’re referring to?
Live to 100 - it's in the notes
That ministry I sounds good , could you paste recipe on this Comments please?
The video is very long and can be condensed and still drive the message home. But a good one to reduce the lifespan and induce sleep!
Do people in the blue zones fit Tim’s main recommendation of eating 30 different plants per week??
Just wondering is it better to have bad friends & be unhappy or no friends and be happy 🤔 I have problems in finding people I want to spend anytime with. I just don’t feel the need. Maybe there’s something wrong with me!
A lot of good sense in this. Why does Jonathan wave his hands around so frenetically?
@@givemethejob3293 - Good one!
Get a dog - a great way to build in nature, socialising, exercise and removing stress on a daily basis.
Jeannie Louise Calment smoked drank ate meat was 122 Years 164 days my Friend's Great Great Grandma lived to be 112 from Albania smoked the Pipe every day.
Does he address the recent research about the potential problems with age data accuracy in blue zones?
Watched, it's not addressed. But I suppose there's some data that can't be fudged as age, for example the specific age related disease rates mentioned. Then again if the age is inaccurate, then the rate can be incorrectly judged as lower than average.
agree
Not really... Loma Linda, CA has extremely accurate age data. Furthermore, if u look at the 'dying' blue zones they (some) were not isolated from neighboring communities geographically. Meaning. All data should equally be suspect.
The food and behavior data for the current blue zone is consistent w the other former blue zones. But blue zones were NEVER a CRT... thats a fallacy pushed by meat industry and hyper proccessed, super palitable foods.
We can use epidemiological studies that reflect smaller, accurate CRT. AND Diet surveys do reflect general food patterns...
@@doghashisday4612 yeah, now that I think of it, I've actually myself used the Adventist argument against people saying that blue zone diets are being misrepresented in popular blue zone narratives. No way to misrepresent the Adventist diet, results and veracity of the data.
I always find it amusing that parents try to find ways to get their children to eat certain foods like vegetables. Your children will eat what you give them. I did not feed my children processed foods. I experienced what foods and diet can do when my youngest child went on the ketogenic diet for seizures, it worked! A true keto diet is not healthy in any way. There were side effects of the diet for him that resolved once off the diet. To this day, he is now 27, he has never had junk food. He does not eat candy, or anything like a desert other than fruits. We do 'prime' our children's taste buds from the beginning.
Olive trees do fine in rough somewhat arid areas😂. Greek here and my hussband has olive groves. Americans....
What about lentils?
Please bring Zoe to Australia.
Incidental daily exercise is really the key. My kids go to an inner city high rise school. Most kids commute via public transport -lots of walking and carrying backpacks. The kids are moving through the 8 story building all day - mostly via stairs. 1500 kids. School photos look retro - barely a plump kid amongst the cohort. We have forgotten to move ! I make an effort to watch TV from the floor, not the chair. Wriggle and stretching also squatting to get up. My friends and I are debating the benefits of a Japanese dining table for our old age - tatami mat, cushion = flexibility and always knowing you can get up off of the floor. Blue Zones provide great ideas to nudge ourselves to healthier habits.
