Maria Shriver Reveals Secrets Of ‘Blue Zones’ Where People Live To 100 | TODAY
I happen to be from one of those zones. Is not just the diet. The perfect weather, not too hot and never cold. Fresh breeze, easy going live, being active in their gardens, etc. Happy life, no racism or politics issues like here. Oh yeah I was born in Costa Rica.
We love Costa Rica!
No confindment!
I agree, also the air is better, and the land enriched with many minerals, therefore the food is very nutritious, and much tastier than industrial farms food, and yes live takes a much slower pace there.
Life should NOT be about comfort. It's about challenging yourself against adversity, it's about struggle against hardship.
low dairy, grain intake and low stress!!
MY MOTHER IS 101 YEARS OLD. HER MIND IS FINE. NEVER TOOK ANYMEDICATION IN HER LIFE. EXECTED VITAMINDS, B12. NEVER HAVE ANY SPECIFIC DIETS. RICE. BEANS, SOUPS, NO ALCOHOOL. NO SMOKING, SHE LIVES IN COLOMBIA S.A. IM SO PROUD OF HER SHE HAVE A GOOD SKIN .GOD BLESS HER IN IM BLESS TO HAVE HER ALIVE. SHE HAVE TWO GRANDCHILDRENS AND ONE GREATGRANDSOM.
Her mind is fine but it looks that yours is far gone Judging by the way you type.
She has...not she have. You're welcome.

A wealthy country is not how much money , or buildings or class, but the quality of life lived . A country 's wealth is its people.
I studied abroad in Costa Rica years ago and I lost a lot of weight while eating rice and beans everyday with almost every meal. The portions are smaller, I walked at least 5 miles a day, and I participated in a lot of cultural activities.
I lost alot of weight from eating red meat (grass fed beef and venison) with vegetables.
I cut out most grains and all beans and all my bloating is gone.
@@christofferraby4712 my research points towards low stress, low dairy and grain intake... also south America and asia they consume insects
and we vegetarians are ALWAYS asked where do you get your protiens from ? now you know.. being from India having Dal which is kind of a lentil soup is an absolute staple and a must have dish on every house rich or poor.. Dal rice is "THE" comfort food for almost every Indian. Thankfully India being an agricultural country we have 100's of varieties of beans and pulses. we have always advocated vegetarian diet for over 1000's of years and today the world is waking up to it.

That's why most Indians don't grow tall, get fat later in life, and many get diabetes. The Indian diet is not healthy at all. Q
@@dionysus8967 MOst Indian and all Indians are from the continent of Asia and all Asians have a genetic makeup. Asians have always been of medium or short height. Reason why people in other countries are growing more taller or bigger today is because of eating meat of farm and factory bred animals that are injected with "growth Hormones" some regions in India specially the northern regions consume a lot of fats and are meat eaters by choice. sure you will find some who are fat but obesity as such is not a very big issue in India compared to North America where people get fat becs of burgers, pizza, chips and other processed foods. what Indians ate for 1000's of years is now called Superfood in western countries. Turmeric, moringa, mangosteen, Garcinia, fenugreek, amaranth these are all used in our cooking almost every day. you have probably not been introduced to the basic common mans meal in India. once you see what we eat you will realise that it is the most balanced meal to get all kinds of nutrition for your body. indian restaurant food is not a complete reflection of everyday Indian meals
@@buddhapiyao1315 I only know about north India and Nepal. There they eat a lot Dahl Bhat, lentils with rice. All of the people who were tall and strong ate meat and had more money. You are right that in America people are also sick. But I really don't see how the Indian "poor man's diet" is in any way healthy.
@@dionysus8967 what has food todowith being rich? you have obviously not come across the Gujrati and Marwadi communities of western India who by far are the richest communities in India and are pure vegetarians and some are Jains - people who dont even consume tubers. Mukesh Ambani is a Gujrati vegetarian by the way who is one of the richest person in the world as per Forbes magazine. the Jain community of Mumbai are majorly Diamond traders and textile merchants again pure vegetarians and very rich !! the mentally and academically brilliant South Indians who comprise of 80 % of the IT industry in the world as in software Engineers or Engineers of some kind are from Karnataka and Chennai which again is mostly vegetarian . If you "insist" of not wanting to understand vegetarian food for good mental and physical health, thats another story. but if you want to keep an open mind and look around on how fast the world is turning Vegetarian or Vegan, because of the health impact it has on both the human body and the planet you might change your thoughts. by the way Los Angeles ,California, Vegas has more Vegan restaurants than anywhere in the world !! more and more Athletes are turning Vegan to gain more stamina. Venus Willians, Serena Williams, Djokivic are Vegans. most body builder are resorting to Vegan food for more muscle building.just having good height is not a definition of good health. most hollywood personalities are Vegans including Maddona, Jennifer Lopez. Jacquine pheonix. Bill Clinton and Al Gore are Vegans too. there must be something right for all of these people to quit animal products !!
hello everyone I live in Sardinia and I have a 98 year old grandmother. in our descendants we have all had very long-lived relatives I believe that it is also the genetics of every single individual ... personally I believe that the world has changed for the worse, food in modern society on a world level undergoes many transformations, Meat has many antibiotics, and vegetables have a very high amount of pesticides, .... in the future we would have many tumors and obesity problems, if you want to have a healthy lifestyle you have to bend your back and prepare a vegetable garden created by yourself .. and eat meat of local farmers who do not have antibiotics or medicines live in contact with nature every day you are welcome. In Sardinia a hug to all of you.
Yes I agree, I try to get organic meat and wild caught fish whenever I can, local raw milk from grass fed cows. So do you guys eat a lot of meat and animal foods in Sardinia?
@@counterstrike89 Being an island in the heart of the mediterranean we have a high consumption of fresh fish and meats. the world data say that sardinia and okinawa island in japan have the highest number of centenarians in the world.Being an island in the heart of the mediterranean we have a high consumption of fresh fish and meats. the world data say that sardinia and okinawa island in japan have the highest number of centenarians in the world.
@@Luke-tw7wt Thanks, and it appears that Okinawan's also eat a lot of pork, and much sea food, I think this must be helping keep the strength up as people get older.
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.
Makes sense, but can you provide proof for your claims?
One reason why l new mothers in third world countries suffer less post partum depression is because extended family that helps with 4he baby.
The extended family makes you stay relaxed for 40 days. Your family members make sure you have your "special" diet to support the fast and healthy recovery from your delivery.
Chicken soups, concentrated bone broth and lots of beans makes you get out of bed sooner than later.
Eat clean and your brain and body will be clean and free if sickness as well.
Does it not only concern China?
Yeah but your kid means your problem. Don’t have kids if you aren’t capable of doing it alone.
Just bc you can do it alone doesnt mean you should. No man is meant to be an island. I twisted both my ankles the other day on a crack on the sidewalk. Just like that. I have been bed ridden for 5 days. I am so greatful that my Greek mother lives down stairs and comes up to help with everything. And now a days what does doing alone look like here in America? Basically daycare raising your kid. No, thank you. I'll take grandma and aunty anytime. There is joy in family. Isolation can make you go crazy.
Most importantly... these people live longer because they don't worry about staying young and living longer...
They also deal with stress by keeping it low
65gmb more importantantly they live healthy and don’t worry about getting old and dying...
Good point. All that is imposed by the media.
a lot of people want to live longer but then they don't know what to do without wifi or don't know how to deal with depression or anxiety in healthy ways... smh
Mental health begins in your gut, a healthy whole food plant based diet supplies many pre biotics for a healthy micro biome boosting mental health, no one part of the body is an island, animal fats and processed and fake fats block our circulation contributes to not only heart disease but a contributing factor to degenerate disc disease in spine and osteoarthritis Alzheimer’s dementia, meat and dairy diets associated with higher cancer and auto immune diseases as well
Some experts consider alzhiemers the 3rd type of diabetes. Like type two insulin resistance (along with high insulin levels) & systemic inflammation plays a roll as symptoms of metabolic syndrome.
"Some of it may be diet, how we live our lives, stress" - yes, all of the above and more. You need good food, you need to move a lot, stay socially active, physically active and eliminate as much stress as possible!
Most of it IS diet. Catch up, dn.
Sounds stressful
Yes, stress is a KILLER!
All of the places where people live to 100 all have the same things in common:
1. Low stress
2. Active lifestyle
3. Temperate climate
4. Diets consisting mostly of wine, meats, cheeses, some fruits and vegetables (In that order)
5. Happy personality (no hate, no care of what the politics are, etc.)
4 vegetables, meat, wine, cheeses and fruit are a better order......also i notice south america asia more recently europe is consuming insects....like 30Grams of organically farmed crickets have 12x more b vitamins then 4 oz of beef....20x more then pork or daitry and like 30x times the b vitamins of 3-4 eggs
@@richardsmall8940 That may have to be used if food shortages gets much worse. I don't think people would notice if they processed crickets into an ingredient and mix it in with other stuff. I mean, people eat margarine and that stuff is almost plastic.
@@trutrek913 im considering eating insects out of sustainability/health potential....like 100 grams of crickets is 35 to 50 percent portein and beef is 20to 25% tops....an once of crickets has 12x more b vitamins then beef...insects use easily 20-30x less land and 70-90% less water and around 1/6th the feed
My Seven Day Adventist MD doc who taught at the Loma Linda Medical School lamented that that ppl there ate tons of sugar in desserts.....no no....I am surprised that they made it to this healthy list...
My great grant mother lived 101 years old and she lived the same life stile like this people
I enjoy your show about the blue zone. I have changed my diet and love it now thank you for educating people. XXX
They are not toxic with 200 pounds of hair spray and makeup either 🤣🤣
mind and body is one, think about it! If you feel stressed, you won't sleep well and you will not eat well as most people do. I am from the Mediterranean and grew up eating lots of vegetables, corn bread and fish.
That is our Spanish culture, we honor our elders
They are Costa Rican, not Spanish...
@@marllon9786 and where do you think our culture comes from? 🙄
@@shadaykhan7410 A mixture of different peoples. Be proud of your Costa Rican roots.
We love this!
@@marllon9786 what hubris
I am mediterranean. I agree with what is said : lots of vegetables and salad with olive oil, then beans OR cereals, a bit of animal protein or fish (not much, remember, in Crete tradition was 35 GRAMS of meat a day, yes that's right 35 grams), a little bit of cheese, some nuts, and the occasional SEASONAL fruit. We also use medicinal herbs : rosemary, sage, thyme.
You have to remember, Dan Buettner chose very specific places that have a high number of centurions - not every place in Costa Rica, Italy, Greece, Japan, & certainly not every place in th That's why he only identify 5 very specific places.
My aunt is 107
My dad's brothers and sisters over 100
No diet, no exercise
Just live

I think it has a lot to do with stress and attitude .
I love this! Now I must visit all of the blue zones! ✈️🚞🚢
Good idea!
My Nan is 94. She fries everything she eats. Meat every meal time. She drinks like a fish especially whisky usually having 2 at lunchtime. Her only health issue is she is losing her hearing. Nothing else.
Meat clogs arteries. Especially the tiny artery that connects to our ears. That's why she is losing her hearing & all the frying of her food. She should start eat way more fruit & include grapefruit as it helps clean arteries as well as unlimited fruit.
@@alicedenise5722 Absolute nonsense. Your knowledge of diet and biology is seriously being impaired with you bias. Losing your hearing has nothing to do with eating meat and eating meat does not clog arteries. If that was the case then for example Inuit people who have a diet of meat fish and huge amounts of fat would be heart attacks waiting to happen instead of the reality which is that there were very very few cases of any heart or cancer issues until some started eating a more Western diet full of un-natural human foods. in particular large amounts of sugar and grain based foods.
Oh and by the way she does eat plenty of fruit too. 95 now and still going strong.
@@SuperNictastic I'm super glad she eats a lot of fruit but meat does clog arteries.
@@SuperNictastic "The Inuit in Canada’s far north have lifespans 12 to 15 years shorter than the average Canadian’s, government data showed."
@@SuperNictastic if the grain based foods had oils added to them then of course that would be affecting arteries as well.
Please please
Let this. Blue Zone

My grandma just turned 89 over Labor Day her hair still her black she look 20 years younger still remember everything since she little in Vietnam bec every time she told a story and it alway the same
Excellent report...Blue Zone Costa Rica is Pura Vida!
I need to consider eating beans for breakfast. I have thought about it before and somehow think I shouldn't because it is not a breakfast food. Where do we get those eating rules anyways?
Beans at breakfast give you energy, they keep you without hunger more time than most other foods... To eat them at breakfast try it some times and it will be an habit. :)
I have some beans. I will try it!
I agree Marco. My family went on vacation and my mother in-law
left a huge batch of what we call "soup beans." They have certainly curbed my appetite having them for breakfast the last 4 days.
The latest health scare is lectins which can be found in beans, you can't win,lol.
I've heard marketing is the reason people think eggs are a breakfast food. when I lived in Costa Rica with a host family, I was served black beans and rice every morning. so culture is another reason.
It's true usa had alot of process food's too many Burgers people died Young, my grandma who lives in mexico is 104and still going strong she walks eats only beans and rice all natural foods and gets lots of sun
KEEP IT UP FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY LOVE KINDNESS
In India majority are mostly vegetarians, but they usually lasts till 70.
I think environment and genetic configuration plays some important role in it.
It's because you guys eat unhealthy. You fry your food, you don't have enough money to have a balanced diet and quality food and good supplements. You also need to exercise and enjoy life. But in India, life is stressful because of poverty
for everyone who is saying that their grandparents ate everything they wanted and lives forever, god bless you and your grandparents. you’re grandparents are an exception to the norm. most people develop chronic illnesses from eating fried and processed foods; drinking alcohol; and snacking on salty and sweet treats and beverages. again god bless them, but most people must take care of themselves judiciously to avoid becoming ill.
Thank you, I agree. My grandpa is 101 & has always eaten everything & his mother too ( she died at 104) but I’m sure could’ve been healthier, stronger & more independent if they ate better. Plus, they are the exception. Almost everyone else in the community has died younger. The blue zones have MANY people living that long, & living strong, not just a few people that the community is surprised they’re still alive because it’s rare.
Woaa cuối cùng thì cũng có bài này rùi hihi😍❤
It is not their diets; you could eat the same diet anywhere in the world and still would not help you. It's to do with the purity of the environment, the air is cleaner, the earth is enriched with plentiful of minerals, so the food is purer and better for your system. Not to mention less stress, live is also much more relaxed there.
I grew up in Central America. My diet consisted of lots of fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and fresh meats.
Everyday we went to the open market to see what people brought down from the volcano's crater vegetation. Others brought their vegetables from other cutie's small garde s or plantations. We lived in tight communities and constantly talking and interacting with our neighbors. We also had extended family and visited all the time.
It was a more communal type living.
Our diets included beans, lentils, chick peas regularly. Staple food if you wish. Beans is a substitute for meat and provides great amounts of Iron.
Red Cells are created in the bone marrow, they are responsible to transport oxygen to the brain. The more oxygenated your brain is, the better it functions.
Anemia is basically the lack of Iron on your blood stream. That lack of Iron means less oxygenation yo your brain which could be the cause of dementia in females more than males.
Moral of the story: Eat more simple. Eat lots of legumes and vegetables. Eat lots of fruits and eat nuts in moderation. Eat meats sparingly and drink good clean water.
Eat fresh and eat vegetables that are harvested while young. Fresh, is the key in longevity and sharp brain.
Lots of fruit. Veggies, nuts, and walk, walk, walk. Talk to a fries daily and you will leave healthy and wonderful life.
Wrong, Ikarians eat a lot of meat, and all animal foods like butter, cream, milk, fish, yogurt, cheese, ect.....
Sounds very good to me. My doctor suggested something like that idea but not exactly. Basically he said unprocessed foods and the Dash Diet.
I love everything you said but keep in mind that once women are post meopausal they aren't losing iron any more.
@@counterstrike89 less dairy and grains although i find fermented and aged dairy like yogurt, kefir and cheese is okay in moderation
free ranged/pastured poultry and grass fed meats are best
It’s funny people avoiding beans but drinking coffee which comes from a bean
Basic diet in the bible. More vegetables and fruits, legumes and beans. You get proteins from plants.
Some people were meat eaters as well.
Thanks
Love it
The traditional Mediterranean diet in its various ethnic variations is very plant foods based. They do eat a bit of proteins eg the occasional egg, sheep or goat milk cheese, bits of prosciutto (Parma ham) or any fish they can get if they are sea people eg Breeks, Sicilians etc. But meat based proteins do not play a major role in their diets. They get protein from other sources eg nuts in some places and dried beans, like broad beans or lentils, chickpeas and similar things, including some unheard of in Anglo type cultures. They also eat various seeds that are rich in nut ients, which Anglo cultures disc as Rd eg pumpkin seeds, known by the Italian term "passa tempo" (time passers), but which are seldom eaten by Italians, mainly Greeks, for a nutritious snack. The seeds are cleaned and the outer shell discarded. Chest nuts are commonly eaten in cold mountainous regions of Italy and used in a variety of ways. They are good toasted, for breakfast with coffee. Or as a snack or used in soups or baked cakes etc. One really does not need much protein to remain healthy. Most Mediterranean people who eat meat might only eat a small amount for one or two meals a weak. , On days when no other protein good like cheese on pasta or an egg in an omelette or slices of salami on bread or fish are not eaten. These people often get a shock when coming as migrants to Australia and see the massive amounts of protein eaten here, especially meat, dairy etc. They cannot imagine how it could even be humanly possible, no matter how hungry, to sit down and eat a TBone steak, with eggs and all the vegetables,postie chips etc it is often served with. But there is a Blood Types theory that may or may not have any scientific basis that suggests people with the O blood type, who are often Anglo types need a lot of meat protein, hence all the steaks etc Australians like to eat. Whereas people with the A blood type, typically of Mediterranean stock need less meat and more vegetable based goods eg fruits to function as healthy people. It apparently has 6o do with what various people of different races did to procure their food eg hunter types who obviously ate the animals they hunted or types, like Mediterranean types who foraged around for edible plants, caught the occasional fish, bird, rabbit etc, herded and milked a few sheep or hosts etc. It is interesting to note that when the semi naturally vegetarian Mediterranean people come to Anglo type big meat eating cultures, despite getting a better standard of living, they die younger than their very elderly parents back in Europe who had very hard lives working the land to survive and had great hardships and discomforts. Nobody knows why, but it may have something to do with changed diet, to one less suited to the A blood type, as they seek to settle into the O blood type Anglo diet and lifestyle, too, whereby meat protein is abundant and getting your food does not require actually doing hard physical work to have it. Eg you just pull out your smart phone and credit card, order it on line and it is delivered to your door. This is so easy but we pay a serious health cost for such ease and convenience, comforts. The old Mediterrean parents probably live longer because they generally eat less ie only what they can grow or forage and must move a lot to get it. For instance, in Central Italy in the high mountains there, they do eat lamb, but before you can eat it, herdsmen have to drive sheep flocks on foot up and down rugged mountains slopes for pastures going up in spring and down into valleys, for protection of the flocks from cold winter snow, wolves etc that can destroy the sheep. So, with all this hard work herding these sheep up and down steep mountain slopes you would get enough exercise to work off any protein you consumed so it cannot cause bodily damage. There is a kind of natural balance dictated by nature so that, in order to have good to eat, you must do hard physical work.Unlike in modern Australia where you not have to starve simply because you failed to do gym one day. You just pop into McDonalds for a Big Mac and there are no questions about whether you did enough physical work to entitle you to eat a Big Mac. But in these traditional Mediterranean societies such questions can be and usually are asked and there used to be an unspoken but universally accepted rule that , first you work, then you eat. So, before they sat down to breakfast, they will have already put in a couple of hours of farm work before the heat of the day. So, on rising, up our get a continental breakfast ie black coffee and a couple of biscuits and off to work. Proper full breakfast is the equivalent of the Anglo style brunch. The meals are structured differently and are based on accommodating work demands, which being largely agricultural, are determined by the seasons, time of day, what grows when, what must be done by when in order to have enough food. Thus, you work when it's cool but take a siesta (seats in Italian) when it is too hot to work, into early afternoon. It is is a careful, practical natural balance between work and energy intake ie food. And that keeps them healthy enough to live long lives. Also, despite great hardships, insecurity, discomforts etc, they do not suffer the same levels of senseless unnecessary stress that living in, say, modern Australian urban type society creates, thatdamages health after prolonged relentless exposure to such stress we rarely are able to avoid or control eg your boss requires some job done by yesterday, your train is late and you miss your specialist sppointmentyiu get bullied and victimised at school or work etc.
“Strong Spiritual Lives” that’s very good 📰
Is it safe 2 come out?
Healthy!😊
Maria looks great!
It’s the whole lifestyle and culture, not just the food.
From what I see so far nothing touches ikiria Greece. There folks like there 50.
There folks look like there 50 even if their like 100?
Folic acid can help prevent alzheimer's
It's the Med diet that has a fair few fish. But a very strong society & friendships or at least social contact.
Diet is about more than the food. If a "Westerner" ate this way it would probably help with a lot of problems. But everything in our modern world is pushing in the opposite direction of this lifestyle. They live simple, uncomplicated routines, in stable communities, in mild climates, without a lot of conflict with different types of people. No information overload. No being hurried. No careers. No questioning of religion. Presumably their kids aren't cutting them off or moving away. The sameness of the food reflects the predictability of their lives.
No they all eat fish and pork . Okinawa, Greece etc Your wrong dragon ladies. They just dont eat Mac everyday, do some active moving, a bit more sun for vitamin D absorption .And have more social activity. Beans,, no huge meaning..not bad though. Also eating food grown near their land.
dude, this is cool
Always like maria. Miss hoda Kathy Lee combo
Secret is we in west can never afford the home grown organic foods like in east which they dont pay a single penny , pluck and eat ...
I know right!?? Beans are SO expensive 😉
They're not vegans, hmmkay? They just eat less meat.
Humans = herbivores. Most people just can’t accept that fact unfortunately. Yet
@@JustinLodes I still believe we are omnivores. A little bit of everything. It seems like it judging by our teeth. We have both sharp teeth and blunt teeth
It’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle a diet is something that is temporary

NO. MATTER DIETS..

NO STRESS/NO WORRIES
you can eat healthy . but you have stress/worries
YOU DIE SOON..100%
the ability to Stress more also depends on your diet . the ancient medical science in India says that there are 3 kinds of meals. Tamasik, Rajasic and Satwik. Tamasik is food where violence is involved. Rajasik means Royal or rich food like a lot of fats and sugars and Satwik is the food which is devoid of both tamsik and Rajasik elements. Tamasik food primarily consists of meat. when an animal is killed there are a lot of chemical reactions happen in it because of pain, fear and stress and when we eat such food our body consumes all that. It has been notced that meat eaters tend to be more angrier and more stressed. Rajasik food is the food that was consumed by kings and Royals.. too much of fried food, too many items of food on a plate and too many sweets. such food makes a person very lethargic and lazy because the body is working too hard to deal with all that fat and sugar . unless ther person also works out , such people will have too many lifestyle diseases like diabetes and blood pressure. Satwik food is the best as it is 100 % vegetarian. a lot of the food is eaten raw or boiled or steamed using hardly any oil, ghee or any kind of fat . fruits are consumed as desserts. such food gets digested easily and because it is digested well most of the nutrients is supplied back to our blood stream instead of getting expelled out. whereas Tamasik and Rajasik food have a hard time getting digested so either they get simply expelled out or the remenants remain stuck to our intestines and create toxins over a period of time which also gets supplied into our blood stream and we get Cancer like diseases. that toxic blood puts further stress on the kidneys as the kidneys have to clean the blood .. eventually the toxin deposits inside the kidneys give rise to more ailments.

They are also eating goat milk, cheese, and fermented milk, and fresh eggs that are full of nutrients.
Very little. For instance the Okinawan blue zone people ate like 2% of their calories from meat and dairy. To peddle all these animal products responsible for so much of our illnesses in the west as the source of the blue zone's longevity is not only doing it an injustice but its a travesty. These people eat mostly a plant based diet.
Taking into consideration that the study took place post WW2, when all the Islands of Japan including Okinawa were impoverished.
@@brookgraves368 should their diets before the war be considered? Because they ate pork
Not really
Brooks, dumbest suggestion yet. Animal products cause cancer cell division, heart disease, diabetes, and a list of other diseases. You must be sickly.

I don't want to live extremely long life. I want to live young and healthy life for long as possible
Minerals are life. Salt water fish live in a mineral soup. Sea food a key to longevity.
I am fortunate in that I have good genes. I never eat white rice and usually red beans in chilli con carne. Whole grain tortillas. Which you can buy in the U.S. I learned to fake sincerity on the job which relieves stress. Retired at 70 and immigrated to Costa Rica.That was a dozen years ago.
Wealth also contribute to good health in many ways
They all look pretty poor to me.
Not necessarily!!
"Money doesn't change people, money reveals people". I heard this is a quote from Johnny Depp.
You know what to do. Think independently. Think outside of the box.
They weren’t vegetarian that’s for sure. Many were on high fat diets. Dan Buettner is completely wrong.
Greeks in ikaria got 50% of calories from fat and half of those were from Olive oil. 13 teaspoons per day on average. You're right. The other half of the fat came from goat's milk, cheese and animal fat.
@@Cstank5 You do know that olive oil has a massive positive effect on your artieries right? So does red Wine. Something else the Ikarians consume a lot of.
You know what doesn't have a great effect on your artieries? Red meat. Bacon. Butter. Etc.
@@rappatenebrense That depends on the amount. By the way butter is made not found in nature.
@@MrBeckenhimself Neither is orange juice. When im talking about foods from nature, yes I mean whole, but the definition can be used for things that didn't go thru a lot of processing and include chemicals that you wouldn't consume in nature. Butter, which is milk, cream and salt, orange juice, tomato paste with few high quality ingredients would be part of that list. Margarine, soda and doritos wouldn't.
@@rappatenebrense Your life span will be heavily and I do mean very heavily relied on your genes. Diet helps sure but in the end it's gonna be the genes.
Life expectancy is falling in the USA. Eat yur beans!
I know this will be controversial but statistics can be made to say nearly anything. If historians are correct, 1/3 to 1/2 of all Oakinawans committed suicide or were killed in WW2. Therefore, it is not accurate to say they have one of the longest lifespans on Earth, in fact, quite the contrary.
What we need is a book or documentary created by someone who doesn’t have a nutritional agenda, and go step by step exposing what each meal looks like from each blue zone group. Show their social structure and physical activity as well. But, these generalized talking points are suspect. I always wonder is the guy or people behind “blue zone” diet research just pushing a particular diet in the first place? Are they just cherry picking the info that sells their agenda? If we really want to know how to prevent the terrible diseases we have in western societies and live long lives, we need to closely examine these cultures and avoid the 5 minute summaries of their diet.
Look at the documentary “What the Health” on Netflix
@@altonbreeden652 Thanks!
Alzheimer’s in women has raised the same percentage as Parkinson’s in men and it’s been on the rise since gmos have entered the market.. same goes for autism..
I think this gentleman is on to something.
Vegans and vegetarians run away when people ask if blue zone eat meat. Yes they eat meat. From what I see so far it is just eating good food that's not loaded with junk like sugar etc. I guess eating from the edges of the grocery store not the center will be best. I'll make my meat portions smaller and stay away from my favorite Reese's peanut butter cups. I love teas so I'll stay away from sodas. For now I have to have 70% cocoa dark chocolate to help with my sweet tooth. I got fresh walnuts and pecans to snack on.
stangtrax who is running I think it's fantastic that they are eating mainly plant based, if people in this country all ate like them, it would eliminate way more animal suffering and disease so I'll take it... if we tried to convince people to eliminate flesh altogether-and that would be ideal however unrealistic, however, I think vegans, the animals and the planet as a whole wold be much better, and also within the blue zones not all of them eat meat, some are 100% plant based and from what I researched, those people do even better than the ones that eat little amounts of flesh..
Eating the same things all the time isnt necessarily good. You need variety to get adequate nutrients.
We eat rice and beans for breakfast
This is so ridiculous. They also live stress free lives, far away from the mainland, no pesticides, chemical pollution and gmo's, have very good family and social lives and don't eat huge portions. They all walk and exercise but don't overdo it. The diet is just one component.
There are 9 aspects. Diet is only one of them. Did you even watch the video?
How many vaccines do they get? No annual flu shot??🙈
They also have low body fat in those areas
My gran lived till 90 , never ate beans or much vegetables, she mostly ate toast bacon eggs ready meals and plenty of cakes and biscuits, my neice died at 26 she was a vegan and fitness addict, she died of cancer, genes play a big part.
I miss this combination of women on the show
Simple living
Keep busy
I thought paleo said beans were bad?
The lie goes on. Potatoes on a rocky island ha ha. Cheese, pork animal fat.
Exactly. Vegan propaganda:"Eat your beans, veggies and greens and fruits"🤮Give me a break.
I’m cringing. We get protein in many things, not just beans lol. The protein is in the plants. I eat a Whole Foods plant based diet. And I don’t feel deprived of protein
C'est pas logique d'avoir des legendes en anglais lorsque la vidéo est déjá en anglais!
En plus je comprend rien!😟😟
Old age is valued in these places and aging folks are part of the society (not stuck in some nursing home) unlike in much of the world where old age is devalued. Look at the women presenting this story. The woman in black stretched her facial skin to the max to erase the passage of time shown on her face. Too bad she couldn't do it to her neck which clearly shows her age.
Harsh but true
Beans give me gas!!
Start putting them in your diet s l o w l y and chew very well. Once you're used to a spoon or 2, then g r a d u a l l y increase. This will give your microbiome a chance to get used to it. Going from 0 to 60 quickly may give you trouble. Worth trying, though, because they're VERY healthy. Hope this helps : )
lol come to sardinia let's see if we dont eat a lot of meat;D
No blue zones populations are vegetarian (but some vegetarians stick to narrow-minded food theories, perhaps because they they think we can live longer by simply consuming differently, instead of changing also from inside, changing our egotistic stressful lives for example) but all of those populations had rich community and spiritual lives, and a relaxed unassuming lifestyle
@n. фффвär you don't know anything about Sardinia, those communities where oldest people live are famous for their traditional diet based on meat and dairy products....we are speaking about places famous for their livestock activities...and in any case the main reason of their life expectancy is genetics.
@@juanpefernandez , you are nutritionally ignorant. But, don't let that stop you from eating meat.
@@larrymaloney877 Maybe. But I was just reporting what the people who researched on these zones in the planet where people who live longer and in good shape do. It's not just food and it's not vegetarianism.
@@juanpefernandez , LOL, what people "researched?" Call me crazy but I prefer to read the actual nutritional science. It's available to all. That science proves a whole grain plant-based diet, free of meat & dairy and processed flour & bottled oils is the healthy way to nourish human bodies. That nutritional (plant-based) science is put into practice by many successful "wellness" MD's who routinely remove folks from high blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering drugs by placing them on a plant-based diet. They cure type II diabetes and numerous other diseases the same way. Senior medical doctors like Michael Klaper, John McDougall, Calwell Esselstyn, and many many more have routinely cured thousands over the last forty years with a healthy plant-based diet! Meanwhile, the masses learn "nutrition" from media, TV & radio - selling fast food made by billionaires, not for nutritional content but optimal profit. I prefer what nature provides. Man's feed or nature's food? It's your choice. Colin T. Campbell, Ph.D. wrote "The China Study" after spending ten years studying the diet of rural Chinese in the eighties, for ten years. They were free of disease then - on a poor diet of rice and a few veggies. Today, the fastest-growing franchise in China is KFC and today their health is deteriorating to the low level of most Americans. You, like so many others, "report" misinformation about nutrition. "The China Study" could not even be done today. The rural population of plant-eaters is gone replaced by foods promoted by Madison advertising and slick promotions, like overselling "protein" need. Right now the biggest offenders are the keto lovers. Society is so dumbed down folks are doomed to die of nutritional ignorance.
Blue zone. Never heard of this term
Please please don’t force it on us like so many other media coined terms!!!!!
My mother is a 1 and 4 months from being 100. And no it is no fun. She can't walk very well, she has to ware diapers, her memory is bad but has no other health problems. Why do people think being 100 is so great, it really sucks cause she is bored out of her mind. She has eaten a ton of meat her whole life, didn't eat bean or vegetable or fruit but did eat lots of chocolate, cookies and candy and she has no other health problems plus she still lives BY HERSELF.
maybe cut out the carbs and crap food
I can only imagine she reaching 120 better than those people above IF she had receive the knowledge for food and living so she could have a chance of not living like you said.
Many centenarians still work, no time for boredom
My grandfather always eat fresh veggies, meat, lots of fruit always sup for early dinner, always the same in the morning. Going and returning home by bicycle. He drunk wine and milk. He died of some stomach pain in his 80's.
@@msmysticstorytime vegans age very poorly too. Tons of issues. I am an Adventist. Non vegan and see with my own eyes the problems of a vegan diet.
The women on show look 100 and their only half way their with their wrinkly faces. Not true that their vegetarians, they eat lots of meat cheese eggs pasta rice potatoes, they have great DNA and less stress.
vilcabamba in ecuador ,is other blue zone
pol garcia that is not true
Why do these women interrupt each other so rudely?
They are agressive modern women
Every part of the world had some genetic or diets, that when combined gave them a favorable life expectancy, the difference here are the Seventh Day Adventist.The seventh day adventist community for some reason has automatic improvements once they started practicing the diet, faith, and excersice lifestyle regardless of what walks of life you come from. We believe that to be able to serve one master we should have clear cognitive reasoning, not give into earthly pleasures. Once a person can controll taste buds we can control our thoughts and submitt to GOD. Second the promise of God's second coming can see pass any evil,The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1. As SDA we follow such diet and faith guidelines inspired through EGW. After all who is our creater? Why not take His guideline on what diet to follow, because no one would take his Benz to a KIA mechanic shop. Same with our bodies. After all He created us!
7 day adventists suffer from greater rates of dementia, alzheimers and osteoporosis than their Mormon counterparts who eat a more balanced diet that happens to also include meat.
What is EGW?
Beans are B Vitamins and Protein
Only adequate source of b12 is in animal products.
They think it is the food, lol. I know the direction and this isn't it.
They eat healthy and don't live in the city.
