Leaves out the most important factor - physical labor. Blue zone folks are not sedentary. They labor physically deep into old age.
Exactly!
There's an island of such people - they forgot about dying
Because they can. If you're an American male carpenter your body craps out at 45
@@builderpj the carpenter thats has three to six pints after work but not the one that takes care of their body.
I believe that exercise is at least as important as diet, maybe more. I don’t believe anything this man says about macros. Clownworld. We are mostly carnivores, imo.
The most important common denominator isn’t what they eat, it’s what they typically don’t eat. No processed crap they grow the bulk of their own food or source locally and hence they work actively all their lives.
bread is processed garbage.
The main reason people get sick is eating plants.
Bingo. You will piss off both sides of extremists but this doesn't fit their narratives.
@@alanlierz3745 Only when the farm pig crap on them.
The common commentator is mostly whole food plant based. Lack of saturated fat, choline, heme iron and toxic levels of protein like your typical American dinner breakfast and lunch. NO TMAO and IGF-1 production. Less stress on the kidneys and liver. Less chance of type 2 diabetes which increases your chance of cardiovascular disease by 50%. Less chance of aggressive prostate and breast cancers. Improved killer cell function by 50% eating no saturated fat or oils. Almost no chance of diverticulitis, acne, gallbladder stones and disease, kidney disease, heart attack or stroke. Its along term investment that pays dividends. But you can opt for the precious memories of eating cheese beef and chicken well into your early 70s. You wont be moving very fast .
I stopped eating anything that’s wrapped many years ago. I feel great, stay fit and I barely produce trash in my house.
How the heck do you even do that. I’d love to
This gentleman ought to do a bit more research. For example, there is a book by Dr Alexander Leaf, MD. It is called "Youth in Old Age". He went around the world with his wife to look at the diets of people who live the longest while in good health, optimal mobility and physicality.
His conclusion was that those who best adjusted to their environmental niches, in the way of diet, activity and cultural inclusion, always do the best. You can't go around the world and enforce one particular regimen.
He also might want to visit the robust literature on autopsies of Egyptian mummies and see the consequences of being big grain eaters. In fact, when the Greeks encountered the Egyptians in war, they called their soldiers, bread (grain) eaters.
Exactly, wheat in Egypt created the mutation of Diabetes type 1.. also hes lying about dairy..
What about the Barley men - Roman soldiers I think?
The guy actually talks about this stuff. He says people who live to be a 100 typically do a lot of manual labor in their day to day life (climbing stairs, doing things by hand etc) and all keep their children and their parents close during their lives as well as being part of tight nit communities with life long friends.
He doesn`t mention that here since it`s a youtube short and it`s about food.
If I ate all those beans and whole grains I would be a bloated mess!!
Paul saldilano would agree!! It’s about optimal nutrition hunter and gatherer fruit meat and homey
Most westerners no longer have the micro biome diversity to digest large amounts of fibre. However that can be regained over time by slowly increasing the different types, and quantity, of fibre in the diet
@@16Henner that’s a good point!
Its really not even that slow of a transition, your gut microbiome can change pretty rapidly, especially if you just slowly and consistently switch out junk with whole foods and slowly increase your fiber intake
I have been studying nutrition for 30 years as a personal trainer. Did low fat high fiber 90s. To moderate fat, high fiber and tons of fruits and vegetables. To removing grains and beans and doing paleo (feeling better) 2000s. 2015 trying keto and feeling still better and trying carnivore and feeling amazing and healing my gums and sleeping better and for years easily maintaining sub 14 percent body fat at 58 years old. Truth is less fiber I eat the better I feel!! Triglycerides 56 hdl 90 and glucose fasting solid 80.
My grandmother lived to 99 years...no medications, lived alone with no help. Her diet consisted of pork , hard cheese and gin!
Love your Gran. Woo hoo
Are you fish tho?
@@OhhhJPYou're asking if she's a fish?
She might have lived 120 yrs if she ate like blue zone diet.
This Dr/Professor/researchers based their recommendations on systematic research studies, on hundereds/thousands of study population, not just based on ONE grandmother.
I watched my dad eat spam and bologna sandwiches for his whole carrer as a diesel mechanic. Made 100y/o last October. He's still walking around the yard fixing or breaking things.
Lol or breaking to fix em funny shut there
He's the exception not the rule.
@@allgood7088 the old man is active! Not exception
My great grandparents all lived to their 90's. Ate high meat diets, veggies, whole grains. Lots of hard labor, physical activity.
Oh, and none were on medications. All died at home.
Stress is what makes your life shorter.
Definately agree with you. Stress is very destructive to your body. Contributes to strokes, heart problems-hypertension and a plethora of other ailments. I have always had it. And so do millions of others unfortunately. So envious of people that are so mellow and chill. Envious not hateful. Love their vibes.❤
Yep, and hardly anyone talks about it. All these doctors banging on about diet and exercise, which are important, but reducing stress, especially chronic stress, is crucial to living a long, healthy life
Correct
Agree a bigger contributor but it also depends on how we manage our stress. Stress is inevitable, because everyone has stress. Poverty is a major stressor esp. bc it's harder to deal w/stress w/o financial resources. I know bc I'm dealing w/stress mainly bc of my health issues & not able to get the necessary help bc of financial situation. I'm a Christian, I pray & have faith that I'll be able to get through all that comes my way✝️💚🫶✝️
Eating plants reduces stress and cortisol.
Most importantly, you must eat these things for at least a century
😆😆😆
My father in law lived up to 97 and his mother to 101. They ate everything in moderation but were physically active each and every day
And most likely didn't eat tons of processed foods, sugars, etc
@@vladathe only processed food they knew were white fortified bread and glucose biscuits. They ate rice from their own paddy fields and fresh unpasteurised milk from their own indigenous cows. They cooked with coconut oil made from their own palms milled locally. No toxins. Went to bed after 8 pm and woke up at 4 am.
It's true that centenarians ate less meat back in the day because it was too expensive. They would slaughter a pig once a year because that's all they had. They had to wait for the next one to fatten. Organic pork fat was highly prized in my grandma's days (1888-1978). It was used to make many dishes and pastries.
Her diet was beans, various greens including stinging nettles, fish, seasonal fruit, her own honey, plenty of goats cheese and bread.
She spun her own silk and made her own fabric on the loom her husband built for her and was in her field till the day she died. She never watched TV. If she was sitting, she was eating, spinning silk, looming or reading.
My mother (grew up in village but then lived in the city) wasn't quite at her mother's level but close. My sister (grew up mostly in the city) another 4 levels down. Her great granddaughters (never been to a village city girls), useless.
Exactly, they ate meat once or twice a week - why eat it 3 times a day now?
- we never ate it that much, and people constatly claim as we did..
All this guy is saying - yes, do eat like we used to eat, eat meat once a week and plenty of veggies - I can guarantee you there would be no vegan movement if that stayed the same..
@@robob3ar Exactly. My friend's teenage daughters decided to become vegan based on what? The nonsense they are fed with.
It never occurred to me you could just make silk in you house with a loom, I don't know why. Thank you for the story about your grandmother, it's interesting to hear a slice of how folks lived so long ago.
Thank goodness he is not my dietician. He’ll kill me.
He knows its false. They eat mostly meat and cheese in italy. In japan they eat mostly fish. You can see hes just repeating a mantra. Beans especially are a really bad food with lots of fiber.
@@makingapointfiber is bad ?
Ask anyone who’s lived to that age and they say they’ve never worried about anything, including worrying about plant based diet.
My grandpa lived to be 98. Smoked everyday since he was 12 and ate crap 😂 Always said you gotta go out someway. Why not enjoy it?
One Expert Says Eat Beans The Other Says Beans Are Killing You, One Says Grain Are Healthy The Other Says Grains Can't Be Digested, One Says Plants Have Defensive Posion The Other Says Plants Will Make You Live Longer Oh Ok
I think we need all foods in our diet but they need to stop using GMOs and harmful pesticides.
“Way less fish than you would think”
**Japan has entered the chat**
Japan is not a blue zone, only Okinawa. The traditional Okinawan diet is only 1-2% meat/fish.
@@Siegfried5846 "A study of claimed longevity in Okinawa was unable to verify whether or not residents were as old as they claimed because many records did not survive World War II.[4] When analyzed in the 21st century, life expectancy in Okinawa was deemed to no longer be exceptional when compared to the rest of Japan, as "male longevity is now ranked 26th among the 47 prefectures of Japan" - From the Blue Zone Wikipedia.
AND STILL! Japan is well known for having the highest longevity in the world, and continues to possess a large elderly population. Many doctors attribute this to diets high in fish and vegetables and low in red meat.
@@endel12 So you don't even think Okinawa is a blue zone then? The people with the highest longevity are the seventh day adventist vegans in America.
Icaria is though, and from every documentary I’ve seen on it, they eat fish everyday.
okinawan eats lots of pork..hong kong are the oldest ppl now and they eat lots of pork..too bad if ur muslim..not many muslim live to a 100 from where i come from
Bro skipped over the most important fruit that they eat 80% of the time and is the food in the tropics also blue zones…Fresh organic fruit from strong soil
Great great grandmothers with 100 grandchildren around her is why she lives to 100! She is has reverence & utility. A large social network & community!
Auto immune issues cant have any of that 😱 i eat meat eggs and cheese water and coffee, no auto imm issues and feel great with no more medication
I depends on the autoimmune disorder. My friend went on a starch solution diet and lost a bunch of weight and her auto immune symptoms are no more. It's been several years with no reactions.
❤
I'm sorry. May want to get tested for gut permeability.
Generally speaking, do not take diet advice from the internet. You know your own body better than anyone else. I have taken many dieting tips from the internet. But catch all diets like these are usually destructive I find.
100%. His “pillars” are incorrect anyway. At least 3 of those blue zones have cow’s dairy. Does he actually think that Lima Linda, California does not have cow’s milk??? And the one in Sicily is loaded with cow and goat dairy.
My grandmother lived to 99 years missing her 100 birthday by a month. She drank bourbon every afternoon and was a smoker. She was in great shape and very active. Eating less calories is another way as proven in most rat and mouse studies.
What you people don't understand is this: Yes, you can find a couple of these among millions. But let millions do this and on average they die much younger. That's the power of genes.
@@dude861 genes do not have as much influence as you think, compared to clean eating, exercise, happiness.
Yeah that’s cool and all but that doesn’t mean we should all be doing this lmao. She’s obviously an outlier, just look at the data.
*CarnivoreMD has entered the chat*
Go get em!
Yes, let's chat about grains and beans😅
@Jamel Carpenter brother, 10 thousand years ago we hunted for just meat in the winter because that's all there was. If we died of iron overload back then there wouldn't be any humans. Iron overload is very hard to acheive unless you're supplementing it.
And has left
I gave up whole grains a couple years ago and never felt better. I gave up sweet potatoes beans and nuts .an started eating more red meats and never felt better.
Lol these dudes pushing strait up lies and cherry picked info at the detriment of others health. Most blue eat meat they are lying, and the ones that don’t don’t live any longer than neighboring communities that do eat meat. Also on a global scale Hong Kong eats the most meat in the world as a country and is the longest living country. They will avoid that at all costs.
Exactly. It's funny because,I really thought I was doing the right things . I wish I would of learned this 20 years ago.but thank God I woke up. I'm truly being honest here. I was so depressed dealing with horrible chronic pain due to the oxalates in my body. It took all those years to build up. Then when my first kidney stone the doctors don't even tell me what to avoid as far as foods go. They just say drink more water and stay away from potato chips LOL which is true but there's a little bit more to it than just potato chips and drinking more water. It's called calcium oxalates the build up in our systems. And it doesn't always settle and everybody's kidneys it settles and joints it can affect your brain it can affect so much. I'm just so grateful that I caught on. I don't want to post any before and after pictures but if I did you guys would see the difference I'm 57 years old and I look great
Cool stories bros. You’ll never make it to 100, but who the heck would want to anyway?
So I have an amine intolerance and and salycilate intolerance so red meat and eggs and white bread are my best friend
@@g99se9 you do not know that. Vegans have the same rate of strokes as meat eaters.
My grandfather made it to 100. Ate animal protein every meal.
Those people also do physical labor all day. They don't have time to eat 3x a day and snack in between.
They practice intermittent fasting daily, which is a huge factor in longevity.
We spike our insulin every couple of hours. That's why some of us are insulin resistant.
The gold standard differential reason for a long life in Blue Zones isn’t isolated to diet alone.
The biopsychosocial implications of blue zones and centenarians and how they live in communities - how food is cultivated, marketed, consumed, these are so important to look at.
The *how* is so important, not only the *what* !
@Max Total my whole body is smiling nourishingly right now reading this, I’m so with you. To be long. I want to live in a community like this!
Is it possible to create one where we live? I think the way is by being who we are freely, and then attracting those who are home inside themselves as an invitation for others to have the safety to feel at home inside themselves since the outer society is reflecting this. And then we feel safe, our systems feel safe and in harmony with our innate nature.
And then, not unlike wolves in a Wolfpack, we help walk each other home together.

Dang …. Wow
Done a heart MRI CAC scan lately - good to do to be sure.
Yes!!
Its good. Its not processed
Whole grains , whole foods with minimal or no chemical pollution from pesticides and weed management chemicals. Thanks for this well articulated guide to a good diet to build and maintain health.
I felt like you are being sarcastic lol
well idk, my people come out of Arkansas. ain't one of em died before they were 90 that didn't get hit by lightening or some other kind of accident. they eat (or ate) pork or bacon at every meal and cooked every danged vegetable in the bacon grease. with salt.
but there were beans offered at two meals a day, greens also, and 2 or 3 other vegetables as well. (yes, every meal was a buffet) there was also plenty of vinegar in different ways..refrigerator pickles, or fresh dressing etc

The fruit is your fiber so my digestive track is fine.
Plants builf up gas in your body. A plant based diet is a high carbohydrate diet. There is no difference between the carbohydrates in vegetables and carbohydrates in bread.
Besides, most plant based people look like Holocaust survivors. Weak and gaunt. Your muscle if you have any look flat. I am in to fitness
Exactly 💯
What role does cholesterol, saturated fat, carcinogenic amino acids, fecal matter, endotoxins, IGF-1, heme iron, nitrosamines, heterocyclic amines, trimethylamine N-oxide, and NEU5GC from animal products play in a healthy diet?
@@ObamaoZedong Cholesterol is a building block of healthy cells. Immune function. Hormones particularly sex hormones. Antioxidant. Vitamin D absorption.
You don't eat your friends but you have no problems killing snakes, mice and other small animals as the land is tilled for your soy vegetables and fruits not to mention you kill the honey bee.
Plus most of you vegans look like concentration camp victims as you are underweight.
My grandma is 104 years old, I asked her about her lifestyle and she told me she has always eaten whole cream with her morning cornflakes, steak at least once a day and fruit over vegetables because why eat something that tastes like grass when you can eat something that tastes like candy. Nothing like your whole plan going on here so I feel genetics triumphs diet.
Or hes skewing the data to meet his agenda.. and one of the Blue Zones is Loma Linda CA and they eat TONS of cheese, so hes full of bs..
It may but you're only getting 1/4 of your genetics from her. I guess you'll see either way eventually.
Steven I totally agree!! My. 94yr old Dad ate meats potato's. Greasy fried foods cakes pies cookies and popcorn. Chips and was sharp!! He never was on a diet in his life!! I smoked 2 packs a day and a chain smoker but I quite after 24 years!! My Dr was shocked my lungs heart and kidneys are perfect!!! He's taken cat scans; ekgs and you name it and seems upset I got good health lol
@@susanblanche9684 You’re incredibly lucky
@@Tockin yes thank you. I didn't mean to sound like I was bragging but it's God's grace!!
My grandparents. Both 100+. All meat 🥩 some veggies 🥦 Lots of eggs 🥚 and dairy 🥛. Super healthy.
Here in sardinia most centenarians also eat a lot of eggs. They eat meat, not too much but still do, drink red wine, a lot of olive oil, veggies, cheese. They move a lot and thats what i think is the most important thing.
My uncles just died at 97, boredom killed him.
10 Pillars of Life
Diet:
1 - Fruit
2 - Meat/Fish
3 - Organ meat (high in nutrients)
4 - Low temp pasteurized/raw dairy
5 - Honey
Body/Mind:
1 - Yoga
2 - Cold Shower/Cold Plunge
3 - Sauna/Steam Room
4 - Breathwork
5 - Meditation
You need vegetables, that diet is ridiculously stupid
13 hours later I’m coming back to reply to this comment again because this idiot really said honey was his fifth pillar of life. Your brain is rotted from nutrition videos on RUclips, or maybe it’s the honey/excessive amounts of meat
Source: trust me bro

In Okinawa they’re still active and in communities that give them meaning
And they eat fish every day
Okinawans eat more pork than other Japanese and live longer.
I'm not a scientist but I use to work in a store and I would ask the really old people what they ate most, and most said what ever they want to eat, a few said no sugar.
Never heard the term tubers before. it's apparently "Vegetables which grow underground on the root of a plant. Tubers are usually high in starch."
In Italy they eat dairy bur fresh dairy, fresh organic goat cheese or farm chesses, not processed cheese or dairies
Yes thats the ideal. Barely any processed
If I ate this I'd have osteoporosis, diabetes and heart desease.
This is what governments want.
This diet he is mentioning are the new international guidelines. We all will get pushed by force. Yes. I read that in their websites. I guess the new industrial revolution and 0 emmision zone guidelines that will also be pushed by force. We will be living like they want us to live and when to die too.
I am not sure about the meat thing as a whole. My Greek grandparents used to eat a lot of meat, eggs and cheese. BUT. It was the meat and eggs from their animals, they never ate cow dairy (only goat's and sheep's yogurt and cheese), minimal alcohol, no processed food whatsoever, no fats other than olive oil, and they did lots of physical activity and manual labor practically until they died.
Probably the last bit about physical activity is the most important factor to maintain physical and cognitive health.

I'm full carnivore...no veggies. My doctor doesn't know but says I'm the healthiest man alive!!!
I'm gonna go ahead and call B.S. on this.
Agree
Let me guess your over weight, American and eat meat everyday ?
My mom who’s 104 ate beef, eggs, butter, Potatoes a few veg, apples.
Rich you haven’t covered the blue zone water. What is significant about their water?
You have to be careful about grains and beans-can be toxic and also sugar bombs
The next expert 'beans and brown rice is poison '
My grandmother lived until 97 when she died In a car crash. She ate bacon with eggs cooked in the fat every day
1. Is it easier to hunt a wild bore or a broccoli? That’s what you eat more off. 2. If it comes in a container, don’t eat it.
All my grandparent’s and great grandparent’s lived to late 90’s early 100,s and they eat lots of meats and eggs. High cholesterol diets kept the cancer free and they were very happy people.
The factors that contribute, more or less, with other variables being equal, to longevity, are:
1. Your sex. Women live longer than men.
2. Your height. Shorter people tend to live longer than taller people.
3. Your formal educational level and wealth. People who are richer and people who have higher educational qualifications tend to live longer healthier lives.
4. The place you live. People who live in cities tend to live longer than those who live in the country, contrary to what many think about the stresses related to urban life. Even poorer people who live in cities, and who live near expensive neighbourhoods, live longer than their counterparts in more rural areas.
5. Your diet. People who eat less, and eat less meat, live longer than those who eat much more, and who eat more meat.
6. Your physical activity. Those who move more, regardless of type of movement, tend to live longer than those who move much less. People who live in cities walk more than those who live in the country or suburbs, who may drive more.
7. Type of physical activity. Those who do more cardiovascular exercises, eg runners and cyclists, live longer than those who do more strength exercises, eg bodybuilders and powerlifters. Note: extreme cardio athletes live shorter, eg ultramarathoners.
8. Your religion or lack of it. People who are religious practitioners (not just nominal) live longer than atheists and the nonreligious.
9. Your marital status if you're a man. Married men live longer than single men.
🤷🏻
And don't have a credit card bill either 😂😂
THIS!!!!
The common denominator with all of these people is eating very little. Go hungry, my friends!
@Matthew Lord why are so many people against vegetables the science is clear vegetables are healthy you can't show me any signs that tell you to eat less vegetables or no vegetables but I can show plenty telling you to decrease your meat consumption particularly red meats and processed Meats
@Matthew Lord so basically you can't refute all of the science so you just say it's false yeah that's an argument😂😂😂 so then you talk about industry funded studies when the most industry funded studies are put forth by the egg industry the dairy industry the beef industry, they have the most funded research strictly to confuse the consumer, you do realize in 2008 the Dairy Farmers of the world got together and said that they cannot defeat the fact that people are leaving milk and dairy products for healthier things so we have to pay for science that will at the very least confuse them this was classified documents release and by the way what the hell is the essential proteins do you mean essential amino acids also saturated fat is not essential, nor is cholesterol two things primarily found in animal Foods, also the whole plant defense chemical argument that's a tired washed over argument that has no legs do you know how many times I've heard that s***
@Matthew Lord first off, I did not say plans didn't have defense chemicals, or so-called defense chemicals, the question is, is that a problem? I hear so many people talk about oxalates, phytates, tannins, lectins Etc but I'm yet to see that being a problem for the vast majority of the population not small groups with pre-existing issues such as gut conditions like sibo, IBS Etc show me large population data where these things are problem for the vast majority of people, also you do understand there is a myriad ways to get around some of these perceived problems with vegetables you do understand that right, example oxalates are dramatically decrease when the vegetables are cooked, lectins are also broken down in the cooking process just two examples, I eat of vegetables no issues
Yes. Fasting is key. But if you do it right, you don’t feel hungry while fasting.
@Matthew Lord fatty meats is key. The fasting comes from being satiated.
You’re talking about diets from cultures that have yet to have their microbiome diversity eviscerated by too many antibiotics, a horrific diet, lifestyle, and insane stress. You can’t just tack a healthy diet on that, the root cause needs addressing. So much needs to change in order for us to know health in the West. We’ve fucked ourselves up and now there’s no quick fix.
A sense of community and family values. Here most families might have one kid and no values, the boomers had more sense of family. Aswell as physical labor. The only labor going on now is fingers moving on a phone like I'm doing right now lol.
Let's please not ignore activity levels, and also important: stress!
If you eat well, exercise in any way and stay chill, I daresay you're good to go.
Don’t forget a sense of community and purpose in life !
I have been eatings beans for protein for over 30 years I have no medical issues at all and I'm 76.
I'm gonna die before 100 or maybe 90 or 80 but will live a full life enjoying my meals.
My great, great grandmother was alive when I was younger, who was 108 by the way. She ate eggs and bacon every morning, with fried chicken for dinner. The meat isn't the problem, what the government does to our food during processing is what is killing us.
Plenty of people have smoked cigarettes all their lives and lived into their hundreds. When I became certified in nutrition at Cornell, I found that animal products are heavily linked through thousands of peer reviewed studies to 7 of our 10 leading causes of death. What role does cholesterol, saturated fat, carcinogenic amino acids, fecal matter, endotoxins, IGF-1, heme iron, nitrosamines, heterocyclic amines, trimethylamine N-oxide, and NEU5GC from animal products play in a healthy diet?
Interesting! The food/diet thing is so confusing. every 5 years or so some specialist comes up with a new fad.. ond day eggs are the worst food, 5 years later is the best thing you can eat.. and all kinds of other fails.
Centenarians who live to be 100 in good physical and mental health should be there ones writing the dietary guidelines for society (for those seeking good health, of course).
They did, his name was Ancel Keys, and his books are older than you are.
Dont listen to just about anyb specialist, who's looking to make headlines in the news.nLook for serious long term studies and their finding. Their results are consistent over the decades: whole food plant based diet.
@@Joseph1NJ thank you I'll look into it.
I keep a good diet, very much in the lines this guy is describing.. I'm basically a vegan who eats beef once in a while.
Eggs were sold as a health food only by articles funded by the egg industry. The studies have since been debunked. I believe Mic The Vegan on youtube has a series going in depth on it.
I have read "Blue Zones" and other info Dan B has published. While the diet of centinarians may be similar, what's probably equally important is what they don't eat... highly processed/packaged foods, sodas, etc. And, as may commenters have pointed out, physical activity.
I eliminated those you mentioned and my SIBO and other gut issues, Fibromaylagia , high HB1AC and depression has gone after 20 years eating that garbage.
Health can be controlled by you if you do the correct fixes before organ damage but longevity is granted by the Lord only
Always be leery of people who boil down longevity to food. Diets are basically religion right now. These people disregard genetic factors and commit a false causality fallacy.
The interesting part about all the blue zones excluding Okinawa is they’re all either sheep or goat farmers. 60-80% of their diet is goat, lamb and dairy from the herd. It’s rich in mct. They eat fruits and vegetables but it’s only a small part of their diet.
Thank you finally someone says it!
Why is this dude lying his head off?
Read the book - that's not true. The diets of these centenarians is primarily plant based.
@@mastersathlete7380 You realize there are hundreds of books and thousands of studies, right? not just one view! Look at the Preston Price foundation for a compilation then Id recommend for the sake of truth seeking to stop listening to people with a foregone conclusion that fail to acknowledge and account for the evidence that interferes and contradicts their own conclusions. If they dont acknowledge it, they aren't being straight with you..this is how to look at real research in real journals, not outsourcing sense-making and believing those who will corrupt the power that gives them. And they are legion, and often very wealthy.

The sardinians live in a mountainous rocky area unsuitable for much agriculture. They are a sheepherding society. that means they eat plenty of lamb meat and dairy.
Most important was their activity level. Which was far far more than anything we see today. That and they eat Whole Foods. Boxed Pre processed foods are unhealthy junk. Get active eat real foods including meats. Live long and prosper 🖖🏻
The key of every diet is that not all diet are for every one. Every individual has his nutrition needs. The nuits in the Artic , they do not have beasn, greens, frutis to eat but just what they catch, and their nutrition is base on 60-70% Animal fat and 20 % animal proteins, once o twice in a year maybe a little honey. Their life span is around 70' s but they rarely got sick or have heart related conditions due to high cholesterol or blood pressure issues... The key is eating less ( maybe 1 or2 light meals a day) and moving more, a simple life, avoid sugar of any kind, pray, meditate, be in peace at home and outside, have some fun fron time to time , and be happy!
Eat the opposite of what he is saying and you are good. He listed the worst foods to eat.
Especially if you have autoimmune diseases!
I used to eat exactly what you mentioned. Minimally processed Whole grains, beans, tubers, no dairy and became autoimmune. Now I eat vegetables that I can tolerate and animal based diet with fasting and improved my condition significantly. Proof is in the pudding.
Wrong. Maybe for you . Everyone’s makeup of their body is different. It’s not soo black and white.
You forgot about natives in the arctic who eat none of that. What is in common with all these groups is LACK of “processed foods” and seed oils
My great grandfather lived to be 101. He ate food off his land and native to Mississippi. He ate pork but never chicken. He ate buttermilk and cornbread but never cereal. Everything was 100% homemade. Not one ounce of boxed food in the home. He moved 90% of the day as well
This is excellent; however, I like what Dr. Michael Greger says about any animal food ingestion.
If these blue zone people are already eating 90-97% plant based then going 100% is even healthier for us. No study has shown otherwise.
@@InspiriumESOO Indeed!
Greger is a broken record of bad information. Lunatic with a PhD.
@@sandystrait3878 Your ad hominem remarks will get you nowhere
A good, happy life no matter the length is the most important. You also need a lot of money if you live a long time
They also don’t have 10x the social connections nor stressful jobs and a way an easier pace of life. The old phrase where is “stress kills” is the understatement of the century.
You can't go by what he is saying. My wife's family live into their 90s. Her mom will be 96 this year. I am diabetic I can't have beans and tubers. My family ate that all their lives beans and grains. They don't make it past 80...
GMOs and pesticides make it worse
Finally coming back to Indian 🇮🇳 diet 🤣
Without the dairy though...
Then why do Indiana drop dead from heart attacks and diabetes? Nice try
Because we stopped following proper diet. We use too much oil, sugar and masala these days.
Exactly. India and Mexico have the highest rate of diabetes in the whole world. Most older Indian women are fat and suffer from limited Mobility.
Indians have 5 times more chronic illnesses than US
I guess my 100 year old grandfather who drank and smoked for about 75 years didn't get that memo😂
An anecdote isn’t a trend
@@rubyattwood NOT saying it is. Just saying I hate how all these so-called "experts" all ways think their way is the best and only way to be healthy. I've listened to so many experts who say eat this not that to be healthy. If you listen to all of them who claims to have scientific evidence their way is the right and only way to be healthy you'll find you can't eat anything, because what ever you eat there's a expert telling you why it's bad for you from vegetables to meat, grains, butter, oils the list is endless 😫
So you're saying smoking is recommended for longevity?
Not eating meats is gay
@@rubyattwood and a localized trend isnt a global rule.
What matters just as much if not more is how much you eat. Constantly metabolizing large amounts of food wears on our cells over time.
It is all about activity and diet to keep blood sugar low. More protein, less carbs. The carbs in Europe are much healthier than anything grown in the USA.
Couldn't disagree more. RED MEET is essential source of BIOAVAIlABLE nutrients
Exactly
I agree. But please edit your spelling so as not to embarrass us. 😅
It kind of makes sense that humans would live longest with plants though.
People forget we were starving monkeys in the wild for most of our existence.
The Blue Zone study is baloney. Cherry picked data. Step1. Start with an bias driven agenda. Step 2. Refuse to include pragmatic facts that refute your claim, Step 3. Finally settle for nothing less than a conclusion that supports your hypothesis. Brilliant. When that professors own institution wouldn't publish his findings that should have informed everyone about the quality of the "study."
Well said ☝️
Totally agree. I am open to all diets have no political persuasion. I watching Paul saladino and Dr chafertee the other day talking about blue zones and other people of the carnivorous party saying "look at blue zones, they eat mostly meat fish and some salad and fruit" 🤣🤣 Whatever fits your narrative! I'm 45 years old been following various diets in my life to find the optimal and you know what. Just a healthy balanced diet reducing crap is the best way. That includes meat and fish along with veg, nuts and fruit. Not beans they ain't good for anyone!!
@@mikealls8938 Im 42, been doing carnivore the last 4 years, im following Sean Baker, Ken Berry, recently Profesor Bart Kay, super funny guy, I think its important to keep an open mind, but doing carnivore fixed a debilitating low back pain, and now I feel better than in my 20's, so for me, is the best.
@@metal7core Yep I have zero issues with my Crohn's disease when I eat mainly meat fish and salad . Also goats cheese and some berries. If I start with pasta, bread beans fibrous veg I am in a world of hurt! I agree with the vegan fraternity that the meat industry is cruel and I get the fight. But don't try to persuade everyone to your way of eating as everyone is different and they need to find their own way.
@@mikealls8938 same here Christian…. I have ulcerative colitis, if I eat fish, meats, like chicken and certain cuts of pork and vegetables or salads…. I feel amazing.. (meats like steak do tend to bother me, as does ground beef) ….
I also enjoy and love many types of squash…. I do LOVE garbanzo beans (chick peas) but I have to make them myself from dried beans… I soak them overnight with a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with the mother in the water…. Rinse well after soaking, cook as normal! I never, ever have intestinal issues that way… it’s the only way I can eat beans… the reason beans bother me sometimes is they haven’t been prepared properly.
When I do eat bread, it’s bread that I have made myself, sourdough…. Long fermented, using ancient grains such as Einkorn….basically… I practice a Whole Foods, olde world kitchen…. It’s hard, hard work and is literally a full time job…. But it’s improved not only my health, but my husbands also.
Take care 💕❤️🙏🏼
96.5 year old Mom, sharp as a tack, still gets around, ate the normal SAD ... some of this is genetics, folks.
I'm a welder, none of us make it out of our 60's no matter WTF we eat
My 100 year old grandma ate butter and lots of it! 😂
Yup… butter , beef, eggs, fish…
Somehow this guy left off the most important food.
Red meat.
Well what do you expect? In the end he said Whole Foods plant based… so there is the agenda
Man started with grains and that’s all I needed to hear to know blue zone diets are not necessarily the optimal diet. He mentioned all whole foods, though, which is key to longevity. Avoiding meat and eggs, and eating more grains and beans is not the answer
I eat meat and eggs every day. I eat veggies (cruciferous) and salads almost every day too. I also eat nuts and seeds, and a little fruit (berries). Never felt better in my 58 years than I do now. Fasting is also something everyone should do - regular intermittent fasting and longer fasts every now and then..............
Mi traducción: Los cinco pilares de toda dieta de longevidad en el mundo son los cereales enteros, las verduras, los tubérculos como el camote, los frutos secos y frijoles. De hecho, si comes alrededor de una taza de frijoles al día, probablemente estés agregando unos cuatro años a tu esperanza de vida. Comen algo de carne, pero solo unas 5 veces al mes, mucho menos pescado y menos huevos de lo que piensas. Por cierto, no hay productos lácteos o no lo consumen en las zonas azules. Y beben sobre todo agua, unos seis vasos al día, té y café. Porque si quieres saber lo que comía un centenario para llegar a los 100, tienes que saber lo que comía cuando tenía diez años, y cuando era adulto joven y de mediana edad y jubilados. No puedes simplemente preguntarle a un centenario qué ha estado comiendo últimamente. Y lo que surge es un patrón muy claro. Ya sea que esté en Asia, Europa, América Latina, los estados unidos, comen del 90 al 100% de alimentos integrales a base de plantas.
gracias
we know time is realative and we still focus on living long life, we are dumb.
Time is relative but it has an objective foundation in the lifespan of a human being. Time is relative in collaboration with great forces like gravity, mass and momentum but not to us stationary puny little things. Maybe a human soul can experience something like timelessness but our bodies are very much tied to objectively measurable timespans common to us all.
@@stevenburrito7032 60 years is plenty for me. 75 is plenty for most people. No one needs to live past 90.
@@jackjack4412 When you are 60 years old, then you can judge if you have lived long enough. On the hour of your deathbed, you just might be pining for more...
Complete none sense!! The majority of my village seniors passed away over the age of 98, and all of them were heavy meat eaters.
There are many reasons to live a long and healthy life, and excluding meat definitely is not one of them.
"Whole food plant based" doesn't translate to how a vegan eats though, with all the manufactured products. I'm Greek, and my grandparents who both lived into their 90's, did eat as he describes, but they produced their own food, from wheat for bread, to goats milk and cheese, to all their own fruits and vegetables. They also went through various wars in their youth, which lead to periods of hunger, they worked physically hard and were part of a tight community. All these things contribute, not just diet. Finally they lived in the Mediterranean before Chernobyl.
Lol 😆 Beans. Give me a break
...yes. they've been researched extensively
I think they mean fresh, like fresh peas and string beans.
Beans and Nuts are the cornerstones of a healthy diet.
Beans and nuts are full of toxins
They are not
They are indeed .
Good luck with that
You can find studies that support any type of diet.
The key to long life is intermittent fasting.
The key to life is Balance
@@saraiday1646 Agreed, and yet intermittent fasting of 16/24+ hours is in my opinion the most important recommendation. Long duration fasting can increase HGH (human growth hormone) by 2000%. HGH is what creates testosterone which does all sorts of wonderful things in the body in both the male and female body. The second most important thing is cutting out ALL sugars or things that convert into sugars. High fats and sugars are a deadly combination. Third, my meal is at 2:00. The reason being, is because it takes about 6 hours for the stomach to empty into the small intestine. By following this sequence you will achieve a better nights sleep which is really important for body healing. Thanks for the comment, God bless.
I used to eat potatoes, but I was an idiot...
This guy has confirmation bias that's coming out of all pores..
No meat or water??? Yea, ima walk out on this “nutty” nonsense.
What role does cholesterol, saturated fat, carcinogenic amino acids, fecal matter, endotoxins, IGF-1, heme iron, nitrosamines, heterocyclic amines, trimethylamine N-oxide, and NEU5GC from animal products play in a healthy diet?
the common denominator is unprocessed food... food from their environment too seems to be big (wild and seasonal)
I think the food could be meat... just wild.
And just to clarify, all pasta are considered tubers
Carnivore is king!
Carnivore is king!
Carni, carni, carni, carni,

Huh?
He's spreading ignorant misogyny. Competitive professional athletes are vegan or plant based. There's a machismo and 'i must eat meat' false belief. A pb sandwich has more protein than a small steak. 😏
started more carnivor, only sugar or carb is blue berries, and raw dairy. never felt better stomach wise. I feel so comfortable and am craving butter as I type. help me.
@some people in the comments, just because your grandma ate horrible and lived to 100 doesn’t mean eating real food isn’t important. There are other factors that could’ve played a role in her longevity and the pork and booze probably wasn’t one of them lol. If she had a sense of community, purpose and lived an active life then this could’ve made her live as long as she did. Eating healthy (although it’s important), is not a cure all or guarantee that you’ll live a long life. You need to make sure other aspects are good as well, as I mentioned above. Eat organic produce, meat that isn’t from the grocery store (but do eat meat.. no pork though), MOVE. No workout routine needed. Just move. Bend down sometimes. Walk outside, bike. Anything. Just stop sitting around so much. Build close healthy relationships with people and know your purpose in life.
Get out of your room and walk outside. Feel the wind, the sunshine. Go finally hangout with someone who makes you smile
Poisoned plants sure!
