According to YOU, what is a great life and how can one live it?
Avoiding the traps of life, sooooo many. Close family and friends. In general, avoid junk foods of every description with some treats even if somewhat toxic. Take high quality supplements such as - HQ again: Multi Vitamin to at least to ensure most if not all basic needs are met. As well as other HQ supplements where required. Keep body and mind active, always keep learning and do things that make you happy - Be happy as the song mentions
Living a life where you can stay with family and enjoy the seasons, seasons to be busy, seasons to be chillaxing. Fresh air, birds chirping, and hopefully a great ocean view.^^
Drive fast cars
Will, sorry to say but i really didnt like this video...I loooooved it😂😂😂!!! Im 49 and only now after sufferring from being a HSP with dysfunctional family I am changing my mindset to be who I am which is A GREAT HUMAN BEING who doesnt follow the herd but trying to do it MY WAY ..😊, your quest is inspiring and am sure inspiring so many to have revalations on their own lives. The video kept me Engrossed 110%..without expecting to be. I have always wanted to travel to Japan. Okinawa made famous by karate kid ..mr.miyagi..for me in the 80's. You are a true researcher ..and using your G-d given gifts to shine ..wow. I truly applaud the work and heart you put into it.
Try to focus on what you have .Count your blessings. Enjoy the simple things in life- coffee, music, long walks ,workouts, ,cooking, company of friends , traveling , watching positive content (like this one) ,journaling & staying miles away from bitter,mean & negative people who are always complaining about something or the other.
I totally agree with your last comments. I just turned 70 and I think it's not about how long you live, rather HOW you live. Make the best of every moment of the day.
I love that
Very true ❤
@@Sprouhtyou are handsome my friend,from Saudi Arabia❤
I am 69, and l do think Blue Zones ideas are excellent-eat well and more plant based, have a supportive community, keep moving, have something to get up for each day. Even though being who you truly are is very important, we in the West must also realize we live in community also. Be grateful, and don't let anybody take away your internal joy.
@@jennylugtu689Romans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
One of the most valid videos I’ve ever seen. If more men gathered in small groups just for the purpose of TALKING as these guys did, imagine how the figures for male depression, addiction and suicide would plummet. I wish all men had the ability to take care of their mental health needs in this way so they could be happier, healthier and more fulfilled in later life rather than regretful, obese and unhappy. Men, please take note. You are not the position you hold, the money you earn, the house you live in - you are a soul who needs to be nurtured and to find peace within yourself, and if you achieve that THEN you will truly be happy. Trust me.
The answer is peace. Peace, low stress, less processed food, an activity. These people aren’t buying “stuff” to impress people.
I loved, loved. I'm from one of the countries with more life expectancy in the world too: Spain, and I enjoyed very much the energy and interview with this old lady. My grandma died last year with 101 years old and she was wonderful too; she exercised, read everyday, ate all the things that she loved (mostly vegetables and fish, but also some sweets! :P) and had friends too! However, she saw many friends of her die as she was very old! Haha :) When she was 60, she had a car accident with her husband. He died, but she did not. She loved him a lot but I never heard her complaining about life; she was quite happy with herself, even when being alone. Things got a bit difficult when she couldnt walk anymore at 96 y.o, but I will always remember her attitude, even when she did not know many things about emotional intelligence or personal development. She had this knowledge inside her and was very insightful :) Keep going with your content! I love your channel!
Thank you for sharing the story of your Grandma, it’s very inspiring & positive. Blessings to you!🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing Marta! Gracias.
Gracias

This was one of your BEST videos on so many levels. I had tears in my eyes watching it!
Thank you so much!!
Awww. The 95 year old lady is so adorable.
Sweet and cute as can be. I would have liked to see her dance.
It’s Okinawa my favorite place and also my home! We are really easy going and enjoying the life here. I’m so happy to born and grow up here:)
💛
Please keep posting videos like this! I suddenly realised that I have been working and living without a reason to achieve the "life" that is not exist. When the 95 years grandma remind me to live life slow and enjoy your life every seconds to make a day, she won everything. She has achieved and find the real happiness and happiness is just everything and everywhere when you are positive. Hope to visit Okinawa one day! I am flying over from Malaysia to Australia and hopefully I can see and experience life in a different angle when I start to live slow, enjoy doing what I am doing. This is what life should be! ❤
WOW Australia is where my favourite Artist lives.
Good luck. Find your bliss❤😂
Very interesting! I moved to Canada from Tokyo years ago and worked so hard to the point I became really sick. It is true what I was taught from my parents were work hard. As a result of it you become isolated. I have seen other documentaries about Blue Zones in Okinawa. They are very local community oriented and gather and eat, dance and sing. Very simple life but fulfilling life. Japanese called Ikigai. I might have forgotten when I moved here. Thank you for your inspiring videos. When you need a translator in Japan next time let me know.
that 95 year old lady with beautiful cheekbones! They garden here as well, and they live in community’s backed on each other - not stuck alone in high rises. My mum lived until 96 and she had a great positive nature and well loved, didn’t eat very much..
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I think the biggest factor is purpose in life. Without something to drive you passionately to wake up each morning, you'll never find fulfillment and longevity. Also the blue zone book you read was written during a period that was very different in Okinawa. The centenarians in the book(during that period) ate differently, had purpose, had social interaction, were valued as they aged, worked until they couldn't, very active. Now, it's very westernized with the same metabolic diseases and processed foods that western society has.
Cool video, I used to live in Japan but didn’t get to visit Okinawa yet. My roommate in university was from there and I learned a lot when his family visited. Interesting culture. Stay positive!!
This is excellent. Something I would like to add to the blue zone facts is the conclusion of why the blue zones work is: relationships as in having a healthy familiarized helpful kind community. The tiny interactions at the cashiers and coffee shops, having friendships with neighbours and spending time with friends has been concluded to contribute to life expectancy prolongation, illness reduction, job opportunities and economic advantage. The Blue xones are the model structural environments to let this flourish. The way society is being constructed now is not conducive to this.
'Use your money on what excites you'. Couldnt agree more.
I'm 23, my advice would be to be positive, happy, healthy, and kind. Life is short to stress about the bad things happening around the world. Enjoy your life, travel, experience new things. Live life to the fullest 😊😊❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. So many amazing people. "Live slow" is the best advice.
William. Hey! So happy to see how your channel is doing! I am really glad to see, your energy is well invested! You take the time to really listen to people, they open up and they are honest to you. Great content! God bless you!
Best video to date. It was so great watching you along your journey. This was such a pleasure to watch, thank you so much for your service to this world.
great film, really enjoyed it. Thank you for making.
As a transplant from my native Tokyo to a Seattle suburb in the stateside, I found your coverage insightful. Thank you! Also a thought-provoking summary and observations on Okinawa, which is drastically different from the mainland Japan. One another thing I'd add, after having gone though both the Japanese and the American healthcare systems (roughly 25+ years in each), the universal healthcare we have in Japan, in comparison to the U.S. Despite its flaws (no system is perfect), it is far more equitable and accessible with a stronger focus on the preventative medicine, than the private-sector driven, outrageously for-profit, greedy American healthcare system in which by the time the patients actually get to see the docs, it is often too late.. (Attested by a Japanese liver transplant surgeon who worked in the U.S.) The U.S. healthcare system seems to lack the very basic, moral principle. Unfortunately, the U.S. is a country where a moderate, very mainstream Centrist such as Sen. Bernie Sanders somehow gets labeled as "radical" left by the corporate owned MSM and the politicians who are beholden to the plutocrats who actually runs this country...!
This was soooo amazing to watch. I feel so lucky to have been able to hear what all those people had to say ❤️❤️
Amazing amazing video Sprout!
Stumbled across ur vids last week cant stop watching.
keep up the good work
Thanks so much
Awesome my friend that is a good life lesson. We all need to slow down and breath and be happy . I think when we exercise and eat healthier that helps the mind as well. Thanks Will for another great video Cheers my friend
Love to see you explore these important questions/topics in such depth, Will. Appreciate you for not going off of what you read on the internet but instead immersing yourself in the experience so wholehartedly. And so cool to see that the lady at the end jounrals every morning, was not expecting that for some reason! 💛
Thanks guys ❤
That old lady was so adorable and inspiring. I'd like to be like her if I ever get to that age.
Thank you for your service soldier from Inglewood California. God bless & be safe. Thank you for the video. Love learning from our elders. 🙏🏽🌷
Fabulous presentation - many thanks for sharing - greatly appreciated!
Thankyou! Love this!❤❤❤
As someone who is healing from social anxiety, from my experience I know social connection plays a big part in our health and wellness! I feel like deep authentic social connections and the connection to our selves as well as healing any pain we carry from the past in our hearts plays a huge part in living a long and healthy life. Laughter is key, forgiveness, peace, self love, listening to your heart, expressing creativity, managing stress, self reflection but not to the point it consumes you, all the little things we do each day that feed our heart and soul and not our fears lead to a lighter life. It is then easier to enjoy life today in the here and now without being too anxious about the future and where we are heading. life is so much better when you have people you love and trust to share the highs and lows with. Take care of your selves everyone you deserve it! :)
I followed you at 5k when making Montreal and Vancouver videos because I thought you made good quality videos for such a small RUclipsr. Haven't been keeping up with RUclips but I've seen you've grown a lot. Congratulations dude, I'm routing for you
what a great video (again). Keep up the inspiring work
Dear you are so broad-minded person l am crazy about watching your videos the reason they help me to realize how life is precious.lm 19
bro you might not remember me but i remember seeing your channel in my comments section a year or two ago and i just wanna say its good to see your channel blow up recently, this was a cool ass video and gl on your future ones
Thank you so so much man
great video and great interviews! i love the food that you've shown but that last interview with the 95 year old is very touching. I'm at the age where i'm finding purpose in life and also chasing happiness and enjoying life with my family. can';t wait to watch the next one!
You are from Montreal , you most know that Cote St Luc in Montreal have a lot of people close to 100 year old ,and even more 💪 . You do not have to look for them , you can see them everywhere 👍😉 ; Centennial Park , the library , Cavendish Mall playing bridge in the CLSC ( on the 2 floor ) , banking ,shopping etc. That most be Canadian " Blue Zone " 🤔❗
The video answers the question about LIFE. The question isn't about " What do you live to do?", it is " What is Life?". The answer is LOVE. I have been reading and watching a lot of old people and experts talk about their lives, and I see one same thing is LOVE. You should find something and someone you love to spend with in your life, and even when you get old, find something to make you busy. Why Japanese people live so long and healthy, they work until they can't, the works can be cooking, gardening, or dancing like the old lady 95 years old doing. I am really happy for myself at 30 years old now, because I find the secrets of happy life so early, and I can enjoy the rest of my life and watching everything in my life in slow way, and also get through hard times. LOVE.
What If u don't have anyone or anything to love tho?😊
@@user-mj6qr2ky9ddont give up,keep moving forward,have a really nice day and take care of you
It’s not so much eating healthy, surrounding yourself with friends and happiness etc., it’s the other way around : enjoying your food (better healthy, still), being friendly and be happy with whatever life has in store for you. It doesn’t come from outside, but from inside (and then tends to manifest outside). I’m 47 and quite happier than when I was 27, basically thanks to these principles (externally, I think my life isn’t really better nor great).
We live in a fast, results-oriented world, we want the tried and true path to a happy life when it's a little different for everyone. How are you going to figure that out if you don't put in the time? If you don't have the courage to make your own mistakes and learn? I get making a living is hard, but it's your life in the end. It is what it is.
great video sprought.........keep up the good work and interesting videos
Great video!! So heartwarming. I agree with your statement at the end...Just got to prioritize what we know is healthy for us. It's difficult when the world around us is happening so fast paced in the city...Learning to slow down is key...Thank you! ❤
One of your best so far Will
Thanks for this making video
Needed this video today! Thanks bro 💙
Wow !! I was following you while you were in Canada 🇨🇦. Now, in Japan. Where about next?
I am learning a lot of experience.
Different lifestyles with totally different people in different places
. I must say your channel is super extraordinary university without fees. THANKS FOR SHARING great and positive videos.
I'd really appreciate your time and you.
will I really enjoy your interviews and now your videos. Tx. Rich
Family is from Okinawa and it’s a completely different vibe there from the mainland. The pace of life is slower and you can enjoy life better here.
I was literally sobbing when watching that last lady..
I'm new here and I ❤️❤️❤️ every one of your videos ! Ty
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Beautiful video man
From Japan but from main land.
Thank you for visiting our place.
I was not sure Japan is called like that.
AMAZING INTRO, love this
Wow you went with Takashi cool... having a great mind set is key I think and I agree with the 95yr lady to live slowly or take it slowly, life goes very fast and even after turning 40 I noticed the days go fast if you dont take time to enjoy them, what makes you feel joyful is different for all of us, Some days I like just sitting in nature and listening to birds and critters in the park. I live in southern Sydney so I am lucky we have lots of Bushland and trails.
At 75 now, I think I know.
Your body including the mind is liken to a vast distributary network.
When the flows is good you will stay healthy.
When it get choke up that’s when it get sick and weakened.
Thanks for sharing this one to us...😊😊😊
i would love to live in okinawa. it's just my kind of place.
Are you planning on traveling to "Vilcabamba" Ecuador is also considered one of the places with long life expectancy
Yes, Okinawans have a very high life expectancy. But Japanese in general live longer than anyone else in the world, it is very common to come across people who are in their 90s working in restaurants and walking to train stations. I lived in Japan for 10 years, you almost never meet an obese person, I think it's a combination of genes and lifestyle. When you ask them in real life, what is the secret of your longevity, most will say I don't know because they did not have a plan to live long. I think, the lifestyle (their diet contains many superfood (fermented and pickled stuff), fish, etc) and they move a lot. What's also amazing, they don't just live long, they are very old and mobile and healthy. That's a big different from non-functional old age ( e.g. bedridden 90 year old).
Great video. If you can can you do a video on other blue zones. Would love a video on other blue zones like italy etc
Bro can you make more of okinawa and Sardinia please .

Beautiful video!
This was so good and so important. I think you diagnosed it correctly, too. We know what we need to do, but we don't allow for those things like connecting with friends, eating healthily, exercising to be more central to our existence. It's sad we're programed to forfeit our time and agency to upholding and sustaining the corporatized systems and infrastructure made by the elite to keep the 99.9% of us under their tow.
awesome video, MOAI got me thinking though..😢
I was so happy when I saw TAKASHIIIIII🎉🎉🎉🎉
If we can be ,care for each other no matter where we come from ,Color or language, that's also part of it ,smile 😅😅😅😅😅😅
The Blue Zones is a serious long term research effort by National Geographic. The best way to learn about it is to read their book.
Hello how're you doing?
The secret is called LOVE💛
Great Food
This was beautiful
Awesome
Thank you 💕
“Use your money to do what excites you”. My takeaway.
Thank you. X
You have to have a goal, even if it is a little one. Healthy is very important
Maybe live is also about the footstep you left behind
“What is the secret to living to 95?”
“Each day, I think of how I can spend the best day, and I find joy and happiness in myself”
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant 😊I❤ now go to Sardinia another blue zone
Ikigai, become a takumi / artisan in your area of work. Never retire. Sleep early and wake early. Eat less. Eat wholesome foods and minimise intake of processed food. Daily low to moderate intensity physical activity like gardening / farming. Be kind and friendly to every one. Learn from stoic and buddhist teachings.
poorest prefecture Ogimi village is center of longevity
Awesome video..bro 👍
god deym, Lola looks just 70 but shes 95 and you can feel the happiness on her words
Great interesting video. Only thing I noticed, everyone was still wearing mask. It would’ve been better if you guys wore them too especially when speaking with them. I know it’s not required anymore but just for the sake of fitting in since you’re in their country
Loved it
The most important part went the fastest.
Sea grapes and bitter melon are some of the healthiest foods, and are eaten there
What gear do you use to film your videos?
Will will will, so sweet you are😊
Take care of your body, positive outlook on life and most importantly genetics
just found your channel, its great but now I have some catching up... !!
Imagine living into your late 80/90s only to be told you are a burden by your family and die in poverty. This is the REAL reality of millions of the elderly in China, Korea and Japan SMH
There’s a book written about this in case anyone doesn’t know. Just traveling and asking locals aren’t gonna get you answers, just fun content.
thank you
All 5 blue zones have great scenery and live next to gorgeous beaches..but there’s also suicide in Japan in that forest
❤❤❤
Wow!they also gossip together!!!in the philippines all they do is gossip gossip gossip.ask marites.
❤
