I connect with those with whom I resonate. I limit my exposure to social media. I just love to see people face to face. I walk rather than drive. I cycle every day. I don't go to the gym. I have real friends and we would do anything for each other, plus I really enjoy the connection to my students during my work. I eat plant based. I rest when I am tired.

Just live a great life as much as u can. Living to 100 doesn’t mean a great life. U want a life that is filled with quality as much as u can. Quality can be simple things, like having a loving cat. Or a vegetable garden. A swimming pool. But living long should not be the goal. Living a life that u enjoy is much more about happiness. Many old ppl are not happy cause they can’t enjoy the things they loved to do. They don’t get yo see enough ppl side all their friends r gone. So, just live a nice, enjoyable life of what u like and stop worrying about reaching 100, cause 100 may not be the quality u need. U will need 2 caregivers usually. One is not enough cause u beed exercise. U need the other one to stay up and watch you cause u might need help at night for incidentals.

Hard to have a sense of purpose in your life when you have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to pay the bills. The Okinawans have good health care too. If you don't, you might be stressed. In the inner cities, streets are NOT redone every 7 years. "Move to a happier place?" The average American does not have US$400 in savings to weather any type of emergency.

It's really nice to hear the bright side of news. Thanks

I love this direction of thinking and living. Good stuff!

I struggle to figure out how to apply this kind of information to my own life. Gardening and making all of my food from scratch simply adds hours upon hours upon hours of additional labor to my days. It also costs quite a bit of money. I have a colleague who lives on 2 acres here in North Texas, and he spends thousands on his garden. He eats from it. And preserves a lot of the food that he grows from it. But he puts far more time and money into the soil than he gets out. So for me, these are things that I can really only consider for my retirement. I simply don't have any more time to get up in the morning before work, or come home after work and basically farm on my property. Kudos to people who can prioritize this, but I don't have the time or the money.

Dan looks amazingly good! This is a great lifestyle change!

Trying to replicate a lifestyle that contributes to longevity by distilling it to a diet plan is reductionist and careless. So many more factors contribute to the length, or shortening, of telomeres than simply eating a particular way, i.e. cutting out meat. Dan's M.O. has always been veganism, which the Ikarians were NOT. Some ate little meat, and those are the ones he pushes to the front of the line to bolster his arguments, but the reality, just as with the China Study, is that ancient cultures ate animal protein. PERIOD. There has never been a vegan culture anywhere on the planet that lived long enough, or sustained veganism long enough, to leave anthropological evidence of themselves. There are good reasons for this, as the deep wisdom of our ancestors knew.

Generalizations are harmful. Many people want to live simpler. Many would prefer not to pay 1/2-2/3 income in rent alone. People here leave their home towns so they can support their families at home. It doesn’t mean there isn’t greed in the U.S. and there are Way more people in lower working class, and poor communities, created by the gov, who just want healthcare and quality education, than there are who control who gets access to wealth. And thank you for bringing that up. It’s called lateral oppression when working class people blame other working class people for the situation that they were All in (not enough resources to live easily). It’s one of the most powerful tools of the ruling classes. When we step back and look at the bigger picture, we can then begin to assess what we as working people need to do in order to create the experience that we want to have, which for many includes more time with family, access to healthcare, access to time off when sick, access to vacation time, not having to choose between cooking and buying gas for your car.

I have no idea what that is, but guess it might be about Dr Birxx! 😍 The US anti-vaxxer politics has nothing to do with the reliability or otherwise of random guys writing diet nonsense in books, as far as I can see (ie beyond stereotyping). Food for thought.

Simplicity 🤎🙏🏾👏🏾

Beans are versatile, go well with salmon, a salmon stew of white beans with onions is delicious. They say to live long a person has to be consistent with their diet, to eat the same foods for life, have a good relationship with family, and to know how to handle problems.

A can of sardines and a 🍋can do wonders.

Just live a great life as much as u can. Living to 100 doesn’t mean a great life. U want a life that is filled with quality as much as u can. Quality can be simple things, like having a loving cat. Or a vegetable garden. A swimming pool. But living long should not be the goal. Living a life that u enjoy is much more about happiness. Many old ppl are not happy cause they can’t enjoy the things they loved to do. They don’t get yo see enough ppl side all their friends r gone. So, just live a nice, enjoyable life of what u like and stop worrying about reaching 100, cause 100 may not be the quality u need. U will need 2 caregivers usually. One is not enough cause u beed exercise. U need the other one to stay up and watch you cause u might need help at night for incidentals. Many capable centenarians can help themselves, but they really shouldn’t be left alone.

All those Sardinians!

An appealing wellness opportunity has entered the market next to the existing sickness opportunities.

what about Fruit?

I agree with changing a subpar environment before resorting to changing your own behavior or core self (unless you are an a**), but what if my terrible environment is my literal face and body? Can’t exactly move out of my own skin..

Diet is but one part of it. Genetics, lifestyle and predisposition are the rest. No one is ever guaranteed to live to 100 no matter how healthy your diet, but we can at least give it our best shot with propper nutrition and lifestyle

I have young children who have loving relationships with but no close friends. I have healthy habits, veg, exercise etc. Opinions?

My Mom lived to 100. I think I'll pass. It didn't look like much fun.

I believe it’s attitude you are what you believe so think young…I get told I look 10 years young…simplify, be joyful, hopeful, be kind generous, do not judge we are all one.

Whole food plant based all the way!

OK, calling husband to get a bag of peas on the way home.

Better eating to enjoy life. Me and my pizza, my tiramisu, my pink juicy steak. And women, lots of women.... That's my formula. Better die happy than old

Lots of sunshine

but is what the advantage of living longer? I promise you it's not all it's cracked up to be. Nursing homes, walkers, diminishing senses , you get the picture.

It is really amazing how few people ever even try to go vegetarian (or vegan) for a day, let alone a week, or let alone trying it enough to be able to compare for themselves any noticeable benefits they might have. For something so important for our health, as well as for empathy and for the environment, it's just amazing... Plant-based foods are the #RocketFuelOfFood. Three great reasons to #SwitchToVegan / Vegetarian: 1) Health 2) Empathy 3) Environment Reasons against: 1) Habit / tradition? 2) Apathy?

Dan is funded by the UN. This is all about controlling everyone

A living wage for workers would lower life shortening stress. Quality of life is impossible on slave wages.

All those green zone cities or countries have a universal health system, that’s one important thing for living a longer life

In the blue zones they don't get sick like that or have chronic diseases because they're so healthy

How come the blue zone in Pakistan is not mentioned!?

Anyone else notice the similarity in latitudes?

Yes, I wonder if Okinawa, Sardinia and cetera are among the sunniest places that aren't terribly hot.

Adopt a pet they keep you young and are great companions

Did access to free or low-cost medical care get factored in there anywhere? Seems to me it might matter. Wonder if there's a correlation.....????

No desire to live to 100:-)

Try looking at that again- It's a shame from my point of view. Learning and living can't be worse than death.

A diet of whole foods shared with your friends and family can go a long way towards happiness and avoid the health care system and the environment .

Dan didn't mention that there is one Blue Zone here in the USA. Loma Linda California Seventh Day Adventists, who have a very high percentage of vegetarians and vegans compared to other places in the USA. SDA vegan men there live about 10 years longer than other Californian men.

I've heard people who think fast food burgers are healthy because of the lettuce n tomatoes.

Thks hows abouts an update

Should Dan really be recommending the highly processed grains available to most people today? I doubt it very much.
