I agree totally. I have followed the lifestyles and diet of these populations for quite a while now and as a European friend I would say that the stress that accompanies your "American dream" lifestyle will never be compensated for by diet alone. When I was a kid we had a saying that the Americans live to work, and we work to live. That is not to say that the people of the blue zones are not hard workers, because in fact they are hard physical workers, but rather I believe that in addition to their diet, their philosophy of life focuses on friendship, spirituality and savouring the simple beauty that is in every day. I feel that for many people today, the focus of life seems to be the attainment of career success at all costs, but at what price?

All the recipes came from student's families and church members and when I look at it today it is stunning how much fatty cheese, milk, cream , butter, etc. is in the food and still they live longer on average. Thank goodness for being raise to eat a bunch of meat, bacon, and other garbage.

my great grandma lived to 106 years old, my grandma is currently 80 and my grandpa 90. It's not like they don't stress but they all had peaceful lives without major sad events and they just worked to live and not the other way around. They dont eat too much, they eat yogurt with honey every morning, some homemade meal afterwards (like beans, chicken in the oven, fish, vegetables in the oven with feta etc) and cheese with bread and tea or chamomile in the afternoon. They also walk every morning and they have never used a car, they go everywhere they want by foot or bus. I think simplicity is the best tactic, exercising daily, not stressing too much, not eating heavily processed food on a daily basis.

People either tend to misunderstand or don't understand whatsoever!! We, the Mediterranean, like to relax! It is not only about food, it is the life style. It is about having good neighbors, friends and family. Basically, it is about being social in the true meaning of it. Also doing everything in moderation is what matters. Just because walnuts are nutritious doesn't mean you should devour a pound or two...Just because wine is delicious and nutritious you should not drink a bottle of it. Instead, have a glass everyday, which is the sustainable way...Rather than facing the possibility of not being able to drink wine at all, drink a glass or two now...don't abuse it. Do not eat meat whatsoever, or eat once or twice a month. Skip meals every now and then...live happily ever after. Cheers.

You are absolutely correct, and might I also add a little "food for thought." In the U.K., they published a study that predicted that due modern farming practices , designed to maximize crop yields at the cost of soil health/integrity, in approximately one century, they will no longer be able to grow and/or harvest crops. If there isn't a serious shift in the way they grow/raise their food soon their will be no stopping or reversing this. North america has a similar problem but worse because we use more of the unnatural chemicals than they do, our only saving grace is that we haven't been farming the land nearly as long, but we're starting to catch up. The only proper way of farming involves a combination of crop rotations and ethical animal agriculture, and not pumping artificial chemicals/hormones into either. We need both together for us and the planet.

Wow! That Biblical diet is what some of us grew up on in Kenya. Seventh-Day Adventists not just by name, but those who eat the living Word of God. Dad died at 93, he was strong like a horse, mom is 88 strong like an ass. Parents loved each other, were married 67 good years. 13 kids, 11 living with no "sniffles" in their 60's, 50's and 40's. 50 plus grandkids, and another 50 great-grandkids. The genes of those who eat healthily, family togetherness, treating others with compassion, and living a godly life are the ways to pure living and longevity until Kingdom comes. Glad the world is figuring it out now but it's all in the B-I-B-L-E. Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys gave up the king's meat for a 10-day course of vegetables and were found to be healthier and smarter. It doesn't take science to figure it out. Obedience to God is key. Have a blessed day.

The last time I had blood tests in August 2021, I was told by the doctor that my blood tests were "perfect"! He told me that my ECG was also "perfect". I suggest a diet based on whole grains and cereals, beans, fruit and vegetables, nuts such as walnuts and almonds, and plain yoghurt with live lactic cultures plus miso paste and other fermented foods, which are probiotics for healthy bacteria in the gut. A positive attitude and trying to be happy as much as one can also figure in a healthy life-style.

Ideally there is A LOT of non starchy vegetables in the diet--particularly leafy greens that are very nutrient dense. Ideally modern wheat is avoided (ancient ones ok, and even better if sourdough cultured first). Ideally the easier to digest legumes are more focused on (lentils, green peas, mung beans, aduki beans, etc). And plenty of physical activity--particularly a blend/balance of high intensity/heart raising stuff, balanced with plenty of gentle, longer duration oxygenation type activities (long walks, gentle swimming, etc). To this list, I would say that very deep meditation is quite helpful. Very deep meditation can directly stimulate the pineal and pituitary glands, and the well known American psychic/mystic/seer Edgar Cayce, once said in trance, "Keep the pineal gland active and you won't age". And to help that meditation out in stimulating the pineal gland--a specific food was very occasionally recommended. It was dubbed "Mummy food" (long account of why). Essentially was just very well chopped dried, unsulphured figs and dates in equal measures, cooked in water on medium for about 20 minutes with a *little* grain of some kind, and then once cooked, some goat milk to cool. Said to be "almost a spiritual food" for "such developed bodies as this one". I have found that one can forgo the cooking part, if they have a very high powered blender and very well blend these into a smoothie (you want/need it turned into a paste consistency). Best way to do that, is first with just a few figs and a small handful of dates in water, blended first, then add the rest of the smoothie ingredients.

@@ColoradoHiker It's not just about diet (though diet plays a very big role). Being very physically active helps a lot, having community in the life, being a decent hearted person (humor definitely helps), etc. And people of your grandmother's generations, while they did eat things like bacon--they tended to eat a lot less meat than modern Americans. Not only that, but they tended to eat less in general which is important. There are people with exceptional genes that will live a fairly long time, even with a diet that is not the most ideal. But when you get entire large communities of many people living a very long time (into their 100's)--then that is when you should pay attention to their diets and other health lifestyles. And the Blue Zone groups are all pretty low meat compared to average American diet. When meat is eaten, it is more of a side dish rather than the central dish. And again, they also tend to eat less than most people in the US. Besides these patterns, there has been plenty of animal research which shows that certain amino acids which are much higher in flesh foods (than plant foods) activate the m-Tor pathways in the body which significantly reduce longevity. David Sinclair talks a lot about these studies, as well as him and his group having run their own direct studies.

I was born poor in Toronto 90 years ago. In my opinion the key to a long and healthy life is not to eat often for entertainment. If you do, you will eat too much and drink too much. You will wreck your body. And try to think just far enough ahead to avoid falling into pitfalls: smoking, drugs, alcoholism, debt, hasty marriage, dropping out of education too soon. All of these will cause you stress and anxiety. And find some activity that will exercise your brain. An empty brain at age 16 is a sad thing to behold. But an empty brain at age 60 is a tragedy about to unfold.

Yes exactly. Mindset > matter. Most people who reach their hundreds are the most relaxed, kind, and simple individuals. This a big reason why they reached this milestone of old age. Their thinking patterns and gratitude has kept their bodies and minds safe.

I’ve been plant-based for years. 45 yo and no health problems whatsoever. I also make sourdough. I LOVE CARBS and will always eat them. I rarely eat an animal-based product. Oh and I’m not fat..

Maybe it's not the food, but activity level. I lived in Japan and most people ride their bikes to the train station and enjoy their work. People here can't even push their grocery carts to the return points in the parking lot.

Nice my main dietary intake is beans, squash, corn made into patties with sweet potato and white potato...change with cracked pepper, peas, crumbs, chopped onion or garlic, herbs etc...

That was fun!

Most of the Blue Zone peoples and traditional cuisines eat some meat. But it much less than say typical diets of the US or the like. Only Loma Lima group is completely vegetarian. A little select fish occasionally, in particular, will hurt no one, but most likely help. I say select because a lot of fish is fairly to very toxic. Sardines, Wild Alaskan salmon, pollock, and cod are some of the cleanest. There are some nutrients in these fish that are hard to find/source from other sources, whether plant based or meat.

There is one common denominator to all these places and it received NO mention. Whoever researched this dropped the ball. All these places have goats and sheep and make cheese from them. There are 2 areas around Sardinia, mountains and sea side. The mountain people are the ones that have a long life and they eat lots of goat cheese.

My Dad's brother was 100 and his sister was 99 when they passed away.

and all those people come from farming communities where people worked hard physical labour and slept when it went dark and got up when it was light its the total way of life that matters not one single thing that counts plus less stress because that is a massive killer

you might want to look into oxalate poisoning. It is a real thing. Spinach and almonds are the worst culprits. Oxalate poisoning causes everything from random pains anywhere in your body to cancer and heart disease. Best keep your gut lining healthy on that food. Leaky gut increases oxalates entering the bloodstream by 60% or more.

The exception doesn't disprove the rule, though. Since both her and her sister lived a long life, it was mostly due to genetics to begin with. The typically SAD is known for causing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and inflammation. In my culture, the typically average life span is around 70 years old because we have one of the most unhealthy diet (red meat and white rice). The only centenarian in our family never followed our diet and instead ate fruits and vegetables. He was also a farmer and grew his own food. He lived to be 102 years old.
