Why are THESE people living so long? | Ep190

[@mickeyt1371]

When talking about "Blue Zones", people always talk about their diets. What is always missed in these discussions is the following: Firstly...early to bed, early to rise. They get a good nights sleep. They also do not have cars, therefore they get plenty of exercise by walking everywhere. They work their plots of land to grow and harvest their own organic food. These people have simple, stress-free lives, not participating in the consumer trap that most people are caught up in. They also have their afternoon siesta (nap). Additionally they have strong bonds with the people in their small communities that they have known since childhood. All of these factors lead to a life of longevity. Not just diet!

[@mambi74]

Yep. Its like the intro to 'Outliers' points out when examing the low death rate of a small Pennsylvania town mainly populated with immigrants from an Italian (If I remember correctly) village - basically, they kept their old traditions of deep community ties, strong family bond, etc. like you've mentioned. It was no 'one thing'.

[@ajaykusumo7417]

Yess 👌👍

[@danmalic6688]

imagine a lifetime of no driving in traffic......just that one point explains a lot

[@ninalynn9a]

@@mambi74 I agree that deeply held and practiced traditions developed strong bonds and self-esteem among community. Supporting one another in healthy, active traditions usually extends longevity.

Gundry goes over all you wrote in this Video

[@armandogamboa4638]

Dr. Gundry, I want to thank you for saving my life. I'm 56 and I was downhill on my health, but after watching your videos in KZbin and reading your books (plant paradox), My life has turn a 180 degrees. I have been following your recommendations and diet for the last 2 years and I feel like I am in my 20s. My workouts at the gym are fantastic, so much energy........my labs results are perfect! I lost 30 lbs. In 6 months and have been able to keep my weight steady ever since..... Im 6'190 lbs, n muscular...... I am a Registered Nurse and I tell everyone I meet about you, even my patients. Thnx again for saving my life!!

[@alexanderfield3935]

What are his diet recommendations ?

[@johnborgia9644]

for us, the greeks it's not only the amount of olive oil (1l/week) but the amount of goat-sheep cheese of feta (100gr per day) and oregano essential oil

[@tanyathompson1549]

Do you get the Oregano EO by consuming the plant itself? Or a different way? Thank you

[@johnborgia9644]

Dry oregano in the salads and essential oil in the soups

[@armandogamboa4638]

I'm 56 and people tells me I look 40...........but my mind fells like in my 20s..... all t these after following your advise in your books! I cannot thank you enough. ❤❤❤

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

Besides the sheep and goats cheese and yogurts, I think one major factor of those BLUE ZONES inhabitants is their almost stress free lifestyle. The stress caused by hustling bustling lives, crazy parties full of cocktails and alcohols, bad people constantly full of negative influences and opinions can generate a lot of inflammations in the bodies. I think we don’t need meditations but we need to take our lone time to stay in very quiet, peaceful scenic nature. People who live on the mountains are surrounded by nature of the fresh airs and possible clean waters.

Dear dr Gundry, sleep is also needed maybe more than olive oil

[@AtTheHomestead]

Thank you Dr for all you do. One question about foods. Well actually drinks. I'm not a big drinker but I do have an occasional glass of wine when I go out to dinner. With so many wines to choose from what is the best choice? Thank you again in advance, Bill

[@timh-c7186]

Dr Gundry, everything you say rings true regarding compressing the eating window...BUT by intermittent fasting and not stimulating mTor continuously (by snacking), logically this means one can eat meat as often as one likes in the short eating window. Yes, eating meat stimulates mTor but so does any form of protein. This is the situation I would like to see addressed/answered. I note David Sinclair/Matt LaPlante in their new podcast Episode 2 about 'Food and When to eat' did not clarify this either. Dr Sinclair just trotted out data from the old dodgy food survey data which lumped "meat" in with a fast food/processed diet, so was a bit disappointed in that one.

Countries ranked by life expectancy #1 Hong Kong and they eat more meat per capita, Hong Kong has one of the highest meat consumption per capita in the world at 664g per day.... enough blue zone theory

[@rajeevshrivastava4488]

Haha

[@SmippeHyrst]

So we're to strictly moderate in-take of animal protein for the sake of longevity, but in the pursuit of longevity we're to eat large amounts of certain cheeses that happen to be high in, errr... animal protein(??).

[@amapolo7211]

Yes, it seems like a contradiction. I heard Dr. Benjamin Bickman prainsing meat protein over plant protein many times. And saying that protein produces very short living mTor spikes. That it is insulin who causes detrimental elevations of mTor.

I imagine alot of your patients are Adventist. It's interesting that alot of them would be eating cheese, or high fat even. It seems that the high meat body builders didn't live long lives . Jack Lalanne did, but he ate lots of fruits and veggies, fish, egg whites. Seems he was Lower fat. Kind of interesting

People just don't want to reanalyze in detail the evidence.

[@krzysztofh6308]

In the "Nutrition for the Japanese elderly" study they found something else: Abstract. 1. Nutrient intakes in 94 Japanese centenarians investigated between 1972 and 1973 showed a higher proportion of animal protein to total proteins than in contemporary average Japanese. Average Japanese had slightly higher fat intake than centenarians as percentage of total energy (arround 19.8 vs 18%), but centenarians had higher percentage of energy from protein than average Japanese (16.5% vs 14.6%), and proportion of animal protein to total protein was higher among centenarians (58% vs 48%). "As a source of animal protein, meat was more common in the Okinawa sample whereas fish was more common in tje Akita sample". "Histories of stroke, myocardial infarction, and fractures were more common in the Akita sample. The Akita sample was more hypertensive.

[@l.sophia2803]

Intersting. I wish Dr G would address this and not conclude with such a wide brush about the superiority of low animal or no animal protein! It makes it difficult for me to embrace what otherwise seems like an excellent perspective.

[@stevenbell8842]

My wife on youtube found out from Ken D Berry that a low carb or extra low carb diet, could reduce her insulin sensitivity. What say you. Eggs Bacon Avocado, Steak .

[@bentrider]

One thing that seldom gets examined is how many calories Blue Zone people eat. I would love to find some research on that aspect. One hears quite often how reducing caloric intake slows metabolism. Well, there is ample research that shows that when we slow our metabolism, we also slow the aging process. This has me intrigued and I am currently searching to see if there is a connection.

[@kaptainh5538]

[@jy4893]

Can you do a video on what to do the day after not sleeping the entire night? Can I still exercise? Should I nap or not nap? How do I recovered so that my insomnia doesn’t get worse? Help?

[@luciana_nemes]

Unfortunately, we will never recover lost sleep 100%. Each time we sleep less than 7 hours we are in debt and that can never be paid off. So that's why it's extremely important to sleep at least 7 hours every night. The next day you can still exercise (light to moderate) if you have the energy, eat well too. Then go to bed early and your brain will probably request 10-12 hours of sleep that night. It first recovers deep sleep then after 3-4 days, your brain will recover rem sleep. Sleep should never be negotiable. It's a high price to pay when we don't sleep well, waste time on our phones, or go to bed late. Many mental and physical disorders come from sleep deprivation. Even if your diet is healthy and you're exercising, when you don't sleep well your health won't be good. There's a book called "Why we sleep" by Matt Walker. I highly suggest the read. It will blow your mind. I'm loving every page of it.

I do feel if people can make pure cheese from pure milk at home that would be better. I feel same with white butter Indians used to eat before colonization. But I must say the way to eat it was not in combination with other unhealthy things of today on top of other heavy things. I want to reduce rice with millets too. But cheese in India today is used on top of other heavy food items. Therefore I feel that combination makes a lot of difference too. White butter was good if people can eat it in right way by itself without mixing things. Today in India cheese can not be considered healthy form because of how they are eating. They are neither getting benefit of cheese or of that other heavy food. I drink whole milk spaced few hours after meal because I know milk is heavy because I know within that I am now giving my body space and time to extract every positivity from that milk. And like you said time is critical too.

But they are lowest in the world in canser cases pr 100 000. So the teory goes out the window! So the truth is that we don't know.

yeah, but remember that in the arabian countries people are fasting on the regular basis, which is the probable cause of low rate of cancers as the cancer cells are extremely sugar dependent.

Another thing they do to stay healthy and I highly recommend that as well, is to avoid any alcohol, caffeine, or unclean meat such as pork, certain fish, duck, rabbit, or pork, among others.
