She said the key to long life was minimal food and minimal stress. Good luck to us all!

I was just watching a video on new research that showed that it's incredibly important to eat veggies First with any meal. More blood sugar spikes leads to more issues that impact life span. Turns out if you eat veggies First in your meal your body begins to immediately break the food down and the high fiber creates a protective mesh in your dietary tract and stops blood sugar spikes. I started trying this and it's surreal. It works to regulate blood sugar and I can eat all the regular stuff I eat, which is moderately healthy, and the meal doesn't cause blood sugar spikes and then that burnout feeling. So I wonder how many of these people that live longer, just happened to have a salad starter with their meals? For me, I'm convinced. I had stopped eating until noon because of the blood sugar swing was crashing me. Basically, I'm going to switch to Japanese style breakfast, instead of American and always eat my veggies first!

I saw him deteriorate slowly until his death. The life force left him and it was clearly obvious he didn't want to live. Prior to that, my dad was a funny, out-going guy who loved life. So no, it's not genetics. You can have all the genetics in the world but if you don't eat nutrient dense foods it ain't gonna do you any good.

@@ann5765 obviously you know nothing about how insurance works. The dr can order test that you need, but the insurance company can deny those test. Same with meds. Insurance don’t cover everything and there are limits on how much they cover each year. This is why some have to choose between their meds and food. Some meds cost $2000 a month and your only allowed 3 month’s coverage of it because there is a $6000 a yr limit on meds. Some insurance won’t even cover all diabetics meds a month. I hope you never find yourself in need of meds or test and your insurance won’t cover it. Your probably young and in great health. Enjoy it while you can. It won’t always be like that.

Bear in mind what food works for you might not work for another. I was super big into plant based raw vegetables diet and overtime I was developing health problems. I switched completely away from grains and did an indigenous eating based diet because I found out I am part native American and my health dramatically improved.

I plan on living til I'm 100. (With GOD'S blessings, of course.) I eat clean healthy/whole foods, lift weights 5x week, stretch for flexibility. No salt, excess sugar, NO FRIED/PROCESSED/CHEMICALIZED FOODS!! I do take herbs, vitamins and no drugs or cancer sticks. I'm 68yy, and I know best is yet to come.

Sounds a lot like me EXCEPT, I'm going for120 as that is what God said man's life span would be. Mother passed at 90, grandfather just 5 days before his 105th.

[@fasaebisola6927]

​@@lvncsr6166me too am going for 120 by His grace

[@blackpillfitness9136]

I would suggest not lifting weights or exercising nearly as much. Youre stressing your body out and destroying millions of cells every time you do it. Plus creates free radicals in the body. Just eat lots of meat, preferably raw; and limit pretty much everything else, especially seed oils and corn syrup/sugar.

That's a proof that we should eat food for medicine, not medicine for food. This is said to be a healthy living or wellness program.

[@jiranyavarodvivat2434]

Thai people eat food as medicine such AS Tom Yum contains Thai herb and good when you have cold. Thai Salad (Papaya salad) contains garlic, papaya tomato, peanut lime juice. There are many Thai dishes that help to boost your blood circulation and good health. Desserts are from natural sugar banana and fresh fruit with coconut milk and not processed.

Can see from all the varied comments and those who say things like “eat healthy, exercise, don’t drink or smoke “ do not understand. My grandma lived to 97, and only bc she fell and got depressed bc her mobility was restricted. She smoked no filtered cigarettes, had a horrible processed food diet, drank pretty much only huge amounts of coffee. But she was happy. Lesson learned, I think.

[@jmh8510]

My grandma was Norwegian. Don’t know that it makes a difference. But she did everything opposite of what you’re saying (eat organic, don’t smoke or drink and fast etc 🤣). Please!!!!! She was HAPPY and that’s why she didn’t die in her 60s like the vegan, fasting, running, nervous, single no kids people!!!!!!! It’s about connection and giving to others, not focusing on SELF constantly

[@tinacherian4816]

Genes are powerful. My dad has been a heavy drinker and smoker for 40+ years and about to turn 79 with no big health issues. He has a very laid back personality, never stressed. He had ancestors live into the 100s as well.

[@healthlonglife]

congratz! you have good genes running in your veins 💪🍀

[@ann5765]

[@xopi2521]

My grandparents lived in NYC and never exercised in their lives except a little walking to catch a cab. They didn’t smoke or drink but they ate deli food and cake and ice cream daily. They lived to be 92 and 96 in their own apartment. This was when the life expectancy in the US was the late 60’s-early 70’s.

[@juanamauk4166]

Eating clean & healthy most of the time & staying active is the key. Of course you have folks that will always justify unhealthy habits. Maybe her ancestors took care of themselves and passed that way of being to her. And whoever eats whatever they please is active now because they’re genetically strong but we don’t yet know that if they live to 86 or so but had they ate better maybe they could’ve lived to 90 or 100. I’d like to be the latter, no excuses. To me, “quality of life is everything”. I got grand babies to play with ❤😊

[@genji7536]

Just because we excersize doesnt count for the processed food that probably kills our life short on a daily basis... I went back to eating chocolate daily after 3 years of good control off that sort of crap. Now I'm back to feeling like crap 😂 well that's on me but the point is the chocolate I bought was very addictive, 40g of sugar for two blocks of the whole bar, not surprising it has jellybeans, sugar, more added sugar from marshmallows, etc it was a candy mix inside of the chocolate. I have diabetes and binge eating disorders and I know I'm not supposed to be giving in, its stress just like smoking etc. I have ADD too that does not help, there should be more laws on how they sell confectionery and substance that are strongly harmful that will cause rebound to addictions. It shouldnt be approved it's getting kinda dumb they advertise the encouragement of these items. I want a veggie garden to keep me active not the stupid convenience to junk food. Cant even get away from it, there is Junk takeout 3 mins away from where I live, i dont eat takeaway but I'm sick of knowing that's it there 😂 Also european whole family at random times makes us eat like crazy, does not help 😅

She says she eats white fish and ground steaks but the video still say to eat lean meat and shows chicken instead. She eats fish and red meat. What most Americans refuse to eat now. She eats grits for breakfast which modern white Americans frown upon. She eats traditional quality whole food.

Glad to see that people can live long and healthy lives. Sadly the science doesn't acknowledge this and gave every one their time line. . I'm glad my God only knows our time here and not man.

[@loulouedmo]

My dear Dad lived until 96 years old. He snuck in the occasional smoke. Had a few nips of whiskey at bedtime. He ate amazingly healthy food as well as cakes and lollies. He always chewed his food 32 times and he never got fat! He was going great guns - gardening and living independently until he had the 2nd booster shot. Started pissing blood that night and it all went downhill from there 😢
