Longevity: Journey into the blue zone | TechKnow

[@vrjtam]

This is the kind of life I'm looking for. Laid back, free from stress, being able to grow my food and cultivate my garden and enjoy fresh and organic food. Meeting and greeting friendly neighbors and has closed bond relationship with the family in a beautiful, fresh, and clean environment. This is a little paradise on earth.

[@rajs7876]

Indeed!

[@vickiworthington2441]

I don't think they were saying that their lives were free from stress, they did go through two world wars after all. It seems that they dealt with their stress better than we do with the stresses of the modern world. Perhaps they didn't have the same expectations of an easy life that we have grown up with?

[@bramvanoverbeeke8881]

It is so obvious to me why these people grow older. The fabric of their culture has not been ripped apart by modernism. They want to hold on as long as possible because it offers them the opportunity to see their great grandchildren grow old. It is obvious the family bonds are still intact and old people are revered elders.

[@bramvanoverbeeke8881]

Sure, the diet and exercise will help, but without those invisible social structures its like trying to fix a car with good parts but no knowledge of car repair.

[@Jarni1979]

[@davidedileo5290]

Sorry but what you said it’s not exactly, in fact the main reason of longevity is based on genetic. Secondly even the non-modernity as you mentioned actually is not correct because close family and friendship ties, plenty of sunshine which don’t concern non- modernity (in general the Italian life-style demonstrated by science) are some of the reasons of Italian’s longevity.

@Adam A. A MAN thought to be Russia's oldest person has died at the age of 122, authorities in the North Caucasus region of Dagestan said. Magomed Labazanov, a retired labourer who lived in Serebryakovka village close to the city of Kizlyar, died early Friday, the local government said on its website. Labazanov was reportedly born in Dagestan and worked in a sawmill and later on a farm. He never learned to read and write. The date of his birth has not been authenticated as he did not have an original birth certificate. According to the Guinness World Records, the oldest person in the world is Besse Cooper of the United States, who turned 116 last month. The mountainous North Caucasus is famed for its long-lived elders, although the turmoil of the Soviet era means that many do not have documents proving their age. Labazanov was one of the thousands of people in North Caucasus republics who were uprooted during World War II on Stalin's orders and deported to Central Asia, returning only in the 1950s. Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda said he attributed his long life to a simple diet of corn bread, whey, fruits and vegetables. Hi did not drink alcohol or smoke, it said. Labazanov celebrated his 122nd birthday on May 1, according to local media..................................................................................................now other then corn bread, he didnt eat much grain, other articles he says he ate occasional sheep's milk, local meats, poultry, fresh vegetables and fresh spring water...remember though europe has highest life expectancy and highest production and access to organic foods

My grandparents came to the United States over 125 years ago, in fact, from Palinuro (Centola), had 8 children in the United States, all Americans. All of their children, including my father who is still alive at 94, lived close to 100. Their first language was Italian. My grandparents were born in Italy, we have relatives in that region. It’s a very simple equation. They came through Ellis Island, lived here in the United States and had American children. My dad was born in 1927, the only child still alive, and was the youngest. Pretty easy to understand. The only embarrassing comment here is yours. Comments like yours doesn’t make me feel good about being proud to take so much effort to keep my familial Italian connection alive.

also blue zones tend to live near the ocean... consume more alcohol, less grains/dairy.........meat,poultry isnt the problem like areas with high dairy intake like USA has high grain/dairy intake and suffer highest rates of osteoporosis.......now California has highest production of organic food in the US and 10th heathiest state.....really fattening starchy grains like white rice, wheat, barley and rye..gluten sensitivity and celiacs is a problem as well..Not to mention Canada and US has mostly processed nutrient deficient food.....GMos, pesticides etc. like at Iceland rest of Scandinavia, spain, Australia consume some of the highest intake of meats and their the healthiest countries to live.....Spain eats alot of eat......but not much for grains, but is ranked the healthiest place.....even outranks japan for health and lifespan.....japan has virtually the lowest dairy intake and look at them......eating organic and avoiding processed, gmos, etc and dairy and grains arnt good either...Russian born man was 122 and he could pass for 85.......He ate dairy from goat and sheep's, local pasture meats and fresh greens straight from the farm or backyard....also do research on insect nutrition, insects retain dozens of times more nutrients then any animal sorce....like organically farmed cricets retain 12 x more then beef and salmon, 20 x more the eggs and chicken and 30 to 50 x more then pork or milk.... A MAN thought to be Russia's oldest person has died at the age of 122, authorities in the North Caucasus region of Dagestan said. Magomed Labazanov, a retired labourer who lived in Serebryakovka village close to the city of Kizlyar, died early Friday, the local government said on its website. Labazanov was reportedly born in Dagestan and worked in a sawmill and later on a farm. He never learned to read and write. The date of his birth has not been authenticated as he did not have an original birth certificate. According to the Guinness World Records, the oldest person in the world is Besse Cooper of the United States, who turned 116 last month. The mountainous North Caucasus is famed for its long-lived elders, although the turmoil of the Soviet era means that many do not have documents proving their age. Labazanov was one of the thousands of people in North Caucasus republics who were uprooted during World War II on Stalin's orders and deported to Central Asia, returning only in the 1950s. Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda said he attributed his long life to a simple diet of corn bread, whey, fruits and vegetables. Hi did not drink alcohol or smoke, it said. Labazanov celebrated his 122nd birthday on May 1, according to local media..................................................................................................now other then corn bread, he didnt eat much grain, other articles he says he ate occasional sheep's milk, local meats, poultry, fresh vegetables and fresh spring water...remember though europe has highest life expectancy and highest production and access to organic foods . im getting more interested in insect nutrition insects are the most nutrient dense foods even more then seafoods or kelp, seavegtables....crickets can have u to 32 percent protein, 3 to 4 times the daily intake of most major vitamins and 2 to 3 x the intake some minerals, as well as providing 12 x the amount of B vitamins of beef or 20 that of eggs and chicken etc.. earthworms are 82 percent protein, provide omega 3 and some essential nutrients also frying them in sunflower oil, they can taste similar bacon north american meat is gmo, antibiotics, growth horomes added, factory farmed and mostly feed grains with no grass or pastures to graze on

Dont forget that these people lived 2 world wars.. they had very little food and almost no meat during their young age and for sure no sugar and all the food that we have today. They walk and move everyday, they ate natural foods and during the wars they struggled. That made them stronger. If you notice the other women with the old woman are all fat. Because now the culture is different. They eat a lot of meat and pasta now. Before they had just bread, vegetables, some egg and a little dairy organic product. Few meat from their land but not always; very little for almost 3/4 of their life. They eat very early at night and sometimes soups that give the digestion good rest.

I do not get sick and go out in the fresh air every day for walks as well. I do work every day as a medical and cancer researcher. My body is in great shape for my age, and my mind is as sharp as it ever has been. I plan to continue my daily routine including working to help others, until the day I die. I practice the same regimen as my dad, and he lived until 97 years old. I consume no chemicals from heavily preserved foods. I stay away from the doctors and do not take any vaccines, most of which are not vaccines but experiments in gene technology !!! I live a simple life style, and unless I do something stupid like jumping out of an airplane that works with a parachute that may not, I should live to at least 100+ years old !!!

Ho we know the answer , Japan has the longest life expectancy of any country , but Japanese people who live in America don't do better than white or Latino. Also in Okinawa which is one of the blue zone, the young people start to eat like American and guess what ? Okinawa has the longest life expectancy in the world but the highest rate of obesity and diabetes in Japan.

They aren't stressed like the younger generation in Italy because they have a pension and have owned their houses for several generations. They were in their 20's during the second World War so I think that they have had 70 years to get past the psychological trauma of that war. The younger more anxious generation that they mentioned in the end live in a more globalized and competitive world. In order to stand on their own two feet they have to move to the bigger cities (Sassari, Oristano, Cagliari,Rome, Milan etc) to hustle and find work. Hustle = more stress. As the mentioned, the environment isn't saturated with massive environmentaly destructive industries however, because there isn't a big industrial footprint there aren't that many young people walking around. No industry=organic food and lots of long living old folks however it also= not enough jobs for the younger generations= low birthrate for the region= problems in the future.

The medetaranian diet is healthy because of its richness in fresh whole foods, plenty of fruit, starch, and veggies and low meat consumption . It is healthy in spite of the olive oil, not because of it. this is clear especially if you compare the other blue zone diets. And the overwhelming amount of research indicating the problems of vegetable oils and meat. All the blue zones have a starch based diet, and none of them gets most of there calories from meat or fats.

If you think organic extra virgin olive oil is the same as the rest of the oils,you obviously are not from the Meditteranean. Good olive oil protects the cells from aging and was used by the Greeks in large quantities. Olive oil was known as green gold and had many medicinal uses. In Greece they still sell St. John's wort oil that remedies ulcers and other intestinal diseases.
