dont eat any package food then you dont need to read labela

[@jamiecramer5834]

Yay! My book came today, absolutely beautiful! It would be REALLY nice if some of the foods mentioned that are not familiar to some of us were listed in a resource guide, so we would know how to obtain them for the recipes.

[@sashanealand8315]

there are a lot of 100 year olds that are not in the blue zones such as bulgarisns, also many in the USA in rural areas

[@annemccarron2281]

That's true. The Blue Zones simply have the highest percentage.

[@irenabushong6494]

Who are bulgarisins , where do they live ?

[@tinahelpme]

The village in Sardinia which has the most centurians, eat mostly pork, sheep, goat and cheese. The little vegetables they eat are mainly tomatoes. Some seasonal fruit. They would put half a sheep on a spit roast on a Sunday and eat the left over for the week. They cure meat. So nuch for the theory that cured meat is carcinigous and eating red meat is bad for you.

[@janelifestolen6916]

Broccoli sprouts are great!

[@johnparson8250]

just had a mouthful of my first batch of strait broccoli sprouts. I usually just mix them with alfalfa sprouts. Won't be eating them straight up again, it was nasty.

[@istvanheimer1845]

What about Don Laymen's claims about daily protein???????

[@jakobw135]

What does Dan say regarding a vegan diet recommended by: Dr Michael Greger, Doctor Joel Kahn, Dr Neil Barnard - and others?

[@Starbreaker2012]

The developed world has been encouraged to cut fat from meat and dairy for a century. The University of Sydney established that that raises insulin 2.5 times causing detriment to health, so the epidemiological data is skewed.

[@zoegirl2948]

If You're lonely, not happy or healthy I can understand that.

[@HeartFeltGesture]

Most of the foods recommended are high in oxalates and plant anti-nutrients. And no mention to ensure the food is un-drenched in Glyphosate etc

[@irenabushong6494]

After listening to the interview I had the same questions ? Indians/Mexicans eating legumes and aging in better health is older news than report about anti- nutrients and lectins. Which information is reliable and accurate ?

@@irenabushong6494 The more I dig into health research, the more contradictions I encounter, its crazy-making.

Meditation is the portal out of hell.

[@annemccarron2281]

I certainly am. I love living. I definitely have a purpose.

[@irenabushong6494]

What about healthier life ? No pains, aches, no hypertension, no diabetes, no dementia ?

[@Craigjackson12]

@@HeartFeltGesturethat is so true,I try telling people who are depressed and taking medication to easy their discomfort that meditation cures all mental and emotional stagnation.

Dr Grundry says beans are lectins and we should not eat them.

[@annemccarron2281]

Grundy likes to sensationalized his information to get you to click on his videos.

[@janeslater8004]

We are all going to die you can find something wrong with all foods but plants are safer bet out of all food.we are def not carnivores

Japanese people eat meat in all 3 meals , can be Salmon, or chicken, or Pork. And from what i see its not only a little for taste its a good amount .We see this all the time in tv shows that talk about Japoneses dishes , they go there ans show us the familys eating and they eat a good portion !! Do not understand why Dan always say they eat meat only 2 times a week !! something stange here !

[@annemccarron2281]

How much fish is in sushi? A timble's worth. The cooking shows are usually recipes for special meals. Most people in blue zones cannot afford meat & fish on a regular basis. These people, are for the most part, poorer people.

[@annemccarron2281]

He is not talking about all Japanese people. Buttner is talking about Okinawa, where people live the longest.

[@sashanealand8315]

japanese people have very high suicide rate also the food tastes very bad

[@marjastuyt5322]

@@annemccarron2281 people in Okinawa eat a lot pork. They didn't right after the 2th world war, when the army take all their pigs, that's when the study about their food is done.

[@annemccarron2281]

He says this because National Geographic paid for prominent demographers and data analysists to do look at the meta analysis results & report on them.

[@gibbyjones1040]

blue zonies eat a lot of meat veganist dan chooses the worst human diet ever hominins have been carnivores for 4+ million years

[@annemccarron2281]

Dan Buttner has spent decades researching the blue zones, but you know more than he does about diet in the blue zones? How many of these places have you even visited?

[@freesia2067]

Dan has been accurate in his findings. In the philippines, we ask old people like in their 90' s what is the secret if long life. Their answer is stress free, fresh vegetables, faith, continue to be active, and have fun. Also, they live in a place where there's oceans, beach or mountains .

[@janeslater8004]

Rubbish.humans are not carnivorescpropaganda we are plant eaters with some meat when olants couldnt grow. Otzi the ice mummy 5000 years old had flax eikorn bread with herbs and ancient type of deer meeat still in stomach but analyais of body tissues showed he ate mostly vegwtarian.
