You have totally missed the most important point. It is not the food or the diet. In two words: it is "community support". People are surrounded by friends, genuine authentic long-term friends who will be there for you to support you whenever you need them; not superficial acquaintances good for small talk only.

Just watched a video on the two areas of Sardinia where this Blue Zone is. It’s more the lifestyle, which is rural, and the community/family closeness than the healthy food that contribute to long life. No processed food, all natural. The food is important, but it is only two areas of Sardinia that are in the Blue Zone. The pace of life is slow, and they like it that way.

This is so true! I am in the UK and I have noticed around where I go, everything is just so processed! You can't buy one single thing that is "pure" without having a filler like "wheat" when it's pre-made. America is the same, they have so many fast food joints where people just eat rubbish food. It's better to have a whole foods diet and less dairy and less meat. I stopped drinking last year and feel so much better, my skin has improved and my health all around. The only thing is, is my sweet tooth craving and I find that's the only thing that's hard to give up. So at the moment I am only eating Carob chocolate bars with no added sugars. I have two books on the Blue Zone Diet I will read one of them tonight! who knows I may do a vlog on it lol

Pork contains high quality protein is rich in vitamin B1that is effective for recovering from fatigue. The leg, skin, face ears of the pig are commonly eaten in Okinawa they are rich in collagen which keeps the elasticity of the skin. Aguu, the Okinawan native pig contains less fat, less cholesterol is rich in glutamic acid that gives a rich flavor compared to other pork.

Sadly, there is a lot of confirmation bias in this reporting. Okinawa for example, like the rest of Japan, is very pork focused. And there's always been a lot of frying...I wonder if Erica has ever been to Japan (or Greece)? I have been 50 + times over the decades and the ingestion of a large amount of fats (both the so called healthy and saturated) is clear. This is often overlooked to confirm the anti-fat bias that nutritionists have had indoctrinated in them. Fundamentally, there's nothing wrong in this basic vegetable/legume direction -- they are proven to be healthful and are delicious -- but the contention that blue zone people don't eat a fair amount of fats is false.

Sadly that too is changing and we're starting to see obesity there in larger numbers. Finally, we have the wrong boogeyman in our sights in my humble opinion.

Also, the blue zones may be a myth in terms of verifying the age of these demographics. only recently has systematic verification of age been practiced. Also, it seems the Okinawan claim in particular is in dispute as recent data shows that men in Okinawa don't live as long as men in other Japanese prefectures.

I can say with complete confidence that the the people of Sardinia, Ikaria, Okinawa, and Nicoya DO NOT eat a mostly plant based diet!! My best friend's family is from Okinawa. My boyfriend's family is from Sardinia and we both have been to Ikaria and Nicoya. They are all very much heavy on animal consumption and animal fat consumption. This Blue Zone myth of these places being heavy on a plant diet is so false. It needs to die. In all these places there is no such thing as retire. People work until they physically can't. They are heavy on community. The elders are revered and have purpose within the community. A lot of those starchy foods were introduced rather recently. If you want to be in good health, what they are advocating will not give you good health, quite the contrary from what I see.

What factors do you think contribute to their old age?
@puidemare23373 жыл бұрын
Besides all the above factors I mentioned(having purpose, no retirement, mentality, etc..) they don't eat processed foods, most of their food is fresh and local, they don't overeat or eat throughput the day, they use animal fats for cooking, not veg/seed oils, they eat all parts of the animal, some kind of animal meat is in all their meals, etc.. These blue zone "studies" were done with the older generation, when this way of eat is the norm. It's not like that any more with the younger generation. If you were to compare the older generation and the newer one, the newer ones are not eating like their grandparents or parents did now.

All Blue Zone populations eat little or no meat. The only one in the USA are the Seventh Day Adventists of Loma Linda California. They are taught by their religion to not eat meat. SDA men live about 10 years longer than other Californian men. Not all SDA's eat vegetarian, but most are vegetarian or vegan. According to the Adventist 2 Study, only the vegans among them had an average BMI in the recommended range. Links on request.

@@deborahhebblethwaite1865 Insoluble fiber is the rough fiber that cleans the intestinal tract. We do need it. But to much can cause irritation in the gut. Crunchy veggies and wheat are all high in insoluble fiber. Fruit , oats , flaxseeds and chia seeds are all high in soluble fiber and very soothing to the gut. Even with IBS. Therefore if i use whole wheat flour i add lots of oats or even oat bran. Don't cook or bake with flaxseed as it destroys the ALA omega 3 oils. Eat only freshly ground and raw. Avoid any baked goods or cereals with added flaxseed. Good luck.
