Something I think everyone is missing about this is that elders in these communities are celebrated, revered, and cherished. Elders are looked up to and are an integral part of the community. It has to be contributing to this effect of longer life. Sure, the wine and food and climate probably also help but a big part of it has to be the way they treat their elders. I'll put it this way: There aren't any nursing homes in Okinawa or Seulo.

I’m 7 minutes into this video and I haven’t stopped smiling. What an adventure. I went to north wales when I was 14 in 1981. It was so strange to me how everyone wanted me to come to their homes for dinner. Even little kids said their mums wanted me to come over. I chose only one and ended up living there for a year and gained a new family. Now that it’s over I’m in tears. So sad that it’s not like this everywhere. They don’t give a shit about fancy cars, clothes, homes or big money. It’s about love, family, friendship, laughter and community. People here in the US are always in the pursuit of money and material things, none of which brings true happiness. These people have all they want and need right there. Such a great video❤️

Your answer is right there. They drink natural organic wine which is nothing but antioxidants, they stay very active and social well into their age and they treat each other with respect and kindness. Positivity goes a long way.

[@Lau3464l]

Absolutely. I firmly believe that stress is the biggest detriment to our health in so many ways, on a micro and macro level. Stress makes us lose sleep, disrupts our eating patterns, impacts our social relationships, leads us to engage in risky behaviours, and affects us cellularly by affecting healthy cell cycling and disrupting our immune system. Antioxidants help mitigate the cellular effects of stress, and all those other things that come along with stress, when they're avoided, our health is so much more easily maintained. I met the oldest man in Canada last year (112 years old i believe) and his secret to life was to avoid stress and have everything in moderation. He was still working out at a gym until he was around 107 or 108 and that's when he started to use a walker for the first time. He also had no mental impairments or hearing issues or anything. Pretty remarkable man. He said his siblings all lived past 95 as well.

When I was in college I had to write a paper about happiest people on earth. One thing they all have in common is that they surround themselves with a supportive loving group. No isolation. I remember when the whole world was on lockdown and realize that depression was going to cause so much more damage in the long run especially with the elderly people. Sometimes the cure is worse than a disease. Never underestimate the power surrounding yourself with a loving supportive group whether it’s family, your local community, or Friends. Sunlight and fresh air and living without fear.

[@xymzk]

We had 80 trucks piled up with bodies in NYC even with shut downs. Sirens were going 24/7 for weeks. Connections with people are super important, but there's no need to dismiss the disease and the suffering it has caused plus even more suffering it could've caused with no precautions. So many had the chance to get vaxxed before getting infected which saved their lives and other's lives by keeping them out of the hospital. Though isolation wasn't really necessary by meeting outdoors and using proper respiratory protection. Most govs failed to prepare and are still not prepared for the future. Would you embrace ebola without living with fear? Saying that dismisses all the suffering that happened. As though there aren't downsides to disease which in this case included people suffering and dying alone.

[@bootsie1212]

@@xymzk it’s always sad when someone passes. According NOW to the those in Health department, almost 2 years later, they are confirming that getting the jab does not prevent you from getting infected. You can still get it and spread it. It might help you not get hospitalized, but honestly you can still get it and spread it while being fully jabbed. This is not a conspiracy, this is a fact. it’s called breakthrough infection and it happens in allot of cases with people that get the jab. Not everyone dies and not everybody ends up in the hospital. I’m just mentioning that because you’re saying that if most people would’ve gotten jab it could’ve been prevented and that is absolutely not true. I live in a big city. Miami to be exact. Right smack in the middle. I’ve spoken to many doctors that have told me that their patients are dying because they’re stuck in nursing homes or their homes and can’t leave there for regular office treatments so their preexisting illness continues to get worse because it goes untreated. Also did you see how many suicides came out of this? Just in teenage girls alone it rose 30 to 40%! Look it up please. Think about that for a second. Like really take a moment to think about how this lockdown caused 30 to 40% increase in teenage suicide. Not to mention depression, long term loneliness, long term anxiety, etc. People need sunlight. For many reasons. People need fresh air because that helps your oxygen levels. People need to be around loved ones and friends for mental health reasons. That’s how we are build. Now, here in the states some hospitals are being sued because of all the staff they fired for not getting jabbed, which now they admit that is completely useless from actually getting infected and spreading it. Not denying that this flu is real and it’s killed people, but also not denying how this lockdown also killed people for other very serious and very valid reasons. Lastly, i’m assuming you live in NYC. FYI, I can’t even tell you how many New York City license plates I’ve seen all over my city now. All over Florida to be exact because I traveled to Orlando not too long ago and was full of New Yorkers that moved there as well. I live close to coconut grove, and let me tell you going to my local movie theater and parking in the garage I’ve never seen so many New York tags. These lockdowns caused allot of people to have to relocate because of all the restrictions.

@@raulrus9026Many reasons, let me explain. If everyone stole stand, beaches would disappear. Just imagine every person on the beach takes the same amount of sand: a small bottle would turn into thousands of small bottles… This is to say: never try to justify yourself with the thought of “it’s only me, what could possibly happen?” It’s not only you. It never is. Some beaches have already been closed to the public because of excessive sand theft and many others became restricted access beaches for the same reason. Sand theft is actually illegal in Sardinia - as well as many other places in Italy. There are two separate laws to protect the environment from thieves. it is forbidden to take away sand, algae, shells/conchs, stones, pebbles, and living or dead animals (such as starfishes) from their place of origin. Tons and tons of sand have been stolen from Sardinia. Just in 2021 I think it was more than 6 tons. You are stealing something that can never be restored!! We have many better souvenirs. If you are someone that has stolen sand from Sardinia and you are reading this comment, please return it.

What followed was: - a visit to a man's house who showed us his home grown cheese with worms - a phone call to the major by his wife to let us spend the night in a very nice villa nearby (i guess owned by the municipality) - a couple of hours with the aforementioned man plus his friends who offered us bottles after bottles of Ichnusa (local beer), while getting fed up at the idea of us paying a single round. - an agreement to load us up his pick up truck (10 people) the next morning to take us to the next town. - a very comfortable night. - the aforementioned ride, the next morning, thanks to his son who gladly spent the rest of the morning with us at the bar of the aforementioned next town, offering us more beers and appetizers than his father the night before.

Then I moved to CA in '77 and you have to make an appointment or an arrangement to go to somebody's house, you can't just drop by and almost everybody kept the doors locked.

Istg we all need community, no wonder all these wisdoms have been lost when we moved to grand cities, at the same time being constantly connected to everything and everyone yet mental health rapidly declining and people contradictory feeling more alone. Little respect is shown to the elders, they usually get tucked away in nursing homes and live as if they aren‘t part of society anymore. It‘s really all rather sad. I think people are realizing this more and more, and I hope communal living with smaller provinces near the city will becomes more and more popular again. I‘m not saying you can‘t be happy in a city, but it‘s just different idk how to explain.

I've lived in Loma Linda my entire life. When I was old enough to explore surrounding cities, it became more clear as to why it is a blue zone. Loma Linda is filled with people who have really strong values when it comes to their health. Small businesses who observe Sabbath will close on Saturdays so the owners can focus on their faith and their family/home. Many locals practice a vegetarian diet. Even the Loma Linda Medical Center / Hospital only serves vegetarian food (for the most part). The local grocery stores still don't sell hard liquor. When I was 11 or 12, my parents opened up a small care facility for the elderly and I had the opportunity to meet several centenarians growing up. I have since moved a few cities away recently and it has already affected me mentally because I’m seeing less of those values. It's nice to see videos that bring exposure to these small towns because these centenarians deserve recognition!

See how they hug and kiss, living so close to each other, not worrying about bugs and sickness. I think that's one of the things that makes a village community like this strong. First of all because of human touch and connection is healthy for us. The second thing is that their immune systems can fight off anything, because everyone is inoculated naturally. Third is the food and climate. Fourth, nobody is alone and lonely. You're part of a big family, like a tribe. Which is how humans lived for thousands of years until we built large cities and became lonely.

[@tinalettieri]

Yep, I was in Palermo in 2021 during the height of COVID. Most everyone was ignoring mask mandates and I made new friends whom I wound up kissing and hugging to say hello and good bye. We have no need of personal space and our own bubbles. In fact, I find that actually a bit offensive.

All of America is not the same. My Grandmother lived as a farmers wife in the countrysides of the state of Iowa. She lived to 95. She was still right in her mind, but her body started declining. The doctor said it was probably due to a surgery she received in her early 40s. The surgery was done before they the medical community totally undestood the afterward ramifications of such a surgery. But she still lived to 95. She lost her husband around 40. She was a very kind person. Was Grandma to all, blood kin or not. She cooked food in the morning preparing for visitors even though no plans were already in place. She would say "someone will visit" She loved God and loved people because of it. So, please dont generalize America according to the state of the big cities. There is so much lovely culture away from the cities. Those that have simplier ways a life.

As a Sardinian I can say that these things are explained in various ways, first of all Sardinia has a very remote history, over 8000 years, so the inhabitants are very related to each other, and it has been shown from science that genetic isolation extends life. Then also put the quality of life, about 7 months a year with the sun and a welcoming climate, good Mediterranean food, very often genuine, the Sardinians of the countryside in fact rarely buy anything in the supermarket, they have meat, eggs, vegetables produced by their farm. And the game is done.

Imagine living at a place where you can leave your key in the door and go about your business. Oh My! The people are so nice and friendly; no wonder they live so long.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

@@trollkatt I think your comment is very hurtful to many, very ignorant & very hostile Just please remember this.....YOUR ancestors too, were immigrants, if they left their homeland and settled elsewhere. They hailed from somewhere & headed to another place, just as many of our ancestors did globally. Also, to suggest that ALL CRIME, ONLY STEMS FROM IMMIGRANTS, seriously, my gosh!! As most would know, you get the good and the bad within ALL ethnic groups on planet earth. NO ethnic group is perfect, completely and utterly crime free all day & all year round. My Dear late & very wise Grandmother used to say, "When discussing humanity as being flawed, it is so true & to think otherwise, is to fool only thyself". In other words, NO human, from any ethnic group is better than the other. Oh of course, some of the ridiculously written history books may tell you this, but most would be aware nowadays, that pretty much most of what they wrote was absolute untruth, only written to suit their own fake/false narratives/ideologies.

So basically. Flee the city and processed junk, be social and drink lots of wine and coffee. Seems simple, but so hard for most of the world to grasp. Another great video, thanks guys!

[@ugwoegbufaithugonma5900]

Yeah

[@0n3MindSpinning]

Western society and capitalism don't want people to live free. Our system either by design or simply cause/effect is made to keep us from achieving what these people have. Look at any small town in America and you'll find just as much blight as in bigger cites, in some cases more. The way we've been taught to live is no way to live at all.

[@pigdictator4558]

Also socialize with your own small community, work as little in village duties, and keep interacting with members of your own community.

My husband and I spent a month traveling Italy in 2019. What we loved the most was the sense of closeness; of community, even in the cities. Sadly, as Americans, we lack this bond in our own country.

Coming from a small village in the Black Mountains of France, this felt exactly like home. People here drink wine all day, at lunch and in the evening, we leave our doors open, everyone is welcoming, and no one speaks a word of English. Half of my family is Italian, all the way to my mom, and French and Italian cultures are very close in many aspects

I m from Greece a mediterranean country close to Italy. Another blue zone is on the island of Icaria in the Aegean sea. I was amazed by the beauty of the island and the people. It is magnificent to see how many similarities Seulo and Icaria have, both have a very strong sense of community, with parties, celebration, kindness, mutual aid, local Mediterranean nutrition, wine and laughs and of course dance. They have a unique style of dancing which are very demanding for the physical activity aspect. I have been to many places in Greece and in Italy but only are not like Seulo and Icaria both places share some unique characteristics that we could learn some valuable lessons.

How much is the cost of living there? What types of jobs are there.

[@lesleyjones6230]

Wonderful

[@jovike7203]

@@amandablevins6809 Cost of living is low if you don’t pretend imported food. You can find a house without luxuries for rent on 300€, and for sale on 50.000 € ( but a separate villa with garden and quality finishes will cost you about 200.000.€ ). The problem is the job. Obviously in a small mountain village of 2000 inhabitants the basic jobs are pastoralism and agriculture and this is the main obstacle for a citizen who wants to move there without experience in this.

[@MsMesem]

Yes, I immediately noticed the Greek style of hospitality, food and dancing. Many Greeks left Greece for Sardinia and Corsica during the reign of the Ottoman empire. You can see so many physical and cultural similarities.

I have the honour to actually know a 100 year old, she “adopted” me and my sister as her grand-grandchildren many years ago. She’s quite the astounding person but the most impressive is, with all she’s been through, how she kept such a happy, friendly personality. She’s one of the most inspiring and special people I’ve ever met and I’m truly honoured to know her.

the secret is to live without stress, without working 8 or 9 hours a day, enjoy life, eat genuine things well, live in the midst of clean air and the sea, this is the secret, it is not difficult but we are so immersed in this sick society that we cannot we realize it. grazie per questo video....thanks for this video.

these are people that lived through two world wars and went through a lot of hardship. So being stress free isnt exactly the only answer. Lots of 100 year olds lived hard lives.
