+sdushdiu Americans don't eat as much meat than Hong Kong people so now they have shorter life span than HK people. HK people now consume 30% more meat and poultry than Americans, their life span is longer than Americans. In fact according to UN, in 2015 HK men has world longest life span! HK people's per capita total consumption of meat (beef, pork, lamb, poultry) is highest in the world, this not even including fish/seafood, eggs, snakes, turtles, pigeons, etc!

Some rice or bread is ok but don't eat too much. If so, whole grain or brown or mixed rice is good. Meat is ok but not too much. basically a balanced diet. @@dinisnunes9230

Those purple sweet potatoes are no small detail. I got 30 lbs of Okinawan purple sweet potatoes from Hawaii --- they are really VERY good... and it's no wonder why the Okinawans would have chosen to eaten them --- not by logic, they just taste good (much meatier than the regular orange one's we have in the states -- sometimes almost bread like.)

The one's from Hawaii (I get them at the Asian market also) have deep purple flesh --- like purple potatoes. They are really different than regular American sweet potatoes. If I had to eat sweet potatoes as my main staple, the Purple (Okinawan) sweet potato serves much better than the American --- they are (the purple/Okinawan) mulch more bread like in texture.

I just want to keep my health, independence and self reliance throughout my life. I don't want to be 60 or 70 and immobile because of health reasons I could have prevented.

+Mario G I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I started researching vegetarian diets to avoid supporting the industries that abuse animals. I was willing to avoid eating meat if there were no adverse health consequences for it despite the fact that at that time I liked the taste of meat and it is more convenient to pick meals without being concerned about animal body parts being in the meal. My research indicated that there are actually health benefits to avoiding animal products so the decision to avoid them was easy for me. However, I don't think that I would have become vegan if the available evidence suggested that avoiding animal products increases one's risk of chronic diseases. Fortunately, the available evidence suggests eating whole plant foods reduces one's risk of suffering from a chronic disease.

How is it a bad thing to fight for animal rights? Sounds to me like all you care about is your health, and not the animals, and comes across pretty selfish. Vegans don't want to be associated with "dietary vegans" because they have no problem with wearing fur, leather, ect. You had said animal welfare was your first concern so I'm confused as to why you wouldn't want to be labeled as a vegan.

Nonetheless in the last decades their consumption of sweat potatoes has dropped as a consequence of their recent Westernization of their lifestyle, particularly of their diet.

The countries with higher per capita sweet potato consumption have shorter life span!!! Stop falling for media and marketer lies, and stop parroting those lies over and over again without checking actual statistics and facts. There is absolutely no evidence and there has never been any scientific study proofing eating eating sweet potato can increase life span. Reality tells a different story, people who have highest consumption of sweet potato have shorter life span!!! *Sweet Potato Consumption in grams/person/day, 2011 UN data.

I think it's really interesting how they don't eat until they completely full, that goes against what most people in the hclf community say. Personally I've listened to Freelee's, Bonnys etc advice and always eating until I'm full and I wasn't feeling too great, now I stop eating before I'm too full and I feel lots better. I think it's important to be mindful when you eat, I'm not talking about deliberately restricting your calories but to listen to your body and in most cases you're body will tell you to not stuff yourself even if you're eating fruit.

Most people I think would live to 100 if they all followed a healthy diet from the beginning of their lives. But if you start late in life, no diet will boost you to live to 100. My doc told me by 50, it's too late. Said we can improve the rest of what life we have left, but won't be able to prolong it because too much damage is done. I have an elderly friend who is 95 and been a SDA since he married an Adventist at age 27 and stopped eating meat , he tested positive for CV19 and you'd never guess this 95 y/o man had it!!! Amazing.

Japan, like many countries involved with World-War 2, had a level of rationing which impacted their diet for a decade after the end of the war. The data therefore may not be a typical insight into their diet, but one influenced due to circumstance. Also, exercise and low-stress lifestyle that you typically find on island/remote communities is also likely to be important.

+Future10Video Okay I'll bite (pun intended).... The data you posted doesn't break down the % of meat being eaten by age category - a criteria that is very important in determining what food sources are contributing to the total calorie intake of those 65 years old or older and what they may have eaten throughout their lives. Numbers are meaningless without context. And your data talks about averages - how do we know that it's not the younger generation shoveling the beef into their mouths versus the older generation especially since those Hong Kongers who are 65 yrs old and above account for only 15.4% of the total population per the Hong Kong Govt Census and Statistics department (mid-2015 census): www.censtatd.gov.hk/hkstat/sub/sp150.jsp?tableID=002&ID=0&productType=8. And Hong Kong is a huge tourist stop - It's very probable that foreigners are adding to that meat eating average.

T Brown For centuries Okinawa was known as Islands of Pork because of the islands were full of wild pigs, popularity of traditional Okinawan pork cuisine dishes made them famous in Japan. Historical records show Okinawans consumed a lot of pork, the only time their pork consumption decreased was due to WW2 when American troops murdered 1/2 of Okinawan population and wild pigs to stop Japanese troops from surviving on the islands. In the 10 years after WW2, the US military turned the islands into a huge military base and restricted Okinawans from fishing, hunting and farming for foods, that caused a serious food shortage crisis for the Okinawans. It was at that time the US government conducted a dietary survey on Okinawans, Willcoxs use that survey for their lying "Okinawa Sweet Potato Longevity Diet" report!

The 1950 Okinawan dietary report used in "Okinawa Diet Study" by Willcox was based on a 1949 survey conducted by the US government on Okinawans food consumption at the time when Okinawa had recently turned into a huge US military base and a war zone in preparation, at the time entire Japan included Okinawa was under recovery from losing WW2, food shortage was a major problem for both mainland Japanese and native Okinawans.

Okinawans were restricted from their traditional farming, hunting and fishing due to US military control of their entire islands area, in preparing war with communists on Asia mainland. Okinawans had to resort to eating mostly sweet potatoes not by their choice but due to lack of other food supplies. Sweet potato had been brought in from China hundreds of years ago to feed the pigs on Okinawa islands, sweet potatoes were not for human consumption but for pig feeds! Sweet potatoes were also used as pig feeds in China. In the next few years after that survey done in 1949, Okinawans' food supplies improved a bit, their consumption of sweet potato decreased because more supplies of of the other traditional food items such pork, goat meat and fish became increasingly available. *Pork, especially wild pig meat was so vital to Okinawan culture that Okinawans often refer to their islands as the “Islands of Pork.”* Domesticated pigs were first brought in from China in 1392, that was over 600 years ago, some runaway pigs multiplied and populated Okinawa. Wild pigs multiple very fast within a short time. Sweet potatoes grow very well in Okinawa, pigs love eating them. Because of the vast supply of wild pigs and farm pigs on Okinawa islands the people there naturally ate them regularly. For centuries Okinawa pork cuisine dishes have always been famous in Japan.

In 1392 Chinese farm pigs were brought into Okinawa islands (was named Ryukyus then), but they failed to become widespread because of a lack of food in the farms of the time. *When sweet potatoes were introduced from Fukkien Province in China, however, the practice of pig breeding spread rapidly, marking the beginning of the meat eating culture.* The *relationship between ‘pork and sweet potato’ occupies a special position in Okinawan food culture*, favorable geographical conditions helping the combination to *become by far the most important food items*. It goes without saying that *all the pig was eaten, including the fat, leaving nothing behind*.

As an Adventist I have seen many in our church eating animal products and plenty of overweight people. We have a health message but unfortunately it is not followed by many. I asked the pastor to address this but he always tells me there is so much to get through before he gets to that. As dietary guidelines are a part of bible teachings I think it is important to talk about them on the Sabbath by the Pastor!

+frederico George I don't think its fair to lump all SDA members into one category by saying many don't follow it. They wouldn't be doing studies on us if the majority were eating animal products and overweight. Mrs White does say the health message is the right arm of the gospel and that violating the health laws are to be taken as seriously as violating God's law. But I don't think this is the proper forum to be putting your Pastor on blast. The Pastor can't do everything. Members make up the church, so maybe more of us should step up and do our part.

And I’ve noticed that the younger Okinawan generations are getting bigger & the middle age are getting sicker. The older generations are eating the Okinawan foods. They are thin and strong !

This diet data was taken in 1949, right when the war killed the majority of their pig population. Few years after the war they already had their pig population back at the normal amount, which means more pigs than people, and went back to their diet rich in pig meat and fat. They weren't in ketosis most likely, but they did and still do eat A LOT of pig. In okinawa they say that every dish starts with pig and ends with pig.

Only problem with relying on post-war 1949 data is that it may not accurately reflect actual traditional diets especially when you consider how devastated Okinawa was by the war. The other problem is the number of centenarians per 100,000 people in Okinawa didn't significantly increase until more recently in the late 1980's, 90's and the first decade of this century. There weren't that many centenarians in 1949.

This is not the whole story. Okinawans cook their food with Lard ( pork fat). Their cuisine is considered to be very greasy. In reality they are eating a starch based high animal fat (not the meat) diet.. Go figure. There are two other variables. After WW2 they went through a severe famine killing off the weaker members of the population. We are now looking at people who were the strongest most hardy members. The second factor was mentioned, they eat a calorie restricted diet which is known to prolong like. And there are other factors such as how the elderly are respected and kept involved in their culture which also is know to aid in a long lifespan.

+Pankaj Duggal Vegan diets are inherently unhealthy because they are unbalanced. Humans would not have survived as a species had they eaten this in the wild. There are three macro nutrients Carbohydrate, fat and protein. If you short your body of any one of them you use up your reserves until they are depleted and then the wheels come off. People then often switch to a different diet that includes the missing nutrient and feel better. If that new diet is also missing a macro nutrient they often need to switch again later to find that missing component.. Vegan diets typically short the person on getting enough protein and getting enough fat. It replaces two vital nutrients with too much carbohydrate. A natural diet for humans contains the optimal amount of all three, not too much and not too little. The Okinawan diet ( as it really is) is much closer to the right amounts of each since they use large amounts of pig fat ( lard) in their cooking. Also, plants and especially whole grains and legumes have very high toxicity levels. They damage the gut and block full digestion. A diet high in grains and beans but low in fat and protein is a recipe for disaster.

I didnt say a vegan diet, as you can still eat a lot of crap - coke and chips are vegan. I am talking about a low fat (ie very low amounts of added veg oils if any), low added sugar and whole plant diet. A diet with legumes cannot be low in protein. Red Lentils have 26% protein - it is not low at all compared to lamb at 25%. Plus they have complex carbs at 60%. lots of fibre, minerals, vitamins and virtually no fat. Check out the numbers for yourself.
@Marcinmd1
@Marcinmd1 9 жыл бұрын
+Pankaj Duggal Your math is fuzzy... Lentils are high in protein as a percentage of their size...Lentils are very very small :) The relevant number is what percentage of protein does a food contain PER 100 GRAMS. That tells you how much you would need to eat to get enough protein in your diet... Lentils fall woefully short and other legumes are worse. Lentils may be the best of a bad choice. Cooked lamb: 20.91 to 50.9 Cooked beef: 16.9 to 40.6 Boiled lentils:9 The optimal protein consumption for humans is around 18% of daily calories eaten per day.. You would have to eat lentils by the shovel full compared to meat. The other problem with legumes is that they are very difficult to digest and remain in the gut to ferment which is why you can get gassy after eating them. They contain an array of toxins and anti-nutrients like Phytic acid that may bind to nutrients and prevent you from absorbing them..Only cereal grains like wheat are worse. Naturally raised animal meat is very low in toxins. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foods_by_protein_content As to a very low fat diet, that is a different conversation but the science is becoming very clear as time goes by that saturated fat is necessary for good health. You simply cant utilize fat soluble vitamins without it in your diet and you can become A and D deficient without enough fat. www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/nutritional-adjuncts-to-the-fat-soluble-vitamins/ A healthier form of a Vegan Diet ( organic, no sugar etc.) that is low fat is unbalanced can can leave you depleted once your body has used up it's stores of fat and protein. It can also be highly toxic and lead to gut damage.. It would not be survivable in the wild so we are not adapted to it very well. For one example many women become infertile on a low fat diet and are quickly restored once they are put on a high fat diet... That is mother nature giving us a big hint.IMHO
@safardebon9720
@safardebon9720 9 жыл бұрын
Marcinmd1 Look at it again, raw lentils are at 26%, why are you using the boiled figure. And because when they are cooked, the 100g becomes about 250g with added water, they are complete food and satiate as well, because the volume increases and has fibre. They include protein, complex carbs, fiber, low fat, very low saturated fat, vitamins, minerals, phyto nutrients, anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories - the lot. That is why they are nutritionally superior. Yes some people have trouble digesting them because of biome issues/lack of good gut bacteria - a result of sub-optimum diet of meat and dairy for many years. Same goes for wheat unless you have celiac.

Sorry, but this video is all over the place. There are many variables in lifestyle and longevity. The water you drink, the air you breathe, your lifestyle, your overall pace of living and stress levels, your geneology, your diet, your environment, etc. When it comes food intake specifically, you have considerations for all kinds of chemically laden, genetically modified, and hybrid strains of grown foods and then you have farm raised fish, fowl, & animals vs. free range animals. It's not just what you eat or how much of any one thing. Case in point, my grandmother (born in the 1800s) was poor all her life. She ate animals she raised (rabbits, chickens, etc.), fruits and vegetables that she grew (widely varied vegetable garden with herbs plus peaches, apples, & pears) and hardly ever went to the market (she used to barter with neighbors who raised and grew different things than her). I guess you could say she had a natural paleo diet. Her environment was relatively clean with fairly fresh drinking water. She never drank or smoked, never drove an automobile, and never spoke a single word of English. She died a few months before her 104th birthday... and died from nothing. The doctor said she simply expired from old age. She was only in the hospital one day in her entire life, she outlived her husband, outlived 5 of her 6 children, and hardly ever got sick (I say hardly because I never heard of her being sick or saw her sick). So in my opinion, her secret to a long and healthy life was "clean chemical free non-hybrid and non gmo food", "clean water", "clean air", and stress free natural living within her own environment.

One mistake: At the 3:40 minute mark, Dr. Greger refers to the Adventists that outlive Okinawans as “vegetarians.” They are not. They are vegan, which is a very different eating approach than vegetarians’. Vegetarians eat unhealthy cow’s milk, cheese, cream, yogurt, and other dairy products. They also eat eggs. Vegans do not eat any of these fat-laden, hormone-filled foods. Even the most unprocessed milk is filled with estrogen, by its very nature, being produced by pregnant cows to feed their calves.

The pyramid at 1:05 is still inaccurate. It looks like it was readjusted according the height of each of the sections without taking into account the way the area changes. The width of the triangle gets smaller as you go up, so you need more height to get the same area as the section below. The height of the vegetables and fruit section in the readjusted picture appears to be about 70% of the height of the pyramid, but that would make it about 90% of the area. To make it 72% of the area, it would only need to be about 48% of the height. This is my attempt to readjust the image taking that into account using the data from table 1 at 1:50. (I used mspaint and assumed 1% figures for each of the meat and sweets sections so it is still probably not perfect) : drive.google.com/file/d/1daHOwk79G72zDUrLMJiMd9PO8fmvBgrh/view?usp=sharing. Can I also say that it seems a bit misleading to group fruits and vegetables together when that tables says that fruit was less than 1% of their calories. I'm not anti fruit or anything but like come on.

Gregers pyramid of actual representation is wrong. Fruit should not be on there. Okinawans ate more fish than they did fruit. So their diet is mostly sweet potatoes, rice, veg, soy, grain, fish, and alcohol. Right on

When I was an omnivore, I never understood the enthusiasm folks had for eating organs whose functions were to act as the body's toxic waste removers (i.e., liver and kidneys). I get it... when you are living in a time where food is really scarce and it's a choice between eat animals or go malnourished, you eat the animals. But in developed countries these days, unless one is severely impoverished, one has the choice to eat plant-based or animal-based. I watched the Std American Diet (SAD) kill both my parents and eating the animal based SAD literally nearly killed me. Since I switched over to WF-vegan, my health and life have been transformed and I fully expect to not only out live my parents, but have a healthful end of life

One aspect of the population of Okinawa that has not been considered, imho: the population of Okinawa during the years all these studies were done was of extremely unusual construction of cohorts. 1.) The "typhoon of steel," the American invasion of 1945, and the subsequent mass suicides had stripped out of the population pyramid a vast segment of the middle and young years. 2.) Massive emigration from Okinawa to the Japanese "mainland," the four main islands, continued to strip out the young during the years of the Ikeda Income Doubling Plan and then Japan's mass consumer-industrialisation. For these two reasons, the population of Okinawa was unique in the world in its blessing of old folks. It's still perfectly plausible to me that the Okinawa diet is sound. Fish and veggies is a good diet everywhere in the world. Further, the Okinawans are a people of unusual intelligence, sprightliness, and joie de vivre. One would expect them to live long and well. Stillt statistical work which does not take the unusual circumstances around their unusual stacking of population cohorts does not prove what these folks are claiming. I think their claims are probably true. Sloppy research, though, does not prove it. -dlj.
