Longevity expert: surprising daily habits that shorten your life | Dr. Peter Attia

[@barbarasardella7680]

I love listening to Dr Attia. I'm 82 and have been eating healthy and exercising daily for 60 years. I have no health issues. I'm lucky to be able to swim in the Pacific for 2 hours a day. I figure if I'm going to live long I want to be healthy and active.

I've trained running speed for 58 years, strength for 53 years, flexibility & mobility for 41 years. It's been very rewarding all along, and the current benefits are immense. I caution against thinking of exercise as "going to the gym." If that's what gives you excited anticipation and enjoyment, great. I lift in gyms sometimes and often at home. But I really enjoy getting out among our local islands in un-motorized boats, walking and running the twisty up and down trails on our hills, and playing basketball. The best exercise is the one you don't skip because you enjoy it so much!

Right on the money Attila. Starting getting a little chubby in my 40’s first MI at 53 and 2nd at 54. Changed to a protein heavy minimal carb diet, began walking 1 hour each day (7 days a week), 17 minutes of HIIT 3 times per week and 20 minutes of weight lifting Monday-Friday. Made a massive difference. I some of Peter’s recommendations on various exercises like bar hangs, farmers carry and wall squats so I can build up those skills and strengths for longevity. 63 YO now and sprinting fast!

[@andanssas]

She might have had a point though: a cheap dirt/mountain bike would probably be a better choice for an irregular exercise routine, for your lungs, for fun (dirt tracks riding do not compare with boring roads) and avoiding road traffic stress/accidents... How often have you been using it?

[@patriciahoke4722]

But then, you gotta be sure to ride it, more than once!

[@MB-up3mh]

@andanssas I thought so too! But I bought more expensive bike (gravel bike so kind of mix of road bike and mountain bike) and I can tell you, the difference with my previous cheap mountain bike is huuuge. It's easier to go for longer, faster rides, great gears give you more control. And it's not boring at all! Because of the distance range you get with it, you can choose completely different route everytime. Or go for a group ride. Or do some intervals, or zone 2 steady cardio. And when endorphins kicks in it's just a pure pleasure. So I fully recommend anyone who thinks it makes no sense to spend more money on a bike to give It a try.

[@DaanavMahashay]

Dr Peter’s some really key points that I have not heard anywhere else: - old age die due to eccentric activities - even though metabolic disease do not cause death they amplify the other death causes - our current health care focuses more on cure than prevention There are many more such points in this video.

"We have a lot of control over what will happen to us" Brilliantly stated and quite powerful for those who are already in that quadrant of the matrix, ready to do what it takes to change their outcome. But important to state that not everyone is in that part of the curve and that doesn't make them less competent or unwilling. They too need support but their care is often more complex and requires a lot more handholding and support.

Exactly. I'm 40 years old and live in the center of beautiful Heidelberg Germany. I inhabit a flat with 2 students, to save money. I can walk to work (ICU nurse), but I have an old used bike for less then 200 bucks. I don't need to travel. Heidelberg is paradise. No car, no kids. I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap. You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks and enjoy life 💟

[@greenknitter]

You're an American who has moved there? -you say bucks instead of euro...Would love to see Heidelberg, it's supposed to be very pretty. I lived in Stuttgart where my partner is, now back in Ireland. We are so lucky to not need cars to get everywhere in Europe. Ireland is more car centric but still nowhere near like North America and I don't own one either. Highest quality food here in the EU too which makes a huge difference to our health. Glad you're living your best life in Germany, a great country to live overall.

[@kathygann7632]

Health span is SO important! My mother is 97.5 years old and has been in bed for the last 4 years with her mind mostly intact. It has really frustrated her that she can’t get up and walk much (she was able to walk with a walker less than 10 feet to the bathroom until about a year ago) and her failing eyesight prevented reading, decreased hearing decreased her ability to communicate well and engage in conversations with more than one or two people, and not being able to get around in even a wheelchair prevented her from going to her beloved church or visit with friends that can’t get to her. She has one dear, dear friend alive, and they can’t get to each other. In the last two weeks, she has lost her memories and it has frightened her. She has repeatedly stated she wished she’d died when she was 87. She has also asked why she is still alive, and said she doesn’t know how to die, and God hasn’t told her how to.

[@sectionalsofa]

I empathize with you. I know what it's like to watch a loved one suffer. Have you contacted hospice? They are wonderful at providing comfort. By the way, hospice is not only for those whose death is imminent. My mother was on hospice for a year and they offered so much support and guidance.

That's a critical point rarely discussed: how long you're healthy is more important than how long you live. That's the light bulb technique that I'm hoping for myself - perfect health for as long as possible then suddenly death rather than the zinc battery technique where you gradually go down.

[@duckpuddles]

At the age of 70 I have just completed the Zoe blood sugar tests which I can thoroughly recommend. All of the things you mentioned are very important, but one thing that I have not heard mentioned is the quality of the water we drink. I have been very worried about the state of our water from the taps here in the UK. The amount of drugs that are slipping into the system, cocaine as well as hormone let alone the additives. The fact that in London it has passed through many human alimentary systems before it is consumed. We now drink pure spring water from a hillside where a pipe has been introduced deep into the strata and there is no possibility of contamination. I had the water analysed and was pleasantly surprised to find an excellent result but was horrified to see the levels of various chemicals and Ecoli that are allowed in tap water. Some examples are Copper you are allowed 2000 parts/litre my water has less than 0.2,, lead 10 parts I have less than 0.1, E Coli allowed less than 0.1, I have 0. Since our bodies are made up of so much water, I think more emphasis should be placed on it. The other aspect of course is security from acts of terrorism

[@elizabethlemoine8857]

Thank you for bringing that up. I too wonder about water quality: not just the drugs and hormones entering from other systems, but the chemicals added to the water to make it 'safe' and the whole matrix: how all these things combine with the natural mineral components of water. I don't have access to uncontaminated spring water, but find some of my digestive problems ease when I visit family in another city, with different water source and treatment systems. Without any change in diet, the effect is so predictable and positive, my guess is that it has to be 'something in the water' as they say. Another locus for more research in the future, I hope.

[@duckpuddles]

@@elizabethlemoine8857 yes, I only gave you an example of three of the many things they tested, and my Spring water came out either zero or less than one, but you are right that they can only test so much and apart from the things they do not test there must be many combinations of chemicals that form new compounds as yet unknown No wonder there are so many places here in the UK named “Holywell!”

We have a water filter jug that we fill with tap water and hope that it minimises the risk from tap water. Spring water bottled in plastic apparently is contaminated from the plastic. Water fresh from the spring, way to go!!

Also about 3 months in my hand feet started changing, felt like additional mass only very soft and plump, probably water retention.

Although he is a vegetarian for many decades, but does not exercise, in the least, had a heart attack a few years ago. Oh, he has been a complete vegetarian all the years. You need to adopt an exercise plan, maintain it and with a healthy diet. It’s not that hard really, once you get into a routine you will find it’s something you maintain because without it, you actually miss it. It is enjoyable for sure. People now days simply eat too much combine with no exercise plan. Occasionally if I am in a restaurant, it’s common to see people eat super size meals, etc. Not good.

Is damage building slowly undetected in early life ever partly or wholly reversible while still in relatively good health?

I listened to this podcast with trepidation, as i have recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The diagnosis was a great shock to me, l had told my doctor, some months ago, i was concerned about my memory and he referred me to a memory clinic. After cognition tests, which i was told were good for my age (82), I had an MRI of my brain. It terns out i have both Vascular and Alzheimer's dementia. I was never involved in sports of any kind. I love walking, my main hobby is /was, painting and drawing but, even that, has taken a back seat sínce I fell and broke my back in 2018. Being always optimistic, I am determined to do all l can to avoid letting Alzheimer's beat me. I have a wonderful husband who supports me in every way. I do not want to be a burden to him> Exercise, exercise, is all that shouts at me. I feel bad that I can't find the energy or willpower to get up and do it. Thank you so much for all ZOE is doing. God bless you.

I’m so sorry for your diagnosis. Your inner wisdom is screaming at you? I so hope you start to heed that message. A walk might be a good way to start.

Carbohydrates. The higher the total carbs the faster and the more refined and processed… the faster. There are no Essential carbohydrates, so you could really be healthy with none or very little, eventually. Flour, starches, all sugars, juice, pop, are spikers of blood sugar. Test your Vitamin D level as well. 25(OH)D Most are deficient, very deficient. Avoid statins, they spike blood sugar. Watch out for other drugs that spike blood sugar, like corticosteroids. Avoid alcohol, smoking, recreational drugs, poor sleep, being sedentary. Even standing up during commercials while watching TV, or strolling 20-30 minutes after meals helps. Watch for sugars in drinks. Fluid sugars are fast sugars, spiking blood sugar. Avoid fructose, HFCS. Avoid processed seed oils. Get light and sun in the morning. Drink water when you are thirsty, don’t chug. Avoid all processed foods, and drinks. Always read ALL the side effects if taking any medication. Social interaction with good people helps with feeling better.

SPIKE IN GLUCOSE IS FINE AS LONG AS ITS HEALTHY FOODS

Just began reading OUTLIVE checked out from the local library

I like this vid. Good insight and good show.

Great discussion. The problem with treating people early before they show signs and need treatments is it's nowhere near as profitable for pharmaceutical companies.

Maximize fitness when we are young in order to be able to continue to enjoy life as we age. No joke, it is so very important to be as fit as we can as we get older because we will decline no matter what as we get closer to the end.
