Modern Aging - Holistic Health and Wealth After 50 : I have heard of the Blue Zones, but I don’t know where they all are. I will have to do some research. I turned 52 last month, and my biggest issues are stress and lack of motivation. Stress will destroy one’s health like nothing else. I am trying to figure out ways to handle stress better, and to encourage myself to be more active outdoors. I have beautiful yards and I do much to tend them, but it is not a daily thing. As the mother of 6, the majority of my life has been raising my children, and that is the best work I have ever known. My youngest is in her first year of high school and now the only one at home. Adjusting to the different seasons life brings is not so easy sometimes. I enjoyed your video and have just subbed. *Thank you* for your tips and advice.
My friend is vegetarian and at 42 she looks 22, and more importantly she feels 22. Her outlook is so positive, and she cheers me up. I think another thing about diet, especially as we age, is to cut out sugar, and all kinds of it. Minimize fruit even, and instead move toward vegetables with bean dips. Mash up some white fava, add a little olive oil and salt--get the carrots and celery going, the bell peppers, or better yet rhubarb stalks (don't be afraid of the tartness, and remember not to eat the leaves, as they are poisonous). Definitely avoid ALL cane juice products. Drink a ton of water, and if you want to flavor it, go with lemon. The reminder to do "desk exercise" is great too, especially squats, holding on to the edge of the desk. Awesome.
Connect with nature more. Go to a place of solitude (into a corner of garden, forest or something like that) and spent at least 1-2 hours per week there without any disturbance. At least walk for 20-30 minutes per day with bare foot, which would physically connect you to mother earth. Do fasting even without water at least twice a month (preferably on the 11th day of every lunar fortnight). Try to finish your dinner before sunset, but if that's not possible then make it max by 8PM in the night.
Im mostly vegetarian although i do eat meat several times a week. Im 54 and retired, and have been gardening since age 49 so i grow my own food. Okinawa is just a hop skip and a jump away from me (Philippines). That active, healthy, rural life almost gives you a second life. Everyone should do it after beating our bodies up during our careers!
Thanks for your video, it is very uplifting. I'm 55, turning 56 in 3 months, and I am on a heavy side, but it didnt stop me from exercising, like running, biking and mountain climbing. I may not have the speed, but a continuous and regular exercise does give me the endurance to keep going. I'm just slightly conscious of eating healthy, but I try to make sure I eat in moderation...
There are virtually no vegetarians in Japan (outside monasteries). People eat fish, practically every day, often twice a day. Fish eating is one thing blue zones have in common.
I love everything about this episode, Risa! Valuable lessons for a longer, healthier life! We are currently back on a Whole 30 diet, a challenge that is worth the effort. Better sleep, more energy and a lighter sense of being! Thanks for the reminders and tips! Here’s to a longer, healthier life for all of us!
I have been a vegan for 3 years not healthy vegan, junk food vegan then I started eating meat because some doctors there it will be good for my gallstone. It has been downhill from there. I had gallstones before being vegan. So now I am trying to work into a healthy plant base diet. So thank you for the inspiration.
I love your insight! I am doing vegetarian several times per week ? You’re absolutely right! I crave vegetables! I drink lots of water, which forces me to get up 😍
I like your enthusiasm towards living full and healthy. One more thing you forgot to mention. Oh I just forgot, oh well I need to walk a mile to remember what I want to say to you.😊
Bravo ! 👏Omg Risa ! Iam so BLESSED i just found you !☺ iam totally with you in all you are saying . I feel and try to live the exact way . I adore the asian lifestyle . My food is a mix of asian and european meditenerrian cuisine ❤ Iam so grateful i can get more and new inspirations and positives vibes through and from you . Sadly i do not have the right envirnoment ( nature ) and comunity now . Thanke you so much 🙏🙅😘
Thanks os much Anette. Very kind of you to say....yes it does help when we meet with like-minded souls! Keep pushing forward and be inspired every single day. :)
For some, vegan diets work really well and that's great especially if you have some food allergies. Since people are all different, it is hard to make a blanket statement as to what is best. That being said, incorporating mostly fresh vegetables and reducing meat products in your diet will help a lot. I do recommend reducing dairy (from a cow) as well -- and there are lots of alternatives on the market now which is great.
I have to highly disagree with you. I was an ex vegan for 5 years, and my health deteriorated on eating a only vegan whole foods diet. It wasn’t after I started incorporating good quality animal foods back into my diet, that my teeth and health started to heal. We need animal foods in our diet to be optimally healthy overall. The people of Okinawa eat plenty of meat too! Also, since when have our ancestors we’re ever Vegan? I don’t recall such nonsense and don’t recommend the vegan diet long term.
@@blasiangoddess9831 - you have a nerve, acting as though you represent everyone - the arrogance! A vegan diet works for me, and while others a vegetarian, or even a flexitarian diet can be better. Whatever, eating meat everyday is a proven folly. Treatment: Try a little evidence based thinking in your life, and slow down a little on the fundamentalism....Cheers...
I so agree with the observation that turning 60 really changes the body and that we feel our mortality, and that it INVIGORATES us! Well put! I've been vegetarian a long, long time - but never ever want to be vegan, lol. It's easy for me to get moving in the morning, but WAY harder in the early evening - so that's something I need to work on. I've also just started a local group where we get together a couple of times a month, so the loner in me is forcing myself into occasional social groups! Thanks for this video!
This is so awesome!!! Glad to see you are already putting things into practice. And surely others will see that you are doing it, and will follow suit. we are all in this together :)
my lady friend out of the community where I living in to like the park for a bumper vehicle she don’t want nobody scratch your vehicle open up the door I enjoyed that walk going up to the store buy me Foods other things I might need from the house

They don't normally mention the Okinawans eat lots of pork and they live far enough away that most people don't know any better. I believe the reason why Buettner gets it wrong is not because of a deliberate attempt to deceive, but more likely its another example of what happens when we look at the world through the current medical dietary dogma. After all, if you believe that meat and animal fats are bad for you, then by default you wouldn’t list them as contributors to longevity. Which is a shame because people might continue to be misinformed
I told you I want to go and I had no transportation it’s hard for me to go to church every week I have no clue church in my area I don’t like to go I have to go for 20 miles go to church every single Sunday and also I do have to take a company bus Monday to Friday maybe Saturday oh couple hours I do have to pay attention of the clock if I don’t I maybe have to walk home when I walk closer to my home people speeding anywhere from 60 up to 65 mph it’s very dangerous spoke to at night time including you in the daylight
you are 100% right right now I have no transportation I hit a deer back in Second week of June 2020 I miss driving my vehicle around I can get out in safe Area The year of 2019 last time to walk I do have some friends in the community one specially she’d like to come around take me out three days a week walk around state park and our area other four days I try to walk around my neighborhood at the main entrance of my neighborhood have no sidewalks the cars get a speeding close to 60 mph up to 65 mph I do like to take a county bus go about 20 miles north for two days a week go to downtown area of my location we’re living in One of the lady friends in my community not too long ago to have her brain operated on after that couple months later her side is Half paralyzed do you have a hard time reaching her arms above her Head to her own hair or put on a T-shirt and even flashed and a bra strap her husband have to do that all for her he is About 65 how tall he is diabetic do usually have a lot of sweets around their house when you go don’t see my family members my dad he have a house he is 91 years old he’s going to be 92 this coming November he do like to go out to walk around his neighborhood I do like to walk very early in the morning before he wake up about 5:30 am or 6 o’clock am
Thanks for the social tip to garden together. BTW, I too used to refer to kids in my classroom as people. Would it be absurd to call groups by something more Friendly, like folks, like Joe Biden does.
I don't think it is all genetics. Genetics play a big part, yes, but I think it is many things combined. These people may be able to get away with smoking because they live in an area with fresher air and their bodies can heal more because of less stress and exercise. People should not compare the meat and cheese that they eat in America to the meat and cheese that the people in Blue zones eat. Their cheese is usually not from the mass produced cows in America, it us Sheep's milk that is high in omega 3's and not pasteurized like dairy products in America. The difference is their overall quality of food. The meat, eggs, cheese, wine, are all better quality. Their bodies can handle things better because of their overall health. An American will probably not have the same results. They would definitely need genetics on their side.
Have you heard of the blue zones? Do you have other tips for longevity? Please share below! Thanks so much for watching :)

Modern Aging If I can get past the current upload issues I’m having, I will be happy to! Lol. I’m on temporary hold until I can resolve the problem 🥴
The key to stay heathly is stay single.To many Golddiggers out there.i have been there.
Very true.
Thanku for giving me this useful information
Great advice. One thing I might add, a slice of pizza once in a while won't hurt (with a friend).
that is true...as long as it is with a friend...and maybe a scoop of ice cream. :)

Nice! hope you are feeling like you have more energy. It is all going to pay off :).
Thanks for reminding me of the basics (that I keep ignoring 😕) and for giving concrete tips. Well done.
we all need a little reminder and nudge every once in a while. :) thanks for watching!
Modern Aging - Is this not a contradiction?
I thought pork and fish was a large part of japanese diet?
I like your enthusiasm towards living full and healthy. One more thing you forgot to mention. Oh I just forgot, oh well I need to walk a mile to remember what I want to say to you.😊
