@user-jy7js7tu9y What I'm saying is that if you're a doctor giving out nutritional advice and have lived to over 100 years old, then you have more credibility over someone who's a doctor and 40 years old. We have doctors on TH-cam who have been saying that the carnivore diet is healthier when they haven't even tried it in the long term.

My grand father passed away at age 112 years. the same day I went for a walk with my grand father, he had no sickness at all.

I have been following my grand father's discipline so far and I plan on living much longer than 112 years of age. God Willing.
my grandmother is still alive, she is 101 years old and eats 1 kg of white sugar a week, bread, eggs, minced meat, dried fruit, sometimes apples. I think vegetarianism would have killed her. I also believe that it is not sensible to attribute a secret to this doctor just because he is 100 years old

@@GarudaLegendsonly because most vegans have a very unhealthy diet with lots of sugar and carbs and processed foods. A healthy vegaan diet would be great, it's just really hard to stick to. So most vegans eat ultraprocessed foods, which are just as bad as non vegan ultra processed foods.

@@Joseph1NJ how many eggs do you think he eats daily? Dr. John Scharfenberg was born into a vegetarian family and has kept a vegetarian diet since childhood, although he also consumes milk and eggs, making him a lacto-ovo vegetarian. This dietary decision comes from his belief that a plant-based diet boosts general health.Jan 22, 2024
Having grown up in Montana, my father was a cowboy, so we had a lot of meat and potatoes as our staple. There was a time in the 80s when the price of meat escalated 25% in a very short time, and I decided to reduce my consumption of meat over the course of two years, then began on my quest as a vegetarian, and have been one for 40 years, and at 77, I look at least 20 years younger, am an extreme walker, meaning anually walking between 4200 to 6400 kilometers a year, whereas my car barely gets in 200 km. I buy only fresh fruits and seasonal vegetables, cook everything fresh, bake my own breads, and avoid all processed and packaged foods. I know what goes into everything I eat, including having quality control. Several of my ancestors lived to be a ripe old age, and I'm looking to do the same, enjoying life everyday.
I am on a diet plan of higher protein, which is meat or fish, lower carbs, white rice, and sourdough bread. I also look 20 to 25 years younger. I have veggies and fruit. Not smoking or drinking. I grew up without fridge, so I cook all my meals fresh. I do not use microwaves. I have cacao drinks and green tea every day. I am 68. I went to Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mt a year ago. I was fine with the altitude. I am planning to do Everest base camp next year.
This man is unfathomly based. He looks great, he looks the same age as my mum, she's 74 and very healthy. My dad who is 73 looks far older as his body is racked by lung cancer and heart disease and diabetes all self inflicted. I'm vegan and overweight and 50 this year, but I've been losing weight after a bad year last year. And as a teetotal, non smoker, who is off the sugar and oily foods my GP is pretty happy with me as long as I keep losing weight. This guy makes me happy to think I could do it, I could live to 100!
@@bonsummers2657 I would say mum is the same. She eats very little meat, mainly fish and enjoys the odd bit of cheese or scrambled eggs. But I go see her for lunch every week and she cooks amazing vegan food, and she eats a lot of veggies as part of her diet too. She also has small portions and rarely eats dessert. I'd love her to be vegan, but as long as she is mostly eating healthily I won't nag her!

I would add: In addition with the need to exercice daily: avoid sedentarity, you can exercise daily and still be sedentary if you stay sitting 8h a day.
The problem with your trust is that there are thousands of guys just like him who are not vegetarians... So, the correlation hasn't been narrowed down yet.

Biden total cholesterol is 115 mg/dL and LDL cholesterol is 58 mg/dL. This is about half the level it should be. This is what medications do to destroy your health.
Working as a GP myself I take off my hat for this man, his attitude, his clear words, his speech and his charisma! I give information like that everyday to my patients (in 10 minutes;)) and I know they understand. But at least here in GER, where health insurance is mandatory for everyone it seems like people have given away the responsibility for their lives because they "pay insurance" to cover an unhealthy lifestyle. Giving an example: after a newly diagnosed Diabetes they listen to the, by me, recommended lifestyle changes that could prevent a lot of the upcoming consequential damages. Then I'd guess about 50% of the patients are willing to change their lifestyle, while the other 50% from the beginning on want pills and continue as usual - because they see the responsibilty for their health somewhere "outsourced" in a monthly paid insurance. Of the 50% initially trying to change their nutritional habits, about 30-40% fail after the first 1-2 years. Only around 10% (and that's an optimistic guess!) really stick to lifestyle changes, and even with initially tremendously bad laboratory results they manage to get along with no, or very very little pharmacological aid (at least in the case of Diabetes). Don't get me wrong, regarding my own lifestyle I'm surely no saint, but for ethical reasons I haven't eaten meat or fish the last 25 years, living vegan about 8 years now (not fully strict, especially when I'm invited, but I don't buy any animal products). Less of everything surely would save us alot of our "luxury" diseases.
Good information. Just one thing to wider your awareness. There is no such thing as ethical animalfood avoiding. Everything around you in nature is a live. Think about it and less brainwash, ideology or propaganda. Just think with your own head. Good luck!
I agree my issue with the NHS is they are no pro active it's not a health service it's a sickness service I asked my GP for a cholesterol test how do I know if I have high cholesterol ? They refused saying I wasn't unwell they don't do tests on demand

And I'm so happy to have 2 things in common with Dr. Scharffenberg: I was vegetarian my whole life (now vegan), and I drive a Toyota Prius. He is such an inspiring person!
@@michelle_cen Thank YOU, Michelle! Your energy is so beautiful. This gives me so much hope for the future. Yes, I decided to never eat meat again at age 4, so I had eaten a bit of meat before that, not knowing it. When I found out that certain foods were made of dead animals, I said I never wanted to eat those foods ever again. I am forever grateful for my parents to allow me to eat vegetarian, while the whole family (parents, siblings, grandparents) ate omniverous. Later my sister also became vegetarian at age 9. And now, decades later, almost the whole family eats vegan, and my mother regrets she didn't start earlier. It is thanks to internet, and people like you, Chris, Dr. John Scharffenberg, Dr. Michael Greger, and many others, that we all learn that it is not only possible to survive eating vegetarian/vegan, but that it is also the best diet to thrive!
@@TangoMasterclassCom Thank you!! You were such a prescient 4 year-old! And what an incredible dancer you are. Amazing that you helped inspire your whole family to eat vegan. Keep on spreading the good word ♥
@marcusoshea6081 we've only been domesticating animals for about 10,000 years and farming for not that much longer but we're about 2 million years old as a species. So you're not right.
True, as you have to get rid of the male "bobby calves" that are of no use to the dairy industry and cost money and space eating the grass or grain at the feed lots. Female only. As well as the cows have to go to the abattoir after their milk production goes down again to help with logistics and profits. Again why all the male chicks in the egg industry get dispatched soon after birth( have you seen those horrendous machines they grind them up alive in?) as they don't produce eggs. And they aren't suitable for meat production like the broiler chickens bred for their size, and quick growth. So yes you can't have a productive dairy industry etc, without a meat industry. This is how all farms are run in the western world.
@marcusoshea6081How would that work? How are you going to keep milk flowing without new calfs and what are you going to do with all those extra female and male calfs? Keep them and feed them until they overflow the environment? I guess that's what actually happened because nowadays they are being eaten in India, or sent off to be eaten in other countries. And making hens lay hundreds of eggs per year instead of the natural 5-10 is also mistreatment.
I am employed by a company and I have been there for a while, as the years past by, people die and out of respect for the deceased person the company will put up a Memorial with a photograph. I have noticed that out of all the people there, I have never seen an Asian individual die prematurely during their working years. There are many of them working with me and I asked them about it. They do eat meat, beef, fish, turkey, pork, chicken and they do eat a lot of vegetables, fermented or not, and different teas without sugar and on occasion alcohol. My friend is from South Korea and we have spoken about this extensively as we are now “getting up in age”. He said “ we don’t concern ourselves with living a long life, but we eat in such a way that promotes it.” His grandfather died at 104 years old, his mother and father are both in their 90’s.
Die Südkoreander bekommen z.b. durch ihr Kimchi viel Magenkrebs, wegen dem Salzgehalt. Es gibt immer wieder Ausnahmen, das auch Menschen mit Fleisch alt werden, man kann ja auch Fleisch essen 1 x die Woche . Aber Fleisch alleine ist es nicht, Öl, Zucker, Fertigprodukte usw. Japan werden auch alt, aber nicht so alt und gesund wie alte Okinawa.
I got to the point about the coworker who ate ice cream before going to sleep. He didn't just eat sugar, but milk, cream, additives and a lot of fats, especially saturated ones. We never reflect that no one eats just sugar, but combines them with something else which is often worse.
@@a6backatdohaYou trying to kill yourself off quickly? Never mind killing off animals to consume… Why? Just why when you can live to a 100 with a great plant diet - with delicious carbs and fibre.
vegetarian = fountain of youth that people have been searching for, if you can do it. My parents at 80 and don't even go to the doctors, and they're 80. It's about preventive measure instead of trying to fix it after the fact.
wrong. my grandmother is still alive, she is 101 years old and eats 1 kg of white sugar a week, bread, eggs, minced meat, dried fruit, sometimes apples. no veggie. I think vegetarianism would have killed her. I also believe that it is not sensible to attribute a secret to this doctor just because he is 100 years old
@@JICKY2.0 no such thing as wrong when it comes to the human body, it's the most complicated machine ever. The only time it's wrong is if you don't feel well, that means you're going against what you're supposed to be doing/eating.
The man is walking, talking proof of a plant-based diet's rewards. I challenge anyone to find a carnivore or Keto promoter who has reached a 100 - our even 90 -- to match his energy, sparkle and sheer joy of living.
There are far more omnivores walking around after 100 than vegans and carnivores combined... almost like a balanced diet is more optimal than either extreme 😉
I just love seeing someone born in the 1920s who still has so much energy! I’m old enough to remember when this demographic was 75-80, so for them to be 95-100 is kinda mind blowing. 1923 still going strong!💯
When he was talking about sugar and triglycerides he brought up ice cream. Ice cream usually has quite a bit of saturated fat. It seems a lot of people confuse simple table sugar with desserts. It adds more confusion to the masses.
My grandmother died just a month shy of her 98th birthday and she ate small amounts of meat, candy and ice cream. She didn't smoke or drink, and did little exercise outside of walking in her yard looking at flowers. She did eat beans, collard greens and cornbread often similar to the long lived people of Costa Rica.
Keys to longevity include maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol intake. Other factors include managing stress, getting adequate sleep, staying socially connected, and maintaining a sense of purpose. Practicing mindfulness, staying mentally active, and regular health check-ups also contribute to a longer, healthier life.
I would rather listen to a 100 year old doctor about health than a 40 year old influencer.

@@EvenSoItIsWell by saying you have lived with something for 18yrs, but wont try something that shows enormous efficacy in real time seems pointless. Why live with something just because you need to believe plants are great for you. What if they are toxic to many people as it seems? If i was in your shoes, i would take the chance that i might be wrong. Please don't misunderstand me, im trying to be respectful, but also helpful. I saw things turn around dramatically in someone i care about, and its unsettled my certainty about many things. Im watching her come alive by doings things that i thought were completely wrong. Good luck to you.
In awe of this man. Thank you.
I teach at Loma Linda University--I was curious so I checked our website. Dr. Scharffenberg is still listed as an adjunct professor.
He's on the cover of one of your recent alumni magazines. 😁
I got my nursing degree from Loma Linda in 77 and have been vegetarian and now vegan my whole life. So much easier now to be one than in my early life I would also put stress as a major risk factor
@@patrice1624meat eaters and vegetarians live longer than vegans and have the better life expectancy.
@@GarudaLegendsonly because most vegans have a very unhealthy diet with lots of sugar and carbs and processed foods. A healthy vegaan diet would be great, it's just really hard to stick to. So most vegans eat ultraprocessed foods, which are just as bad as non vegan ultra processed foods.
@@KLTer-jo9jy sugar is carbs and carbs are sugar and your body process what you eat (digestion). Vegans are around since 1940 and even the vegan founder died of hart attack.

What an absolute All-Star!
Having grown up in Montana, my father was a cowboy, so we had a lot of meat and potatoes as our staple. There was a time in the 80s when the price of meat escalated 25% in a very short time, and I decided to reduce my consumption of meat over the course of two years, then began on my quest as a vegetarian, and have been one for 40 years, and at 77, I look at least 20 years younger, am an extreme walker, meaning anually walking between 4200 to 6400 kilometers a year, whereas my car barely gets in 200 km. I buy only fresh fruits and seasonal vegetables, cook everything fresh, bake my own breads, and avoid all processed and packaged foods. I know what goes into everything I eat, including having quality control. Several of my ancestors lived to be a ripe old age, and I'm looking to do the same, enjoying life everyday.
Wow!! Great story, thank you for sharing!!
How long did your father live?
I am on a diet plan of higher protein, which is meat or fish, lower carbs, white rice, and sourdough bread.
I also look 20 to 25 years younger.
I have veggies and fruit.
Not smoking or drinking.
I grew up without fridge, so I cook all my meals fresh.
I do not use microwaves.
I have cacao drinks and green tea every day.
I am 68. I went to Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mt a year ago.
I was fine with the altitude.
I am planning to do Everest base camp next year.

This man is unfathomly based. He looks great, he looks the same age as my mum, she's 74 and very healthy. My dad who is 73 looks far older as his body is racked by lung cancer and heart disease and diabetes all self inflicted. I'm vegan and overweight and 50 this year, but I've been losing weight after a bad year last year. And as a teetotal, non smoker, who is off the sugar and oily foods my GP is pretty happy with me as long as I keep losing weight. This guy makes me happy to think I could do it, I could live to 100!
My Mom is 80, she looks good,…. and she's a prudent omnivore. Neither plant based nor animal based.
@@bonsummers2657 I would say mum is the same. She eats very little meat, mainly fish and enjoys the odd bit of cheese or scrambled eggs. But I go see her for lunch every week and she cooks amazing vegan food, and she eats a lot of veggies as part of her diet too. She also has small portions and rarely eats dessert. I'd love her to be vegan, but as long as she is mostly eating healthily I won't nag her!

@@Viva-LongevityMAGA
Thump is psycho though
@@Viva-Longevity comments like this are cheap, do better.
Working as a GP myself I take off my hat for this man, his attitude, his clear words, his speech and his charisma!
I give information like that everyday to my patients (in 10 minutes;)) and I know they understand. But at least here in GER, where health insurance is mandatory for everyone it seems like people have given away the responsibility for their lives because they "pay insurance" to cover an unhealthy lifestyle.
Giving an example: after a newly diagnosed Diabetes they listen to the, by me, recommended lifestyle changes that could prevent a lot of the upcoming consequential damages. Then I'd guess about 50% of the patients are willing to change their lifestyle, while the other 50% from the beginning on want pills and continue as usual - because they see the responsibilty for their health somewhere "outsourced" in a monthly paid insurance. Of the 50% initially trying to change their nutritional habits, about 30-40% fail after the first 1-2 years.
Only around 10% (and that's an optimistic guess!) really stick to lifestyle changes, and even with initially tremendously bad laboratory results they manage to get along with no, or very very little pharmacological aid (at least in the case of Diabetes).
Don't get me wrong, regarding my own lifestyle I'm surely no saint, but for ethical reasons I haven't eaten meat or fish the last 25 years, living vegan about 8 years now (not fully strict, especially when I'm invited, but I don't buy any animal products).
Less of everything surely would save us alot of our "luxury" diseases.
Fascinating! Thanks so much for such an informative post. 🙏
Good information.
Just one thing to wider your awareness. There is no such thing as ethical animalfood avoiding.
Everything around you in nature is a live. Think about it and less brainwash, ideology or propaganda. Just think with your own head.
Good luck!
I'm wondering how you feel about the way chickens and pigs are raised on modern farms.
@@Viva-Longevitysure, thats not good or proper way.
But same for tomatos who only eat nutrition liquid :)
I agree my issue with the NHS is they are no pro active it's not a health service it's a sickness service I asked my GP for a cholesterol test how do I know if I have high cholesterol ? They refused saying I wasn't unwell they don't do tests on demand

@@michelle_cen Thank YOU, Michelle! Your energy is so beautiful. This gives me so much hope for the future. Yes, I decided to never eat meat again at age 4, so I had eaten a bit of meat before that, not knowing it. When I found out that certain foods were made of dead animals, I said I never wanted to eat those foods ever again. I am forever grateful for my parents to allow me to eat vegetarian, while the whole family (parents, siblings, grandparents) ate omniverous. Later my sister also became vegetarian at age 9. And now, decades later, almost the whole family eats vegan, and my mother regrets she didn't start earlier. It is thanks to internet, and people like you, Chris, Dr. John Scharffenberg, Dr. Michael Greger, and many others, that we all learn that it is not only possible to survive eating vegetarian/vegan, but that it is also the best diet to thrive!
@@TangoMasterclassCom Thank you!! You were such a prescient 4 year-old! And what an incredible dancer you are. Amazing that you helped inspire your whole family to eat vegan. Keep on spreading the good word ♥

A vegetarian world is a meat world. There is no dairy and eggs without the meat industry.
That's right but at least he is leading people in the right direction. Often times, we say a pure vegetarian diet to refer to a vegan diet.
@marcusoshea6081 You know that India is the largest beef exporter in the world right? India is the land of hypocrites.
@marcusoshea6081 we've only been domesticating animals for about 10,000 years and farming for not that much longer but we're about 2 million years old as a species. So you're not right.
True, as you have to get rid of the male "bobby calves" that are of no use to the dairy industry and cost money and space eating the grass or grain at the feed lots. Female only. As well as the cows have to go to the abattoir after their milk production goes down again to help with logistics and profits. Again why all the male chicks in the egg industry get dispatched soon after birth( have you seen those horrendous machines they grind them up alive in?) as they don't produce eggs. And they aren't suitable for meat production like the broiler chickens bred for their size, and quick growth. So yes you can't have a productive dairy industry etc, without a meat industry. This is how all farms are run in the western world.
@marcusoshea6081How would that work? How are you going to keep milk flowing without new calfs and what are you going to do with all those extra female and male calfs? Keep them and feed them until they overflow the environment? I guess that's what actually happened because nowadays they are being eaten in India, or sent off to be eaten in other countries. And making hens lay hundreds of eggs per year instead of the natural 5-10 is also mistreatment.
Thank you very much Doctor for sharing your wonderful life experience with us. May all be happy

Love this doctor. Should follow his advise.
I am employed by a company and I have been there for a while, as the years past by, people die and out of respect for the deceased person the company will put up a Memorial with a photograph.
I have noticed that out of all the people there, I have never seen an Asian individual die prematurely during their working years. There are many of them working with me and I asked them about it. They do eat meat, beef, fish, turkey, pork, chicken and they do eat a lot of vegetables, fermented or not, and different teas without sugar and on occasion alcohol.
My friend is from South Korea and we have spoken about this extensively as we are now “getting up in age”. He said “ we don’t concern ourselves with living a long life, but we eat in such a way that promotes it.”
His grandfather died at 104 years old, his mother and father are both in their 90’s.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing your experience.
meat is excellent
Die Südkoreander bekommen z.b. durch ihr Kimchi viel Magenkrebs, wegen dem Salzgehalt. Es gibt immer wieder Ausnahmen, das auch Menschen mit Fleisch alt werden, man kann ja auch Fleisch essen 1 x die Woche . Aber Fleisch alleine ist es nicht, Öl, Zucker, Fertigprodukte usw. Japan werden auch alt, aber nicht so alt und gesund wie alte Okinawa.
Omg. You are amazing God bless you for showing us all how to live a long life and what to eat Xxx❤

I got to the point about the coworker who ate ice cream before going to sleep. He didn't just eat sugar, but milk, cream, additives and a lot of fats, especially saturated ones. We never reflect that no one eats just sugar, but combines them with something else which is often worse.

vegetarian = fountain of youth that people have been searching for, if you can do it. My parents at 80 and don't even go to the doctors, and they're 80. It's about preventive measure instead of trying to fix it after the fact.
wrong. my grandmother is still alive, she is 101 years old and eats 1 kg of white sugar a week, bread, eggs, minced meat, dried fruit, sometimes apples. no veggie. I think vegetarianism would have killed her.
I also believe that it is not sensible to attribute a secret to this doctor just because he is 100 years old
@@JICKY2.0 no such thing as wrong when it comes to the human body, it's the most complicated machine ever. The only time it's wrong is if you don't feel well, that means you're going against what you're supposed to be doing/eating.
The man is walking, talking proof of a plant-based diet's rewards. I challenge anyone to find a carnivore or Keto promoter who has reached a 100 - our even 90 -- to match his energy, sparkle and sheer joy of living.

When he was talking about sugar and triglycerides he brought up ice cream. Ice cream usually has quite a bit of saturated fat. It seems a lot of people confuse simple table sugar with desserts. It adds more confusion to the masses.
Yeah, I thought that it was an obvious oversight on his part.
In fact, others have noticed this too, but of course it's overlooked.
@@a6backatdoha no one eats an only saturated fat diet. What are you talking about?
My grandmother died just a month shy of her 98th birthday and she ate small amounts of meat, candy and ice cream. She didn't smoke or drink, and did little exercise outside of walking in her yard looking at flowers. She did eat beans, collard greens and cornbread often similar to the long lived people of Costa Rica.
