  • In this episode of TechKnow, we explore the regions where people enjoy a longer life of good health, regions known as Blue zones.
    Acciaroli is one such region. It is part of what is known as the Cilento Coast of Italy, situated 140 km south of Naples. It has a high concentration of centenarians living there.
    According to researchers from Rome's Sapienza University and the University of California, San Diego, one in every 60 of its residents is at least 90 years old.
    This Mediterranean region has become known for good health supplemented by diet rich in fresh produce, pasta, olive oil, and rosemary.

    This is the kind of life I'm looking for. Laid back, free from stress, being able to grow my food and cultivate my garden and enjoy fresh and organic food. Meeting and greeting friendly neighbors and has closed bond relationship with the family in a beautiful, fresh, and clean environment. This is a little paradise on earth.

      I don't think they were saying that their lives were free from stress, they did go through two world wars after all. It seems that they dealt with their stress better than we do with the stresses of the modern world. Perhaps they didn't have the same expectations of an easy life that we have grown up with?

    It is so obvious to me why these people grow older. The fabric of their culture has not been ripped apart by modernism. They want to hold on as long as possible because it offers them the opportunity to see their great grandchildren grow old. It is obvious the family bonds are still intact and old people are revered elders.

      Sorry but what you said it’s not exactly, in fact the main reason of longevity is based on genetic. Secondly even the non-modernity as you mentioned actually is not correct because close family and friendship ties, plenty of sunshine which don’t concern non- modernity (in general the Italian life-style demonstrated by science) are some of the reasons of Italian’s longevity.

      @Adam A. A MAN thought to be Russia's oldest person has died at the age of 122, authorities in the North Caucasus region of Dagestan said.
      Magomed Labazanov, a retired labourer who lived in Serebryakovka village close to the city of Kizlyar, died early Friday, the local government said on its website.
      Labazanov was reportedly born in Dagestan and worked in a sawmill and later on a farm. He never learned to read and write.
      The date of his birth has not been authenticated as he did not have an original birth certificate.
      According to the Guinness World Records, the oldest person in the world is Besse Cooper of the United States, who turned 116 last month.
      The mountainous North Caucasus is famed for its long-lived elders, although the turmoil of the Soviet era means that many do not have documents proving their age.
      Labazanov was one of the thousands of people in North Caucasus republics who were uprooted during World War II on Stalin's orders and deported to Central Asia, returning only in the 1950s.
      Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda said he attributed his long life to a simple diet of corn bread, whey, fruits and vegetables. Hi did not drink alcohol or smoke, it said.
      Labazanov celebrated his 122nd birthday on May 1, according to local media..................................................................................................now other then corn bread, he didnt eat much grain, other articles he says he ate occasional sheep's milk, local meats, poultry, fresh vegetables and fresh spring water...remember though europe has highest life expectancy and highest production and access to organic foods

All of their children, including my father who is still alive at 94, lived close to 100. Their first language was Italian. My grandparents were born in Italy, we have relatives in that region.

They walk and move everyday, they ate natural foods and during the wars they struggled. That made them stronger. If you notice the other women with the old woman are all fat. Because now the culture is different. They eat a lot of meat and pasta now. Before they had just bread, vegetables, some egg and a little dairy organic product. Few meat from their land but not always; very little for almost 3/4 of their life. They eat very early at night and sometimes soups that give the digestion good rest.

    They aren't stressed like the younger generation in Italy because they have a pension and have owned their houses for several generations. They were in their 20's during the second World War so I think that they have had 70 years to get past the psychological trauma of that war. The younger more anxious generation that they mentioned in the end live in a more globalized and competitive world. In order to stand on their own two feet they have to move to the bigger cities (Sassari, Oristano, Cagliari,Rome, Milan etc) to hustle and find work. Hustle = more stress. As the mentioned, the environment isn't saturated with massive environmentaly destructive industries however, because there isn't a big industrial footprint there aren't that many young people walking around. No industry=organic food and lots of long living old folks however it also= not enough jobs for the younger generations= low birthrate for the region= problems in the future.

      A MAN thought to be Russia's oldest person has died at the age of 122, authorities in the North Caucasus region of Dagestan said.
      Magomed Labazanov, a retired labourer who lived in Serebryakovka village close to the city of Kizlyar, died early Friday, the local government said on its website.
      Labazanov was reportedly born in Dagestan and worked in a sawmill and later on a farm. He never learned to read and write.
      The date of his birth has not been authenticated as he did not have an original birth certificate.
      According to the Guinness World Records, the oldest person in the world is Besse Cooper of the United States, who turned 116 last month.
      The mountainous North Caucasus is famed for its long-lived elders, although the turmoil of the Soviet era means that many do not have documents proving their age.
      Labazanov was one of the thousands of people in North Caucasus republics who were uprooted during World War II on Stalin's orders and deported to Central Asia, returning only in the 1950s.
      Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda said he attributed his long life to a simple diet of corn bread, whey, fruits and vegetables. Hi did not drink alcohol or smoke, it said.
      Labazanov celebrated his 122nd birthday on May 1, according to local media..................................................................................................now other then corn bread, he didnt eat much grain, other articles he says he ate occasional sheep's milk, local meats, poultry, fresh vegetables and fresh spring water...remember though europe has highest life expectancy and highest production and access to organic foods
      . im getting more interested in insect nutrition insects are the most nutrient dense foods even more then seafoods or kelp, seavegtables....crickets can have u to 32 percent protein, 3 to 4 times the daily intake of most major vitamins and 2 to 3 x the intake some minerals, as well as providing 12 x the amount of B vitamins of beef or 20 that of eggs and chicken etc.. earthworms are 82 percent protein, provide omega 3 and some essential nutrients also frying them in sunflower oil, they can taste similar bacon

    Magomed Labazanov, a retired labourer who lived in Serebryakovka village close to the city of Kizlyar, died early Friday, the local government said on its website.
    Labazanov was reportedly born in Dagestan and worked in a sawmill and later on a farm. He never learned to read and write.
    The mountainous North Caucasus is famed for its long-lived elders, although the turmoil of the Soviet era means that many do not have documents proving their age.
    Labazanov was one of the thousands of people in North Caucasus republics who were uprooted during World War II on Stalin's orders and deported to Central Asia, returning only in the 1950s.
    Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda said he attributed his long life to a simple diet of corn bread, whey, fruits and vegetables. Hi did not drink alcohol or smoke, it said.
    Labazanov celebrated his 122nd birthday on May 1, according to local media..................................................................................................now other then corn bread, he didnt eat much grain, other articles he says he ate occasional sheep's milk, local meats, poultry, fresh vegetables and fresh spring water...remember though europe has highest life expectancy and highest production and access to organic foods
    . im getting more interested in insect nutrition insects are the most nutrient dense foods even more then seafoods or kelp, seavegtables....crickets can have u to 32 percent protein, 3 to 4 times the daily intake of most major vitamins and 2 to 3 x the intake some minerals, as well as providing 12 x the amount of B vitamins of beef or 20 that of eggs and chicken etc.. earthworms are 82 percent protein, provide omega 3 and some essential nutrients also frying them in sunflower oil, they can taste similar bacon
    north american meat is gmo, antibiotics, growth horomes added, factory farmed and mostly feed grains with no grass or pastures to graze on

    How about taking into account their overall quality of life? Are they stressed? The other thing to consider is strong community which provides a safety net, so to speak, they are not alienated like a large number of elderly individuals are in other countries. Also check the chemistry of the soil, this may give a clue- micronutrients.
