Both my parents died from cancer before the age of 65. Knowing I have a good chance of avoiding that fate by making healthy choices is empowering and comforting.
Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based. Go vegan for the animals. Go vegan for the planet. Go vegan and be healthier and happier. A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals. Eating healthy is not a diet it is a healthy life style. Go out and look around. The vast majority of people you see are obese or al least over weight. People do not need to be fat shamed BUT being over weight is not healthy and leads to a host of illnesses. When you look around you can see all the unhealthy people without taking a blood test or a fitness test "NORMAL" for the average American is "UNHEALTHY" The health of society is in decline.
I’m an ethical vegan too. I’m vegan for the animals. That was my biggest motivation. I watched the movie “Dominion”. It had a big impact on me. When you know you know, and I can’t ever justify that suffering because of my own selfish desires for pleasure. Becoming vegan for animals motivated me to become wfpb for my health and to fight global warming.
Would like Dr. G to address how the opposite of telomere attrition, long telomeres, are now being shown to be associated with cancer due to all that cell longevity that gets mutated again and again.
I am a double Apoe4 carrier (36 year old) Is it not too simple to just say the main problem is cholesterol? As far as I know we also produce more neurotoxic compounds with age and the blood brain barrier declines earlier.
Well, once again, you have pointed out a lot of correlations in various studies. But I always try to remember that correlations do not necessarily mean causation.😊
The only critique I have of these great videos is that they don’t begin with the date of recording. This would give the listeners an idea of how current 2:31 the data and evidence being presented is. Thanks so much for creating these videos.
I was very surprised to see a number of centenarian veterans traveling and attending the D-day ceremonies in France, a couple interviewed still working as a choice choice.
Dr. Gregor, would you tell us about use of Lithium Orotate? I recently found out about it a little bit. I started to take it and it helped me stay focused on my diet. It the past I was never successful up until now. I wonder why more people do not know about it.
The longevity genetic is the mutation where people have naturally low LDL cholesterol as they genetically cannot absorb any cholesterol from the diet, and don’t have the negative impacts from smoking. Lifelong LDL is the biggest indicator of longevity, these people, no matter what if they smoked, or eat crap, because their body had naturally low LDL. They lived extremely long and were healthy eat a low-fat diet if you want to have low lifelong LDL levels, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
A 2010 study on Korean centenarians with almost no access to synthetic vitamins, supplements or fortified foods had a typical LDL cholesterol level of about 110 mg/dL, the lowest was 90 and the highest about 145 and this is typical for all other cultures around the globe so since you provided no studies to back your claim you are wrong about LDL cholesterol levels as there are no long lived healthy populations or cultures that have low LDL cholesterol levels.
I hope so, my great grandmother lived to 101. She always finished her left overs and ate a grapefruit every morning. On her deathbed she would wake up and say, “oh, I’m still here”. She was ready to join her lord and savior in heaven with her family and friends🥹
There are really cases where someone get a ton of abuse in his/her body and still live long enough were rarer than we think. But the healthy diet and lifestyle are proven in helping people to extend their lives beyond their supposedly age limit. It would be better to do that way since most of us aren't gifted with that kind of genetics.
I don't think genetics hv anything to do with long life. Long life is given by GOD based upon our relationship with Him. Proverbs 9:10-11 say...The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 11) For by ME ur day's shall be multiplied, and the years of ur life shall be increased.

My main reason is moral. I find eating animal products unethical.
Who decides what's ethical and what's not?
Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based.
Go vegan for the animals. Go vegan for the planet. Go vegan and be healthier and happier.
A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals.

@@KJSvitko I think you're right, but my question was who gets to decide what's ethical and what's not?
@@catlyn777 I watched Terminator and now I think killing robots is not only ethical, but everyone's duty.

I was really hoping we wouldn’t have to talk about religion here…just science and health!
@@ellenled Right?

Nigerians prove a diet very low in saturated fat is still the preventative cure for the risk of shortened lifespan.
@@catlyn777 The video from June 7 said the diet is high in saturated fat from palm oil.
Based. Longevity. Video.

You’re my favorite, Dr. Greger!❤
Not sure what makes this a podcast but it was a good video, thanks.
Fascinating.

We all have an expiration date.
Does blue cheese have an expiration date?
@@Jeffs60 that it does

If my partner has an influence I’m screwed 😑 good thing I’m a fighter :)
My stepfather ate garbage, drank heavily, obesity, diabetes, cancer in his 60s, the whole deal. Died age 99. His mother hit 106. Mostly genetic.

Wow, he could have at least 10 more if he had taken care of himself. Amazing.
"Mostly genetic."
LOL. It's fate. Every creature has a time of death, so being healthy or unhealthy doesn't matter.

Stop, this is stupid.
Yahweh is ugly.
Fiction enjoyer, huh? 😏
He just told you centenarian offspring live much longer than most of us. It mostly is genetics.
Dr. Greger isn't referring to moral or spiritual issues, but to purely physical factors for longevity.
