1. Lives include physical activity. Walk. Garden. 2. Downshift - slow down for 15 minutes per day. 3. Sense of purpose. 4. Don’t overeat. 5. Faith -based community.
January 2, 2014. This message from you was one of the best New Year's gifts to be given to anyone! So many myths debunked. Yes we have our genetic limits but also, it is the "quality of live lived" that makes the greatest impact whether in Sardinia or Okinawa or Loma Linda! You are so right that it is lifestyle habits and appreciation of Nature and being calm and enjoying every little thing Nature has to offer, that promotes longevity. I agree with you 100% that our immune systems are what keep things going and if these are damaged, we become sick and our life spans are shortened. I only hope that with science we can learn more how our immune systems work and keep them in top shape. If only people would hear your talk and LISTEN to what you are saying, they would live longer! That is the take home message! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. Best wishes, Malcolm
You forgot,they pray and they are good people,they don't regret working long hours,walking long hours,and they care for their old people,in so they will be taken care when they grow old also,yes thy are good friends to each other, they have close family ties,that makes them have a happy and longer life.
I cant like this enough. I come back every half a year or so to rewatch it. And every time i discover something new or something I´ve learned that was already in this video all along, I just understand it better now.
i swear i've had to watch this ted talk for like 5 different homework assignments. teachers, you did not strike gold that you need to spread with your younglings, we've seen it
Im currently doing home work on this and I have written full 10 pages of notes... my body and mind hurts. SO the stuff that they have said in this video.
This is the single greatest Ted Talk that exists. This should be a requirement for EVERYONE to see. We can't just keep pretending we're sad and grieving the loss of people who have chronic illness knowing there are SO many prevention factors that we minimize or make fun of when we're young. Think about health now, make it a lifestyle, and you will have not just longevity but greater QUALITY of life!
I wish I was born in one of the 'old world' cultures. I absolutely hate modern society and wish I lived in like a small Sicilian town with a simple job and great food, wine, scenery and lifestyle
I grew up in Riverside near Loma Linda and shopped in the 7th Day Adventist shops. I was the healthiest athlete (before leaving for college)! I'm now on a program with Mary-Ann Shearer to get my health back on a whole foods plant based diet . . .
great talk. very informative. I would like to add that Mel Gibson's dad did get a Mesenchymal stem cell transfusion when he was on deaths door in his early 90's and is now still living at 100 with better eye sight. This is because he got injected with day one cells that have the capacity to divide like a 12 year old child. This is probably the only treatment that can slow or reverse aging. When combining this with a life style that is mostly plant based and also having healthy social structures and a reason to get up in the morning I believe it can be great
Excellent topic. "The time will come when meat will no longer be eaten. Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground. The people will gradually develop up to the condition of this natural food." ~ 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahai Faith
Great presentation and research project - it couldn’t be more important! I’m just about done reading the Blue Zones book Dan wrote, and it’s fantastic + super interesting…
I am programmed to want to be alone, own a house, enjoy my rest, enjoy my human experience....in my own house, terms, property, wealth, health, youth....
A lot of people have been taught that in the west and they think its their own thoughts. It's called materialism. It doesn't come naturally, kids don't behave like that. And that's why westerns are generally miserable.
@Depressed Cloud exactly. History... We are not living in the past. There are some people that like being alone. There is nothing wrong with this and there is no need to analyse further into someones psyche like the other dude that commented did
Wow, Dan Buettner, great great work! Let me add here that in the newest edition of his book, they also surveyed IKARIA, the Greek island with most centenarians.
Дякую за це відео, до минулого року, я не знала, що можу розуміти білоруську мову, а також білоруси розуміють нас. Бажаю вам, білоруси очиститися від московитського засилля, відновити свою мову та культуру! А щодо пана Снайдера, то він дещо спотворює українську історію також.

Wonderful, thank you 🩵 On my recent visit to Japan. I also thought that the hot springs and getting in and out of freezing water into hot water had a lot to do with bringing down the stress. As well as the community involved in visiting these places.
Thanks a lot. I agree. I just say it's ALOT, a big number. Trillions anyway, which is why people can abuse their bodies for many years without serious consequences. The body is amazingly resilient. I think what we put into it has a massive effect on our cellular health and how we feel and ultimately how long we may live. What are you studying ?
+anne999 It's not so much the plant placed diet as much as what they don't eat, commercial refined carbs and sugars... there is no right thing for all people, everyone's body is different to some agree, and there are people who lived into their hundreds, like my grandmother, who lived to be 103 in good health, sharp mind and no medications and she ate just about everything, we are of Sicilian background, it's where she was born, but she moved here young while pregnant with my dad. Her mom lived to be 99. In reference to 7th Day Adventists what is key with them is no pork, and no shellfish..have you ever studied the people of Hunza Valley??
The myth about the Hunza Valley was actually debunked, or at least the age of those people can't actually be officially verified. No pork? Altough the other 4 Blue Zones don't eat much meat, when they do it's usually pork. It's the most frequent meat in all Blue Zones, except the 7th Day Adventists. Shellfish is eaten in Ikaria too. And if you look at the Village of Acciaroli in Italy (where there is a HUGE number of centenarians too (google about it), they eat shellfish with some regularity.
I don't care about living 100+ years. To look and stay young and fresh should be the priority. What use does longevity and money have, if you look old and used?
You can have more life experiences, though. Sure, you will probably experience your loved ones dying left and right throughout your lifetime, but at the same time, you can contribute to society and experience a lot of life events in your life. I do agree, though, that longevity shouldn't be the main focus - since you don't know when you'll die - but to live a healthy life.
A good talk, and Buettner's surveys of the Blue Zones are corroborated by evidence from the peer-reviewed medical literature, which is consistent in finding that a mostly or fully plant-based diet rich in healthy sources of protein such as legumes/beans and nuts is beneficial for health.
Then you have Dr's like Gundry saying that legumes are full of lectins which are harmful. So much variation in the truth from one medical professional to another.
Thanks, yeah it's something I see crop up again and again with regards to the exact number of cells. In this presentation I have to say I've never heard the amount be so low as 35 trillion. Anyway, we have lots of cells and I wonder how they count them ? :-D
His comment in knees also caught me. Many people don't try to establish a run routine or exercise because of bad knees believing that it will worsen their condition. Recent studies suggest that running may actually improve knee health.
Dr Brad Wilcox has stated when it comes to okinawans that they have built up some sort of resiliance against things in life that are hard or even horrible. How does one gain that kind of resiliance? Any advice?
I ran avross Gallup's well-being index. Not the perfect study but it seemed to be instructive. It seems to be aa combination of culture, low density and clean foods. Could glyphosate, chemtrails, overeating, chemtrails, Wifi, stress, being enslaved to corporations and pasteurized, GMO foods possibly top pharmaceutical and OTC drug consumption for making us ill. Oh yes, maybe replacing Facebook and Instragram with nature walks with friends. Or I can just follow these lectures. LOL
I found the Netflix documentary very light on hard data and lacked any depth. It even failed to mention other things that the centurions do or dont do, such as how much television do they watch per day? Do they ever eat ultra processed foods? Do they eat any desserts and how often? What jobs did they have when they were younger? Do they smoke? Do they drink? How much sunshine are they exposed to? etc. The documentary was also biased regarding vegetarianism. Many claim that meat is actually a large part of all the diets, with rhe exception of the community in the US.
As someone who deals with statistics daily, I cant help but see all of the assumptions made to end up with this conclusion. This kind of study is not exclusive to all foods, and will not tell you what foods make you live longer. It tells you about "some" foods and combinations of diets that have made people live longer. There is no way of knowing if these centenarians would have extended or reduced their lifespan if they ate beef liver, for example. Moreover, it kind of ignores genetic heritage, hereditary microbiomes, and assumes that the lack of meat is a reason why they lived longer without any causal evidence. The study is correlation based, not causation based, and focuses on groups and cultures, which means the possibility of hereditary causes are present. Most centenarians didnt eat meat because meat was not easily attainable - not because they thought it was unhealthy and wanted to live long. A topic like longevity involves literally trillions of variables, and because it takes 100 years and hudreds of samples to run a test, its virtually impossible to say that the Bluezones diet is "the best" way to live long. The biggest drawback is that 100 years ago, food was scarce in most parts of the world. People didnt have a choice in what to eat, so the chances of potentially different diets showing up as bluezones is low. I dont discount the study's value, but i think we should still learn about foods based on their effects on our bodies seperately, rather than disregard anything that the Bluezones didnt eat like its some kind of rule. In 100 more years, with our modern age and abundance of foods, we might see radically different diets showing up as new Bluezones. And i think if you collected data based on everyone who lived longer than 100 years "without" looking for bluezones, you might get different results since the chances of hereditary interference would be lower
The China Study was the largest study examining diet its correlations with disease and this study was scientifically compelling showing a largely whole food plant based diet was linked to less disease. Correlative studies are what we have for large populations over a lifetime we can’t put people in a lab for their lifetimes
In Sardinia we eat a lot of dairy, milk for breakfast, cheese at least once per day, cured meat, pork and sheep, vegetables, carbohydrates and a lot of pasta, with one glass of wine per meal. None of the centenarians in Sardinia is vegan, and they will ask you if you have any kind of issue and get offended if you do not eat meat. For sure they walk a lot and community support and respect old people. And I'm from the town in the world with the higher number of centenarians. My uncle died with 102 y.o. and he used to eat pork far every day for dinner. The main difference is that meat and plants arei grown by themselves, there are not even supermarkets in the town. Check yourself, take a trip to Seulo, Sardinia.
@@mer1tiki There's no proof vegan diet is dangerous. Just throw in some nutritional yeast and you should be good to go. Look at Great Britain during the war. 14 years of rations and very little food at all, much less dairy or meat. Suddenly, way fewer heart attacks and strokes. Look into 1940s House, it's a documentary on how people actually ate and lived. Library should have it.
Genesis 1:29-30 (v29) "Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. (v30) And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food.” And it was so."
When he said isolation kills that broke my heart, thinking of all the elderly ppl we put in homes and our often forgotten. I think its very important to care for our parents and grandparents when they get to that age.
Yes very true ‘ our parents looked after us as babies when we couldn’t really do much either !

Many claim that meat is actually a large part of all the diets, with rhe exception of the community in the US.
Perfection
This video will become valuble as i age haha..
What, no mention of Statins or BP drugs. Why? Is wine better than doctor force fed drugs?
Where is Costa Rica?
9:07 He wrongly flipped the percentage and said 20%, it should be to stop eating when you are 80% full.
133! is a mathematical expression. I was just trying to be funny by implying that you meant the 133rd factorial, which is significantly more than 133.
He said Framingham. That’s my Town !!
As someone who deals with statistics daily, I cant help but see all of the assumptions made to end up with this conclusion. This kind of study is not exclusive to all foods, and will not tell you what foods make you live longer. It tells you about "some" foods and combinations of diets that have made people live longer. There is no way of knowing if these centenarians would have extended or reduced their lifespan if they ate beef liver, for example. Moreover, it kind of ignores genetic heritage, hereditary microbiomes, and assumes that the lack of meat is a reason why they lived longer without any causal evidence. The study is correlation based, not causation based, and focuses on groups and cultures, which means the possibility of hereditary causes are present. Most centenarians didnt eat meat because meat was not easily attainable - not because they thought it was unhealthy and wanted to live long. A topic like longevity involves literally trillions of variables, and because it takes 100 years and hudreds of samples to run a test, its virtually impossible to say that the Bluezones diet is "the best" way to live long. The biggest drawback is that 100 years ago, food was scarce in most parts of the world. People didnt have a choice in what to eat, so the chances of potentially different diets showing up as bluezones is low. I dont discount the study's value, but i think we should still learn about foods based on their effects on our bodies seperately, rather than disregard anything that the Bluezones didnt eat like its some kind of rule. In 100 more years, with our modern age and abundance of foods, we might see radically different diets showing up as new Bluezones. And i think if you collected data based on everyone who lived longer than 100 years "without" looking for bluezones, you might get different results since the chances of hereditary interference would be lower
The China Study was the largest study examining diet its correlations with disease and this study was scientifically compelling showing a largely whole food plant based diet was linked to less disease. Correlative studies are what we have for large populations over a lifetime we can’t put people in a lab for their lifetimes

In Sardinia we eat a lot of dairy, milk for breakfast, cheese at least once per day, cured meat, pork and sheep, vegetables, carbohydrates and a lot of pasta, with one glass of wine per meal. None of the centenarians in Sardinia is vegan, and they will ask you if you have any kind of issue and get offended if you do not eat meat. For sure they walk a lot and community support and respect old people. And I'm from the town in the world with the higher number of centenarians. My uncle died with 102 y.o. and he used to eat pork far every day for dinner. The main difference is that meat and plants arei grown by themselves, there are not even supermarkets in the town. Check yourself, take a trip to Seulo, Sardinia.
narashivaya, thanks for your comment. Vegans are so notorious for lying to push their dangerous diet and agenda.
He said the Blue Zone in Sardinia is a specific isolated region, not the whole island.
@@mer1tiki There's no proof vegan diet is dangerous. Just throw in some nutritional yeast and you should be good to go.
Look at Great Britain during the war. 14 years of rations and very little food at all, much less dairy or meat. Suddenly, way fewer heart attacks and strokes. Look into 1940s House, it's a documentary on how people actually ate and lived. Library should have it.
@@mer1tiki lol
Sounds like the traditional American diet and that’s working real good for us
Ima need some major citations for a lot of this.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Genesis 1:29-30 (v29) "Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. (v30) And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food.” And it was so."
all those people wanna live past age 100 ? wow amazing tbh wow
You'll notice that a lot of people who ARE 100 wonder why they're still here and don't do anything...kind of pointless by then.
