Anyone watching this, my family is from Sardinia. Most still live there. We do not eat meat and those that do don't eat much of it. Mainly it would be seafood (fish) all of our food is grown organically.
Actually, the natives of Ikaria, (spelling edit) the longest lived in the Mediterranean, go to bed at about midnight. Not with the sun, as in Gundry's story. Greens make up the largest proportion of their diet. However, they eat only about 1-2% grain products, and only about 10% fish and/or meat. The next major food group after their staple greens is "other" vegetables, followed by potatoes, and beans and fruits. They also like red wine, and a little white wine. They eat a very little goats cheese, and some yoghurt. Everything is cooked in olive oil.
When looking for patterns: knowing what they’re not is also interesting.The most obvious one is none eat processed foods. None are exposed to high-technological environments.
why is that any american obsessed with longevity has to associate longevity with what you eat or do not eat? its not all about food!!! there are many other factors contributing to this!!
Food is often one of the factors we can most easily control, and that control is exerted on a daily basis. What do we do with our choices? Day to day decisions matter.
I agree. One other thing that seldom gets examined is how many calories Blue Zone people eat. I would love to find some research on that aspect. One hears quite often how reducing caloric intake slows metabolism. Well, there is ample research that shows that when we slow our metabolism, we also slow the aging process. This has me intrigued and I am currently searching to see if there is a link.
"The Blue Zones" book goes into this. There are multiple factors they found that combine for this effect. For example.. purpose, family, and connection to nature. You are right. It's many factors they have found in these cultures.
Canada..... theres 3 a's...and ends in a.....nova scotia, British Columbia and Alberta.....i think nova scotia and Alberta has the most centenarians per capita
very interesting, I think the waters are soon if not already going to be not worth getting those nutrients from and we should find other means, even in the Mediterranean places I'm seeing quite a bit of fish as well, Icaria for example which is closer to pescatarian so it seems.
So the Sardinian folks have auto-immune issues from eating the wheat I’m not surprised I have Italian heritage, and I feel like I am very sensitive to grains. I feel better when I don’t eat them
His information is outdated. Okinawans ate mostly purple sweet potatoes after the war when their livestock had been lost, but before then (and as soon as they could after the war), they ate lots and lots of pork. Fish is of course also very popular. Pork and fish are common to most of the "blue zones" (but I wouldn't trust that label, it's been trademarked and bought for 78 million dollars by a group with specific financial interests). The place with the highest life expectancy in the world is Hong Kong. How's their meat consumption per capita? It's also the highest in the world, they more than twice as much of it as the USA. And they eat huge amounts of animal products on top.
Dr Gundry Big fan I read unlocking the keto code your new edition Where does longevity land after that that was all about breaking down the cells And getting healthy Not eating to much protein and giving your body a chance to recover by fasting so back to longevity still polyphenols because we're talking about cheese and MCT oil and unlocking the keto code leaning towards cheese are we back to polyphenols for longevity or fermented foods like cheese Or does cheese have blockers like other Fermented drinks Is it polyphenols or is it the fermentation that's given the blocker Wine, Cheese MCTs and olive oil..for longevity?
With the cheese some are more fermented then others, with the olive oil only specific ones I think would have a better fermented aspect the ones that are less filtered and have more olive leaf and pieces in it, I didn't know mct oil was ferm. Very interesting, wine is about 50 50 both those things being healthy in it. But you want a " natural" wine otherwise upwards of a 100 additives.
@@DUES_EX beef and pork is the worst meat.....lamb and goat are good, sea food, some nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits, lots of berries and greens...avoid or cut back on dairy and all grains
I think that's the new age Mediterranean diet you are referring to that eats a lot of meat. The traditional Mediterranean diet is eaten more within a smaller population of people now (shrinking more and more no doubt). I think this traditional diet has much less animal products just like all the rest of the blue zones. There are differences of diet within each of the blue zones depending on where the people live. Like for example in Sardinia, some people who live up a mountain are consuming goat milk and thriving, while the Sardinian's at the bottom of the mountain are doing cow milk and aren't doing as well.
@AquariusManASMR I am referring to how my great grand parents, grandparents, parents were / are eating they all reached 98 smoking 🚬 like trains and walking like infantry soldiers 🤣
I second that it does not have a lot of animal products in the diet. Animal product foods are eaten occasionally or sparingly, not regularly. I'm Italian, traditional italian meals are mostly vegetarian.
@@JohnnyWalkerBlack142 The "Mediterranean diet" doesn't exist. Some researchers loved the idea that people in that area lived longer because of their diet, but when they went to record what it was, they quickly discovered that there was very little in common between countries when it came to diet. So they basically made up a new diet that mostly matched existing beliefs on nutrition, and added olive oil. Olive oil companies started to organize nutrition "conventions" (which were basically just luxury vacations in Italy) and researchers and journalists kept being treated to these luxury vacations as long as they kept pushing olive oil.
Wow, that's a shaky idea behind the story. 😮 Do you have any sources to show this? I'm really trying to get behind the truth of these Blue Zones... Thanks.
Predators are carnivores and have completely different digestive systems than humans. Predators dont develop heart disease because they are biologically created to consume large amounts of fat and protein. Humans are not carnivores. Any species that is meant to be a primarily plant consuming species, will develop heart disease from excess fat. Please pick up a book on biology and taxonomy. From first hand experience, I almost died from gallbladder disease in my 20s and drastically reversed the disease on a low fat vegan diet. I went from hospitalized to feeling normal in a WEEK.
@@EstellaLynn That's your body, not mine or someone else's. Check out Paul Saladino and his work and studies on the Carnivore diet. Loads of people curing diseases while on an animal based diet. I'm not saying you should too, but it seems like all these studies are missing out on something.

Of all the health gurus out there, Dr. Steven Gundry looks by far the unhealthiest.
You obviously don't know what health looks like. Gundry still has his hair among other things.
@@laveniashaw5604 He wears glasses, he looks overweight, and he looks inflamed and congested.
For being more than 80 years old I think he looks great
Credit to Dan Buettner!!! The father of all of this.
I'd rather die young without Adventists.
None of the 100yr olds take your pills Dr. Gundry. Also, why in your long, long ad do you mention abstinence of meat?
Lol. Good point. Also I've never heard anyone whose a keto believer actually claim that meat is best because the animals eat plants. Hilarious.

"Getting up and going to bed with the sun" I love the night. Staring at the stars and the moon. I need the night too.
Just make sleep time 8-10 hours each day at a regular time.
Interesting how contradictory good sense appears! Can’t help wondering what drs Esselstyn Campbell or Bernard might say about olive oil🤔
Actually I think it was the pescatarian diet provided the longest life in Loma Linda...more so then the vegans
very interesting, I think the waters are soon if not already going to be not worth getting those nutrients from and we should find other means, even in the Mediterranean places I'm seeing quite a bit of fish as well, Icaria for example which is closer to pescatarian so it seems.
Why do people say they are vegan but eat fish?
So the Sardinian folks have auto-immune issues from eating the wheat I’m not surprised I have Italian heritage, and I feel like I am very sensitive to grains. I feel better when I don’t eat them
they also do dairy I heard, whether from goats milk or cows milk, which is a massive trigger for auto immune in some people.

Big fan I read unlocking the keto code your new edition
Where does longevity land after that that was all about breaking down the cells
And getting healthy
Not eating to much protein and giving your body a chance to recover by fasting so back to longevity still polyphenols because we're talking about cheese and MCT oil and unlocking the keto code leaning towards cheese are we back to polyphenols for longevity or fermented foods like cheese
Or does cheese have blockers like other
Fermented drinks
Is it polyphenols or is it the fermentation that's given the blocker
Wine, Cheese MCTs and olive oil..for longevity?
With the cheese some are more fermented then others, with the olive oil only specific ones I think would have a better fermented aspect the ones that are less filtered and have more olive leaf and pieces in it, I didn't know mct oil was ferm.

@@EstellaLynn I wager to say it's also what kind of fat you were eating, nuts, healthy oils are great sources of fat, avocado.
