I am in my 7th decade, fit, muscular and have no health problems. I am classed as a heavy drinker, only consuming beer. I went and got my covid injection for over70s. It was embarrassing, surrounded by obese, unhealthy, people with their walking frames and needing their family to help them. If this is the result of being a teetotaler, I will keep drinking.
My grandmother died totally autonomous 104 sleeping in her bed at home in Barcelona. She never drank water only cheap local red wine she bought by the pound. Never exercised either 🤔. Lots of olive oil, vegetables, meat and red wine. Never ate processed food though.
@@irishmick6709 she was always good humoured. Went through very very harsh times from 1936 to 1950. The civil war and the war defeat stole pretty much her young life unfortunately. Hunger, cold and things she probably hid forever. She was a believer, would never miss church and a piece of cake after lunch on sundays 😆. Cheers from Catalonia my Irish friend 👍
This is mere gossip or anecdotal "evidence". Stories like these have absolutely zero scientific relevance. There are also life-long smokers who are over 100 years old. Doesn't change the fact that there is an extremely high risk associated with smoking 🙄
Here in my seventh decade. Drinking regularly but moderately (3 to 4 evenings per week for around 1,000ml of beer each evening) since I was 16. I have enjoyed 1,000s of memorable evenings with friends in bars over the decades. I still ride a mountain bicycle up steep hills in tropical heat, and I can kayak for miles. I do not value or relish the idea of extending life into my late seventies or eighties. I see only diminishing returns in such advancing years. Beware of hypochondria. Cheers!🍻
I've always hypothesized that people who drink moderately know how to manage stress better than teetotalers and longevity has nothing to do with the alcohol itself.
This is why Rhonda is so much better than Attia and Huberman. Those guys are hysterical about alcohol and sugar. They seem to be more salesmen. Rhonda is really the only fully trustworthy youtube dr.
As a recovered alcoholic, I know how much better my health is without alcohol. If a person can use small amounts, then great. But the alcohol molecule provides no benefit to the body.
Whole beer (I prefer light beers of craft sort) and quality wine,….. they provide my body plenty of benefit, and millions and billions of other people presently and through history, in moderation. Beer and wine give excellent nutrition and calories,… in moderation, variable per person depending on age and lifestyle/activity-levels.
Benefits me, as part of non pasteurized beer, normally less than 5.0% alc. I keep healthy, and healthies with some beer, not over consumed, not for 'swim', not for tipsyness nor drunkenness.
Great video. Putting references in the slides or at least in the description wouild however make them even better, allowing people to dig deaper in the studies if they wish.
What about the activity around consuming alcohal in blue zones? Does the alcohol create a positive effect for everyone to socialize more effectively in a shorter period of time? When are they drinking? Afteroon lunch time? I think the answer is yes on both of these.
My great grandma Maritsa and my great grandpa Joseph both lived to 98 and 99 years of age. Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, mainly beer, sometimes brandy, but never red wine. They were absolutely fit, working in the garden every day. I guess because alcohol reduces stress, which is the worst enemy of health and well being. They were relaxed, happy people, not living in any blue zone.
Excellent summarization. I would further speculate that the moderate consumption of alcohol in the blue zones contributes to increased social interactions, which in turn has been correlated with better physical/mental health and increased longevity.
Thank you! I used to have a glass of red wine with dinner nightly. I’m now abstaining because it’s bringing side effects working out the next morning. I’d rather get my workout in since that’s the source of my energy for the day. Have to say, I don’t miss it one bit. Drinking electrolytes tastes way better so I’m not just drinking plain water all the time. 😊
stress is the number one killer. ppl in southern italy drink wine , smoke, and eat carbs they age over 100 still working. they have sun and little stress
THC, L-Tryptophan, and magnesium is my cocktail for stress relief. Works amazingly well for me, and I don’t have to worry about the nasty side effects of alcohol.
Leave it to Dr. Rhonda to reveal each findings' dimension for the issue under review. Blue zones use more fish, a multitude of herbs, leafy greens, beans Dr Rhonda, keep being so terrific !
Could be all of the other positive diet and activity characteristics of the blue zoners somewhat offset the potentially damaging impact of alcohol. Like Rhonda emphasizes, nutritional studies are VERY different from randomized Controlled pharma studies in that it is too difficult to determine which other nutritional variables are equal across all subjects.
I have wondered about this question, my father had been a drinker until he was in his 60's, he outlived by at least 5 year's his mother and father who never drank as well he outlived by at least 7 years his siblings who never drank at all. The alcohol didn't seem to hurt my Dad, actually the rest of the family who abstained didn't make it so far, Dad also smoked from age 35 until age 60.
If the Ikarians drink wine with their meal, their livers stop producing glucose, their blood glucose drops and it reduces insulin needs, could that be a possible benefit?
Not that I already have known this but I a always thought drinking a lesser amount of alcohol with days of zero alcohol would be best for me. I also think that drinking this moderate amount of say wine is actually beneficial for me. May be it is the placebo effect.
Never felt a benefit but it's interesting how you can keep warm and metabolize it for energy seemingly sustainably, until the next morning at least. Never a big fan but I think i lost some years to social drinking.
I came across a study that showed that people that had a small mount of alcohol 2 hours before bed had lower blood sugar levels compared to those who did not have alcohol This may be the reason why the blue zone has the longevity in the population because lower blood sugar levels are associated with health and longevity 😊
I appreciate the content. Not being a troll. Mortality rate is 100% for all humans regardless. I live in the US. Our society is sick and diseased. Both mentally and physically. Government, media and finance purposely fuel our anxieties and thrive on our fear. This causes mental and physical stress. I enjoy drinking for a lot of reasons. One of them is stress relief. If I lose a few end of life years that are most likely not very high-quality anyway, so be it. No getting out of death.
Not sure how you got to 1-2 drinks per week when your slide on life expectancy and healthspan indicate otherwise? The life expectancy for 100-200 gms (7-14 glasses wine) is less than 1 year of life expectancy. While healthspan is "nonsignificant" up to 10 drinks/ week. Seems to me the threshold would be, again, 1-2 drinks per day and not 1-2 per week. What am I missing?
You're not missing. She missed that. 1 to 2 beers per morning, some mornings when it's warm/hot and I'm slogging /working in the landscape, works for me.
What about the many beneficial health outcomes with low alcohol consumption (Chris Masterjohn PhD Explains: Alcohol’s SURPRISING Role in Your Health and Longevity th-cam.com/video/G4QzEelRGvA/w-d-xo.html)
You have also noted (except for APOE expression) also that 1-2 drinks /day was associated with 25-30% decrease in dementia, and cardiovascular benefits (e.g., reducing platelet stickiness, increasing blood flow). Given I'm a non-drinker, this might make me want to start drinking 1-2 drinks/day to get these benefits.
It’s your state of mind in all situations If you can stay happy and joyful in whatever you do and in whatever situations you can eat and drink whatever want to The creator just wants us to be happy as he takes care of us We don’t accept our situation and surrender
It's been said alcohol for the elderly is what milk is for the young. Alcohol helps prevent blood clots. 1 bottle of beer per night, or 5 fluid ounces red wine per night will extend lifespan of older people.
I like that caveat, their longevity is "probably" not related to a direct benefit of alcohol. Hmmm, not very convincing. Mormons don't drink but have very close social connections, and while they do have a slightly above average lifespan they are most certainly not a blue zone. I suspect moderate alcohol consumption is actually a contributing factor in the blue zones, even if we don't understand the mechanism.
Great point abt LDS. Clearly just being a teetotaler doesn’t guarantee longevity. But do they have on average other bad habits and a worse diet than blue zoners?
@@unknownKnownunknowns Other than alcohol and coffee as far as I know the Mormon church permits their adherents to eat whatever they like. The Mormons I know eat a typical American diet, that includes sugary snacks and drinks, like Coke etc. They do a 24 hour fast religiously once a month, and that seems to have some significant benefits for them.
Human body is still a mistery, even tho we have a lot of studies, none of them is final answer as we keep getting new discoveries . Our body is too complex. For now we can have an idea that surely its not good overall to drink alcohol, but that will difer from person to person. Overall I would advise not to drink, but surely we have an option.. risk or not, and hope we have good generics for alcohol resistance if we opto to drink
Maybe the reason women have more risk with 2 drinks compared to men with 3 is because overall women weigh less than men so that would make 2 drink for a woman the same as 3 drinks for a man.
I'm 74. All my party animals friends, with one exception, are dead. This exception just had major heart surgery, did quit tobacco.... but still drinks like always, and smokes weed. Since the surgery, he's withdrawn a bit... he was always assertive, outgoing. He doesn't like feeling so fragile. I let him know it may take a year to get his groove back, but I'm concerned about how much he drinks. I have always been a lightweight when drinking. One or two when out is my limit. Now, three or four per week, max. It affects the quality of my sleep... Sleep has always been a concern, but that's another subject.
Me once I stopped “relying” on alcohol…makes me feel soooo good..I am no longer interested in drinking..I feel fine strong alive..why go back? To be a man with more estrogen, man boobs, beer belly slug? Nah not for me..
1-2 glasses of red wine does wanders to your body. But if you're an alcoholic like my father and drink half bottle of cognac daily, well, I have bad news for you :D
Why are people drinking 1-3 drinks ever? What’s the point? The crappy taste without the buzz? There is no justification. People will certainly try but it taste like shit, it does’t relax you, or make you funny. You feel it the next day even if it is just a few. Only reason you’re doing it is cause you’re addicted or a lemming. The truth no drinker will ever cop to. Just like me. The drinking me would have argued with the “idiot” making this post but the sober me finally realized I was the idiot all along.
The difference between poison and food is the dose. Even water kills! Who cares on longevity? Some psychological types do. Pay attention in the language used to claim benefits. What if my benefits with moderate use of alcohol allows me to be happier, less stressed, get a better balance with antidepressants? None of these studies asked for it! Her tone of voice is pedantic and know it all. I’m used to discussing with people with more humility and curiosity. She is not curious, she claims she KNOWS! 🤣
Take what you eat with water tea, or coffee, and you alkalize your stomach acidity which is the most important part of our digestive system. Wine is far more acidic so better digestion, can make up for the bad effects to the body on a Mediterranean food plan that contains somewhat more fats, and animal proteins than the health system well let you know.
Epidemiological studies are great, just not for nutrition. Maybe they all tied their shoes too and somebodies grandma turned 123 years old who always tied her shoes. If you don’t have a solid hypothesis that time and time again produces correct predictions for dbrc studies and a mechanism that is highly plausible you have at best an indication for correlation.
My question is why does something that contains aluminum not associated with Alzhiemer's risk when aluminum production has been shown to do it. If I Google trend and look at the charts, the disease searches do not show any correlation which for me is weird. Some scientists have argued that this is the case. I think the reason is premature death through other issues.
@@skye7690 nevermind. Luckily this was an anonymous comment. Alcohol doesn't contain aluminum. The AL doesn't mean aluminum. That explains the no correlation.
Alcohol converts to the SCFA acetate, which is a major fuel source for the mitochondria. The human body makes acetate regularly for energy. Acetate is vinegar. Fermented sugar. Its hard on the liver to covert acetaldehyde to acetate nonstop, thus moderation is best.
Talking about alcohol without separating the other substances that are part of a drink, is waste of time. OK, not much difference between red wine drinkers and abstainers. But most red wine is low in sugar. But what about typical drinkers of sugar drinks? What about the metabolic efficiency of the people in the study. These studies just cherry pick the data, without really getting to the root cause of not good health or good health.
-a difference of 6mo in a nutritional study (EtOH is sugar)is worthless -this has clear confirmation bias, numerous large epidemiological studies support moderate EtOH and longevity -BlueZones areas, according to The Economist, failed to account for pension fraud, ie say you are old and you get money, especially in places where war or birth certificates were adopted late -overall a mediocre video with pre planned
The greeks in the blue zones make their own wine. they don't buy store brand wines. so there are little to no non-organic chemicals when the wine is being fermented. store brand wines put chemicals in them so they can be bottled to sit on shelves for years on end .
What these studies doesn't show people's life style their diet, Plus who paid for these studies.These people probably eat donuts, chips, fast food plus no exercise.

You may not live longer but it will certainly seem longer 😂 I suspect that they live longer in the BZ’s because they don’t stress over these things.
In other words, likely correlation, not causation.
Alcohol is literally poisonous. Any "benefit" found in alcohol has be found multiple times over in other substances that are not poison.
Maybe the reason women have more risk with 2 drinks compared to men with 3 is because overall women weigh less than men so that would make 2 drink for a woman the same as 3 drinks for a man.
