My grandfather lived until 98, His older brother lived to 100, they grew up in the rural area, eat organic and work until they were more than 90 years old 😊

It is important to distinguish between greens and grains growing by people in blue zones and USA ! In USA grains and greens are full with chemicals, in blue zones people do not use Monsanto products !

Dan Buettner is brilliant! Love his Netflix documentary.

Back when the Mediterranean diet was discovered by scientists to be a very healthy diet (1960s), there were actually countries in Europe where people lived even longer: Switzerland, Netherlands, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway. In spite of the fact that in these countries people ate a much higher rate of meat and dairy. I think the main issue is ultra-processed foods, not the amount of animal-based foods in your diet.

For old timers, we remember when Person to Person was a frequent show on CBS. Nice to see it being revived.

Food information is excellent! Ms. O’Donnell is stunning!

[MyLaura]

THis should have gotten a few million views in 5 months!

Develop weekly go-to international meals and bar food - Asian, Italian, Mexican, Indian, BBQ... that are plant based. It's the "experience" and taste of a nationality you covet, no the meat.

[KenPierpont]

love it when Dad grimaces at the mention of olive oil... :)

[debdfw]

Very interesting. Good things to know. I need a good cook book. I will have to try this one. I like the historical information. Good for Ft Worth. This food looks great.

[ainsleyameerali]

Dan is correct ... plant based is the way to go I become vegan over night .... don't miss meat at all .... meat is so outdated

Blue zone 2.0 is happily my country 🇸🇬 Singapore and it is human engineered

[Oliver]

Why are they isolated places like islands? that also could be a factor

[tashifarhan]

Notice at 40 seconds the location of all these places. That must have something to do with it also

[aroundandround]

Japan and Singapore are among the countries that are seafood dominant, and Switzerland eats a decent amount of land meat, and these three are the longest lived countries in the world.

[ThePapawhisky]

Secrets? The secrets are to eat less meat and processed food, eat more veggies, fruits, grains, legumes, exercise more, connect to family and friends, do useful things? The secret is not what to do, that is well understood. the secret is why people don’t do it.

[zyzzyvacation]

This should all be pretty straightforward for Norah O'Donnell as her husband is a chef . . .

i am just here to read comments. seems like a lot of experts commenting here.

[KironManuelCards]

While I agree with Dr Dan I wonder if he can include travel and good housing for longer lives.
