Leaves out the most important factor - physical labor. Blue zone folks are not sedentary. They labor physically deep into old age.

[tabithalacopo]

The most important common denominator isn’t what they eat, it’s what they typically don’t eat. No processed crap they grow the bulk of their own food or source locally and hence they work actively all their lives.

[leoninavictoria]

I stopped eating anything that’s wrapped many years ago. I feel great, stay fit and I barely produce trash in my house.

This gentleman ought to do a bit more research. For example, there is a book by Dr Alexander Leaf, MD. It is called "Youth in Old Age". He went around the world with his wife to look at the diets of people who live the longest while in good health, optimal mobility and physicality.

His conclusion was that those who best adjusted to their environmental niches, in the way of diet, activity and cultural inclusion, always do the best. You can't go around the world and enforce one particular regimen.

He also might want to visit the robust literature on autopsies of Egyptian mummies and see the consequences of being big grain eaters. In fact, when the Greeks encountered the Egyptians in war, they called their soldiers, bread (grain) eaters.

[BODYCOACHable]

If I ate all those beans and whole grains I would be a bloated mess!!

[ninelaivz]

It's true that centenarians ate less meat back in the day because it was too expensive. They would slaughter a pig once a year because that's all they had. They had to wait for the next one to fatten. Organic pork fat was highly prized in my grandma's days (1888-1978). It was used to make many dishes and pastries.
Her diet was beans, various greens including stinging nettles, fish, seasonal fruit, her own honey, plenty of goats cheese and bread.
She spun her own silk and made her own fabric on the loom her husband built for her and was in her field till the day she died. She never watched TV. If she was sitting, she was eating, spinning silk, looming or reading.
My mother (grew up in village but then lived in the city) wasn't quite at her mother's level but close. My sister (grew up mostly in the city) another 4 levels down. Her great granddaughters (never been to a village city girls), useless.

Bro skipped over the most important fruit that they eat 80% of the time and is the food in the tropics also blue zones…Fresh organic fruit from strong soil

[world-of-susan.]

My father in law lived up to 97 and his mother to 101. They ate everything in moderation but were physically active each and every day

[messedupworld]

Stress is what makes your life shorter.

[idolerner]

Most importantly, you must eat these things for at least a century

[sarahbrown]

My grandmother lived to 99 years...no medications, lived alone with no help. Her diet consisted of pork, hard cheese and gin!

[pieterviljoen]

Thank goodness he is not my dietician. He’ll kill me.

[lastsamurai]

I watched my dad eat spam and bologna sandwiches for his whole carrer as a diesel mechanic. Made 100y/o last October. He's still walking around the yard fixing or breaking things.

[mattjc]

Ask anyone who’s lived to that age and they say they’ve never worried about anything, including worrying about plant based diet.

[carloloturco]

One Expert Says Eat Beans The Other Says Beans Are Killing You, One Says Grain Are Healthy The Other Says Grains Can't Be Digested, One Says Plants Have Defensive Posion The Other Says Plants Will Make You Live Longer Oh Ok

[williamm]

My grandmother lived to 99 years missing her 100 birthday by a month. She drank bourbon every afternoon and was a smoker. She was in great shape and very active. Eating less calories is another way as proven in most rat and mouse studies.

[yanislav]

Those people also do physical labor all day. They don't have time to eat 3x a day and snack in between.
They practice intermittent fasting daily, which is a huge factor in longevity.
We spike our insulin every couple of hours. That's why some of us are insulin resistant.

[gilbertjubinville]

Great great grandmothers with 100 grandchildren around her is why she lives to 100! She is has reverence & utility. A large social network & community!

[endel]

“Way less fish than you would think”

**Japan has entered the chat**

[charmaineswanevelder]

Auto immune issues cant have any of that 😱 i eat meat eggs and cheese water and coffee, no auto imm issues and feel great with no more medication
