What do you think the key to living longer is? Share your beliefs with us below!
I enjoy these video's and I went to follow Lucie on Instagram. I know through that that she has left R29 to "branch out". Does this video mean that Lucie is back with R29?
Loma Linda California is literally the capital of the seventh day adventist religion of which eating a vegan diet is a corner stone but sure "no special diets"
OH MY GOD LITERALLY EVERY FOOD IN THE TOP 10 WAS PLANT BASED AND YOU'RE SAYING THERE ISN'T A SPECIAL DIET! IT'S ALL PLANTS! WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID TO PRESENT IT LIKE IT IS????
I think the key to live a long life is to be happy and to live your best life!
@@tlr748 I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I did some studying on the Blue Zones myself a few years back, and I also learned that there is not a special diet. The top 10 foods she listed here are foods that tend to be eaten in these regions. However, these people do not choose to eat these foods to intentionally eat a certain way, the way someone following a keto diet or paleo diet might. This is simply the food they consume because it is what is available to them, just like Americans in metropolitan areas may grab a burger-- it's simply a food the person enjoys that is readily available. Hope that helps! :)
My main thought while watching this is how hard it is to practice all of these habits when we live in a culture that emphasizes work so much. If you’re working a full time job you might not have the luxury of having time to cook your food, spend time with your community, or destress and find your purpose of life, because you need to support yourself.
Lily8909 so true! A lot of these cultures don’t emphasize work as much
@@luciebfink Maybe that's the real reason they live so long.
BroadwayInHD Japan has the longest life expectancy, but their work culture is terrible
Jesamarie yeah, it’s interesting! But I think it’s important to note that Lucy states that Okinawa is the blue zone not Tokyo, etc. also, even if you have terrible work life balance, if you’re walking everywhere and your 7-11 has fresh local foods/bento than it must be counteracting something.
Lily8909 I think you’re absolutely right!!!
I believe stress is the biggest factor that differs us from people who live in those blue zones!
geminilicious I agree, and diet! Mainly processed/mass produced foods.
Me: I want to live longer
Also me: *eats a family size bag of crisps*
😂😂😂😂
Avery Addington lol ik 😂
Poppy Little yyaaasssss
U now have the life spam of everyone’s life in your family added together
Honey B Aesthetics thanks 😂
I'd like to see 5 days of living on the poverty line, eg. not spending much more than a dollar a day on food. There are some great charities that highlight this issue.
FIVE DAYS OF ONLY WEARING NEUTRALS !
FIVE DAYS OF MATCHING WITH MICHAEL !
i would love love LOVE to see these ! 😊😊
My 70 year old mother walks 4 miles a day at least 5 days a week. #getmoving
+creationslandscapedesigns Wow, that's so amazing!
Wow !
I'm 64 years old, a geriatric nurse, specialty in dementia. Yep, found my calling! And I would NEVER have expected this in my 20s...
5 DAYS OF BUDGETING BY ENVELOPES
5 DAYS OF LEARNING COMPUTER PROGRAMMING/SCRIPTING
5 DAYS OF BEING A BARTENDER
Seriously, these videos have entertaned me and inspired me!!! :) thank you lucie!!!
What a fun video! I am part of the Blue Zone community in Loma Linda (I’m a Seventh-day Adventist), and while praying daily is an important part of our spiritual practice, we also take Sabbath (don’t work) from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday and enjoy the day in spiritual community and in nature! For me and many in this community of students and health care professionals, this has proven to be an important aspect of staying spiritually and physically healthy. Thanks, Lucie! Love your videos.
Carla Blum-Johnston love to hear this!!!
+carlablum-johnston Thanks for sharing with us!
I love your 5 days video so much i swear i stay up until 1am
My purpose is to help animals and the environment and help children that aren’t in healthy home situations
I'm vegan! It helps out the environment so much and I dont need to end an animals life for my pleasure. My family is also vegetarian except for holidays.
And Share the meal is also good to help chrildren in need
Vegan life is a good life
But don’t forget your vitamins 😜
Ry's Gangsters OMG YES! I love animals and have always since I was 3. So I’m so glad someone else loves helping animals! Thanks I appreciate it!
I live in Loma Linda, CA & this was....interesting lol.
A lot of people in the area are students or veterans. The farms are on the outskirts of the city through the back roads to Moreno Valley, but there are an excess of fruit trees, I wouldn't call living here anything special or any different from the rest of California. I'm sure this differs for everyone here though. 💗
The California population is specific to the Seventh-Day Adventists community, not sure why she didn't mention it
@@jackie9190 yup. I've read the book as well. The Blue Zone in Loma Linda, California is specific only to the Seventh-Day Adventist community there, not the geographic area itself
Love how you say ‘upcoming wedding’ so casually 😂💕🎉
It's so nice seeing you try a different approach to living life👌 I live in a small town in the centre of Greece🇬🇷 and here are some things we do:
1) buy eggs from neighboors with non-caged chickens
2) eat a lot of fruit and vegetables that are bought from the fresh outdoor market (localy grown)
3) try to eat with family at all meals
4) cook almost every meal we eat, in special occasions we eat at a restaurant if we'd like relatives/friends company
5) we do drink a lot of water and when it's the orange's season, juice too
6) we try to walk A LOT and use our bikes as much as possible!
All these things we have access to because we live in a town that is small and is near the countryside. I am moving though to the capital this year fot college and i'll miss my family a lot. I hope you, as well as me, find a way to incorporate these things into your life and live better😊💕
@Ultra Chic Life: On A Budget that's right!!
Awesome to hear. I’m visiting Greece next July and am so excited😊 Any recommendations on where to travel to?!
@@mandeeeorz Crete is my favourite island to be honest, there are many things to do there and it's not as expensive as Santorini or Mikonos (the most popular islands full of tourists). In Crete you can visit the Knosos, there is also a huge aquarium which i personally LOVE, there's a place called "Elafonisi" where the sand at the seasore is pink ect.! Look all these places up on the web to find more info! And of course if you'd like to see the Parthenon and its museum, go to Athens!!!
+cutiesketch Thanks for the tips!
Cutie Sketch Sounds amazing will definitely look into them. It’s great to hear from a person who actually lives here... thank you so much for replying ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Lucie I just Had to say that I watch your vids every day even the old ones I always take you as one of big inspirations I luv u ❤️🦄
It’s Puganna soooo nice!!!
Yay!!! Another living with Lucie! I love you Lucie, I hope you have a wonderful summer!
I'm subscribed to this channel just because I love living with Lucy
I love eating to about 80% full because my thoughts stay clear afterwards. If I eat until I'm full or more than full, then my body can only digest haha...
O.K. Lucie, my mother-in-law is going to be 104 yrs old on her next birthday and I can tell you she did not do anything special to reach this age. No healthy diet, no exercise and drove everywhere, rarely went to the doctor ( has never seen a GYN since my husband was born, he's 64) and rarely cooked. My mother who died at 91 yrs. old, was German and cooked every meal and loved to bake. We ate our biggest meal at lunch and dinner was a lighter meal, as was breakfast. My parents did not drive so we walked everywhere and my mom was hit by a car twice with multiple fractures but healed completely, which I think was due to strong bones from walking.
I think we can try the best we can to be healthy, but sometimes it's just dumb luck! :)
Awwww the picture with your bridesmaids 😍💕💕💕 I’m like super excited for your wedding! Thanks for this Lucie 😘
My purpose is to help homeless people and have as many people possible in the US to not be homeless it's been my dream since I was like five.
Leah Schmidt I love this ❤️
@@luciebfink thank you, you are my inspiration and you're amazing keep doing you boo
Leah Schmidt That’s an admirable goal! I hope you accomplish your dreams! ❤️
You've got this, soon you'll be helping every less fortunate homeless family in the world!
@@TiaraWordsfromGod thank you
Wooohoooo a new video. My mom keeps talking about this book and these zones so I’m so happy to see it this way!
This is simply the most amazing series on CZcams EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!
The key to living longer: be happy
YESS IVE MISSED THESE VIDEO!!💖
I love how things are drawn out, a great visual!!!!
The craziest part of this to me is that you have 10 bridesmaids lol
+elizabethflores LOL!
OMG Lucie!!! I'm from Italy and I love your series and I saw you were playing Cattan!! I always play it with my friends here!! Love u ❤
I love Lucie!!!
Finalllyyyyyyy!!!!! new episode
gorgeous Lucy!
Love your vids ❤️
I love these videos so much!!! Yay!!
Catie Gwin yayyy
Great video thank you!
YAY A NEW TRY LIVING WITH LUCIE!!!!! Day made!
I would love to see 5 days of different languages! Also I was wondering how stress and sleep affects people in the blue zones.
We love a good Lucie video. This is the quality content I like to see 😍🙂
Maddy Vilhauer THANK YOU!!
Your hair colour looks so good❤️
slowly making myself a tea and getting some nuts as a snack
In greece and sardinia they actually eat until late at night and have little/no breakfast.
+macgina Interesting!!
I liked just because you played Settlers of Catan!
My purpose is to help animals they are my favorite ☺💕🐶🐱
Really enjoyed this video--very interesting information on the blue zones and learned a few things I can do too! Love the new hair, and Settlers is so fun! My purpose is to help others, especially through providing speech therapy services. Thanks for this video!
Love it😙😙
Super interesting video! It’s all connected, if you eat healthier you feel better, if you feel better you are active, if you are active you socialise, if you socialise (with positive people) you feel happier. Im learning to grow my own food, that’s so exciting!
I so look forward to these 💚
+angelajenkins
My purpose is it make the Earth better! I want to clean it up and help people that need me to!
Love this video thank you
I was born in Loma Linda, California and had no idea it was Blue Zone!
It’s true I live in Greece and I have visited Icaria,and you can see a lot of elders there all the time!
Whoohooo!! Finally back
Lucky you should start doing more bullet journaling
I’m interested in where you get you informations from? When you reference research could you put links to some of the studies you looked at? Obviously not everything but at least the main ones?
Along the lines of information, maybe 5 days researching? Learning to research/critically analyse information/spot fake news etc.
I've seen her talk about different books and articles from R29 and other places.
Hi Lucie, this is my idea for 5 days:
Different eating cultures: maybe China, France, Germany, Mexico, England...
Love Kathi
My life purpose is to LOVE!!! :)
healing and being
I missed this series !
I love Catan! Have you played the sea farers edition?
Lucies’ eyes 😍
I loved this video! Lucy, which book did you read? There’s a first and second edition. I’d love to order it for my mom!
Education. I actually found that out through chatting, with a guy I had just met at the hostel, in a fast food joint while he ate. It's the thing that motivates and drives me.
My mom has a blue zone book and she loves it! The recipes out of the book are very delicious! ☺️
I actually lived near Loma Linda my whole life, also I’m seventh-day Adventist.
5 days of food combining!
That’s what my parents used to eat when they were my age, they lived at the village and ate whatever their parents made, they just didn’t have sweet potatoes. They also worked only at the farm the whole day and played non-stop, my County is famous for its wine and for the homemade bread
Costa Rica representtt
Your hair is beautiful😍
Love this topic.I always interested about blue zones
The thumbnail left a lot to be desired, but I clicked because 85% of the time I like the content Lucy creates. This was SUPER helpful & informative! I was surprised how much sociological-science based information that was given and conclusions Lucy made of that research! Good job!
I miss this show soooo much!!!
This was great! I did a bunch of studying on the Blue Zones about 3.5 years ago and thought it was fascinating! What Lucie said was very familiar to what I read (plus a few more details I didn't know before). I wished this episode showed a little more of the experiences Monday through Wednesday, but overall this video was very informative, and I like that. :)
+havaschultz Thanks for leaving a positive message!
This is such a coincidence I was just talking to someone yesterday about the bluezones and longevity here in Okinawa
+alexyssmcclellan That's so crazy! :)
What supplies did you use in this video
My calling seems to be a shoulder to lean on or therapist for people to open up to and also someone who connects people to each other or to things they need.
very interesting topic! I need to incorporate some of these for sure.
+thesimplefarmhouse Let us know how it goes!
I actually want to try this
I love settlers of catan! It is our family's favourite game, we have been playing for over a decade!
to travel and help others
Jaiden Aliff I love that
Hey lucie!!!!! 😘
Love uuuu
How often does she post a tlwl? I always check and never know when they post! Like once a month?
I just realized why my great grandma is so old but still alive and it’s bc she is from a blue zone (where she grew up)
Eating breakfast while watching this. “Cool cool so I’m already doing step one.” Avoid any sugars “okay that shouldn’t be too hard..there shouldn’t be too much sugar in this ketchup i have on my eggs” avoid things like sauces and ketchup “DANG IT”
+kimberlymiller LOL!
its very nice
Catan is the best!!!
I love you!
I think my purpose would be to help others when I become a nurse.
🔥♾
That’s a pretty big glass of red wine 😄👍🏻😅
Dóra Hajnal hehehe
It's good for you! haha
My life purpose is to teach people music and to help people as much as I can.
This isn’t relevant to the video but on your 5 days of adulting you asked of ideas to help you as an adult or something the lines of that and I thought to mention that you should try slightly rearranging a room with the decoration in it,for example-every time I clean or straighten my room,I might redo my mantal,put a new fan pull,etc...I’m just suggesting this though,love your videos💗
I don't know if you've done this already but 5 days of juice cleanse would be cool! 🐣💕
omg you should do 5 days of rice water since you want your hair longer for your wedding!!! it is supposed to grow your hair 2-6 inches in one week!!
Wow I live 5 mins drive away from Loma Linda
5 days of pet care plss
My purpose: To love God and to love people!
The key is these communities is that none of these food, community or physical activities are optional. Their communities are set up for success because they don’t live in suburbs where they drive everywhere and have insanely addictive terrible food choices everywhere and where they have to work a million hours a week just to survive. They live in these places where they are naturally going to choose the healthier option.
+ashleymiller Thanks for your input!
I envy how you’ve got your life together
What did she do that got her life together?
Naira Bee her apartment is clearly nice and tidy, how she just has such a healthy lifestyle and just wanting to live a longer life lmao which means that you must enjoy life in the first place, I don’t
Scarlett Tang why don’t you?
Naira Bee lol idk tbh, I just genuinely don’t wanna live, I don’t wanna grow up and get a job just to pay to live in a world that I don’t even wanna be in
Scarlett Tang makes sense. Me too. Maybe get a job you like? Then you wouldn’t have to worry about working just for the sake of surviving? But I get you tho. Living is too much fucking work sometimes just to get by/survive and you didn’t even ask for any of it.
Loved this video, but it does seem like most of these tips are inaccessible to lower income populations, especially in capitalist countries that encourage constantly working.
Life Purpose:
Help as many people I can possibly can
Thanks for this video, it's made me more curious! It's probably been asked, but I didn't see it in my scan of the comments: What book is it you got on ikigai? I'd like to take a look at it, as well!
Amanda Tamayo it’s called “Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life”
@@luciebfink Thank you!
