    He's on the right track. The true secret to long life includes activity as he said, but not just any activity, activity which causes us to look forward to doing it again. That is one of the reasons after retirement ppl grow old so rapidly.
    The second is belief. Those who believe in their culture, lifestyle etc will live longer than those who have no belief system about life.
    The 3rd and well known secret is reduced stress. Stress is not restricted to pressure from work. It includes tangible things like posture or eating habits or even intangible things like the types of thoughts haboured.
    The body, through the mind, can regenerate every cell and even compensate for telomere length shortening.

    After working at a Cancer Center for 11 yrs I'd have to say from what I've seen, there is no rhyme or reason. From my experience biology plays more of a role than lifestyle. My grandmother lived to 100 and pretty much lived off of honeybuns and mountain dew for 40 yrs- never got any exercise. A friend of mine eats fast food a lot and his blood numbers are much better than mine- and I eat very healthy.

    I agree with Mr. Buettner, if you do what you're told by your doctors and you keep yourself healthy, you'll live past 100 years. What he said in the video is to surround yourself with trustworthy, good habit people, that alone will benefit yourself as a person and your lifespan. I believe the key to living longer is having a strong relationships with the people you love most. Also, if you have healthy parents, it's more than likely you'll grow up eating healthy and making good diet decisions. Another way to boost your lifespan is to stay working and become a hard worker. Therefore, you're staying busy and getting your exercise in simple daily activities. Another way is to become married. It's proven men live up to 10 years more than non-married men and women live up to 4 years more than non-married women. I couldn't agree more with this TED talk and it's such a shame how low our societies lifespan is now because of all the unethical and bad decisions we're choosing for our bodies.

    he has looked at 9 regions in the world where people live the longest and searched for common denominators.
    he has found that they have four things in common that make them live longer:
    1. moving naturally (ie walking instead of driving,doing stuff by hand instead of buying machines)
    2. relaxing regulatly (physically AND mentally) (ie meditation, praying)
    3. eating healthy (green plants,small portions,don't overeat)
    4. community (many close friends,life long friendships)

    Watching the video there are some small things we can do. Seems to me most important is purpose, social constructs, diet. I like it. Not as hard. In order to have a long quality life we must study what is important then apply. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." What if that is true? Easy to do, easy not to do.

    It would be interesting to know the immigration and emigration statistics for Sardinia and Okinawa Island. The Seventh Day Adventists have a very high turn-over rate (for every 100 people who join, 43 leave) and so the trend of them living longer on average could be more to do with the fact that certain types of people stay and certain types leave. So genetics might also play in it but also the possibility that the cultures attract more older people anyway and so inevitably they will have a higher concentration of people over 100. Lifestyle must be a big part of it too

  • @MM-nu6bj
    @MM-nu6bj Před 5 lety +2

    Why just 100? I'm working on my next book" Searching for a key to eternal life" My own 5 years experience has shown that the best way to follow is is raw food diet.

  • @joantendler6518
    @joantendler6518 Před 6 lety

    As he said in the video, he wasn't saying that the centenarians ate a plant-based diet. Instead, he was describing the diet of everyone in the island or country, which included the many poor people in these regions, who couldn't afford much meat. In contrast, in the Barbagia region of Sardinia, where the centenarians are, they do eat a lot of meat, suckling pig being a particular favorite. In fact, in 2011, Sardinians called for formal recognition of their excellent diet, insisting that “the secret to a long life can be found in their traditional diet of lamb, roast piglet, milk and cheese", and not in eating 90% plants. Interestingly, this is similar to Costa Ricans, as well as the Danish (the happiest people on the planet), where they eat a lot of pork as well. This makes sense, because pork is one of the best sources of B vitamins, zinc and iron, which give us an upbeat mood. Also, unlike plant foods, pork and pork fat supplies arachidonic acid and DHA, the essential fats that are needed to stop inflammation, for energy, digestion, heart and bone health, and also for acetylcholine, which is needed for the focused, calm and content alpha state-our happy place!

  • @SqueamishNerd
    @SqueamishNerd Před 2 lety

    Just something that is worth mentioning about alcoholic drinks, which he says that Blue Zone people drink in moderation. Studies have shown that people who drink alcohol in moderation have better health than people who drink too much alcohol or no alcohol at all, BUT more recent studies have shown that this is an issue of how correlation doesn't imply causation, because people who don't drink alcohol often stopped drinking because of health problems, they didn't get their health problems from not drinking alcohol. So, it's not bad to not drink alcohol at all, the message here is that if you're healthy enough to drink alcohol, and you choose to drink alcohol, you should only drink in moderation.

  • @fuunguus
    @fuunguus Před 14 lety

    The fact that you never did, shocks, not that you don't do it. Why it's shocking, well not many people are able to keep them self from trying such interesting things, especially during the teen part of growing up. Some might think its weird, cause what reasons can you have to not try not even once? No harm in trying once other than that you might like it. Can't think of any more reasons, people like you are just rare, that's all.

    The hand-made life is not about "burning calories." It's about moving my body, flow, flow of blood, of spirit, all one.
    At seventy-eight, my hip and ankle traumatized in a car accident in my twenties, are acting up. Although unsightly, I love my
    aching hip and swollen, cramped ankle. We are working together to keep me on my legs and ambulant. Soon I will rejoin my
    partner and his family, Latinos who stay together in sickness and in health but always in a good laugh and delicious home-cooked beans on the stove. Did Dan talk about the heart-connection of family? blood or otherwise?

    Honestly, this video is a good message given in a way that rubs me the wrong way. While the Blue Zones are interesting and it's important to know how the human body optimally works today, there's a lot of potential in medical research coming down the pipe.
    I guess the part that bothered me the most was "There is no way to slow aging." And then he describes the way cells lose information during replication? GEEE, SOUNDS SOMETHING WE COULD FIX TO SLOW AGING. 100 problems just means 100 solutions.

    Hm, I don't think it's religion itself, but the social life that most religions provide (with the exception of some).
    It sounds mostly to me that Buettner is basically saying: be social, be happy, exercise whenever you can outside civilization, and eat only what you need. That sounds like a plan to follow :) No stupid weight-loss programs or special diets, and not only do you live more years, you're living happily in those years!

    copy that to smoking and you get the idea.
