Good interview! I liked both the guest and his ideas, and the interviewer and his attitude and questions.
After a 10 year personal study into heart disease, if someone were to ask me what their odds of dying from heart disease is, I would ask them "Where do you live?".
Totally make sense what he says.
In Singapore, i can buy different indigenous alternative health food cheaply.
❤AMEN❤❤i ALWAYS TRUST❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am one of those, but do not live in a blue zone.
I am 86, full of energies, compose music write essays with a bright view of life, that gets marred from time to time by skeptics.
It was difficult to convince my doctor of my age. I do not suffer from any illness or discomfort, neverthless keep a close check by regular blood work, which has not changed since the past decades that I remember.
It is pribably only a mental state that prompts an attitude and how one conducts life.
I am also writing on the subject of Consciousness, that brings about all these considerations of life.
We always say "may you live upto a 120" at the passing of each year.
It's not only diet and supplements, but friends, and families. It's about people who love and care about you and yourself doing same thing without much concern about benefits and returns. Living longer isn't about outlasting the other, such logic of gym should be thrown out.
Yes.. off grid
My mom worked for decades taking care of older patients, people near the end of their lives, and this is her anecdotal aging advice: a healthy lifestyle will not necessarily make you life longer, but it will make you healthier longer and your end of life decline in health will come later and be shorter. So you will still eventually get sick and die, but you'll spend less time being sick. An unhealthy lifestyle means more health complications sooner so you live with poor health for longer before you pass.
Of course, your genetics will be a big factor and we still don't really know what causes lots of autoimmune conditions and cancers, but for things with a clear cause (heart disease, for example) you really can do a lot to improve your end of life quality of life by being active, social, and eating well.

this is all US marketing and cr4p.
-Longevity according to US BS: buy food, buy supplements, buy gym memberships and gear (and books).
-Longevity in real world: don't buy anything, just avoid–fear, isolation, hate, rage. Which are the 4 building pillars of US society.
PS: avoid US food as well
THIS author is JUST SELKING his book here. And the jurnalist is not knowlegable in this matters
I think some of the big problems are. It's hard to buy anything in the US that doesn't have a ton of sugar in it. Are fruits and vegetables sprayed with chemicals. Even organic ones. The water we drink is laced chemicals. The air is polluted. Just try to buy anything that doesn't have inflammatory ingredients in them. Like seed oils palm oils. It's almost impossible. These companies use it because it's cheap. It's a slow death. It's hard to buy fresh items in the city. I don't know why the FDA doesn't do more to protect the people. Everything seems to be acceptable level. But I don't think so. It shouldn't be. Large amounts of sugar and salt. The average American doesn't pay attention to all the garage that is put it our food. I tried to buy peanut butter. Crazy how many things they put in it. I go and grind my own. I guess it's cheaper for companies to add chemicals to it. More and bigger profits. What about the US. What is the best place for longevity
Excuse me: THAT IS NOTHING NEW … Heeeeh
Peace of mind and kind heart… Simple
Makes sense!
If we will just begin to eat only real whole foods less often and stop sitting for over 12 hours every day, we will reduce the American obesity level, reduce our sky-high healthcare costs, and reverse the decreasing longevity we have seen since Obamacare was passed in 2010
Get some true friends. Spend time with extended family. Maybe a dog?
Do more around your living space. Walk and ride a bike more. Essentially, just move more. If the most walking you do is at Costco you are in trouble.
Avoid the American healthcare system by eating more plants, getting outside, moving more and being around people who make you happy.
Control what you can control.
Another zone invention to sell books
Yes. Research has shown before that where you live matters tremendously for your happiness, for example, but also for your health.
I saw the 1st episode and almost finished the 2nd episode in Sardina. I love it.
Living longer sounds nice…halfwit ..if in constant it's not, if living in mental dispair it's not..blah blah blah…
Western created Kfc & McD.
Their menu are
fried chicken, french fries, burger & soda drinks.
I agree with your story,……
Happy life's & Enjoy love
At 79 years old, I am grateful to be given a healthy body, without consuming supplements or medication. From a young age I diligently drank traditional drinks, namely boiled turmeric, tamarind with a mixture of bay leaves, lime leaves and a few stalks of lemongrass and a little palm sugar [all blended]. I drink it every 2 days every morning, before breakfast, then do light exercise.
living in California its already a death sentence
Do these bluezones increase your retirement funds?
Lies lies lies…does not correlate with human nutritional history. High quality butter, organs and fermented raw dairy is what developed our frontal cortex… do your research, don’t listen to these trendy charlatans..
Nat Geo company is all in on the vegan propaganda, and investing heavily on such content. They force all the employees to eat vegan, the have some food director that is very brainwashed and pushes her ideas to its people.
Dan says the exact opposite of your clickbait title: "where you live, not exercise…"
The four basic components of the Blue Zone lifestyle are 1) Connect 2) Move (a.k.a….exercise!) 3) Right Outlook 4) Eat Wisely
Movement is so critical that you're unlikely to find healthy centenarians outside of places that integrate it into everyday life.
Moreover, it makes no difference where you live if you can incorporate those four elements into your life to the same degree that the Okinawans or Sardinians do. That's kinda the whole point ¯_(ツ)_/¯
They live longer in Blue Zones because they have less stress and eat a good deal of fish, getting a lot of Omega-3s. The plant-based explanation, or alleged factor, is total nonsense.
My ethiopian grand father lived until 101. He walked ever morning to church until 101.
Romans 5:20-21 But where sin abounded, grace did MUCH More abound: If she was so full of Grace she had SIN. SHE WAS NOT BORN SINLESS. He is adding to the Bible and using his own THOUGHTS as so why he thinks she was born SINLESS and NO THE FIRST CHRISTIANS DIS BELIEVE she was born without sin
Where are her SINLESS Family??? LIES
Its all about keeping active,on the move,not overeating, eating simply,avoiding processed food,and good genes.mum at 86 has alzheimers but was overweight from middle age onwards. Dad at nearly 94,is slim,always on the move and apart from not seeing well,is great.
Blue zones have cleaner air, and better community
Misleading title. EXERCISE is always part of the equation. I know they are not going to the gym like we do in "modernized" societies but these people lift and move on a daily basis as part of their lifestyle. The title irritates me because its going to lead some gullible people to say "see, exercise is not necessary."
I live in the dirty south. A bunch of fat slow angry people.
I would like to know where the red zones are so that I can avoid them
The areas with the longest lifespans have excellent water. Mineralized by rainwater flowing through magnesium rich limestone or over river rocks.
Sorry escarole and beans is NOT expensive !
Kentucky…😳… they eat fried crap 🤮
