Your Personal "Blue Zone" | Nick Buettner | TEDxFridley

I noticed the blue zones are situated on a similar latitude which affords them a better climate with plenty of sunshine, which I presume would help them to live longer.

An idea who's time has really come. With soaring drug and medical prices and obesity and more so rampant, the blue zones offers a way out. Bravo.

Our food chain is broken !

He didn't mention that the Seventh Day Adventists (the Loma Linda Blue Zone) are taught by their religion to eat a vegetarian or vegan diet. The slide that showed "the Blue Zone Diet" showed a typical diet of all the Blue Zones, but one Blue Zone cuts out meat and/ or animal products. The other Blue Zones eat meat as a small percent of their diet, which he did mention.

how to form a blue zone group?

Agenda 21

I have a friend and a half. Gotta work on that.

I love this video, thank you.

This truly deserves much more views than it has received.

When he speaks of Africa: hiv and malnutrition.. That’s rude and not reflecting reality..
Africa is quite a happy and healthy place to live.. Full of organic, whole, un processed and cheap foods

It's also the same latitudes

ALL blue zones are by volcanoes, the rather large obvious answer is sulfur. eat your veggies stay off sugar carbs and consume MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) and live healthily to 100!

Documental dominion. Es triste que se financien esas atrocidades sin necesidad. Hay muchos vegetarianos en Loma Linda, he subido testimonios de vegetarianos centenarios en mi canal

The lonely part hit me hard,..not because I’m lonely lol. But my great aunt lost her husband about 3 years ago and because he was all she had left , she was very lonely and exactly one year later the same day her husband passed, she did as well...to hear that loneliness does kill just reminded me of her. Crazy.

Comercials regarding food should be removed forever !!!

Great talk! My favorite so far!

I've been a fan of the Blue Zones project for years - love that it has branched into bringing the study into practical application - and that the results are Heather health and happiness!

The Buettner family gatherings must be hilarious, as Nick’s quick wit and humorous nature quite entertaining.

I’m still snickering about the machete, as I was raised in a small-farming community on Rural Route #1 in MN and my dad actually had us kids use machetes around the buildings, trees, and house to catch the weeds…. 8 mini weed eaters (children). 😂

Love Blue Zones, as Nick’s conversational details cue me back to the yesteryear experiences that I enjoyed in my youth, which I’ve sustained as my foundational instruct for my Life choices today.

A lifestyle of daily health and wellness choices is simply…. wonderful! 🙂💕

They don't eat GMO.
Only organic meat and vegetables.
Even their wine is different, not like commercially available one.
They don't take vaccines.
They use oils to fry.
Herbs use.
Vitamin d due to sun exposure.

So good to hear this. It's scary to think that Pharma finds this threatening. A healthy, non drug dependent population is not profitable.

excellent. Philip Lederer

Sugar has to be the worst. It’s hidden in so many foods and incredibly addictive. The deleterious effect on the human body is appalling.

I love this video. However, being sort of house bound, I'm lucky to have my son and two granddaughters living with me. My question would be to how to create a Blue Zone starting with my home. When the tag line said "Personal Blue Zone" I thought that's what this video would be (though I certainly understand the need for a whole community to do this).

This guy us annoying af

Blue Zones LLC (yes, its a commercial entity) is now owned by Seventh Day Adventist church so be very wary of anything they say. Its impossible to discuss nutrition with folks who want us all to follow a garden of eden vegan diet

There's no way that these social factors only apply to 5 or 6 regions around the world. I would bet a thousand dollars that most of the benefits of living in a "Blue Zone" can be attributed to sunlight exposure and vitamin D.

More people need to hold themselves to this standard

all this blue zone stuff is cherrypicked misinformation with heavy, anti western, pro-vegan bias.
They do not control for factors such as genetics and they compare small, genetically homogenous populations with the United States, the most diverse country in the world.....
They also fail to mention that Asian Americans throughout the united states have similar or BETTER life expectancy than Okinawans. this is a much larger, much more genetically diverse group and they are doing as good or BETTER than the okinawans......
NONE of these blue zone populations are STRICT VEGAN, the people who make it to 100+ follow a clean, OMNIVORE diet.....they are NOT VEGAN. Yet the blue zone proponents will try and tell you that veganism is the only way to make it to 100......even though there is not 1 single, living person on this earth right now who is over 100 years old and claims to be a strict vegan.
(and no, none of them are strict carnivores either!)

No one talks about the average sleep time of people in the Blue Zones. It must be an important factor in their longevity as well.
