In my late teens, I became obsessed with health and nutrition—specifically, longevity. As long as I’m physically and mentally healthy, I want to live as long as possible. The problem with this obsession is that there are very few things we know for certain that will help us live longer, but by studying the diets and lifestyles of the world’s longest lived people, as well as the different human and animal studies is a good place to start.
In this video, I explain the “healthy” Okinawan diet in detail. I specifically talk about the foods that contribute to their longevity the most, how they eat them (because that’s also important), foods they don’t eat that most people think belong in a healthy diet, and their habits. Of course, I talk about the other blue zones too. I bring them up throughout the course of the video in key moments as well as important human and animal studies. I also talk about foods that, although not part of the Okinawan diet or any of the blue zones, are also incredibly nutritious and unique.
This is the video that I would have loved to watch back when I was a teen and decided to become as healthy as I possibly could, but had no idea what I was really doing, so if you’re like me, I hope you find this useful.
