Living To 100
The Blue Zones is a book by Dan Buettner
which talks about the four areas through out
the word where people live to be over 100
and healthy. In Nicoya Peninsula, Costa
Rica the water that flows through the
hills is hard which means stronger bones and
muscles that work better.
Calcium magnesium will replace that water
for those of us not living there. The
elderly live with their children. Having a
sense of purpose is a key to a long life. I
wrote about having a cause outside ourselves
as a key to being happy.
The people in Nicoya pick fruit off a tree.
They do not eat food for mass distribution.
Corn is soaked in ash which releases
calcium. In Nicoya grinding corn is
exercise. Working outside build up the
quadriceps and even at 99 one man had a flat
belly and a strong chest. Dr. Oz examined
this man who has the lungs and heart of
someone 45 years old. They eat a light
dinner and get a moderate amount of sense.
What we can do is eat eggs, dairy, kale, and
broccoli. We should add Vitamin D to our
regiment. Squats (even just getting up and
down in a straight back posture from a
chair) are one of the most important types
of exercise because they keep our quadriceps
strong.
The people in Sardinia, Italy live long
lives where we find the most males over 100
in the world. Wine, working out in the
fields which isn't stressful or strenuous
but it is low impact cardiovascular work.
They eat cheese (Omega 3), goat milk may
protect us from Alzheimer's and heart
disease. They eat a lean plant based diet
with very little meat. Sardinians walk a
lot, laugh often, and enjoy their families
and friends.
Loma Linda, CA is the place in the
U.S. where people live the longest. Many of
them are Seven Day Adventists who allow God
to take over their lives minimizing worry
and stress. One 94 year old doctor, Dr.
Ellsworth Wareham, is a vegan. This doctor
likes to be around young people. This
particular doctor takes no medications and
still operates. His sense of purpose keeps
him going. He was on the show with his wife
and are truly amazing.
A 103- year old woman, Marge Jetton, lifts
weights and rides a stationary bike. An
optimistic and sensible look at life keep
people healthy. People in Loma Linda eat
nuts, beans, tofu, spaghetti with walnut
balls (recipe can be found at oprah.com),
and lentils. They create a sacred time for
themselves, give back and eat a plant based
diet.
Okinawa, Japan has the healthiest and
longest living people on earth. They have
fewer heart attacks and cancer than we do.
They believe in having a purpose in life.
Headstands and exercise, gardening, social
support networks, eating natural foods
including fish, and most importantly to them
is that the stop eating when they are 80%
full.
