The longevity diet is simply eating what nature intended us to thus
ensuring a healthier and longer life
Animals in the wild
eating their natural
diet live an average of
ten times the number
of years it takes them
to reach maturity

Meanwhile most
humansrsquo lifespan is
barely five times the number of years it takes to reach maturity
The Longevity Diet How long should we be living
Steve Charter in Eat More Raw A guide for health and sustainability cites
Dr Joel Wallach who emphasises the scientifically accepted view that the
genetic potential for longevity in humans suggests we should live to around
120 to 140 years old
Dr Wallach lists a few more cases to further support this including Russian
Georgians who commonly live to 120 and the Armenians and Ebkanians
where living to 140 is not uncommon
He cites one Armenian who from his military records is thought to have
lived to 167 years old and the Titicaca Indians of south-east Peru who lived
to between 120-140 years old Therersquos also the case of the Niger chief who
died at 126 with all his teeth and a Syrian in the Guinness Book of Records
who fathered 9 children after 80 and went on to live to 133
Put into context the average age for Americans was 755 years old in 1994
For doctors it was 58 Dr Wallach suggest that these figures suggest that
there is great value in treating yourself (through nutritional and lifestyle
changes) rather than putting your health in the hands of doctors
If you think about it logically the reason therersquos such a difference in our
lifespan (compared to chimpanzees or those who manage to live to a ripe old
age) is that we are not eating our natural diet

In this article Irsquoll discuss some of the longest-living tribes and what the
commonalities are in terms of their diet and lifestyle what I term the
longevity diet
Bad men live that they may eat and drink whereas good men eat and drink
that they may live
- Socrates
The longevity diet Diet of the longest-living cultures
John Robbins in Healthy at 100 The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the
Worlds Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples describes the lifestyles and
dietary patterns of the long-lived cultures of the Abkhasia of Southern
Russia the Vicalbamba Indians of the Ecuadorian Andes and the Hunza of
North Pakistan
He found that the percentage of calories they obtained daily was between
69-73 carbohydrates 15-18 from fat and 10-13 from protein
Overall daily calories ranged between 1700 -1800 while the Abkhasia ate
90 plant foods and the Vilcabamba and Hunza ate 99 plant foods
All three ate low amounts of salt zero sugar or processed food and had no
incidence of obesity and other common diseases
He also discussed the Okinawa who though eating a more animal-based
diet had a similar lifestyle
I highly encourage you to read this book or if you need a taste of what itrsquos
about read this review of Healthy at 100 which includes a preview of the
fascinating first chapter

Now lets analyse each of these centenarian-rich cultures and see what else
they have in common
The Longevity Diet The Abkhasia
Once known as the longevity capital of the world Abkhasiarsquos people live in
the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia
The Abkhasia has many centenarians all in remarkable health attests Dr
Leaf professor of clinical medicine at Harvard University and Chief of
Medical Services at Massachusetts General Hospital who undertook a study
with National Geographic to verify their claims
The Abkhasia primarily eat fresh fruit and vegetables (picked fresh and eaten

near to immediately) as well as nuts and some whole grains The Abkhasia
consume very few animal products which include a fermented beverage
called matzoni made from cow goat or sheeprsquos milk and more rarely fresh
meat with the fat removed
As mountain-
dwellers the
Abkhasia spend
every day going
up and down the
mountain which
keeps them fit no
matter what their
age
Older members of
the community
are valued and
respected and
thus the Abkhasia
look forward to
growing old in
sharp contrast
with Western
societies

The Longevity Diet The Vilcabamba
A small village in Southern Ecuador located in an elevated valley Vilcabamba
is extremely inaccessible This remoteness ensures that the Vilcabambarsquos are
highly active hiking regularly they work in the fields cultivating their land
and harvesting fruit and vegetables which they eat freshly-picked
Though they eat some cooked (whole) grains all their vegetables nuts and
seeds are raw There are almost no animal products to be found in their diet
and no packaged or pre-prepared food
There is a strong sense of community amongst Vilcabamba laughter and
simple pleasure in every moment of their lives enriched with a spiritual
outlook The Vilcabamba look forward to their elderly years as their
community values and respects old age
This leads to some Vilcabambarsquos exaggerating their age which causes
confusion amongst researchers who aim to verify their claims However
regardless of their exact age there can be no doubt that the Vilcabambarsquos
live longer happier more vigorous and healthy lives than most Westerners
with some living up to 110 and beyond active to the last
The video below shows 99-year old Agustin Jaramillo dancing with tourists
on the main plaza of Vilcabamba Though Vicalbamba has changed much with
time its clear its elders retain their zest for life
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
The Longevity Diet The Hunza
The Hunza live a simple life in a fertile valley high up in the mountains
isolated from the rest of the world The rough terrain of their mountainous
abode ensures they walk up and down rigid peaks keeping them fit and
active
They also work hard at cultivating their land which provides them with
enough high-quality produce to thrive into their old age
British physician Sir Robert McCarrison stated that the Hunza were
unsurpassed in perfection of physique and in freedom from disease in
general The span of life is extraordinarily long During the seven years I
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
spent in their midstI never saw a case of asthenic dyspepsia of gastric or
duodenal ulcer or appendicitis of mucous colitis or cancer
The Hunza eat primarily fresh fruit for most of the year and keep large stores
of dried fruit to last throughout the winter In the summer their diet is as
much as 80 raw while in the winter they eat cooked beans corn root
vegetables and squash as well as and sprouts
Due to a scarcity of wood in their remote mountain valley the Hunzarsquos avoid
cooking as much as possible Though they do eat small amount of meat and
dairy on rare occasions itrsquos an exception as they have no grazing pastures
for animals
Much like the Vicalbamba and Abkhasia the Hunzakuts have a strong sense
of community where everyone is valued for their contribution
The below video depicts the Hunzas living out their simple lives surrounded
by sublime scenery
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
itrsquos perhaps no surprise that they have a strong connection with nature and
are very spiritual
Boisterious enthusiastic and with an almost child-like appreciation for their
simple lives the Hunza certainly have a lot to teach our supposedly evolved
society
The Longevity Diet The Okinawa
Another famous long-living tribe is that of the Okinawa who energetically
live out their long lives on islands in Japan Known as the land of the
immortals Okinawa boasts 900 people aged 100 or over the highest number
of verified centenarians in the world
Those who live there who eat most of their food lightly steamed While they
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
do eat small amounts of animal products they consume it mostly raw such
as fresh fish They eat more tofu and soya products than any other
population in the world and a vast amount of different vegetables and fruit
The Okinawans are physically active and have a stress-minimising spiritual
outlook They live mostly in villages allowing for a relaxed and rural way of
life with a strong sense of community sharing the joys and hardships of
their lives
They have a deep respect for age with elders playing an important role in
the community
The video below depicts Okinawas seniors (from 90 years upwards) engaging
in various activities 90-year old Tusne Ganaha climbs trees to pick fruit
while other elders actively run dance and do karate
Though I can write another page on the Okinawans alone I encourage you
to visit the Okinawa Centenarian study for further information

The Longevity Diet Lessons from the worldrsquos longest-livingsocieties
By now it should be clear that the longevity diet includes some common
denominators These are
Diet including whole mostly vegan organic food with minimal animal
products and fat
Vitamin D and exercise
Strong community values
Spirituality and a sense of purpose
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine water rest and air
Exercise and diet
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind theyll ease
Your will theyll mend
And charge you not a shilling
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields What the River Knows 1990
Longevity Diet lesson 1 Whole organic fresh food
One of the most striking characteristics of the longevity diet is that these
long-living societies eat mostly vegan whole organic and freshly-picked
food
Though they include some animal products they depend on locally-farmed
organic plant-based food for their survival (and apparent health)
The longevity diet is high in natural carbohydrates low in protein and fat
and includes minimal amounts of fermented foods Because it is largely raw
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
it contains lots of fibre and is replete with nutrients and enzymes you get
from fresh raw food
Whatrsquos more therersquos no such thing as processed food pre-packaged or pre-
cooked microwave meals ever They farm organically using no pesticides
chemicals or fertilisers and of course by not buying pre-made food you
exclude GM foods additives colourings preservatives and high salt
consumption
Itrsquos also the most diet that does the most to save the earth because
therersquos no packaging (thus no waste) no fossil fuels used for transportation
and most often itrsquos eaten in itrsquos pure natural form (thus saving energy used
on cooking)
So learn the valuable lesson these cultures teach us If you want to live a
long and healthy life cut out the processed junk and eat as naturally as
possible Cut down on your meat and dairy consumption or go vegan and
ultimately try eating more (or 100) raw food
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human
blessings Let food be your medicine
- Hippocrates
Longevity Diet lesson 2 Vitamin D and exercise
I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult
Dr Sun more
-Henry Ward Beecher
Each of these cultures has another thing in common and that is exercise and
sunlight Because theyrsquore often outdoors cultivating harvesting and
hiking they are getting ample Vitamin D essential for health and energy
The Vicalbamba Abkhasia Hunza and Okinawa also share a fairly heavy
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
workload (by modern standards) As a result they are always fit athletic
trim and muscular something we all aspire to
So try and exercise consistently every day and if possible do so outdoors
Getting at least 20 minutes of sunlight every day is indispensable for health
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness
- Edward Smith-Stanley
Longevity Diet lesson 3 Strong community values
These tribes share a connection to nature and to the environment They
work closely with the land and frequently interact with each other
They have a strong sense of community and value the contributions of each
and every person no matter how young or old Socially active they form
close bonds with neighbours acquaintances and family members
Our Western society is very different We stick to our own keep to
ourselves and most of us donrsquot even know (or acknowledge) our neighbours
Perhaps itrsquos time to question what wersquore missing out on by living a typical
urban lifestyle and embrace a stronger sense of community even if just by
joining some common-interest groups
Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity
- World Health Organization
The Longevity Diet lesson 4 Spirituality and a sense ofpurpose
Everyone in these communities is purposefully engaged even at old age
Whether it be farming healing (medicinalherbal) or spiritual advancement
building collecting water or harvesting food everyone has a role to play
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
that enriches the community
There is no such thing as greed or self-interest Whatrsquos more no matter
what religion or spiritual practice they follow they believe in something
greater than themselves
They connect with the spiritual plane as well as the physical and this gives
them faith to endure any hardships they may suffer without complaint
They have a positive outlook and enjoy their simple lives surrounding each
other with love and laughter
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body mind and spirit When
one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions the gates of
the soul open
- BKS Iyengar
The Longevity Diet Conclusions
Itrsquos clear that the diet of and lifestyle of these cultures makes them immune
to the top killers in the West heart disease cancer stroke chronic
pulmonary disease pneumoniaflu diabetes liver diseasecirrhosis suicide
and Alzheimerrsquos
Whats more these groupsrsquo healthful propensity for longevity isnrsquot just a win
at the genetic lottery as demonstrated by the Okinawans who grew up in
other countries During the 20th century 100000 Okinawans migrated to
Brazil where they adopted the typical (meat-based) Brazilian diet
A study called the Impact of diet on the cardiovascular risk profile of
Japanese immigrants living in Brazil revealed that Okinawans average
lifespan decreased by 17 years when exposed to a Western lifestyle As
their youth adopted a Western diet (replete with fast food) obesity levels
cardiovascular disease and premature deaths reached record highs in Japan

So if you really want to acheive long-lasting health and virality try and
incorporate some of the lessons of the longevity diet in your lifestyle For
your efforts youll acheive the greatest reward - a life filled with joy
happiness and abundant health right up to your old age
The greatest wealth is health

John Robbins in Healthy at 100 The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the
Worlds Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples describes the lifestyles and
dietary patterns of the long-lived cultures of the Abkhasia of Southern
Russia the Vicalbamba Indians of the Ecuadorian Andes and the Hunza of
North Pakistan
He found that the percentage of calories they obtained daily was between
69-73 carbohydrates 15-18 from fat and 10-13 from protein
Overall daily calories ranged between 1700 -1800 while the Abkhasia ate
90 plant foods and the Vilcabamba and Hunza ate 99 plant foods
All three ate low amounts of salt zero sugar or processed food and had no
incidence of obesity and other common diseases
He also discussed the Okinawa who though eating a more animal-based

workload (by modern standards) As a result they are always fit athletic

So try and exercise consistently every day and if possible do so outdoors
Getting at least 20 minutes of sunlight every day is indispensable for health
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness

Longevity Diet lesson 3 Strong community values
These tribes share a connection to nature and to the environment They
work closely with the land and frequently interact with each other
They have a strong sense of community and value the contributions of each
and every person no matter how young or old Socially active they form
close bonds with neighbours acquaintances and family members
Our Western society is very different We stick to our own keep to
ourselves and most of us donrsquot even know (or acknowledge) our neighbours
Perhaps itrsquos time to question what wersquore missing out on by living a typical
urban lifestyle and embrace a stronger sense of community even if just by
joining some common-interest groups
Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity
- World Health Organization
The Longevity Diet lesson 4 Spirituality and a sense ofpurpose
Everyone in these communities is purposefully engaged even at old age
Whether it be farming healing (medicinalherbal) or spiritual advancement
building collecting water or harvesting food everyone has a role to play
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
that enriches the community
There is no such thing as greed or self-interest Whatrsquos more no matter
what religion or spiritual practice they follow they believe in something
greater than themselves
They connect with the spiritual plane as well as the physical and this gives
them faith to endure any hardships they may suffer without complaint
They have a positive outlook and enjoy their simple lives surrounding each
other with love and laughter
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body mind and spirit When
one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions the gates of
the soul open
- BKS Iyengar
The Longevity Diet Conclusions
Itrsquos clear that the diet of and lifestyle of these cultures makes them immune
to the top killers in the West heart disease cancer stroke chronic
pulmonary disease pneumoniaflu diabetes liver diseasecirrhosis suicide
and Alzheimerrsquos
Whats more these groupsrsquo healthful propensity for longevity isnrsquot just a win
at the genetic lottery as demonstrated by the Okinawans who grew up in
other countries During the 20th century 100000 Okinawans migrated to
Brazil where they adopted the typical (meat-based) Brazilian diet
A study called the Impact of diet on the cardiovascular risk profile of
Japanese immigrants living in Brazil revealed that Okinawans average
lifespan decreased by 17 years when exposed to a Western lifestyle As
their youth adopted a Western diet (replete with fast food) obesity levels
cardiovascular disease and premature deaths reached record highs in Japan

In this article Irsquoll discuss some of the longest-living tribes and what the
commonalities are in terms of their diet and lifestyle what I term the
longevity diet
Bad men live that they may eat and drink whereas good men eat and drink
that they may live
- Socrates
The longevity diet Diet of the longest-living cultures
John Robbins in Healthy at 100 The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the
Worlds Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples describes the lifestyles and
dietary patterns of the long-lived cultures of the Abkhasia of Southern
Russia the Vicalbamba Indians of the Ecuadorian Andes and the Hunza of
North Pakistan
He found that the percentage of calories they obtained daily was between
69-73 carbohydrates 15-18 from fat and 10-13 from protein
Overall daily calories ranged between 1700 -1800 while the Abkhasia ate
90 plant foods and the Vilcabamba and Hunza ate 99 plant foods
All three ate low amounts of salt zero sugar or processed food and had no
incidence of obesity and other common diseases
He also discussed the Okinawa who though eating a more animal-based
diet had a similar lifestyle
I highly encourage you to read this book or if you need a taste of what itrsquos
about read this review of Healthy at 100 which includes a preview of the
fascinating first chapter

consume very few animal products which include a fermented beverage
called matzoni made from cow goat or sheeprsquos milk and more rarely fresh
meat with the fat removed

The Longevity Diet The Vilcabamba
A small village in Southern Ecuador located in an elevated valley Vilcabamba
is extremely inaccessible This remoteness ensures that the Vilcabambarsquos are
highly active hiking regularly they work in the fields cultivating their land
and harvesting fruit and vegetables which they eat freshly-picked
Though they eat some cooked (whole) grains all their vegetables nuts and
seeds are raw There are almost no animal products to be found in their diet
and no packaged or pre-prepared food
There is a strong sense of community amongst Vilcabamba laughter and
simple pleasure in every moment of their lives enriched with a spiritual
outlook The Vilcabamba look forward to their elderly years as their
community values and respects old age
This leads to some Vilcabambarsquos exaggerating their age which causes
confusion amongst researchers who aim to verify their claims However
regardless of their exact age there can be no doubt that the Vilcabambarsquos
live longer happier more vigorous and healthy lives than most Westerners
with some living up to 110 and beyond active to the last
The video below shows 99-year old Agustin Jaramillo dancing with tourists
on the main plaza of Vilcabamba Though Vicalbamba has changed much with
time its clear its elders retain their zest for life

The Longevity Diet The Hunza
The Hunza live a simple life in a fertile valley high up in the mountains
isolated from the rest of the world The rough terrain of their mountainous
abode ensures they walk up and down rigid peaks keeping them fit and
active
They also work hard at cultivating their land which provides them with
enough high-quality produce to thrive into their old age
British physician Sir Robert McCarrison stated that the Hunza were
unsurpassed in perfection of physique and in freedom from disease in
general The span of life is extraordinarily long During the seven years I
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
spent in their midstI never saw a case of asthenic dyspepsia of gastric or
duodenal ulcer or appendicitis of mucous colitis or cancer
The Hunza eat primarily fresh fruit for most of the year and keep large stores
of dried fruit to last throughout the winter In the summer their diet is as
much as 80 raw while in the winter they eat cooked beans corn root
vegetables and squash as well as and sprouts
Due to a scarcity of wood in their remote mountain valley the Hunzarsquos avoid
cooking as much as possible Though they do eat small amount of meat and
dairy on rare occasions itrsquos an exception as they have no grazing pastures
for animals
Much like the Vicalbamba and Abkhasia the Hunzakuts have a strong sense
of community where everyone is valued for their contribution
The below video depicts the Hunzas living out their simple lives surrounded
by sublime scenery
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
itrsquos perhaps no surprise that they have a strong connection with nature and
are very spiritual
Boisterious enthusiastic and with an almost child-like appreciation for their
simple lives the Hunza certainly have a lot to teach our supposedly evolved
society
The Longevity Diet The Okinawa
Another famous long-living tribe is that of the Okinawa who energetically
live out their long lives on islands in Japan Known as the land of the
immortals Okinawa boasts 900 people aged 100 or over the highest number
of verified centenarians in the world
Those who live there who eat most of their food lightly steamed While they
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
do eat small amounts of animal products they consume it mostly raw such
as fresh fish They eat more tofu and soya products than any other
population in the world and a vast amount of different vegetables and fruit
The Okinawans are physically active and have a stress-minimising spiritual
outlook They live mostly in villages allowing for a relaxed and rural way of
life with a strong sense of community sharing the joys and hardships of
their lives
They have a deep respect for age with elders playing an important role in
the community
The video below depicts Okinawas seniors (from 90 years upwards) engaging
in various activities 90-year old Tusne Ganaha climbs trees to pick fruit
while other elders actively run dance and do karate
Though I can write another page on the Okinawans alone I encourage you

The Longevity Diet Lessons from the worldrsquos longest-livingsocieties
By now it should be clear that the longevity diet includes some common
denominators These are
Diet including whole mostly vegan organic food with minimal animal
products and fat
Vitamin D and exercise
Strong community values
Spirituality and a sense of purpose
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine water rest and air
Exercise and diet
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind theyll ease
Your will theyll mend
And charge you not a shilling
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields What the River Knows 1990
Longevity Diet lesson 1 Whole organic fresh food
One of the most striking characteristics of the longevity diet is that these
long-living societies eat mostly vegan whole organic and freshly-picked
food
Though they include some animal products they depend on locally-farmed
organic plant-based food for their survival (and apparent health)
The longevity diet is high in natural carbohydrates low in protein and fat
and includes minimal amounts of fermented foods Because it is largely raw
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
it contains lots of fibre and is replete with nutrients and enzymes you get
from fresh raw food
Whatrsquos more therersquos no such thing as processed food pre-packaged or pre-
cooked microwave meals ever They farm organically using no pesticides
chemicals or fertilisers and of course by not buying pre-made food you
exclude GM foods additives colourings preservatives and high salt
consumption
Itrsquos also the most diet that does the most to save the earth because
therersquos no packaging (thus no waste) no fossil fuels used for transportation
and most often itrsquos eaten in itrsquos pure natural form (thus saving energy used
on cooking)
So learn the valuable lesson these cultures teach us If you want to live a
long and healthy life cut out the processed junk and eat as naturally as
possible Cut down on your meat and dairy consumption or go vegan and
ultimately try eating more (or 100) raw food
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human
blessings Let food be your medicine
- Hippocrates
Longevity Diet lesson 2 Vitamin D and exercise
I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult
Dr Sun more
-Henry Ward Beecher
Each of these cultures has another thing in common and that is exercise and
sunlight Because theyrsquore often outdoors cultivating harvesting and
hiking they are getting ample Vitamin D essential for health and energy
The Vicalbamba Abkhasia Hunza and Okinawa also share a fairly heavy

workload (by modern standards) As a result they are always fit athletic
trim and muscular something we all aspire to
So try and exercise consistently every day and if possible do so outdoors
Getting at least 20 minutes of sunlight every day is indispensable for health
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness

Longevity Diet lesson 3 Strong community values
These tribes share a connection to nature and to the environment They
work closely with the land and frequently interact with each other
They have a strong sense of community and value the contributions of each
and every person no matter how young or old Socially active they form
close bonds with neighbours acquaintances and family members
Our Western society is very different We stick to our own keep to
ourselves and most of us donrsquot even know (or acknowledge) our neighbours
Perhaps itrsquos time to question what wersquore missing out on by living a typical
urban lifestyle and embrace a stronger sense of community even if just by
joining some common-interest groups
Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity
- World Health Organization

that enriches the community
There is no such thing as greed or self-interest Whatrsquos more no matter
what religion or spiritual practice they follow they believe in something
greater than themselves
They connect with the spiritual plane as well as the physical and this gives
them faith to endure any hardships they may suffer without complaint
They have a positive outlook and enjoy their simple lives surrounding each
other with love and laughter
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body mind and spirit When
one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions the gates of
the soul open
- BKS Iyengar
The Longevity Diet Conclusions
Itrsquos clear that the diet of and lifestyle of these cultures makes them immune
to the top killers in the West heart disease cancer stroke chronic
pulmonary disease pneumoniaflu diabetes liver diseasecirrhosis suicide
and Alzheimerrsquos
Whats more these groupsrsquo healthful propensity for longevity isnrsquot just a win
at the genetic lottery as demonstrated by the Okinawans who grew up in
other countries During the 20th century 100000 Okinawans migrated to
Brazil where they adopted the typical (meat-based) Brazilian diet
A study called the Impact of diet on the cardiovascular risk profile of
Japanese immigrants living in Brazil revealed that Okinawans average
lifespan decreased by 17 years when exposed to a Western lifestyle As
their youth adopted a Western diet (replete with fast food) obesity levels
cardiovascular disease and premature deaths reached record highs in Japan

The Longevity Diet The Vilcabamba
A small village in Southern Ecuador located in an elevated valley Vilcabamba
is extremely inaccessible This remoteness ensures that the Vilcabambarsquos are
highly active hiking regularly they work in the fields cultivating their land
and harvesting fruit and vegetables which they eat freshly-picked
Though they eat some cooked (whole) grains all their vegetables nuts and
seeds are raw There are almost no animal products to be found in their diet
and no packaged or pre-prepared food
There is a strong sense of community amongst Vilcabamba laughter and
simple pleasure in every moment of their lives enriched with a spiritual
outlook The Vilcabamba look forward to their elderly years as their
community values and respects old age
This leads to some Vilcabambarsquos exaggerating their age which causes
confusion amongst researchers who aim to verify their claims However
regardless of their exact age there can be no doubt that the Vilcabambarsquos
live longer happier more vigorous and healthy lives than most Westerners
with some living up to 110 and beyond active to the last
The video below shows 99-year old Agustin Jaramillo dancing with tourists

The Longevity Diet The Hunza
The Hunza live a simple life in a fertile valley high up in the mountains
isolated from the rest of the world The rough terrain of their mountainous
abode ensures they walk up and down rigid peaks keeping them fit and
active
They also work hard at cultivating their land which provides them with
enough high-quality produce to thrive into their old age
British physician Sir Robert McCarrison stated that the Hunza were
unsurpassed in perfection of physique and in freedom from disease in
general The span of life is extraordinarily long During the seven years I

spent in their midstI never saw a case of asthenic dyspepsia of gastric or
duodenal ulcer or appendicitis of mucous colitis or cancer
The Hunza eat primarily fresh fruit for most of the year and keep large stores
of dried fruit to last throughout the winter In the summer their diet is as
much as 80 raw while in the winter they eat cooked beans corn root
vegetables and squash as well as and sprouts
Due to a scarcity of wood in their remote mountain valley the Hunzarsquos avoid
cooking as much as possible Though they do eat small amount of meat and
dairy on rare occasions itrsquos an exception as they have no grazing pastures
for animals
Much like the Vicalbamba and Abkhasia the Hunzakuts have a strong sense
of community where everyone is valued for their contribution
The below video depicts the Hunzas living out their simple lives surrounded
by sublime scenery
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
itrsquos perhaps no surprise that they have a strong connection with nature and
are very spiritual
Boisterious enthusiastic and with an almost child-like appreciation for their
simple lives the Hunza certainly have a lot to teach our supposedly evolved
society
The Longevity Diet The Okinawa
Another famous long-living tribe is that of the Okinawa who energetically
live out their long lives on islands in Japan Known as the land of the
immortals Okinawa boasts 900 people aged 100 or over the highest number
of verified centenarians in the world
Those who live there who eat most of their food lightly steamed While they
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
do eat small amounts of animal products they consume it mostly raw such
as fresh fish They eat more tofu and soya products than any other
population in the world and a vast amount of different vegetables and fruit
The Okinawans are physically active and have a stress-minimising spiritual
outlook They live mostly in villages allowing for a relaxed and rural way of
life with a strong sense of community sharing the joys and hardships of
their lives
They have a deep respect for age with elders playing an important role in
the community
The video below depicts Okinawas seniors (from 90 years upwards) engaging
in various activities 90-year old Tusne Ganaha climbs trees to pick fruit
while other elders actively run dance and do karate
Though I can write another page on the Okinawans alone I encourage you

The Longevity Diet Lessons from the worldrsquos longest-livingsocieties
By now it should be clear that the longevity diet includes some common
denominators These are
Diet including whole mostly vegan organic food with minimal animal
products and fat
Vitamin D and exercise
Strong community values
Spirituality and a sense of purpose
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine water rest and air
Exercise and diet
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind theyll ease
Your will theyll mend
And charge you not a shilling
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields What the River Knows 1990
Longevity Diet lesson 1 Whole organic fresh food
One of the most striking characteristics of the longevity diet is that these
long-living societies eat mostly vegan whole organic and freshly-picked
food
Though they include some animal products they depend on locally-farmed
organic plant-based food for their survival (and apparent health)
The longevity diet is high in natural carbohydrates low in protein and fat
and includes minimal amounts of fermented foods Because it is largely raw
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
it contains lots of fibre and is replete with nutrients and enzymes you get
from fresh raw food
Whatrsquos more therersquos no such thing as processed food pre-packaged or pre-
cooked microwave meals ever They farm organically using no pesticides
chemicals or fertilisers and of course by not buying pre-made food you
exclude GM foods additives colourings preservatives and high salt
consumption
Itrsquos also the most diet that does the most to save the earth because
therersquos no packaging (thus no waste) no fossil fuels used for transportation
and most often itrsquos eaten in itrsquos pure natural form (thus saving energy used
on cooking)
So learn the valuable lesson these cultures teach us If you want to live a
long and healthy life cut out the processed junk and eat as naturally as
possible Cut down on your meat and dairy consumption or go vegan and
ultimately try eating more (or 100) raw food
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human
blessings Let food be your medicine
- Hippocrates
Longevity Diet lesson 2 Vitamin D and exercise
I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult
Dr Sun more
-Henry Ward Beecher
Each of these cultures has another thing in common and that is exercise and
sunlight Because theyrsquore often outdoors cultivating harvesting and
hiking they are getting ample Vitamin D essential for health and energy
The Vicalbamba Abkhasia Hunza and Okinawa also share a fairly heavy
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
workload (by modern standards) As a result they are always fit athletic
trim and muscular something we all aspire to
So try and exercise consistently every day and if possible do so outdoors
Getting at least 20 minutes of sunlight every day is indispensable for health
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness
- Edward Smith-Stanley

The Longevity Diet The Hunza
The Hunza live a simple life in a fertile valley high up in the mountains
isolated from the rest of the world The rough terrain of their mountainous
abode ensures they walk up and down rigid peaks keeping them fit and
active
They also work hard at cultivating their land which provides them with
enough high-quality produce to thrive into their old age
British physician Sir Robert McCarrison stated that the Hunza were
unsurpassed in perfection of physique and in freedom from disease in
general The span of life is extraordinarily long During the seven years I

spent in their midstI never saw a case of asthenic dyspepsia of gastric or
duodenal ulcer or appendicitis of mucous colitis or cancer
The Hunza eat primarily fresh fruit for most of the year and keep large stores
of dried fruit to last throughout the winter In the summer their diet is as
much as 80 raw while in the winter they eat cooked beans corn root
vegetables and squash as well as and sprouts
Due to a scarcity of wood in their remote mountain valley the Hunzarsquos avoid
cooking as much as possible Though they do eat small amount of meat and
dairy on rare occasions itrsquos an exception as they have no grazing pastures
for animals
Much like the Vicalbamba and Abkhasia the Hunzakuts have a strong sense
of community where everyone is valued for their contribution
The below video depicts the Hunzas living out their simple lives surrounded
by sublime scenery
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
itrsquos perhaps no surprise that they have a strong connection with nature and
are very spiritual
Boisterious enthusiastic and with an almost child-like appreciation for their
simple lives the Hunza certainly have a lot to teach our supposedly evolved
society
The Longevity Diet The Okinawa
Another famous long-living tribe is that of the Okinawa who energetically
live out their long lives on islands in Japan Known as the land of the
immortals Okinawa boasts 900 people aged 100 or over the highest number
of verified centenarians in the world
Those who live there who eat most of their food lightly steamed While they
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
do eat small amounts of animal products they consume it mostly raw such
as fresh fish They eat more tofu and soya products than any other
population in the world and a vast amount of different vegetables and fruit
The Okinawans are physically active and have a stress-minimising spiritual
outlook They live mostly in villages allowing for a relaxed and rural way of
life with a strong sense of community sharing the joys and hardships of
their lives
They have a deep respect for age with elders playing an important role in
the community
The video below depicts Okinawas seniors (from 90 years upwards) engaging
in various activities 90-year old Tusne Ganaha climbs trees to pick fruit
while other elders actively run dance and do karate

The Longevity Diet Lessons from the worldrsquos longest-livingsocieties
By now it should be clear that the longevity diet includes some common
denominators These are
Diet including whole mostly vegan organic food with minimal animal
products and fat
Vitamin D and exercise
Strong community values
Spirituality and a sense of purpose
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine water rest and air
Exercise and diet
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind theyll ease
Your will theyll mend
And charge you not a shilling
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields What the River Knows 1990
Longevity Diet lesson 1 Whole organic fresh food
One of the most striking characteristics of the longevity diet is that these
long-living societies eat mostly vegan whole organic and freshly-picked
food
Though they include some animal products they depend on locally-farmed
organic plant-based food for their survival (and apparent health)
The longevity diet is high in natural carbohydrates low in protein and fat
and includes minimal amounts of fermented foods Because it is largely raw
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
it contains lots of fibre and is replete with nutrients and enzymes you get
from fresh raw food
Whatrsquos more therersquos no such thing as processed food pre-packaged or pre-
cooked microwave meals ever They farm organically using no pesticides
chemicals or fertilisers and of course by not buying pre-made food you
exclude GM foods additives colourings preservatives and high salt
consumption
Itrsquos also the most diet that does the most to save the earth because
therersquos no packaging (thus no waste) no fossil fuels used for transportation
and most often itrsquos eaten in itrsquos pure natural form (thus saving energy used
on cooking)
So learn the valuable lesson these cultures teach us If you want to live a
long and healthy life cut out the processed junk and eat as naturally as
possible Cut down on your meat and dairy consumption or go vegan and
ultimately try eating more (or 100) raw food
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human
blessings Let food be your medicine
- Hippocrates
Longevity Diet lesson 2 Vitamin D and exercise
I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult
Dr Sun more
-Henry Ward Beecher
Each of these cultures has another thing in common and that is exercise and
sunlight Because theyrsquore often outdoors cultivating harvesting and
hiking they are getting ample Vitamin D essential for health and energy
The Vicalbamba Abkhasia Hunza and Okinawa also share a fairly heavy
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
workload (by modern standards) As a result they are always fit athletic
trim and muscular something we all aspire to
So try and exercise consistently every day and if possible do so outdoors
Getting at least 20 minutes of sunlight every day is indispensable for health
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness
- Edward Smith-Stanley
Longevity Diet lesson 3 Strong community values
These tribes share a connection to nature and to the environment They
work closely with the land and frequently interact with each other
They have a strong sense of community and value the contributions of each
and every person no matter how young or old Socially active they form
close bonds with neighbours acquaintances and family members
Our Western society is very different We stick to our own keep to
ourselves and most of us donrsquot even know (or acknowledge) our neighbours
Perhaps itrsquos time to question what wersquore missing out on by living a typical
urban lifestyle and embrace a stronger sense of community even if just by
joining some common-interest groups
Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity
- World Health Organization
The Longevity Diet lesson 4 Spirituality and a sense ofpurpose
Everyone in these communities is purposefully engaged even at old age
Whether it be farming healing (medicinalherbal) or spiritual advancement
building collecting water or harvesting food everyone has a role to play
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
that enriches the community
There is no such thing as greed or self-interest Whatrsquos more no matter
what religion or spiritual practice they follow they believe in something
greater than themselves
They connect with the spiritual plane as well as the physical and this gives
them faith to endure any hardships they may suffer without complaint
They have a positive outlook and enjoy their simple lives surrounding each
other with love and laughter
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body mind and spirit When
one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions the gates of
the soul open
- BKS Iyengar
The Longevity Diet Conclusions
Itrsquos clear that the diet of and lifestyle of these cultures makes them immune
to the top killers in the West heart disease cancer stroke chronic
pulmonary disease pneumoniaflu diabetes liver diseasecirrhosis suicide
and Alzheimerrsquos
Whats more these groupsrsquo healthful propensity for longevity isnrsquot just a win
at the genetic lottery as demonstrated by the Okinawans who grew up in
other countries During the 20th century 100000 Okinawans migrated to
Brazil where they adopted the typical (meat-based) Brazilian diet
A study called the Impact of diet on the cardiovascular risk profile of
Japanese immigrants living in Brazil revealed that Okinawans average
lifespan decreased by 17 years when exposed to a Western lifestyle As
their youth adopted a Western diet (replete with fast food) obesity levels
cardiovascular disease and premature deaths reached record highs in Japan
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
So if you really want to acheive long-lasting health and virality try and
incorporate some of the lessons of the longevity diet in your lifestyle For
your efforts youll acheive the greatest reward - a life filled with joy
happiness and abundant health right up to your old age
The greatest wealth is health

do eat small amounts of animal products they consume it mostly raw such
as fresh fish They eat more tofu and soya products than any other
population in the world and a vast amount of different vegetables and fruit
The Okinawans are physically active and have a stress-minimising spiritual
outlook They live mostly in villages allowing for a relaxed and rural way of
life with a strong sense of community sharing the joys and hardships of
their lives
They have a deep respect for age with elders playing an important role in
the community
The video below depicts Okinawas seniors (from 90 years upwards) engaging
in various activities 90-year old Tusne Ganaha climbs trees to pick fruit
while other elders actively run dance and do karate
Though I can write another page on the Okinawans alone I encourage you
to visit the Okinawa Centenarian study for further information

The Longevity Diet Lessons from the worldrsquos longest-livingsocieties
By now it should be clear that the longevity diet includes some common
denominators These are
Diet including whole mostly vegan organic food with minimal animal
products and fat
Vitamin D and exercise
Strong community values
Spirituality and a sense of purpose
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine water rest and air
Exercise and diet
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind theyll ease
Your will theyll mend
And charge you not a shilling
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields What the River Knows 1990
Longevity Diet lesson 1 Whole organic fresh food
One of the most striking characteristics of the longevity diet is that these
long-living societies eat mostly vegan whole organic and freshly-picked
food
Though they include some animal products they depend on locally-farmed
organic plant-based food for their survival (and apparent health)
The longevity diet is high in natural carbohydrates low in protein and fat
and includes minimal amounts of fermented foods Because it is largely raw
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
it contains lots of fibre and is replete with nutrients and enzymes you get
from fresh raw food
Whatrsquos more therersquos no such thing as processed food pre-packaged or pre-
cooked microwave meals ever They farm organically using no pesticides
chemicals or fertilisers and of course by not buying pre-made food you
exclude GM foods additives colourings preservatives and high salt
consumption
Itrsquos also the most diet that does the most to save the earth because
therersquos no packaging (thus no waste) no fossil fuels used for transportation
and most often itrsquos eaten in itrsquos pure natural form (thus saving energy used
on cooking)
So learn the valuable lesson these cultures teach us If you want to live a
long and healthy life cut out the processed junk and eat as naturally as
possible Cut down on your meat and dairy consumption or go vegan and
ultimately try eating more (or 100) raw food
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human
blessings Let food be your medicine
- Hippocrates
Longevity Diet lesson 2 Vitamin D and exercise
I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult
Dr Sun more
-Henry Ward Beecher
Each of these cultures has another thing in common and that is exercise and
sunlight Because theyrsquore often outdoors cultivating harvesting and
hiking they are getting ample Vitamin D essential for health and energy
The Vicalbamba Abkhasia Hunza and Okinawa also share a fairly heavy
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
workload (by modern standards) As a result they are always fit athletic
trim and muscular something we all aspire to
So try and exercise consistently every day and if possible do so outdoors
Getting at least 20 minutes of sunlight every day is indispensable for health
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness
- Edward Smith-Stanley
Longevity Diet lesson 3 Strong community values
These tribes share a connection to nature and to the environment They
work closely with the land and frequently interact with each other
They have a strong sense of community and value the contributions of each
and every person no matter how young or old Socially active they form
close bonds with neighbours acquaintances and family members
Our Western society is very different We stick to our own keep to
ourselves and most of us donrsquot even know (or acknowledge) our neighbours
Perhaps itrsquos time to question what wersquore missing out on by living a typical
urban lifestyle and embrace a stronger sense of community even if just by
joining some common-interest groups
Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity
- World Health Organization
The Longevity Diet lesson 4 Spirituality and a sense ofpurpose
Everyone in these communities is purposefully engaged even at old age
Whether it be farming healing (medicinalherbal) or spiritual advancement
building collecting water or harvesting food everyone has a role to play
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
that enriches the community
There is no such thing as greed or self-interest Whatrsquos more no matter
what religion or spiritual practice they follow they believe in something
greater than themselves
They connect with the spiritual plane as well as the physical and this gives
them faith to endure any hardships they may suffer without complaint
They have a positive outlook and enjoy their simple lives surrounding each
other with love and laughter
Health is a state of complete harmony of the body mind and spirit When
one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions the gates of
the soul open
- BKS Iyengar
The Longevity Diet Conclusions
Itrsquos clear that the diet of and lifestyle of these cultures makes them immune
to the top killers in the West heart disease cancer stroke chronic
pulmonary disease pneumoniaflu diabetes liver diseasecirrhosis suicide
and Alzheimerrsquos
Whats more these groupsrsquo healthful propensity for longevity isnrsquot just a win
at the genetic lottery as demonstrated by the Okinawans who grew up in
other countries During the 20th century 100000 Okinawans migrated to
Brazil where they adopted the typical (meat-based) Brazilian diet
A study called the Impact of diet on the cardiovascular risk profile of
Japanese immigrants living in Brazil revealed that Okinawans average
lifespan decreased by 17 years when exposed to a Western lifestyle As
their youth adopted a Western diet (replete with fast food) obesity levels
cardiovascular disease and premature deaths reached record highs in Japan
pdfcrowdcomopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer Try out the HTML to PDF API
So if you really want to acheive long-lasting health and virality try and
incorporate some of the lessons of the longevity diet in your lifestyle For
your efforts youll acheive the greatest reward - a life filled with joy
happiness and abundant health right up to your old age
The greatest wealth is health
