Meanwhile most

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
