The word "teenager" comes from ages that end in "teen", such as thirteen or fourteen. So if someone lives to be 113, do they become a "teenager" again?
Damned right it does. It comes right after "Second Childhood".

Bittersweet, it’s ironic that I’m so exactly like you. That absolutely defines my life. Now I do interact with my neighbors, and occasionally with the corner store owners and employees. But I’ve only got one true friend, and I haven’t seen him in over 20 years. Plus he lives about 800 miles away. Truth is, I don’t have any desire to live forever. Why? And what would I do? Watch everyone I know die around me? I’ve already lost the two most important people in my life, so each day is just borrowed time.
Right there with you dude
How quirky and randem
Just lost two grandma's within a few months, they were both early 80's. One very active with walks, the other a country lady who didn't go out. They were both happy and seemed healthy, but I think the isolation got to them both. They both knew they were deeply loved and cherished, and I guess that's what really matters.
If they lived in America, they were labeled as covid deaths. Even if they died in a plane crash.

This reminds me of Kane Tanaka, the oldest person in the world - 118 years, 8 months, at the minute. She was interviewed a few years ago, and said she'd quite like to get to 120. Even now, there's somewhere she'd still like to be in a few years' time; I have known a few very old people, closest of all my great-grandad who was 96, and two family friends who made it to 96 and 98 respectively, and this youthful ambition is a consistent theme in those who make it to extreme old age. My great-grandad went out every single day, and he said that the day he didn't go out would be the day he said to the man upstairs, 'I'm ready to go now'. One Sunday afternoon, he went out to the pub for a pint; on the Monday, he didn't fancy it, and on the Wednesday afternoon, he died in his sleep. Can't say fairer than that!
Interestingly, I spent 5 weeks oe one of the islands of Okinawa Japan, living off of mostly very fresh sushi and miso soup. I'd spend a few days a week at an Onsen, a Japanese bath fed by mineral water, and practiced the Ashtanga yoga set for 6 6ays a week for 4 weeks. I lost 30 lbs easily although I was very well-fed. I came back to Canada and continued the yoga, but found it hard not to put the weight on again so I suspect it was probably the quality of local food that was mostly responsible for me losing my pot belly and my extra 30 lbs of weight that I have a hard time working off when I am in Canada. The island life does seem to keep you healthy!
I feel the same way whenever I visit Mexico. Well fed, but the weight goes down!

My grandfather lived more than 130 years .. died around 20 years ago. When I was a teenager, I used to ask him how he could live this long and his answer every time someone ask him about that was ( I don't know, there is no secret but I always make sure of three things:
1-I eat less.
2-I keep moving.
3-Whenever bad things happen I don't get angry and if they are above my ability to stop or change I accept & adapt just like leaving a fire burning the wood to find the next day it became cold ashes and I sleep at night like nothing happened.)
About his eating habits, he used to eat very small portions like a 6 year old even in a tiny dishes, the saucers that come with the espresso cup !! He used to refuse to eat in any normal size or big dishes.
He was a smoker but stopped around his 30s to live a hundred after.
He had a small shop and used to work daily with no help until he died. In the shop he used to roast nuts and spices and had huge grinder for coffee beans and was well known for his special coffee mix across the town. I used to work with him sometimes & I remember getting dizzy when I was roasting Anise :-)... a lot of memories coming to me now, I just miss those days & I miss him soo much. He was the only person who stood up for me and everything went down hell after he passed.
I'm 40 & until now I find new things I learned from him but I didn't know when I was young with him alive. I just remembered funny thing he used to do, he used to send me to buy salted nuts from some warehouses where they sell only bulk, then when I come back he ask me to filter out the salt using steel mesh from the 25kg bag of nuts to find out at the end 3kg of salt! so he put it in a bag and ask me to go back to the warehouse and replace them with nuts and tell them we want to buy salted nuts NOT salt & nuts!
I hope you learned something good and excuse me as English is not my main language.
Amazing story. Thank.you.Your English is excellent
The keep moving part is certainly true! Close family friend is 99yrs old almost 100! What I have noticed that he will walk anywhere within reason rain or snow! Not only that, but over the last few years he has been in 2 car wrecks! Both caused broken bones and 1 even killing his driver as well as someone broke into his home and nearly beat him to death with a baseball bat sending him to the hospital as well! Then last year he caught covid-19 and actually recovered faster than me(35). Bottom line all I can do is assume like him, or old fashion/classic cars he's built to last with proper maintenance...
First thank you for you sharing and Actually now that I think about my own family we tend to have good life spans! Generally those that take good care of themselves or not premature deaths mostly live 77-85years. However Growing up I remember having a great great grandma (102) on my father side and a 3x great grandma on my mother's side believed to be 109-111! If you wonder why the exact age is unknown as I understand it she was so old she never even had a birth certificate, ssn, or any form of government id we are aware of. She was literally home grown and never once went to the hospital for anything. she far outlived even some of her own grandchildren nobody was there to confirm. All I remember is that besides both of them being almost completely blind and deaf and basically able to eat nothing more solid than baby food and soups they might not know what the date or time was, but their minds was still very much whole and the stories they told I wish I could have payed much more attention to or recorded for future generations.
Btw the nuts story was.... Nuts! Ofc if he was that old back then I'm surprised he didn't keep the salt and use it to preserve meats... Or maybe y'all was considered rich? Probably had indoor plumbing, refrigerator, and more than 1 TV maybe even in color? 😂 I'm just joking Incase it don't translate well by txt.
Bullshit. Oldest person to ever live lived to the age of 122.
Probably has something to do with fish and exclusion since they're all costal areas that's are excluded from main areas by distance, boarders or culture.
Living to extreme old age is great, if you aren't terribly lonely and can afford it.
I agree, its pointless if you're old and miserable. Like me.
There is the reality of the pain you'll always be in.

Something that didn’t get mentioned is the importance the Seventh Day Adventist community places on healthcare. Loma Linda University Medical Center is a world renowned teaching hospital that partners with its namesake university and provides a holistic approach to healing. An emphasis is placed on diet (preferably vegetarian), exercise, spiritual wellness AND western medicine. My husband has worked for the hospital for over 15 years and comes from an SDA family. His grandparents are in their 90’s and his grandfather still runs marathons!! Loma Linda does have several fast food restaurants, including McDonalds and Carls Jr.

@@toolboy1212p Yeah I am still very young I have to agree on me having lived not even a blip of my life span seeing everyone I know change so much in just the 4 years ive been in the US. I have mostly just gotten fatter and as my family sometimes jokingly says "You are growing wider not higher". But I am planning on working on that. When it comes to anxiety possibly being one of the reasons causing my weight gain (aside from pure laziness) I have noticed that I have been shaking and twitching a lot and I not its not me drinking coffee or stuff like that cause I don't. Pandemic wise though I do not plan on going to very crowded places and hopefully this blows over sooner rather than later.
Meh end result is the same even if you die tomorrow or in 2080. I quit giving a shit about life expectancy in my 30's since life is downhill from there anyway. The vast majority that want to live forever are in their 20's. I bet they wouldn't want to if they were stuck at age 50 or even worse 80 for all eternity when they only have half their 25yo senses and in chronic arthritis pain all waking hours.
As great as these lessons are, remember this:
A long life, doesn't mean it's a good life, but it can.
Good is a matter of perspective. Therefore, you can have the most strife ridden life, but if you choose to only focus on the positive, you'll live a happy life
It's a matter of quantity vs. quality. I'd rather have a short, quality life and die happy, than live to old age in misery.
@@wmdkitty getting old seems scarier than death tbh. There obviously ways to help your old health earlier in life but imagine just living and seeing yourself deteriorating and loosing the ability to do things that made life fun or u get fucked over by a disease... I’d rather have a fun short life 😂

Am I alone who noticed that all these blue zones have a beach?
Loma Linda CA is more than hour away from the beach
They're all warm and pleasant.
the focus (at least in usa and maybe most developed countries) on long life rather than quality of life is concerning. while a lot of what was discussed can be classified as quality of life, it's important to know when the struggle to keep living has no quality benefit. (currently) all life ends, almost by definition. i find it sickening when people die of old age/natural causes and the response is sadness or expressed as a loss - life is limited, celebrate their contributions to the world and acknowledge our transient existence.
thanks for your perspective, thoughty2 - always enjoy your content.

Having a something you have to do everyday is definitely one of the major things to living a long life. I have known so many old men who retire, then just go downhill fast & die within a few years. It doesn't matter if they retired in their 70s or 90s if you are able to work & you enjoy it then work until you are unable to then find something else to work at it will keep your body & mind better.

That list of variables is absolutely essential in longevity of lifespan. One of the most important being a purpose. Another being someone that you love, and like you said, stay physical with. Of course exercise and diet. But those things don’t guarantee anything. They’re just a list of very important items to practice if you’re trying to outlive all of those around you. Maybe you’ve got a standing bet against another as to who’ll live longer, but exactly how will you collect?

How so? Its ability to teach correctly? Just wondering.
Anything that teaches you phrases isn't a good option. First of all, you should learn basic grammar and enrich your vocabulary. I'm currently learning Japanese, started with grammar and was blown away by the amount of sentences I could create after a mere two weeks, simply because grammar is the very foundation of a language.
@@jay5010 Thank you for your great answer. You tought me why I have failed. No matter how hard I tried it felt like I was running in a circle.

I felt that dissecting phrases with grammar rules (all of the time) over complicated and unnecessarily lengthened the process of what you could intuit.. You might want to check out pimsleurs theories on language..
@@ninjastomp1 You are welcome. Try studying grammar and submerging yourself in the language as much as possible. Listen to music or watch shows in the language that you wish to learn. It's okay if you don't understand anything, you will get used to the pronounciation and patterns, which can benefit you greatly. Good luck on your language learning endeavours!

I took yoga classes with Swami Bua. He was 124 years old at the time. There was some documentation because he was a blood relative to Swami Sivananda who died in around 1963. Swami Bua had a very loud imposing voice when I met him and very funny and quite on the edge with some of his observations that were often shocking and a bit sarcastic. At 124, he attended and sort of supervised the yoga prayers. He could no longer perform the physical exercises. When he recited the prayers, his voice was booming, powerful and hypnotic with great conviction. He was so playful. I had a collection of videos of his cousin, the great Sivananda in Rishikesh, India which I gave to him. He was so happy that he invited me to his house to drink almond milk. I had to decline. He asked me why and I told him I had to pick up my wife. He said that was not a good enough reason. He poked me with other jokes that I will not go into but they floored me. He always had an entourage of devoted disciples that loved to be around him. He was really a hoot to be around and would snap to attention when asked a serious question.
A large part of the living longer based on where you live is also highly affected by your genetics
I agree, that would make sense if you consider that _there is no secret to live longer_ and people who live longer are concentrated in certain areas.
It also is to note that areas where people live longer have specific diets is Okinawa and Sardinia which includes plant based diets with some fish and meat too and minimal intake of the junk people in other areas live. Living longer is no genetic accident
Relation of mine lived until 100, I've a feeling ill make it well past 100 bar an accident
Nooooo it's completely based on diet
Genetics plays a very small role in life expectancy
Isn't Yak vomit already fermented? Idk, at least when I harvest mine it tends to be pretty tangy and already a little fizzy.
My grandmother died just a few weeks shy of her 107th birthday. My Papa, her husband of 68 years, died at age 97. They were only two months apart in age, so she was also 97 when he passed away. She stuck around for 9 more years subsequent to his death. She would often say she was "ready to go" to be "with my Harold," but that "God must want me here for something." And everyone loved her. She'd carry mini-butterfly clips and pin them to random strangers everywhere she went: The grocery store, parking lots, doctor visits, at church, on the beach... as she pinned them, she would tell each one, "smile, God loves you and so do I." And they smiled... every time. I try to live as she did. Barring any unexpected accident or other tragedy, I hope to live a long, productive, healthy, and impactful life, just as she did. I may not make it to 107, yet it's very possible, genetically speaking, that I MAY live well into my 80s or 90s, God willing.
Thats awesome! Your grandmother seemed like a very inspiring person. If only more people were like her, it'd be a happier, better world.
I come from Sardinia, one of the blue zones, and happened to watch several interviews of people who lived longer than 100 years. Some of them smoked their entire life, all of them drank wine and ate meat regularly, if not every day. Red wine, cheese and red meat are an important part of the Sardinian diet. However, they drank locally made wine and ate organic food, plus they had an active life. So it could be a combination of healthy food (=not excessively processed, no added sugars, chemicals etc), exercise and good genes.
No, people in St. Augustine, Fl really don’t claim the “fountain of youth” is real, or “swear” by it; although they do sell tickets as a historical site, so there’s that.

please stop being sorry for your English seriously it makes no sense since you probably speak other languages too...
Some people say they want to live forever that's way to long I'll just get through today.

As a costarrican, I can confirm that lying is a relatively common thing to get help from the government here. *BUT* it is also something worth pointing out that people in Nicoya live active and generally healthy lives. Also, our health system is very good, and it's common knowledge that many americans and europeans come to this country to have surgeries and medical treatments which would be too expensive to have in their respective countries; so that has to be taken into account. This video is very accurate at least in regards to my country.
If only I could find a nice lady to help me prevent heart attacks...
Good luck...you see the type of women...the type of PEOPLE in general is out there? Lol
@@YesitisDex nice save
Guys my grandfather’s father was older than 106 years but I never saw him because he married late so his kids were small while he was old and he died when my father was 10 yrs old

Lol “Senior Researcher”. Double meaning in that.
I was riding a bike through this tiny island off ishigaki island, I think it was called taketomi island, I came across this 98 year old woman working the fields. She was able to ride her bike around, do strenuous labor and was super adorable.
I hope I’m half as active as she is at 70 lol.
A lovely take on the subject! and great to give Aubrey some cover!
However, Aubrey's basic idea, that's even featured in the slideshow behind him, is to intermittently fix damage that accumulates in the body and manifests aging. Not "to exclude death from our genes" like you said at 20:19. He has assessed that gene editing to create a perfect metabolism, which would in turn make your body function optimally without aging forever, to be too complicated. As he shows that metabolism is too complicated, and add onto that genetic engineering, and it's just a wast problem-space.
And to identify and fix damage is clearly much simpler. As there are clear things like lessening liver function, which in turn makes you frail, so as a simple example, you could just replace your aged liver with a young healthy liver, and so on.
But more on the micro-biologic scale, where chemical or some other means, could remove the damage of aging that the body is unable to deal with, as we've evolved to procreate, and be a bit of a use to our tribe in old age, but not to deal with *all* the damage of aging, like some other organisms.
I don't think most people genuinely want to live forever. They just want to look young, because that is what our society values.
Depends on how you define living forever.
If people could get over the fact that everyone has to die religions and cults wouldn't be as big as they are.
Many devote their entire life to something that may or may not safe them from not existing or at least spare them the anxiety of that concept throughout their life
@@ZTheLastViking Yeah, you're not wrong. I guess I just see a fear of death as different from a desire to live forever. Like for me personally, I don't want to live forever and I also don't want to die. Lol
If I live long I just need my good health, the ability to easily do whatever I need to do mentally and physically without suffering
@@caseyw.6550 Yeah I totally get that. lol
Both are sort of fears of infinity I'd say. With or without us the for ever ever part freaks us out.
Either you accept you don't know what you got born into or pretend to have the answers.
Ignorance is bliss I think that saying fits here
i am 17 so i look young. i don't want immortality i want practical immortality (living thousands of years.)
anyone else see that genuine smile at the start,, I watched it back twice
TLDW:
1: Go outside often and exercise naturally.
2: Have friends.
3: To know/find your purpose in life.
4: Live in a somewhat remote area and eat healthy.
Love your channel, great information. I live on Okinawa, my wife is from here, and her grandmother is 101. Some think the local purple potato, among other things was the source of long life, but unfortunately, the diet has changed to a lot of fried food now, so I don't think Okinawa is going to remain the blue zone for much longer. 30 years ago when I first lived here, we ate a lot of the purple potato, but now, they are harder to find. :( Smoking and drinking is very common here, but the men usually drink and smoke more, so that may explain why the women live longer. My wife's grandmother also smoked until her 80's, not sure how much she drank, and her husband did pass away in his 70's. My wife worked in a nursing home/adult daycare, and there were quite a few women pushing 100 or older there.
That's very sad to hear
so tl;dr, capitalism and its bad habits breaks us into living less
... his goal is to achieve immortality... nah, it is to live long enough to grow his beard to the floor.
"Radioactive AND smells like rotten eggs?! Make mine a double!" Still laughing, brilliant comments from Thoughty2 as always! 😂🤣😁👌👌
🤣🤦🏾
Wow....it even says in the Bible that God declared after the flood that no man will live beyond 120yrs. Once again Aaron, a most informative video. But you are certainly part of why I watch them.
Considering the oldest person alive rn is 122, I would consider that just one more reason on why the Bible is rubbish
it genuinely just sounds like the 4 points can be summed up into "dont have depression"
Physical activity, eat healthy, positive attitude and be grateful, you'll stay long.
Anyone remember when this guy’s intro song was a GarageBand loop?
I think he used the courier strings loop at some point
With advancements in gene therapy, stem cell treatments & artificial organs & joints I believe humans will eventually be able to live approximately 200 years at the most. It is likely that the next generation will see people of 150 years old or more.
If I could stay younger, healthy and have an infinite memory capacity immortantly would be great but it would have some serious downsides as well. The biggest is that you would have to watch everyone you ever love grow old & die, another problem is you would always have to worry about people finding out about your immortality and wanting to kidnap you so they can experiment on you to also get immortality for themselves. A major advantage though would be that you could keep the memory of everyone you loved alive for everyone to know about. You could also be the most knowledgeable person on almost any subject since you have unlimited time to study them.
The Adventist longevity is pretty easily explained actually. I grew up in an Adventist church, so from first hand experience I can tell you that as a whole, Adventists are very medically minded. Nurse, physical therapy and MD are very common jobs among Adventist communities and a very high percentage of Adventists are vegetarian. Not a big mystery there. And I can confirm Adventist longevity. Multiple older folks I knew growing up (I'm now 29) are still trucking along well into their 90s. There's a local guy that owns an air-conditioning company and he's 88, still works 6 days a week.
I've been to St. Augustine and at least drove past "The Fountain of Youth." More interested in the seafood restaurant down the street. ;-)
The secret to long life is to watch thoughty2's videos.
My uncle which is 104 years old now, has been an alcoholic his whole life and as the saying goes, we joked "está conservado en alcohol" (he's is preserved in alcohol), however it doesn't work for all people, one of his brothers which was an alcoholic too died when he was around 50 years old. My mother was the youngest of all the siblings and she died at 91 years old about three years ago but my uncle keeps going
One side of my family is full of seventh-day adventists. They're a little odd but they all live up until their late 90's. My great grandma was 3 months shy of 100. Took zero medications, and walked a few miles a day, every day most of her life. They're vegetarians.
I thought the “Blue Zone” was referring to blue-haired old women! PS: I am an old lady myself, ain’t pickin’ on anybody!
Glad to have u here. May you live the rest of your life in happiness
@@alsparkproductions7849 Why, thank you!
So there's this species of grape in southern europe...
And in SE North Carolina. Muscadine grapes hold the best health benefits of all grapes on this rock

Hmm, finding out maintaining regular contact with friends, family, and neighbors will have a positive impact on my lifespan while locked down and unable to actually do any of that.
"And it has to be said, such widespread fraud seems entirely unlikely"
You cheeky little ---
So, according to the four guidelines thanks to the pandemic lockdowns we have shortened the lifespans of most of the population.
But then dying from a virus is also a lifespan reducing event.
Better an uncertain future than certain death.
I’d rather die sooner so I wouldn’t have to deal with all my friends and family members dying first
Kars learned the hard way.
and pets, especially pets
Same. i'll be okay with dying once all my loved ones are gone.
That’s so sad... you can always make new friends, and good friends are family who just don’t share your genes!
in short, you're a coward
I'm 39, will be 40 in 2 weeks. I've lived a good but rather highly diverse life. I could die any day and be fine with it. I've married once, have 4 kids, 2 and a half of which are grown and healthy, I've traveled the world, I'm just living on bonus time right now. No desire to live into my hundreds, no point in watching all my friend's pass, I've had enough of that already. But kudo's to those that wish that upon themselves.
As a Greek I confirm. My grandmother is 107 and We have a life lesson. Slow down your life dont rush your life
Imagine living a 100 years as a seventh-day adventist....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thoughty2 is basically like Ridddle, but chilled and with a mustache.
And Thoughty2 is not flooding bullshit. Ridddle often spews lies from every orifice left/right and center.
The gist of it might be right, but verifying their scientific essence often reveals they got no clue what they're talking about. They're at times even worse than the BE AMAZED channel. Gosh what a posers.
The description of how people live in the blue zones seems to hold an important lesson to me. The lifestyle described may not necessarily help you live longer, but it sounds like it will certainly help you live better. Healthy diet, consistent and I must emphasize consistent, moderate exercise and possibly most important, strong, social, and family bonds sound like the recipe for a happy life it’s 59 years or 109 years. Cheers.
I love you're approach to education, fun and not patronising
Great
The secret to a long live is to exercise, be social, have a purpose for live and get my life my life together
I’m not going to make it to my 50ths

fasting + red light therapy
@@LTPottenger red light therapy? Also don't remember what fasting is tbh.
I don't even want to live to my 50s, because I see no purpose in life.
@@ILikeGuns1992 fasting is like not eating from waking till sunset
Don't marry and stay with someone who drains the life out of you.
What🤣
You okay, buddy?
Sounds like you shouldn't get married.
@maltese 0217 The levels of infidelity would be off the charts.
In Icaria People eat lamb regularly and consume wine like thirstly bulls. Their fairs when celebrating saints last till the early hours of the morning. What I would put about healthy diets is thus not like you said, but no processed foods, and everything in moderation.
Also 1 for me is stress. Icarians have a way of living that makes them relatively stress free contributing in a huge quality of life leverage imo
In Norway we have a tradition with the king sending a hand written letter to citizens passing 100 years
Time to go to norway and become 100 years old for dat street cred
