TLDR: They lied about long living people eating barely any meat and it turned out they ate a lot of meat and way less carbs.
Interesting
How did you watch a 12 minute video in 5 minutes?
Well I wouldn’t say *barely* any carbs. They weren’t keto or anything
thx boss, seems off from the start
Just fruit
As an Okinawan with multiple 100+ centenarians in my family. Pickled pigs feet, Oxtail soup, Fish heads, tons of fish. A lot of seaweed and stews. And the occasional sweet dessert on festivals. My grandfathers ate almost no carbs. Only from a limited amount of rice but that was it.
Im also okinawan and can confirm this as true my great grandpa is 101 and my great grandma is 98 and both eat mostly meat not carnivore or anything but predominately
This is current diet, not the one involved in people that faced war decades ago. My country now has a very different diet then from 1970s.
Lack of carbs, that's it! or so we've conditioned ourselves to think
@@stefanisilva2493people don't typically change their diets unless under extreme circumstances. If a 100+ year old is eating this way in the 2020s, s/he most likely also ate this way in the 1970s and even all the way back to the 1920s. Don't be intellectually dishonest.
@@ferraridav They actually do a lot based on food avaiability, economy etc. Is a very well known fact that non western cultures have been adopting a more industrialized diet since 1970, the whole world is increasing their calories comsumption per capta and now Asia Is increase their animal prpducts with more dairy.
In 1980s in my country fast food was just avaiable at parties and just rich people could afford soda, candies and hamburger on their homes frsquently - now its part of most people's daily food.
Oxygen oxidizes cells, so not breathing will keep me young forever.
Breathe in pure nitrogen so your lungs still get stretched out so they keep strong 👍
Yeah, you’ll stay young for the rest of your life.
😂😂😂
Also, if you want a long life you should leave earth. According to cutting edge science EVERYONE who lives on this planet dies, so for a long life everyone should leave Earth. Staying here is a 100% death sentence.
That's true,
You will literally stop aging
This low protein diet nonsense comes from the grain lobby
Also the anti meat people. It’s a dark alliance
Those "illuminated" freaks are getting out of hand, right?
Follow the money. Protein stops people from eating too early for profit.

The anti-human lobby actually, pushing for all kinds of stuff that ruin you inside out, body mind and soul.
Even if protein shortens your lifespan I feel like the deterioration of muscle as you get older would make you more prone to injury and also take longer to recover from said injuries, exhausting your body just as much. Quality of life is also important; I'd rather live to 80 but be fully in control of my mobility than to live to 90 but be bound to a hospital bed. My grandmother is 86 and can barely walk because her bones are so weak and she has almost no muscle.
Aim to move like mick jagger at 80. Still performing on stage and is mobile asf
Hey Vars, love your vids

i don’t think you finished the video my man. protein increases lifespan
@@mikeycondry1493 he said even if
When I worked at a grocery store in Fort Worth Texas called Central market. They were pushing the blue zone ideas. Japan often came up in the conversation. It never really seemed correct to me. Based off of observations I’ve taken. I know that diet clearly has a huge role in longevity. People like to often overlook the mindset and life style that’s involved with people that live past 100 years. Richard Overton at one point was the oldest living World War II survivor. He smoked 12 cigars per day, drink, four glasses of whiskey, and ate bacon and eggs every morning. he talked about the reason he has been so long is do too his slow, peaceful, stress-free life and being surrounded by loved ones. It is often the most overlooked when it comes to longevity. In my opinion.
Exactly. Same as the folks living in the blue zone in Sardinia. Idyllic, communal, stress free living,close to the earth.
Living as earthlings, not status imposing schmucks.
Relating to that netflix series (that I didn't actually finish watching), the people being interviewed were always saying how their lifestyle is what's making them live as long as they do. Always staying active, surrounding themselves with friends and family, and in general trying to be happy and laughing. From what I remember, it felt like the interviewer was leading the interview to make the diet the focus in some instances.
certainly! I love so much how you put this into words. Felt like I'm watching a movie
Well, if you notice that politicians often get to live into their 90's, that's why. They don't have to stress over things like the people they're representing and most likely keep failing
Thank you for putting the truth out there! I used to live in Japan, in Hokkaido, famous for its dairy and seafood, plus jingisukan (mutton) and soup curry. I’m sick of vegans trying to use Japan as an example! 😤
Thank you for sharing your first hand experience.
It’s pretty funny to me. I’m mixed race Japanese and I’ve always been amused by this because Japanese people eat a lot of meat, and I think more eggs per capita than almost any other country. They just also eat vegetables too. My Japanese grandmother always stressed - meat is ok, but make sure your plate is colorful.
@@MrBones105The Japanese eat half as much meat as Westerners and three times less than Americans. They especially don't eat a lot of red meat.
@@_blank-_ shhhh, people with actual experience are talking.
@@_blank-_I literally see Japanese culinary channel discussing beef meat rice bowl (and compare it with other places or other meats) just a while ago. It's not the only ones. Look up gyudon and katsudon. Don't be ignorant.
Not overeating is the key to a long life
Eating the right thing is the key, because when you do, you eat much less often
You can't overeat protein.
For me eating carnivore is the key to health and vitality.
@@shogunofharlem8240 Incorrect, you can actually. That's called Gout. Look it up.
@@shogunofharlem8240Yes, you can, it'll just be metabolized and used as energy.
I don't care about living longer, I care about living healthier. I've done a lot of research to improve my own understanding of diet and nutrition and for me, with my own health problems, it's clear that a high protein low carb diet is better.
Protein protects your muscle and keeps your gains too!
it seems that the lower carbs intake the better... 😲🤷♂️
less carbs means: less inflammation, lower risks of autoimmune diseases, less damage of brain, heart and other organs, it's better for teeth and gums, worse for parasites and candida... and it's worse for cancer (which feeds/survives on carbs)..
so benefits of reducing or eliminating carbs are plentiful... 👍💪💥😁
That's what everyone needs, regardless of health problems.
Which is what you're supposed to eat anyway.
Based
I think socializing is probably one of the most important factors to living longer . All cultures with high levels centenarians have this in common and a lot of them still drink alcohol
I dont think that correct really... say to an introvert "you must socialize" and he will die :-), tell that to an extrovert and he will be HAPPY... Happiness is the key i believe... how you get there probably doesnt really matter... Hell you might have a successful serial killer that lives for ever - because he does what makes him happy - killing... lol :-) (a joke at the end, but you get the point)
It's kinda hard to socialize if you're always negative and not lighthearted isn't it? Who would want to be around you lol@@Proyapper0
the other thing these cultures have in common is pension fraud
You mean countering the alcohol with more traditionally fermented cultural foods as natural probiotics did nothing?[/sarcasm]
@@romannavratilid
But introverts still need to socialize and have friends to be happy though.
I was very naïve and thought that Asian diets were mostly vegetarian. Lots of rice and lots of veggies. Then a friend of mine went to China and had a very difficult time finding vegetarian meals. It surprised me. I admit, I knew nothing I was making assumptions.
I lived in Japan for a decade. The best was watch white lady co-works go into restaurants and say they were vegetarian. The staff was usually baffled. THere was very little vegan about anything in their restaurants. In Inzakaya's their choices would be down to beer, french fries, and if they were luck some fried tofu or eggplant. Such a healthy diet. These chicks were also the most sickly people you would ever met, especially in winter. Protein is the basis for your immune system
Asia is a massive place. You could find regions where vegetarianism is commonplace, but it can vary even by specific regions in a country. South Asia tends more towards veganism as a lifestyle choice, and poorer regions tend to eat less meat in general.
east Asian countries are highy non vegetarian ones whereas south Asian countries specially India has the largest vegetarian population and a wide variety of veg cuisine..
India is the only country in the world, where the majority population consumes strict vegetarian diet,
Vegetarianism in India, not veganism. The other countries in South Asia like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal are not into veganism/vegetarianism@@todo9633
My grandparents were farmers who survived the Great Depression and ww2.
They absolutely prized animal foods of every kind. Bone marrow, collagen, offal, milk and eggs, as well as muscle meats.
My parents knew how to butcher animals, as well as foraging and growing gardens.
As a youngster in the 70’s, I helped my family butcher chickens for the family freezer.
I knew exactly where my food came from. We had milk delivered to our door by a local farmer. We left out a bucket with a lid plus money, he would fill the bucket with milk.
My mum also had a job with a local bakery.
So, quite often, our “dessert” consisted of fresh bread, homemade blackberry jam and fresh cream.
This is the biggest factor. My parents grew up in a rural community and they learned from a young age how to work with farm animals and agriculture.
Food used to be natural and homemade, simple, real. You could trace where every ingredient came from. Now it's ultra processed and engineered to be as cheap as possible. Half of everything we eat is synthetic chemicals. No wonder all sorts of health problems have increased over the decades. People need to eat real food, and learn how to cook themselves. I'd go as far as to say that learning how to work with animals, feed, clean, butcher, skin them and have the knowledge in how to maintain a farm and your own sources of meats and vegetables is an absolutely golden set of skills that my generation doesn't have. I aspire one day to learn those skills and maybe build a remote independent home for myself and my family where I can grow everything I eat myself.
Sadly today US consumption is not local or organic its chemical cheap (fast food) and cause cancer
0:23: 🥔 The Okinawans' high carb diet, mainly consisting of sweet potatoes, may contribute to their long lifespan.
2:56: 🐷 Okinawan food is centered around pork, which was historically a significant part of their diet and helped contribute to their longevity.
5:16: 💪 Protein consumption and exercise stimulate muscle growth, which is important for longevity and preventing muscle wasting in older adults.
7:36: 💪 Exercise is highly beneficial for overall health, reducing the risk of various diseases and enhancing learning and memory.
10:04: 🍖 Contrary to popular belief, consuming more meat is associated with higher life expectancy in Blue Zone regions.
Recap by Tammy AI
yep blue zone people eat more meat than average.
@@sillymesilly i had an assignment back in college regarding protein consumption and its effect on health. Positive and negative both. So I'm not gonna too much in in details of my project but the study that we found that said high protein diet is harmful was only done one regular people with regular life. The study proved that high protein diet may overload kidneys cause then kidneys have to process more protein without utilising it. And hence neutralizing all that extra protein tires off kidneys and may lead to certain type of cancers...... BUT!!! The regular people was the keyword. Since they were not having enough physical activity or enough muscle stimulation, there was no need to extra protein for their body.
So it's not rocket science. If you're going to the gym or living a life where you're using your muscles or having an active physical lifestyle then extra protein will actually help you. Cause other organs like gut and liver will metabolise that protein.
Another thing about all those Japanese study is, majority of the subjects were farmers. So they were doing vigorous physical activity and hence more protein in their diet was usefull instead of harmful.
P.s- I know I said I won't get into much details but.... whatever 🗿
@@lolong5976 the information you provided is really interesting. Thanks 🥰
Doing the gods work
I always sensed they were lying and I always wanted to meet someone from Okinawa to ask about their experiences. There was just no way those 95+ year olds are out there chopping trees without adequate protein throughout their life.
We eat mainly meat speciffically pork and seafood like salmon and squid and we cook with butter and lard, we also eat lots of seaweed goya and tofu and tropical fruits but the bulk of the calories is animal fat and protein
@@tsubakifujihara7852what about yams/ sweet potatoes or just common potatoes?

@@user-cl7pm7zm3xeat meat and protein first, then sugar in sweat potato is not going to be absorbed as fast as it goes in first. It’s the trick to keep your glucose level stable.
@@tsubakifujihara7852How do you guys cook with butter with no cattle?
It’s well studied that supplementing creatine (which occurs naturally in animal protein) helps reduce or eliminate muscular dystrophy. So it goes to show that simply eating protein and moving about moderately will stave off some muscle wasting and frailty in old age.
If you have've got any biology leason in your life, you'll know that protein is needed for almost every procces in your body. It's essencial.

Right. Protein is literally the building block of life. 🤣
I've been following your channel for over a year now and I want to express my appreciation to the actual effort & research dedicated to your videos, as well as the topics covered.
You truly make an impact on your viewer's lives, including mine.
couldn't agree more. I wish I saw this channel when I was a teen, maybe I would have grown better physically
I completely forgot about him, he popped up in my subscription feed and I wish he didn't. His video denying the link between meat and climate change was filled with fallacies and half truths. This video too. He talks about Okinawans' longevity but they're 26th in Japan according to him so they aren't really the best. As he said, Japan overall has a great longevity but they eat half as much meat as Westerners so it's not really an argument in favor of meat consumption. There are better channels out there that aren't obvious marketing from big agrobusiness. It's easy to *look* credible by partially quoting random studies and motion design, doesn't mean it's real though.
@_blank-_ which channel you recommend?
@@_blank-_ Why don't you go through the "fallacies and half truths" you mention in detail - educate us on what you learnt. We love knowledge here...

I loved how you schooled Sinclair on two obvious facts he should have known: that mTOR is activated by so many things, not just protein, and that the Okinawa diet that he cited was from 1949. Insanity!
Amazing video, Sinclair is a scam
He really is.@@johnrecker
Sinclair is a disgrace
weren't therefore the people studies in their 20s at that time though? how is that insanity? what would make more sense ?
@@tonyman187 Well, they grew up and changed their diets.
It's not just protein.
For example, iron absortion is really diferent if it's from meat or from vegetables.
Vegetables have non-heme iron, which is difficult to absorb, and meat have heme iron, easily absorbed.
Let’s compare :
We absorb just 1.7% of the iron from Spinach, which means that out of 100 grams (2.6 mg iron content) you would absorb a measly 0.04 milligrams.
Likewise, for the sirloin we absorb about 20%, which means that 0.5 milligrams were absorbed per the same serving size (2.5 mg iron content).
12 times more, and it’s hard to eat 100 grams of spinach, but the sirloin is a cinch. And we aren’t even comparing a high iron content thing like liver, from which you absorb 25 times more from the same serving size.
And iron is also important for muscle growth
Yes, tho one can easily have too much heme-iron, especially guys, tho gals shouldn’t either so their p*riod is less and less uncomfortable.
@@NICHS1994 yes, maybe.
However, this isn't a concern, given that studies indicate that up to 30% or 40% of the female population may be deficient in iron, depending on the country.
Furthermore, the thresholds used to diagnose someone with iron deficiency are quite low and may not be accurate. I say this because recent research suggests that we may require more iron than these thresholds indicate. This issue is particularly noticeable in conditions like Willis-Ekbom disease, which is often misdiagnosed. With this condition, symptoms can begin to develop when ferritin levels are below 50 ng/ml, whereas many medical institutions and studies only express concern when levels drop below 20 ng/ml or even 12 ng/ml for women.
Therefore, the prevalence of iron deficiency in the population may be even higher than initially thought.
Spinach is also very high in oxalates - hello kidney stones.
@@SkullCrusherStudios True!
@@ThePowerofRandomKnowledge Nah, plus, ‘hello iron overload’ etc lol
Do the experiment yourself: do a week or two of avoiding protein and a week or two where you eat a ton of protein.
I did this and the latter made me feel much better.
A mí también me ha sentado muchísimo mejor comer proteína de 90 a 120 g por día, incluso, como el paper lo afirma, en la memoria, el aprendizaje y -mucho- el estado de ánimo. Obviamente, en la fabricación de masa muscular.
did you track actual grams per day? grams per pound of body weight? anecdotal hearsay in this day and age won't pass the sniff test anymore. SCIENCE! B!
I'm not advocating for either diet but the logic of protein restriction is not for feeling better in the short term but rather for longevity. You can equivalently apply your logic by saying "smoke a cigarette every day for a week vs not smoking, see which one feels better".
@@Sarayne13 long term large groups data or unicorn feathers
@@williamtomkiel8215 what do you want data for? I am pointing out that OP is saying a high protein diet will make you feel better, while advocates of a low protein diet for longevity are not arguing otherwise.
An important point that was left out was the fact they had a food shortage. In other words they were hungry often, which in my opinion is the real reason why they lived so long rather than limiting protein... protein is found in many great foods but the key is eating ONLY WHEN your ACTUALLY hungry rather than eating simply because you FEEL like it...
Sadly I don't remember where I heard that but apparently, when it comes to Sardinia (one of the blue zones) there is a significant difference between people who've lived most of their lives on the coast vs. people who've lived inland, in the mountainous regions. The people in the inland have a longer life expectancy than the people on the coasts. They hypothesized that this might be due to the physical exercise people get going up the steep hills and mountains on a regular basis. Additionally, sheep dairy and meat were an important part of their diet.
I heard the same thing from the podcast of Doctor Gundry.
Sheeps ghee is amazing
So San Francisco is flat? LoL!
Lots of people in SF job up and down its steep hills like it's nothing!
Yeah, Dr Bill Schindler visited that area and spent a week with people. He said they ate meat (charcuterie) every day and a huge BBQ on the Sunday.
Roast lamb + Feta cheese = Yum, Yum, Yum :-))
All this talk about meat is putting me in the mood of going to an all-you-can eat Barbecue.

I’ve been carnivore for years. I’ve de-aged. When I was 27, I looked 35. Now I’m 33, I look 27.
By carnivore, what exactly do you mean ?

There is no difference between 27 and 33, mere 5 years 🤣 then, at the age of 40 ypu may suddenly look 50. It happen to one of my keto-loving friend 😂

@@sdrtcacgnrjrc Carnivore is meat, fish, eggs, and other animal products. If it doesn't come from an animal it's not carnivore.
As a specific type of lab worm I'm quitting protein on the spot
Mouse studies are one thing, but WORMS? I am not a worm!!!
I personally think the Okinawa lived so long because they all collectively made it through an extremely difficult situation and were probably able to live in long term communal harmony because of this, reducing their stress thus increasing their lifespan.
gotta factor in that that okinawa is a super chilled out relaxed island, nice weather, nice scenery, laid back population = a way smaller score of the stress scale for sure *there is also studies about people who lived through the depression era and were extremely restricted with their nutritional intake during that period but actually became stronger as a result of the experience and went on to live longer than usual lifespans.. kind of makes sense to me, i remember seeing older people who had been through all of that growing up and was always amazed at their vigor in old age, probably worth noting also that they grew up in a time of practically no processed fast foods and had pretty basic diets for the most part, the whole meat and three veg dinner was the norm when i was a kid growing up around my grand parents etc, the mass proliferation of mass processed every thing hadnt really taken over yet
Absolutely. People underestimate the power of environment and the body-mind connection that has been proven over and over again. Illness and health is not something that is purely, and in an absolutist sense solely physiological. Dr. Gabor Mate speaks about this understood relationship. I think you're on the ball.
that may be true, but in this video he provides evidence and data that establishes the reasons for why the people of Okinawa lived long.
it's definitely related to how much meat they eat
but hot weather and low stress does to help. Alot of old person diseases we're used to are kindly just deficiencies in animal nutrients and older people actually need more food to combat the reduced effectiveness of their cell machinery
Perhaps seafood?
Thank you for being my go-to source for debunking the many pieces of misinformation about general health that are out there. Whenever I discuss these topics with others, I often just send them one of your informative videos to cut through the nonsense. Keep up the great work! I truly appreciate your efforts.
There is more to this than just activation of mTOR, there are 2 different types of mTOR, complex 1 and complex 2, both serve quite different functions. Complex 1 regulates the immune system whereas complex 2 regulates muscle growth (among many other bodily functions). Protein and insulin will stimulate both. The goal is to actually balance the two to increase longevity as you ideally don’t want an overactive immune system, but on the other hand you want to generally maximise muscle synthesis. One of the most profound medications to increase longevity is an mTOR complex 1 inhibitor (rapamycin) which functions to primarily regulate the immune system. For longevity, mTOR needs to be switched on and off at the right times, it’s about maintaining sensitivity. The best protocol for this switching and regulating sensitivity is to intermittently take rapamycin whilst also maintaining a high protein diet, this allows mTORC2 to be turned on for muscle synthesis, whilst allowing mTORC1 to be kept down-regulated to prevent immune system over-stimulation.
How do long fasts affect mTOR?
very interesting
it seems that fasting is inevitable for longevity

@capimages nice pfp
My Japanese grandparents lived until 103, 99, 95, and 88 in Nagano Prefecture. In the past, Nagano had a shorter lifespan, but it now enjoys longevity in Japan after the city promoted a diet with less salt and more vegetables. My grandparents ate a lot of vegetables due to their involvement in agriculture (of course, they also consumed fish and meat).
I think a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet is important, but a balanced diet, including plenty of vegetables, is the best.
there is no scientific reason why you need a "balanced" diet that includes vegetables. Fiber is not needed.
I doubt that had anything to do with it; lots of other variables change dover that time also, no doubt.
Be careful not to conflate recent changes in diet or policies, with outcomes that are more dependent on events that happened over several decades (life-time diet, physical activity, strong social bonds, and just plain old genetics).
People like to look at very recent things, and extrapolate that what we see happening today, must be because of that - often things are happening due to longer-lasting trends. It's easy to be myopic when analyzing these things. Life expectancy can be influenced strongly (negatively) simply at birth and in those crucial early years of development.
Which exactly veggies they ate? Were these starchy?
Amazing analysis as usual WIL! Thank you for your will and effort to actually get to the bottom of things.
the exact question I had for nearly 2 years and you've answered it. Thank you!
Just a quick thought: Protein is expensive. The prefectures in Japan that eat more protein probably have an higher economic standing than the ones that eat less protein. Research shows, that people with an middle to high economic standing lives longer than people with less money. So, is it actually mainly the high protein intake that makes them live longer, or the general benefits of having enough money?
I hope it made sense, English is not my first language:)
Could be an interplay of both? I wonder what is the distribution of high protein regions and high income regions crossed with highest life expectancy regions. Could there be some regions that live longer on less protein but are richer? This is fun to think about!
As a Coach of Yoga, Fitness and Alternative Therapies as well as once hardcore vegetarian for decades,
turned omnivorous after certain research, experimentation and studies,
I agree with you mostly.
However for longevity you need both Mtor to build muscles
and autophagy to discard dead cells to avoid aging, ailments and fragility.
Fantastic video! Exactly what I’ve been thinking about these last weeks! Thank you for reinforcing my conclusions! ❤️🥇💐
Amazing video. Very well researched and nicely presented!
If you were to gather 100 random individuals, one would inevitably outlive the rest. But here's the kicker: The likelihood of that person having deliberately set out to be the last one standing is minuscule at best. Despite this, we scrutinize their lifestyle and habits as if they've uncovered the secret formula for longevity, even though chance plays the pivotal role in determining the last survivor.
That’s why everybody has that one random family member who smokes like a chimney, drinks every day, yet somehow lives to be 105. 😂
@@capimagesright lol, let’s study that so we can see how to live to 105 and expect similar results
That’s the exception not the rule so no one get excited about it.
As a very busy med student, I've noticed I haven't been getting enough protein and started drinking protein shakes recently. My energy levels, mood, strength and sleep quality skyrocketed. I can't imagine saying low protein is better for you cause it clearly isn't. Stress plays a huge role in shortening the lifespan, we should take care of ourselves both mentally and physically so it doesn't matter if it activates the mTOR pathway as it helps with stress.
aren't protein shakes dosed with energy boosters?
@@jamessantos7241 Mine isn't. It's just milk protein with B vitamins
Thank you for clearing this data point that stood up as a sore thumb from all the data i have collected so far.
And thank you for pointing us to a healthier future.
Stopping at 4:53 to say why wouldn't want want to be less strong and less healthy now just so we can tag on a few more years? I've been carnivore for two years and I'll tell you that my focus is on being healthy and strong now. Not that I really believe they're right about high protein lessening my lifespan, but even if I was convinced they were right I would keep eating carnivore because it's hands down how I feel my best.
Studies show that women live longer, less fun lives than men 😂
some people are just more concerned with how much time they have that they'll do whatever to increase it
Exactly, I think the no. 1 concern should be quality of life rather than longevity. They often go hand in hand, but if I had to choose between quality of life and getting a few more awful years at the tail end of my life, I'd rather have the former.
Exactly, same here.
And I bet your diet also makes you feel like a man. Broccoli is for wimps. Right?
I think there's an oversight in the case of okinawans... I think that because of the fact that their diet was mostly sweet potatoes and other vegetables for probably long after the postwar period and that the sweet potatoes are high in potassium that this plays a vital role since potassium is key to reducing risk from cardiovascular diseases. I believe that as long as you have a healthy cardiovascular system the body can go for a long time.
Edit: Also if you look into nutritional data for meat you will see that it is very high in potassium
Always grateful for your research work. Thank you.
I think the lack of calories is the primary factor here though. Feed those same people a protein instead of bread and (my assumption is) they'll turn out exactly the same. Fasting , and simply not eating a lot, is the key to longevity.
for only a few years. it's not like they were voluntarily starving for the rest of their lives After the war was over.
Yeah but that's a few years more than most people of the time. There are meta-studies of modern famine survivors available that show it's a common factor, no matter the era or location. Survivors of poverty and famine (not people who stay in those situations their whole lives, they have shorter life-spans, but people who went on to live a healthy life after experiencing long-term hunger) have a nominally longer lifespan than their economic counterparts who never had to go hungry@@Metqa That's something I looked into a few years ago, but I think there's a significant amount of evidence in general for the physiological benefits of fasting.
The Irish potato famine is one that was looked at in those studies and they had the same benefits despite their primary dietary carb being the missing ingredient from their diet. They survived primarily on meats and dairy, plus whatever they could afford in grain/starch.
This is a conplete disregard though of the metabolic disease that comes from a high carb diet
Very interesting, thanks for the research, Joseph
I found this on the CNBC website. It fits best with what we learned at University about why Okinawans lived longer. That is, they practice a kind of fasting, or they don't overeat. They undereat.
"If you’ve ever been lucky enough to eat with an Okinawan elder, you’ve invariably heard them intone a Confucian-inspired phrase before beginning the meal: “Hara hachi bu” - a reminder to stop eating when their stomachs are 80% full."
However, some French people are also long lived eating a high fat diet, but also having a sress free lifestyle.
French people eat a lot of animal fats and proteins. Offer a french some margarine and he'll probably deport you himself.
Yes, stress is a big factor in longevity, but this video focuses mainly on food intake.
Your youtube channel is genuinely a benefit to the world and to my health specifically. Thanks!
Great content as always. Thank you!
How about people actually lived off the land, and worked that same land. Which is not the same as buying that same processed, industrially farmed food. You are missing the key link, having that community connection to your food source. Physical work, and consistency in all of those things is what matters.
"NO, YOU NEED TO EAT THE MEAT PUMPED WITH GROWTH HORMONE AND ANTIBIOTICS, SOYBOY 🤬"
I recently visited Tokyo as an American and noticed the prominence of pork in dishes across the board. Yet most Japanese dishes I tried consisted of heaping amounts of carbs be it noodles or rice, and a proportionally tiny amount of protein typically in the form of thin sliced pork and/or egg. Coming from the US I'm used to huge cuts of meat be it steaks or chops, so in my mind it made sense why the Japanese population is so much smaller (body size/mass) than Americans. I was consuming significantly less protein per meal than what I was used to. I noticed the bulk of their calories from any given meal came from carbs. This to me begs the question, "Does the inclusion of pork/eggs, regardless of amount consumed, in general, account for the elongated lifespan the Japanese enjoy?" Because I certainly wouldn't consider them to be "meat heads"
This guy lives in Japan
@@NanoNutrinoI know
Yes, "What I've Learned" does the bait and switch. He provides studies that show people who eat more meat are healthier in Japan. He doesn't tell you that they all eat a lot less meat than Americans.
I actually read the paper by Shibata (1992) referenced in the video. It looked at Japanese diets from 1972 to 1992. The 10 year study labeled people high intakers of meat if they ate meat 3 or more days per week. Only 53.7% of the Japanese in the study ate meat 3 days or more per week. The high meat intakers only got 16% of their calories from protein and only 60% of that came from animal sources. Also, the centurian men were only eating 1,073 kcal per day.
@@jakubchrobry3701That's because WIL is a grifter.
I live in Japan. Japanese eat a lot more eggs and pork than most other countries per capita. Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat, it has a full amino acid profile and lipids for regulated hormone production. Also as animal protein intake increases in Japan as a whole, so too does their height. Younger Japanese are becoming taller than their parents and grandparents.
Your videos are always on point, love it and thank you
i think the secret to Japanese longevity is their world leading consumption of wild fatty fish
It's their varied and rich diet + they have to walk around and therefore exercice.
They also sleep on Futons, and not on spring mattresses which act as EM receivers.
We also take really hoth baths tbat mimic sauna use and drink a lot of green tea and lots of seaweed
And pork
Yes pork seafood beef and in my case lamb to
Something i have always theoriezed about longetivity was the cycling between starvation periods and feasting periods. I read one study showing that a long period of nutrietional deficiency (not starvation) increased mitochondria concentration into enlogated and hyper effecient forms. Then when you returned to normal feeding or a small amount of over feeding, those mitochondria can better utilize the incomeing food and produce extra atp for cellular repair.
The key is not over feeding for too long otherwise the mitochondria become over burden and will split appart into smaller, round shaped, increasing the intracellular acid profile which can destabilize sensitive protiens.
Very interesting. Seems to make sense…
Huh
After almost 20 years of eating mostly vegetarian (my Boyfriend is vegetarian), I had gained about 50kg and my health went south. Then I learned about fasting, Low Carb, Keto and so on and started prioritizing Protein as much as I can. The result from only increasing the protein was amazing, without doing more excercise I am much stronger than I was before.
Ayyy I remember this being briefly mentioned in a past video, very cool of you to expand on it!
Hey Joseph, on the topic of protein would you consider making a video on insect protein, monocrop agriculture used to feed them, indigestibility of chitin and such? I think itd make for an interesting video
I've been exercising for strength and fun for quite a while. It's nice to remind myself about the health benefits as well.
I lived in okinawa and can attest to the prevalence of pork..it was amazing. Craving some ソーキそば, ミミガー, and テビチ right about now
Born and raised myself and this is true, pork seafood and bbq
Finally a great video on this topic! I always try to explain this to people when the conversation comes up about Okinawa and centenarians. :)
One of the best videos on tube about health and food. Setted up format from years ago, with graphic choice seems timeless.
My dad is Mediterranean and still actively managing a business and mobile at 83. The staples of his diet (in the U.S.) are: fish, eggs, steak, broccoli, oatmeal, milk, and fruit.
Including enough quality protein sources in your diet strengthens your collagen levels and therefore makes your skin firmer and less prone to wrinkles.
If only…. Yeah ….. but not really 😅
Commenting for engagement!! Great video, Joseph. You have helped me very much with your research.
"Yeah, you'll feel a lot healthier, happier and more energized now, but you will live less." - oh this argument.. even if it was true, I'd rather live better than longer.
Thank you for exploring this. I've always found Sinclair's claims of needing to avoid protein for longevity to be highly suspect and counter intuitive.
counter intuitive? Or counter propaganda? Spiritualist are mostly vegan/ vegetarian. One would expect them to be intuitive.
Please make video on microplastics in food.
We need to understand "lifespan" vs. "healthspan"
Thank you I needed this video because I was doing carnivore but then for a week I’ve transitioned over to a David Sinclair style vegan diet and honestly it had me feeling like crap. This video made me come back to my senses.
They actually also found Okinawan centenarians actually ate seafood several times a week
There diet is more processed now
I really think how active their lifestyles and low stress and communal they made the society contributed more to their longevity
Okinawa prefecture currently has the highest obesity rate in Japan at 45.2%. And Okinawa now had the highest mortality rate for people under 65 y/o.
Before WWII, Okinawa residents primarily consumed high-fiber foods like vegetables and sweet potatoes. But after the war, they shifted to high-calorie, high-fat diets. As a result, in 2010, Okinawa had the highest mortality rate for under 65 y/o people nationwide. Okinawa is not a prefecture of longevity any more. Okinawa faces significant health challenges.

Every single one of the centarians I've seen interviewed had average to high meat or fish consumption. Not all meat is alike and the reduction in offal dishes and stews likely accounts for many of these reductions.
@@cr8284 he literally shows his sources as he talks about them. you ok bro?
@@cicolas_nage yeah he does, what is your point?
your channel is so important, thank you
I watched a lot of UA-cam videos on health and nutrition during the past 3 years. My conclusion is that health influencers are usually biased and sometimes intellectually dishonest. Oh, one very important thing is to research whether an influencers have any financial interests in pushing their views. Considering that nutrition is extremely complex, these days I hedge my bets and I eat a whole food omnivorous diet. I also try not to overeat at any one sitting, I learned that from the Okinawans.
Is it me or does this guy look better and healthier with each video?
Better filters.
@@jasondrummond9451Yeah I'm sure that is all it is...😂
Yep
He’s a skinwalker
Sadly sinclaire also tricked me, I don't trust him
Keep up the great work ty!!!
I'm showing this to my 80 year old dad, maybe it'll help him get over his irrational avoidance of protein.
I love soki soba for all its fatty, salty goodness but as delicious as Okinawan food is, the culture is just so much more chill than my local Yamato culture. It’s like that Bobby McFerrin song come to life. The rest of the world could learn a lot from not only what Okinawan people eat but how they live.🤟✌️
my great grandma drank sherry and smoked everday and lived to 98. my other great grandma lived to 102 and could still walk and talk lucidly until 99 i remember her eating waffles with cream and she drank coffee everyday. its just genetic theres really no secret.
I agree, to an extent. I’m sure they didn’t eat that much processed junk food laden with a hundred chemical ingredients.
Look into epigenetics.
Maybe
How stress free lives they had? Exercise? Healthy living environment? Its fine to eat waffles here and there.
Great, I'm going to start smoking, drinking and eating nothing but waffles. Cheers!
This might be your best video yet.
Great video man!! Top channels on this area without any doubt!!
I just cannot express enough, my love for this channel and the unbiased information that is your content,Thank you.
M-tor activation down regulates the expression of Foxo3 activity. Foxo3 is primarily involved in autophagy, and glutathione production. It makes sense that restricting protein in a cyclical manner could increase longevity.
Intermittent fasting could be great, then. Cycle on and off. Eat- quality protein and fat- and fast, and so on.
I was afraid protein equated to faster aging. Even while bodybuilding, I kept protein at a specific max. Truth be told, I had anxiety about it. This video really made things clearer. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this. I've known about this guy (mTOR) for a long time and was my last concern on higher protein intake for quite some time.
Stay Healthy
Health content from this channel is the best. I get keen when the notification comes through
Thank you for this video. I have heard so much about Okinawa being a blue zone because of sweet potatoes, but digging deeper into it, it doesn't make sense.
BEST VIDEO YET! Thank you for addressing this issue. I followed Dr Sinclair for years and it’s such a strange feeling to realize I no longer share his views on animal protein and longevity. Also the Okinawan diet and Blue Zones thing. Thank you so much for clarifying these points!
Sinclair is a reductionist. And I am being generous by only calling him that.
@@shogunofharlem8240 this is true.
@@shogunofharlem8240 So is this channel
*bullshitter with conflicts of interest would be a better way to describe him@@shogunofharlem8240
I maintain that What I've Learned is the prototype UA-cam channel, the best channel, a life-saver that got me started on keto, Wim Hoff and other life changes that have transformed me into a super-mutant high-tech demigod. Thank you, WIL!
Ive always been into some type of exercise and always been a large meat eater. While ive certainly eaten many carbs and sugar in my life, i definitely eat way more meat. Ive looked like im in my early 20s since i was 18 (was mostly the beard), and still look like that now at almost 30. Im positive the meat + excercise is what is keeping me in a young state.
it seems that the lower carbs intake the better... 😲🤷♂️
less carbs means: less inflammation, lower risks of autoimmune diseases, less damage of brain, heart and other organs, it's better for teeth and gums, worse for parasites and candida... and it's worse for cancer (which feeds/survives on carbs)..
so benefits of reducing or eliminating carbs are plentiful... 👍💪💥😁
Exactly 👍👍👍
Proteins are the building blocks of every cell in the body, it makes no sense that less protein makes you healthier 🤔🤔
Probably forces your body to regenerate cells slower?
So why does breast milk contain so little protein? Despite being literally the most perfect food a human can eat and it's used during the period we grow the most during our lifetime... 🤔
@@jordancox8280 So little protein compared to what? Other mammals grow much more rapidly, some reaching full adult size within 6 months. Baby humans are some of the slowest growers in the animal kingdom and the protein they get from breast milk is just enough.
what keeps you living is eating well, and never stop moving, keep in shape!
Basically conclusion:
Do not deprive yourself of protein, because conclusion of study conducted with lab worms does not necessarily apply to humans, but even if it does, protein is still needed for building muscle through exercise, and health benefits of that are just massive and irreplaceable by anything else
Loved the video! 😄 But, please, could you add sources? 🙏 It makes it easier to keep learning about the subject and evaluate where the information is coming from.
I LOVE your videos and content choice. So valuable. I'm very thankful that you convey this information in such a well-presented manner. Recovering ex-vegan (9 years on plants only). My health has improved so much, and I have partly you to thank for guiding me back to a human diet.
I love your research's, and your edits, we're all in debts for your research, I hope UA-cam gives you enough so you don't have to sell yourself to the pharma industry like A LOT OF RESPECTED researchers have.
Great work! thanks!!!
Once scientists spend decades developing their own theories, they run with them and it's really up to outside observers to see what does and doesn't make sense for themselves especially, because such scientists have strong positions and disagree with the others.
Yes, not for nothing but when it was mentioned in the video that meat is easy to digest (with a picture of beef) I had to remind myself to take in the info, but come up with my own conclusions. I will keep researching this, but I don't believe meat is easy to digest. i think the opposite is true
@@GO-ji1bu The protein in meat is easier to digest and absorb than the protein from plants. But meat isn't easier to digest than carbs.
I used to work in one of the Blue Zone in the world, LOMA LINDA CALIFORNIA. The long-living people in this area are Seventh Day Adventists and they are almost all vegetarians. These people attribute their long lives to their religion, vegetarianism, exercise, positivity, and sense of community. There is nearly no meat in their diet.
I was raised in the SDA cult. It was your typical abusive cult and I got the hell out at 13.
There is no "blue zone" in California.
@@jasondrummond9451 - I worked at a bank in that community and it was weird seeing 90-year-olds doing cart-wheels in the lobby!
It's not because there is no meat in their diet but despite of it.
@@johnrecker - Please GOOGLE: Blue Zone. You will see that Loma Linda California is included. The city is mentioned in Wikipedia!
I love this format of your videos.
Your content is very well structured, so it's easy to understand as well as to apply. Incredibly informative for sure! I was wondering: what do you think about researching about adult acne? Do you think it would be helpful to make a video about that? Thank you!
