  • Blue zones have the highest percentage of centenarians anywhere in the world. Can they tell us the secret to a long and healthy life?
    In part one of this three-part series, science writer David Robson travels to Sardinia to find out what is so special about its blue zone, talking to the locals about their traditional way of life and their attitudes to ageing.
    A film by David Robson and Pierangelo Pirak.

    I think genetics has little to do with longevity of life, it is more about lifestyle: strong relationship bonds, exercise, healthy diet and cutting out the sources of stress.

      No, genetics has A LOT to do with it. This is scientifically proven true.

      @@Jon-dh3kiWhen Ikarians, Nicoyans, Okinawans --- especially the younger generation --- move away from their communities and, or adopt modern lifestyles, their health and longevity deteriorate and mirror that of their new neighbors. Likewise, when people move to Loma Linda, CA, and adopt the 7th Day Adventist lifestyle there, they live longer and better than they otherwise would.

      These old people, at least in central Sardinia, don't need young people; they can feed, support and take care of themselves. It's all these city dwellers who are helpless.

      I live in Sardinia, my aunt died at 101, my mother at 98 and my other aunt at 97 from covid, my sister's father-in-law died at 101, he went to the vineyard in the morning, came home, went up to his room to rest and never woke up. Never been in hospital, drank 2 litres of wine from his vineyard and three cigars a day. Cost to the national health system: 0, not a single euro.

    • @askallois
      @askallois 3 місяці тому

      Not really, they are self-sufficient families, they eat meat regularly, but they also raise rabbits and chickens, they are not a vegetarian sect. Meat was eaten once a week, either white meat or beef, all accompanied by fresh vegetables from the garden. Pork was slaughtered in mid-December, and nothing was thrown away. They made excellent cold cuts, hams, bacon, cheeks, lard, and put them out to dry in the kitchen where there was a fireplace. As a child, my mother would send me to buy fresh milk or cottage cheese with three eggs, since there was no cash money and barter was used. In June and July we would cut wheat, barley, broad beans, chickpeas, and with the durum wheat flour every week we would make bread in the wood-fired oven, a delicious bread, and for a snack my mother would take a freshly made focaccina, put some of our olive oil on it and a crushed tomato on top, and it was the end of the world. That was life until the 1960s, and I spent a beautiful childhood in the midst of nature. Then civilisation arrived with money and everything changed.
