Thank you...🤗
Thank you so much for allowing Dr Longo to present his findings without interruption 🙏🏽
Lots of good info. Need to watch several times to understand fully. Thank you.
This is a brilliant summary of 30 years of outstanding research.
I’m so grateful for this man. For real! I look up to him so much. He’s a hero in my book.
The intro song is everything 🥲
Bought your book- looking forward to learning All of what you’ve discovered !
Prof Longo may be right about he difficulty of various fasting regimes. I've done FMD 4 times but not at all in the last year. When I did it I felt very good. Have been doing TRE for over 5 years though, and it hasn't been a problem. On gallstones, I haven't seen any study that shows a good diet with 16/8 has negative side effects like gallstones. The breakfast thing needs to be untangled from lifestyle. I'm not hungry in the morning so why should I eat? In any case, these comments about gallstone and breakfast have been made for several years and need to thoroughly examined.
Buddhist monks and nuns have been doing TRE for 2,600 years - I don't think there is any special reports from Thailand and Burma on gallstone problems in monastics.
I have the same questions/comments on Dr. Longo's comments on breakfast and all plant based diets. Where are the studies to which he refers? Has he ever dived deeply into Dr.Greger's summaries of such research. We have had the impression that Dr. Longo. is a wonderful and a very Italian researcher who loves the cuisine of la Mama, and perhaps overestimates the role of tradition in a given culture's cuisine. I have never heard him note that the foods that our ancestors were not so polluted and processed as the food we have eaten since post WWII. He seems to have moved over the years to more mostly Plant based diets, but when he recently commented that all vegans have been found to have 2 X the fractures ( I think he said, " hip," but I did not hear that word clearly), he gave no source reference. For years, I keep asking, "why doesn't Dr. Longo refer us to studies summarized by Dr. Greger on NutritionFacts.com? Does he not like the site? It would be so helpful for many of us.
May be we should remove the other risk factors of gallstone and add fiber with coffee. more coffee less gallstone www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1174713/#:~:text=Men%20who%20drink%20two%20to,according%20to%20a%20new%20study.
For the record Longo said to eat a mostly plant based Plus Seafood diet. Seafoods are an incredibly nutritious and healthy animal based food.
@@beardumaw24 yes. How I eat...
NUS Medicine, thank you for the interview. Wonderful information. I'm hearing impaired and the background music makes it hard to hear the words.
A lot of people on daily fasting are on high fat diets such as keto. That is likely part of the issue with gallbladder.
I fast OMAD regularly on Keto. On days I don't do OMAD I do mostly 16-8 or 20-4 IF.
But after a while when I reach low body fat percentage, my body starts heating. My adrenals are overactive and I have difficulty sleeping deeply. In that state I start experiencing adverse effects of keto and fasting. And when I force to continue, things get worse, my sleep get worse, my body temperature rises even more and I feel inflamed when I eat low carbs.
But If I stop and go off keto for some days, then the problems go away when I resume with keto. My body temperature returns to normal and I can sleep well.
So my subjective conclusion from my personal experience is that overdoing fasting or keto raises the stress hormone when we get close to the lowest fat percentage we can get. as a result we don't sleep well; which raise even more stress and that's a vicious cycle. And since lack of quality sleep is negatively corelated to longevity, that's probably why those who overdo fasting or keto don't live very long.
Don't to KETO (do your research) but rather eat as many HEALTHY carbs as you want during your OMAD. Valter Longo gives a great intro in his book the longevity diet. Keto is idiotic IMO
I've had the same problem doing IF and sleeping.... so I have 90% of my calories in a 3 hour window - but then have an additional 10% around 5.30pm... this means that I can still do IF/TRE and not lose sleep. I'm guessing if I did OMAD then I'd probably run into sleep problems though.
Yes, fasting and good sleep is an issue for me too... I did it for 7.5 years, now I can't do it anymore..
Can you give exact details of your Keto diet when on OMAD?
I m glad u realised ths wdout harm to the body .
Yr body deserves healthy food n why to punishbit
“You are what you eat” was actually corrected by Dr. Robert Lustig in his book.
“You are what they do with your food”
“They” the companies who sell you food!
I have been a vegan for 29 years. I am 65 years old and live in the USA. My last bone scan two years ago showed my bones were like that of a 30 year old. I believe we can eat a plant-based diet, live a long life, and be completely healthy. I think a plant-based diet is better than a diet with highly processed foods such as chips, pastries, donuts, candies, cookies, and a diet full of really high fatty food such as some of the pork and beef products consumed. I have always taken B12 as a supplement. And, even now, during current times, B12 is often lacking in the plants due to overuse of the soil and consistent constant use of pesticides which kill all good insects along with the harmful ones. So humans may not be receiving the necessary damage of B12 while consuming meats.
I think you are absolutely on the right track
You said both "live a long life" and "be completely healthy." Unfortunately, these things are often at odds with each other. A diet rich in bioavailable nutrients is a diet that is largely comprised of animal foods. This same diet is high in protein and fat, which cause the activation of a number of genes, most notably mTOR. With mTOR upregulated and high levels of micronutrients, our bodies can operate with much less prioritization of needs and can GROW, rather than sustain. This is why animal foods are so vital for children in development.
As we age, keeping our bodies in this growth forward state becomes damaging to hundreds of specialized tissues and basically causes us to age faster. Veganism is a prolonged state of nutrient deprivation, where the body becomes incredibly efficient at storing and utilizing what little nutrients it receives and protects specialized tissues from damage. This is why nutrient deprivation is useful in the treatment and prevention of dozens of cancers. Unfortunately, this causes lots of stress, and the lack of nutrients (or energy required to convert the plant forms of those nutrients, eg betacarotene to retinol) results in a host of symptoms such as brain fog, headaches, lethargy, depression, etc. The chronic elevation of homocysteine from low B12 is also likely the reason why vegans are something like 4-6x more likely than even someone eating a processed, refined American diet to have a stroke (ironically, a diet high in protein also causes high homocysteine.) These are all natural reactions to the body being deprived of nutrients, which absolutely helps us to live longer.
An ideal diet for LONGEVITY is veganism, an ideal diet for HEALTH (meaning general physical well being, while also living a long time) is some combination of periodic fasting or nutrient deprivation coupled with short, incredibly nutrient and calorie dense refeeds.
A great video from a wonderful person. Thanks for the subject.Btw that song was nice.If possible can you share the link or details?
What do you think about the Asian rice diet? 80-90 percent of plain white rice. They are healthier than those who eat the typical western diet.
@@mybobalu2 The rice is healthy also as are the fruits and vegetables they eat. Rice provides calories without adding any fat, sugar, or sodium. Walter Kempner said rice was healthy for what it did not contain while providing calories. Do a search on the Kempner Rice Diet.
@@mybobalu2 Dr Kempner used rice to TREAT diabetes. It worked very well.
@@mybobalu2 I'm going to assume you did a search on the Kempner Rice Diet.
@@mybobalu2 ua-cam.com/video/plpiRcVMbg0/v-deo.html
@@tnvol5331 rice is essentially pure glucose and has a very high glycemic index and load so not an ideal choice for keeping insulin levels lower. However, if eaten within a whole foods plant based diet doesn't seem to have the same detrimental effects as when we see it integrated into the western diet with soya sauce and fried chicken.
Fantastic
Increase LONGOgevity.
One of the key takeaways is that daily IF is not healthy and a 12:12 daily eating window is ideal. Then anybody can add 1 or 2 OMAD a week, and/or a 5d FMD every 1-to-4 months.
He's talking about fully raw food diet .
Who sings the song at the beginning and end of this video? I loved it!
I reversed my pre diabetes 4 years ago. My home made whole Foods gave my good health now at my late sixties.
Can you help me by telling me abt ur diet
Dr. Longo what are the side effects from not eating a day???
Please tell me how you can help me diagnostic lung cancer after 7 chimiothérapie and radiothérapie still cancer .Give me your advice help me Please, just 36 years hold.Thank you so much. God bless you
could be improved if interviewer ask better penetrating questions...those covered have been discussed ad nauseum by Prof Longo who looks great
Please provide a 'skip this intro' link.
Visiting Agoge Diet was a life-changing decision. Who would have believe that creating a diet plan is so easy.
Many Indians fast once a week for religious reasons. If it is a habit it is easy.
My Grey granmother lived in Cuba to be 103 years old, and Grandma 97 years old. They didn't know anything about that.
I doubt your Cuban grandmother ate that much junk food though either.
How can I find the food line you sell?
6:53 "the most important things is drink water alot of water .....and walk or what ever "
The music is beautiful while Dancer performed. Is there a name available
At 2:36 The Wise Dancer Woman
I have low blood pressure and low fasting blood sugar, is the FMD safe for me?
skipping breakfast does not make you unhealthy in fasting, not eating the right foods and the amount you need when fasting does.
Actually, on another video, Dr. Longo says breakfast-eaters live longer with better health according to the data available at this point. We'll see.
Skip breakfast at your own risk then.
so, the FMD consists in no eating for 5 days, ok.. so, how is that mimicking fasting? sounds like real fasting to me, or what am i missing ?
Fmd consists of 5 days of eating very little. Day 1: 1200 cal, rest of the days:800 cal.
I would tzther not have to lidten to the introductory nonsense
If you have ears to hear check out Dr. Robert Morse and the raw vegan community perspective as well. Everything points towards plant based, lower protein diets being healthy. Modern scientific findings are showing this. Why not take it to another level and make it raw like how all animals in nature eat their food. The foods that can be eaten raw are fruits, veggies, and tubers, and some nuts i think. But be weary when you don’t feel good, detoxification is a must. Generations of eating certain foods that are inharmonious with the human have created changes and adaptations. An unnecessary need for stimulation of glands. The body wants to rebuild itself to become stronger and clear obstructions caused by acidic chemistry in the lymphatic system that derive from meat, dairy, starch. Human anatomy and psychology is close to that of a fruigvore/herbivore. Color vision, small mouths, small hands with no claws, specific ph levels of saliva and stomach, feelings of guilt to kill animals, closely related to chimpanzees and bonobos (frugivores).
This is way too complicated. Isn't there a simple way to instruct what to do/ eat for optimal health?
Avoid processed foods, eat loads of beans, whole grains, veggies, and fruit.
Drink tons of water, make sure you are getting electrolytes (minerals) through some kind of supplementation, eat lots of nutrition dense greens, eggs are prime source of protein, I try to eat five a day.
Avoid processed foods and sugar by making soups and stews and salads.
Very important intermittent fasting take one day a week and do not eat anything after dinner until the next evenings dinner. This allows your body to detox.
Interesting that longo is not as excited about the 12-14-16 hour intermittent fasting as he was 5+ years ago. What about the Benefits of autophagy from it doctor? It’s the best type of lifestyle anyone can do for themselves. Why aren’t you pushing that? Funding? A Nobel Prize was awarded for autophagy. Why the back stepping? Interesting.
From everything I read, you cannot reach autophagy in 12 or 14 or 16 hours of fasting. I havent ever heard Dr. Longo talk that positively about IF Of course if you want to do that, then ok but his research is targeted on longevity.
Dr. Longo and others in the field started getting calls from people and families calling to stop putting out multi-day fasting as it was causing accidents specifically people passing out while driving. Bottom line, they had to tone down what they were putting out on UA-cam and they started advising that any fasts over a day or so be supervised. People newly into fasting don't know about the need for electrolytes and mineral support for multiday fasting. This is what causes the light headedness or dizziness.
important to know! Thx for sharing🙏👍
Dr. Longo now recommends 12 hrs of daily fasting with a 12-hr eating window (this is what he generally does) and doing the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet one to 4 times a year, or even monthly for a limited period, depending on the need.
But you get lots of autophagy on the FMD bcz autophagy requires very low protein over a 36-hr period minimum & the FMD is very low protein.

'You are what you eat' - Nothing =|
You really have to call into question someone trying to sell you something that is free.
Food is not free. He created the diet because they couldn’t get people to do a water fast. Even with cancer. All of the proceeds of Prolon go to fund more research.
I fasted with some water in my 40s for Prayer and Bible Studies. I do fasting again every other week.

Can you expand on this comment? Do you drink this while fasting or do you break your fast with this?
Vegans within the 7th day Adventist study had the longest lifespan of any of the blue zone areas. Dont listen to dr Longo foolish comment about 30% of vegans being mall nourished, or having more bone fractures. That all just depends on what type of vegan diet is one on, etc. Also, the bone study is bunk because it didnt take into account how active the individuals are. In other words if you are out doing physical hobbies, sports, etc, you're going to be more likely to be injured compared to someone that is just laying around the house watching television. Anyway, be careful of what dr longo says. His common sense seems lacking in some ways. Either that or he has an agenda. Also, I dont like the fact that he's selling his own processed food line. He's clearly starting to look like a marketeer, in my opinion.
The Pesco-vegetarians did better than the vegans in the Adventists, according to the people who did the studies.
This dude is a damn genius what are you talking about. He’s the one who discovered your chances of surviving chemo are enhanced when you do chemo while waterfasting. Water fasting… something FREE you can do…
@@ChuckFrasher yesssss. Fish and veg for the win. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 that’s what I’m trying to do. Trying to do some pesco-veggie keto atleast 6 days a week .
It’s a little hard in a Hispanic household though 😂 these people eat red meat,eggs, and bread like crazy . Sigh . I’ll get there!
@@cassandraarcos298 Fantastic!!!
