9 tips at 15:39 this is for the students watching this LMAO

When he said isolation kills that broke my heart, thinking of all the elderly ppl we put in homes and our often forgotten. I think its very important to care for our parents and grandparents when they get to that age.

1. Lives include physical activity. Walk. Garden. 2. Downshift - slow down for 15 minutes per day. 3. Sense of purpose. 4. Don’t overeat. 5. Faith -based community.

I wish I was born in one of the 'old world' cultures. I absolutely hate modern society and wish I lived in like a small Sicilian town with a simple job and great food, wine, scenery and lifestyle

I have been using this Ted Talk in my classes for years. It’s great to see Netflix had unpacked all the Blue Zones in their special.

i swear i've had to watch this ted talk for like 5 different homework assignments. teachers, you did not strike gold that you need to spread with your younglings, we've seen it

That would be wonderful to have many friends and family around. I miss being around very old people. They are so wise and interesting.

I am 80 yrs old, been to Costa Rica andsaw you on the plane coming back. I have good health, eat beans, very little meat.........love to hang out with good friends. I can do whatever I want climb towers and love the foods that Costa Rica has...........love life and wish I had moved to CR to stay.............I love the people. For me I think you are safer there than ever i America.

I live in Okinawa and I wish I could stay forever. This place is paradise and joy on earth.

THE REASON FOR WHICH YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING - - - wonderful peoples - wonderful lives

I cant like this enough. I come back every half a year or so to rewatch it. And every time i discover something new or something I´ve learned that was already in this video all along, I just understand it better now.

One of my favorite talks. Sums up many things I have been trying to do.

This is how my grandparents lived considered poor but they were organic, happy and fullfilled

Great chat. Example of a group of people who live long, and how they do it. Very inspirational! From a speaking g standpoint and to live long 😊

Great presentation and research project - it couldn’t be more important! I’m just about done reading the Blue Zones book Dan wrote, and it’s fantastic + super interesting…

I grew up in Riverside near Loma Linda and shopped in the 7th Day Adventist shops. I was the healthiest athlete (before leaving for college)! I'm now on a program with Mary-Ann Shearer to get my health back on a whole foods plant based diet . . .

The secret to a long and healthy life is always prefer need over greed. In everything. In food, work, family, entertainment...everything!

His voice sounds like Steve Carrell

Very inspirational! Thank you from Blue Zones Project Yuba Sutter!

January 2, 2014. This message from you was one of the best New Year's gifts to be given to anyone! So many myths debunked. Yes we have our genetic limits but also, it is the "quality of live lived" that makes the greatest impact whether in Sardinia or Okinawa or Loma Linda! You are so right that it is lifestyle habits and appreciation of Nature and being calm and enjoying every little thing Nature has to offer, that promotes longevity. I agree with you 100% that our immune systems are what keep things going and if these are damaged, we become sick and our life spans are shortened. I only hope that with science we can learn more how our immune systems work and keep them in top shape. If only people would hear your talk and LISTEN to what you are saying, they would live longer! That is the take home message! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. Best wishes, Malcolm
