@stevoe1000 Somewhere between 62-64… Yeah he’s a living example of what he teaches.
Hey Zak…how old is Brian clement…I have looked everywhere but cant find it…he doesn’t have one grey hair….not even on his beard…
This is definitely a large topic that I will cover at some point, however what I can say is that yes the only full lifetime studies have been on animals, which have ALL shown to increase lifespan and the current human studies which haven’t lasted a lifetime yet, are showing dramatically lowered instances of all metabolic disease (ie. diabetes, heart disease, cancers etc).
On top of the the worlds longest lived cultures all consume less than 2000 cals a day.
you repeat the statement that a low-calorie diet is “gonna be the optimal diet for longevity” a couple times in this vid. Have there been any studies of the effect of calorie restriction on longevity in humans? From my limited knowledge of this area of study, I was under the impression that most studies of calorie restriction have involved mice and rats. Care to enlighten us?
Yeah I know. 1 gram of protein produces about 4 calories so as 1 gram of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fat produces about 8 calories. I just felt that I can correct such a smart guy like your are and feel smart 2
love raw food and love spirulina.
We definitely can break it down into fuel. If you eat something like spirulina, which is pre-digested protein in amino acid form, it will give you a lot of sustained energy. The Hippocrates Health Institute’s entire diet is based on getting fuel from plant based protein since it is very good for blood sugar health.
protein actually can not be broken down to glucose from what I know..only fat
Cool, I just looked at it, I’ve just shared the advice some of the people who wrote “the longevity diet” give and would not be surprised to see someone young doing it successfully.
I started CRON when i was 18, im 25 now! Check out my blog sometime. Google ‘matts cr’ or go to link on my profile. You’re very sensible! Good video
jJust looking at the thumb forget about it. Philippino women live longest out of everyone. Being gay doesn’t help . That is added stress. Stressing about it doesn’t help either. Being vegetarian doesn’t help. We are descended from carnivores. just eat wildabeast. We are the top! Other animals eat those nutrients for us. Maybe a proper Atkin’s is right
In regards to Doug graham, I’m not interested in singling out one person and attacking or judging them. Many people eating high fruit diets are definitely better off than most other diets, however there are other better examples of teachers in the movement who are older chronologically yet appear far younger.
The same is true of the residents of Okinawa, Hunza, Sardinia, Ikaria and more, despite their cooked diets, they are not overeating on fruit.
BTW centenarians are 1 in 10,000.
I’ve heard this flawed logic applied to high-fruit before. Have you heard the rebuttals?
“never been a fruitarian culture” – Cultures are people removing themselves from nature….. The world has long been corrupted by cooked and processed food.
“811 centenarian” – centenarians are one in a million. And simply aren’t a million 811′rs. It’s in the numbers.
“all the long term 811rs age prematurely.”
Jay Kordach
As for Dr Graham – is it the wrinkles? Are there cultures with no wrinkles?
All that being said I am always open to new information and we could very well see long term successful fruitarians in a couple decades or so. At that point I’d actually see positive results, but right now there are none. Of course these diets work for a couple of years when someone has been eating a very toxic diet and let’s go of the garbage.
These videos emphasize that it’s important to look at the science of diet, the results people are getting in the long term and what are the lifestyles of the world’s longest lived cultures.
There has never been a fruitarian culture, I have never heard of a long term fruitarian/811 centenarian and all the long term (25+ yrs) people eating high fruit diets age prematurely.
The Tree of Life inst., the Hippocrates inst. (and others) are always chock full raw people getting off of high fruit diets.
If you listen to all the videos you’d hear that the lifestyle I am outlining is neither high fat nor low fat.
If you listen to all three parts of this series I also explain why the “our bodies run on simple carbs” is not a good point for backing up a high fruit diet. The cells in every creature on the planet run on glucose, oxygen and small amounts of EFAs, but that doesn’t mean they should all eat fruit!
…….Why do you disagree with Dr Doug Graham? Our bodies run on simple carbs. Also, most fruit is NOT high-glycemic.
Yes, some people such as D.R. recommend too many calories. It’s not needed. I’ve been getting 1800 cals a day for a year. On a fruit diet, you don’t need as much food, since fruit takes no energy to digest.
A lot of the U.S. has blood glucose imbalance. These are not the huge population of fruitarians! lol.
And diabetes is what you’d get on the diet you’re detailing here – high fat + carbs together.
Fruits when dried, or juiced is too much fructose for the liver, yes, but juiced greens don’t contain fructose, and that’s what your original statement was commenting on. The whole idea of juicing a green is to remove the fiber and HAVE it absorb quickly and not be buffered!
I’m not sure what you consider “too many greens” but of course, the whole idea behind the diagram I was demonstrating was to show how not to overeat any one “group” of foods.
You could start whenever you want really, but 30 is the number given by many in the CRON field, specifically in the book “diet for longevity”.
Some males are still winding up going through puberty into their late 30′s. Especially if they grew up eating a natural diet and not a processed one full of artificial growth hormones…
@SecretsOfLongevity
But why should we wait till 30? Doesnt the body stop growing at 25?
@SecretsOfLongevity
You are correct; saying greens and superfoods cause anemia is crazy! Well, That’s not what I said…I said Too much greens, and too much superfoods! Greens should not be eaten out of balance of other natural foods. In addition, when a food is dried, concentrated, juiced, etc., too much fructose for the liver to process, raw or not. Vitamin U is lost, and the fibers necessary to buffer that juice is not present. This is a faustian bargain if I ever saw it.
Saying greens and superfoods cause anemia doesn’t make any sense. The blood disorder of anemia is characterized by a low red blood cell count which is in large part due to an inadequate intake or absorption of iron. Although tannins can inhibit iron uptake, greens and many superfoods are very high in iron and chlorophyll and quite low in tannins when compared to many fruits.
Low-body temp problems are due to low caloric intake as well as low level chronic tension of peripheral capillary beds.
Too much green juicing and wheatgrass…Now that’s addiction. All the people I know that eat these excess greens and superfoods are anemic and cold all the time….Too much tannnins
fruitarians are ridiculous
I’ll be creating videos in the future that address your baseless fears and concerns. As for calorie restriction, it is not advisable for anyone under 30 to begin this sort of practice.
Obviously you are not familiar with the overwhelming scientific literature that points towards eating less calories and living longer. I would recommend reading up on the work of Dr. Clive McCay and the vast body of research that followed him.
I totally agree that we must take in less toxins to live longer.
