[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 267234, member: 15043"] If anyone hasn’t checked out the doc on Netflix called “Live to 100 Secrets of the blue zones” I highly recommend it. Someone recommended it on excel, and it’s definitely worth the watch. I’ve watched many other things documenting centenarians, and what centenarians around the world all have in common, and it’s always the same things, despite centenarians around the world having a wide range of eating habits. The only thing they all seem to have in common, food wise, is that they all eat whole, mainly unprocessed foods. So I think just simply not eating processed foods, crap dairy, and crap oils will get u most of the way there, as far as eating in a way that serves the body the best goes. Which is why it’s true, a person can live well over 100 on many different diets/ ways of eating. The main thing that most of the mainstream diets have in common is that they all cut out processed junk. Which, imo, is why u can see people being happy and healthy on a variety of different ways of eating. I’m just an optimalist (might have made this word up lol) and am always trying to figure out the most optimal way to do things, not just what works pretty good, or what works better than most other options. The main things that all centenarians seem to have in common appear to have little to do with diet actually. Well less to do with diet than most people would think I should say. They all still eat fairly similarly, as far as the whole/ unprocessed food stuff goes. But the main similarities between them all seem to mostly do with stress and their mindsets. They all have a very grateful, optimistic mindset towards life. They all also seem to get over negative things very quickly. Like if something negative happens, they all seem to process and get over it fairly quickly, and not dwell and stay in a state of unhappiness/ despair for too long. They also all seem to have very strict and healthy daily habits. Such as working in a garden and/ or socializing with friends.
