Today we're going to talk about how to
live over a hundred years. Then we're
going to get into 18 scientifically
proven tips on exactly how to do it in a
practical way. I'm going to make it
super simple. I'm also going to give you
a summarization after I dissected
certain countries that have more people
that live over 100 years old than any
other country in the world. I don't know
if you know how old I am or my history,
but I'm six years old and I am way
healthier now than I was in my late 20s.
And I've done a lot of deep dive into
this topic of longevity. So, I'm going
to share with you some really important
information that's going to be
practical. But I want to start out
showing you this clip on how medicine or
science justifies
longevity. When we were all in the
caves, half of everyone born was dead
before the age of 30. Fast forward to 1840.
1840.
>> Sure. That number went up to 35.
Half of everyone born was dead by the
time they were 35. So in the tens of
thousands of years between living in caves,
caves, >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> and the middle of the 19th century, we
got since then with advances in
medicine. And by the way, everyone back
then was eating organic.
Just saying.
And the water was clear, the air ran
pure, the the game was free range.
Didn't make a damn bit of difference.
Science matters here. Okay. All right.
You can run around and eat all the
organic you want. You'd be dead by the
30 unless some doctor came in and said,
"We can we can increase your life
expectancy using science."
>> Now, let me just dissect that clip a
little bit because there's a bit of
cherrypicking going on. Um, in the 1900s
it is absolutely true that the average
person only lived to 32 years old. Okay,
that's that's pretty low. And then as
time went on, uh, people started living
longer and longer. And the question is,
is it all because of science and
medicine? That's the big question.
Because in most people's mind, science
and medicine is vaccines, antibiotics,
and medications, right? But the only
problem with that, the big spike in
longevity occurred before the broad use
of vaccines and the invention of
antibiotics. The big spike in longevity
actually occurred because of plumbing
and sanitation engineers. They cleaned
up the sewage in the cities. And they
didn't just do it in America. They did
it in France, the UK, different
countries. And they showed similar
spikes in longevity simply because of
this one omitted fact back then over
half of the children died before they
were 15 years old. If we take that data
and we exclude it from this mathematical
formula you would see the longevity
would be much much higher. And that is
because most of these children were
dying of certain infections chalera,
typhoid and dysentery which had a
chronic diarrhea component to it. So
once the plumbing and the sewage
situations was cleaned up, those
conditions literally went away. Now it's
absolutely true that medicine then came
in with antibiotics and it extended the
life longer. There's no doubt. But the
big question is this. If we're talking
about longevity, do we want to manage disease
disease
or do we want to create health? These
are two completely different things.
When you manage diseases, you're not
correcting causes because you still have
to take the medication. You're dependent
on certain drugs to keep certain things
in check. I mean, right now, we have the
ability to get everyone to live to be
100 years old. We just put them on life
support, right? keep them alive. But
what about the quality? The quality of
someone's life. Personally, I only want
to live as long as I have the quality of
my health. I do not want to end up in a
nursing home with dementia and all sorts
of problems where people have to change
my diapers and dress me and feed me.
That is not living. So, today we're
going to focus in on this right here,
which is very different than this right
here. I'm talking about increasing
your fitness reserve so you have more
capacity for health. The V2 max is
probably one of the best tests that you
can do to determine your fitness reserve
and also to predict how long you're
going to live. So creating health is
different because we're optimizing
function. We're increasing the quality
of your existence.
We're making your metabolism more
flexible and your hormones more
sensitive so they can work. We're making
it so you have tremendous stress
tolerance and you can adapt to life much
much better. Having a very strong
parasympathetic nervous system. So when
you go to sleep, boy, you go into a nice
solid sleep 8 hours and you wake up
feeling refreshed. Creating health also
includes maintaining your muscle mass as
you age because there's a thing called
age- related muscle mass or sarcopenia
that a lot of people end up in where you
lose the muscle mass and a lot of your
health goes down the tube. So sleep
quality is very important. Gut and
microbiome is very important. Making
sure you don't build up visceral fat
that's the fat around the gut is super
important. And then let's compare and
contrast that to uh medical care. uh if
you have a sleeping problem, they will
basically just give you a medication.
Does that increase the quality of sleep?
No, it just allows you to be unconscious
for a longer period of time. I mean,
even blood pressure, are they correcting
blood pressure? No, they're just
lowering it. They're thinning the blood.
They're giving you beta blockers to
block this enzyme so then your blood
pressure goes down. And then let's just
take acid reflux or bloating or
indigestion, right? You take a drug.
Wow. Does that ever fix anything? No. It
just suppresses the symptom until you
have side effects and you need more
medications. So, I'm not disagreeing.
This model does extend your life, but at
the expense of side effects and lower
quality of existence. So, now let's talk
about Japan. Okay, Japan is the country
that has more centinarians, people who
live over a 100red years old than any
other country. Presently, they have 95,119
people that live over a 100red years
old. That's mind-blowing. And so, we're
going to dissect and go down the list
and actually learn from what they're
doing so we can apply it, too. There is
another place where people live longer
than Japan, and that is Hong Kong. Now,
Hong Kong is not as large, so it doesn't
have as many centinarians, but people in
Hong Kong live a very long time. And I
have some very interesting information
that's very counterintuitive to why you
might think people are living longer.
What's so unique about Japan? The first
thing that stands out is their school
system. They have a very unique food and
nutrition educational program that is
mandated by a law. These kids are
educated by dieticians that are not
nearly as influenced by the junk food
industry like they are in America. So,
they're actually teaching these kids a
tremendous amount of great information
on food and nutrition early on that is
going to help them in the long run.
Could you imagine if you ate healthy as
a child? Like, I wish I ate healthy as a
child. I ate pure junk. I mean, in
America, kids do get some education, but
it's only like eight hours for the
entire year. And then the big elephant
in the room question is what is the
quality of that health and food
information since it comes from
dieticians that are severely influenced
by the junk food industry which is a
known fact. If you have any doubts of
that I will put a link down below so you
can learn more about that. So the
question is what do these kids eat? They
do have rice. In America, we are fed
more wheat and other grains in a highly
refined way, industrial starches. But in
Japan, that rice is less refined. It's
not genetically modified. So, it doesn't
have glyphosate. Now, it is true that
the wheat in America is also not
genetically modified, but they still
spray it with glyphosate, which is an
herbicide, to dry it out. In Japan,
these kids are taught that fish in meat
is healthy. Okay? They also do soy, but
not like the soy products they have in
America where it's like soy protein
isolates. In Japan, they consume
fermented soy products, which is way,
way different. In Japan, these children
consume soup and vegetables and seaweed,
which is loaded with iodine. But in that
seaweed, you don't just have iodine. You
have a blend of all of the trace
minerals. You know, the average person
in Japan consumes
nine times the amount of iodine as
people in America. Iodine also is very anti-estrogenic.
