How To Liveto 100 By Dan Buettner

The Anglo-American culture values youth rather than old age and consider it acceptable to place elderly individuals in a nursing home when they can no longer individually care for themselves. The previous statemen can be validated by comparing the values of their family ties, in which Anglo Americans operate themselves under a Nuclear family rather than a Joint Family. A Nuclear family consists of only the two parents and their children, where as in other cultures, a Joint family is valued, which is defines itself as a large number of relatives living under one group. As you analyze the prior statements, one can assume that the Anglo-Americans prefer to follow an Individualistic approach, rather than communal, because it is assumed that they believe it is best to serve your own worth as an individual for the purpose of pursuing the public interest. Furthermore, these group of people stress the importance of cleanliness, orderliness, attractiveness, punctuality, and achievement. (Rosdahl & Kowalski, 2017)

Fukuoka main point of this article is to inform people that there is more to eating than just the nutritional value and now the Western culture values the wrong ideas when it comes to fueling your body. He starts his article off by comparing the daily meal of ancient farmers to todays Western mothers. This comparison shows that even with out scientific facts the farmers were able to live long healthy lives with a simple diet of brown-rice and vegetables. The Western mothers he referred to force bad tasting food down their children’s throats because they believe that is the only way they will live long and strong. Another point Fukuoka makes is that the Western diet separates people from nature, “The diet that results serves to isolate human beings from nature. A fear of nature and a general sense of insecurity are often the unfortunate results” (72) this quote suggests the diet is pushing humans farther and farther from our roots. With this separation we are becoming more isolated and distancing ourselves from nature causing us to fear our very own

The average life expectancy for a human is 78 years old. This number has constantly increased over the years and will continue to. But, have you ever wondered how it would be to live 100 years old? It sounds pretty cool doesn’t it? Wouldn’t it be nice to watch your children, grandchildren and even your great grandchildren grow up? It sounds way too good to be true doesn’t it? Well what I told you that thousands of people around the world located in blue zones live to be 100 years of age or older and are not confined to a wheelchair. Yeah that right, they still perform the same task and activities that we do every day such as driving, hiking, swimming, and even lifting weights! Many of your peers would jump to the opportunity to live that old right? Well you’re sadly mistaken. I believe none of my peers would not be able to nor wish to adopt the habits practiced by people who live in blue zones because of their eating habits, type of lifestyle that they live, and willingness to undergo changes.

When I was growing up I was taught how to hunt, fish and trap animals for food as well as being fed an omnivorous diet, but today I have found that I no longer need animals in my diet. The Vegetarian Times recently found that out of the 311 million people in the US, 7.3 million eat a vegetarian based diet and 22.8 million eat a vegetarian inclined diet. Over the past century people have begun looking into the health implications of plant based diets as a way of improving their health and increase their longevity. This research paper is intended

Life expectancy in the human race has risen dramatically in the past century reaching its highest level for both male and female on record. Between 1981 and 2002 life expectancy at age 50 increases by four and a half years for men and three years for women and two years respectively. By 2002 women who were age of 65 could expect to live to the age of 84 while men could expect to live to the age of 81.

“Under “Eat food”, the writer proposes some practical ways to separate, and defend, real food from the cascade of food like products that now surround and confound us, especially in the supermarket. Under “Not too much” the focus shifts from the foods themselves to the question of how to eat them, the manners, mores, and habits that go into creating a healthy, and pleasing, culture of eating. Lastly under “Mostly plants” he dwells more specifically, and affirmatively, on the best types of foods (not nutrients) to eat” (Pollan,

Life expectancy, or the estimated years of life for a person or group of people, has increased over the years but it is still surprisingly lower than expected in places such as the United States. America ranks twenty-fourth on the life expectancy list under Japan, Australia, France Spain and Italy. What causes this disparity in the ranking and statistics in an advanced industrialized society such as the United States? There are major statistical factors that influence the United States ranking in world life expectancy, involving education level, poverty, race and gender. The diverse groups of people living in the United States affect the health statistics negatively, bringing in influences from education and income levels, race and

Prior to watching the video “In sickness and in wealth”, I knew that there were many facets that played a role in why many people are sick, ill, or have a short life expediency, such as genetics, status, lifestyle, behaviors, etc. But, it was surprising to me that a country like America, who is portrayed as the “wealthiest country in the world”, and Is supposed to represent good health; and have spent so far, over a trillion dollars on health care, have such poor health. In America, according to the video, we live shorter and sicker lives than many industrialized countries, we are ranked 30 in life expediency, and that number keeps on getting higher. It makes me wonder if it's reversible or what type of the major steps as a country we have

Dr. Murray works at Harvard for the School of Public Health and also studies the aging in the United States and their factors. His research has found that Asian American women who live in New Jersey live long then Native American men living in South Dakota because of Chronic Disease. Chronic disease is a long-lasting condition for human health that can for a lifetime. Chronic Disease is found in young and middle age men that have used tobacco or alcohol and have high blood pressure, low fruit and vegetable intake, and aren’t physical active. Wealthy people live longer than people in poverty because of their sources and health care they are provided with. Below median income Caucasian American living in rural area such as Minnesota, Iowa, North

People these days are living longer and longer life’s then previous generations. There are many factors that come into with life expectancy and many things that contribute to it. Past generations have not had the resources of today’s 21st century. The 21st century has been a big ball of evolution for health and living factors.

It is quite interesting to know how long people live, and what is the average lifespan of a human being. Dan Buettner longevity expert in his presentation “How to Live to Be 100+”argues the lifestyle from the world’s longest-lived people and provide a model for extending our longevity through natural movement and purposeful living. He shows how we can compare our lifestyle to those living in the Blue Zone’s and what we can take away from their routines, diets, exercise and other beliefs. In addition, it is important to look at our current lifestyle and habits, if we are living in a way that is going to help us reach our potential maximum life span. With the right lifestyle, there are chances that we may live up to a decade longer. I agree with the Blue Zones lifestyle. In order to live longer and healthier we need to exercise often but make it enjoyable, Avoid eating unhealthy food and establish a Healthy Support System to Reduce Stress.

Nowadays, doctors, scientist, all of us are searching for a way to live a longer or fulfilled

The” Blue Zone” is places in the world where people living longer and healthier without disability and medications. The” Blue Zone” having not only people reach centenarians but super-centenarians. What is the secrets of this longevity? Dan Buettner makes the research with his team National Geographic, and National Institute on Aging to find the people living in those places call Blue Zone, and asks them question about their lifestyle to live longer and healthier. Dan Buettner and his team find five places in the world. Those places call Blue Zone are the Italian Island of Sardinia; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; Costa Rica’s Isolated Nicoya Peninsula; and Ikaria, an Isolated Greek Island. The people living in Blue Zone live a lifestyle witch is plants based diet, move naturally, know your purpose, religion (have faith), 80% rule, drink wine five, belong to the right tribe, down shift, loved ones first, stay social. Can we find these people in Blue Zone and having their same lifestyle in our community here in Fredericksburg? Let choose three lifestyles in Blue Zone and compare to our community here in Fredericksburg: Plants based diet, move naturally, Love one first.

“ We are living longer and healthier” state World Health Organization ( WHO) and all world organizations. Population health is becoming better all over the world and therefore people everywhere are living longer.

In 2000, the composition of the family related metrics kept the similar feature with elders, 3-and-more-generation household, and divorced or widowed marital status. The contribution of this social dimension in 2000 decreased to 13.68% (the fourth factor). In 2010, family related features mentioned above split into two principal factors, i.e. elders with health concerns for the third factor and married population with children aged between 0 and 14 for the fourth factor, showing an urbanization trend with aging society as well as smaller-sized family.
