This video is an “oldie but goodie” about the high vegetable diet of the Okinawan’s when they were the longest living culture in the world. The real traditional diet of the longest living Okinawans was mostly vegetables with very high consumption of sweet potato as their “good” or starchy carbohydrate. Just Watch!

This is why their diet and health has fallen off. It’s not their genes it was the change in their lifestyle… More fast foods, more animal products, more processed carbs, less physical activity, etc. Watch!….”It’s Your Lifestyle Not Your Genes That Protect You From Chronic Diseases (Heart Disease, Diabetes, Obesity, Alzheimer’s, etc.)

This is how it could be…our longevity and healthy aging! “ Healthy Lifestyle and Diet (mostly plants) and Okinawan Longevity” (3:00 min)

and

The “ Longevity” Foods of the Okinawan Centenarians – An Interview with Craig Willcox, PhD Vegetables are king! And eat mainly whole, unprocessed carbs and you will be fine!

…and here my interview with Dr. Willcox’s twin brother Bradley Willcox, MD a geriatric specialist at Kuakini Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. “ The Okinawan Centenarians – A Model of Healthy Aging to Study and Learn From ” – An Interview with Bradley Willcox, MD

P.S. You will hear continually that the Covid-19 virus is most deadly in those who are compromised…The elderly and those who have heart disease, diabetes, etc. Well, I don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but heart disease and diabetics are “reversible” with a whole-food plant based diet. That would be the best way to optimize your immune system and stay well. Get rid of all the high risk diseases that cause you to be more susceptible to Covid-19 by eating an unprocessed plant-based diet.

Be Well,

Kirk
