vegetarianism and longevity

[Guest guest]

hi Ted,

 

regarding longevity and vegetarianism.

 

" Healthy at 100 " which examines the cultures of the four

longest-living peoples in different,

unrelated parts of the world. These people have been carefully

documented since the 1950's by major universities.

What they have in common is that they eat tons of fresh

fruits and vegetables, they walk and work a good amount

every day, they eat little or no animal products and they

have a strong community interactions/social life.

 

also, aging is viewed as a positive, respected thing.

 

In these places, it is common to live past 100, but without illnesses

or frailties.

 

These societies of the four longest living recorded and documented

centenarians are the Okinawa, the Vilcabamba, the Hunza, and the

Abkhasia. In Russia, India, South America and Japan.
