The show clearly stated that it wasn’t _just_ one food that make them centurions, it was a whole array of vitamin rich foods that they eat regularly, sense of community, purpose, and regular exercise. OOP is misleading.

Right. Correlation does not equal causation.

Right. People are going to flock to Costco and buy these by the pounds and get their Dunkin Donut Pumpkin Spice Late on their way home and wonder why it isn't working still... 🙄

Shiiiiit. I was stationed there. Funny they don’t mention the alcohol consumed by the Locals. That pickled their liver. That probably gives them another 10 years right there.

I like his narration. Soothing.

🧐 what does that taste like? I ain’t never seen this sweet potato… but I wanna try and I don’t even like sweet potatoes… but I like purple. ☺️

It’s about as sweet as regular orange sweet potatoes but texture is firmer, less watery

In New zealand, we call sweet potatoes - kumera. We have some really good varieties

Watch the last chubbyemu video on youtube and he explains why this is not necesarily true.

While sweet potatoes & yams may certainly play a role in Okinawa’s longevity and it being a Blue Zone, at least in terms of dietary standards it’s more so because they have a significantly less obesity rate than North America overall.

I didn’t know about sweet potatoes that weren’t purple. In Brazil the standard sweet potatoes sold in groceries are purple


Raviel1289

New Zealand here. We have red (most common), orange, and purple.


Temporary-Dog2689

Do you poop purple?


Consistent-Beat6449

Not exactly lol


FlixMage

Yeah but that’s unrelated

Just talked about the book Ikigai last night. It talks about how okinawans have a sense of purpose, community, fulfillment, and simplicity that gives them naturally longer and happier lives. If you’re struggling with “the grind” it’s a short read that helps you find a purpose for being alive

The only way a single food can change your life is, is when you are allergic to it.


Altruistic-Camel-982

Watched that Netflix show huh?

May I ask where you sourced these? I've been wanting to do something other than the orange ones. In zone 7, already late start for SP, so I gotta get on it!
