All the comments arguing about which diet is best ... Michael Pollan said it best. "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Among his other 'rules', basically moderation. Restriction diets are fun (haha, NOT) and I have utmost respect for veg/vegans who do it for ETHICAL reasons. But for health, Michael Pollan has it right. Add in daily exercise, plenty of sleep, lowered stress, optimal weight, and you will feel great. Oh, and don't forget to floss!

Nutrition is the most important part of slowing down the aging process and aging gracefully. Maximizing health and energy by eating right and exercising is the link to staying younger and healthier.

RIP, Vicky, thank you for your love ❤

Even though Vicky Newman died in 2020, I consider this lecture still one of the best there are. There is nothing explosive/sensational/conspiratorial in here, just good, decent advice that we essentially all know but not necessarily want to hear. Once the problem that actually encouraged/forced me to overeat was removed, a similar approach allowed me to lose over 60 kg and I am now slowly approaching my personal ideal weight. I most certainly share her love for sardines. Incidentally, while I cannot be 100% sure, it looks as if the sardines she is brandishing, are my own favourite type, spring water Brunswick. I used to prefer frozen sardines and taste-wise I still do, but the COVID-19 pandemic changed that since canned sardines are so much easier to stock up on without overcrowding my small bachelor-suite freezer.

Walk everyday Drink water Eat greens Rest Vitamins Stay away from toxic people Laugh

And for anyone interested -- because it appears that when people watch these presentations that if they dont say GO VEGAN within the first few minutes everything is dismissed -- she in fact does mention beans, peas and lentils along with nuts and seeds as protein sources at 1:01:49. Shes giving a balanced presentation and one that will be manageable for everyone, including meat eaters. She distinctly states to reduce consumption.

Her voice is soothing. Sorry to hear she passed away. Condolences to her loved ones.

I always make time for the gym like hour and half working on different muscle groups, and focusing on mental health is huge. Thanks for the videos man. Love to be a better version of myself

The exercise for a few minutes every hour was very enlightening. I hadn’t thought about that because we’re often told we have to do something for at least 30 minutes a day etc.

Just keep moving and eat fruits and vegetables!!!! Enjoy life and the people around you and help others. It’s really that simple! Wishing You Great Health Abundant Happiness and Outrageous Love

I know that my diet is on the right track I love adding heated cherry tomatoes in my breakfast omelette with other herbs and spices. When I eat the omelette do so without meat with fresh fruit to end my meal. Thank you for presenting this nutrition lecture. Great information.

Best information for my age I am 82 years old will listen to this often thanks

So right about the fallacy of calorie restriction! I read 2 of these longevity studies and, in a chimpanzee study, the calorie-restricted diet lowered incidence of heart disease, cancer and diabetes, which these chimps regularly have. The ridiculous thing about it was that their regular diet was a combination of wheat, soybeans (with their many anti-nutrients that prevent digestion and nutrient absorption), refined sugar and soybean oil (with its inflammatory omega 6 fat linoleic acid), with a little egg protein. This is utterly different from their diet in the wild, which is 57% fruit and the rest small mammals, insect larvae, earthworms, honey, eggs, and soil. So, of course limiting the intake of wheat, soybeans, sugar and soybean oil would stop the development of heart disease, cancer and diabetes! The other study claimed that calorie restriction in humans increased longevity, but they taught the experimental group exactly what to eat, as well as how many calories to eat. So, you simply can’t say that the results were from calorie restriction alone. Instead, it may have been just from eating completely different, though unidentified, foods, from the usual awful American diet, which is rather like the chimpanzee diet of a lot of soybeans, wheat, sugar and soybean oil! I stopped eating meat when I was 20, and I had very low cholesterol and blood sugar, and never had heart disease, cancer, or diabetes. However, I found that eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and olive oil, rather than meat and meat fat, was very stimulating to my mind, plus I developed gluten and dairy intolerance, and osteopenia. I turned all this around by eating the foods that my ancestors were eating in the 1800’s, basically the traditional Northern European diet. I now eat foods like sourdough rye bread with pork liver pate and fermented beets, raw goat milk and cheese, pea and ham soup, French lettuce soup, seafood, oatmeal and grated raw apple, pea shoots and parsley, and sauerkraut. This is very nourishing food, so I don’t have any need for caffeine, chocolate, wine, or sugar, and I feel stronger and calmer than I have since I was 20, and I’m now 65.

I could listen to her all day long, she's awesome

WFBP and sugarfree since oktober 2018 and lost 20 kilo's. My metabolic age went to 23 years, while I am 38 years old. So much energy that I sport 3 times a week.

Turnips & rutabagas are delish roasted in the oven with some carrots and beets and rosemary & tiny amout of olive oil...try it out!!! Beautiful colors!

This was extremely informative. Thank you so much

Very well-researched and fine-made video this is.

Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes.

The best nutrition advice for 2020 is right here from Vicky Newman in February of 2013!

Wow almost all of us will be centenarians! First it was the Japanese who lived past the 100th mark, then the Italians then the Sardinians,then the Costa Rican’s, the Greeks, etc. What a wonderful world this world is!

What about all the lectins in beans & certain vegetables. What about the high carb=sugar levels in things like mung beans? And high fructose sugars in many fruits?

Excellent lecture, thank you.

My grandfather had longevity. He died in 1989 at the age of the of 96.

Another advise. Life in near areas where trees dense areas, hill, near mountanius areas. Lots of pure oxygen 24 hours. A big ventilationn fan reverse to draw plenty freshm air into your living areas and yr sleeping rooms. Lots of fresh oxygen.

(1) circulation is the constant rebalancing the electrolytes/minerals, nutrients, and waste products in the body - the faster the circulation the faster the body lose water and the more water is need to replace the water lost. (2) probiotics require natural dietary fiber to work. (3) non caloric sweeteners still activate hormones that keep insulin levels up - when working to lower insulin levels down non caloric sweeteners need to be eliminated. (4) a diabetes and liver disease requires strict carbohydrate dietary limits. (5) Dietary intake of seed oils will undo dietary antioxidants. (6) Fructose from fruits can cause problems for diabetics. (7) Reducing seed oils will reduce inflammation (8) regular intermittent reduces inflammation. (9) reducing all carbohydrates including whole grains will help reduce inflammation

Suggestion: if you increase the speed from normal to 1.25, you get thru it faster and it still sounds fine.

Cool you can see a mixture of the old paradigms and the new mixing. Promotes calorie regulation which is utterly useless but then warns against ALL carbs. Warns against fat but then warns against juiced fruit. You can see the progress happening.

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

THANKS

With all the pollution in the oceans, the antibiotics, and growth hormones, and saturated fat, cholesterol, in a little bit of meat be good for us?

Pretty good talk, nice points about grandparents having different quality foods also.

For once, a nutritional lecture that isn't completely mired in pseudoscience and stupid fads. Well done, Vicky! There were a couple of things that I was skeptical about (the idea that organic = healthier, for example) but other than that, this was pretty good and informative!

Good speaker, practical advice

Excellent information and very practical for everyone to know at this time to live more happy and healthy. Thank you. Dr. Arthur

I use planty of olives with salads in stead of olive oil. Omega3 from broken flax seed is much better than from fish which has also lots of cholesterol, saturated fats and sea pollution (mercury!!!)

Thanks very much, Vicky, for your amazing lecture with lots of useful information, so articulately and elegantly delivered 😎❤️

Thank you very much! 👏👏👏🥰💪

The eight glasses of water a day was part of some marketing campaign. So was the 10,000 steps a day, which is approximately five miles. That contradicts the five minutes per hour the speaker said was optimal.

I am from New Delhi India. It's a great talk very information. Thank you. All true and scientific. 👌🙏🏻

Very useful

Many Montagnard live longevity I know they work hard on the field plants their own vegetables also they eat a lot wild vegetables from forest...drink water from mountain, laugh, sleep well , happy all the time...they didn’t have car or motorcycle they walked every day from village to their field.

Interesting. Nice lady. Yes the less you eat the better off you will be. Here's the thing: the standard American diet is so bad and heavy with fructose and manufactured seed oils, almost anything is better.

I have given up beef 12 years ago. Feel better with rice and grains from other countries that are organic and full of minerals pus veggies and fruit. no processed food.Looks like I am doing everything she said on the list.

Nope, tried it for years. We are not built to eat so many greens. I went keto. I'm now 70 lbs lighter, healthy and all this at 64

Great research-based overview of for optimizing health. Thanks for posting!

love this video its great impact for humanity.

BMI should be 18.5 - 25 not 25 - 30!!... and Tomato paste yes, but Tomato Sauce?? Not good... it's full of sugar and salt. And that Michael Pollen quote is nothing new... I don't know why people think it's so profound. He's a journalist not a health expert and Hippocrates said it all centuries ago! I do agree about avoiding farmed salmon and choosing organic (if you can afford it) so that we discourage the use of pesticides.

She mentions that you need about 2000 C in order to have the nutrients that your body needs. A Calorie is a unit of energy, there is no relationship between a common understanding of Calories and nutrition. If you ingest any empty Calories (soda/sugar...) then you either deplete your nutrients or eat more to make up for it. I agree with all of the foods she recommends, and if you do eat lightly processed real food then you will not even need 2000 C to maintain health.

I agree with 80% of what was said. Mostly plants yes, I'd cut out the animal products all together. Whole foods plant based so no olive oil, too processed. You get the best omega 3s from algae (where the fishes get theirs)

Shout Out to Dr Enqi

She speaks the true this is good thank you for the great information. I appreciate you.

Thanks for sharing

Very light on science; pretty much the same pop-diet advice that's on the morning news/gossip shows.

Very informative 🙏🏾

Whole foods plant based diet...and YES to carbs!

Extremely Thankful for this Brilliant video!

Vicky, this is great! I am going to add the link to this video to my blog. You are so inspiring. Did you know I have been in the ENERGY study for the last two years? I can't remember if I told you last year when I saw you.

Anyone less think that listening about how much calcium a sardine or whatever has is mind numbing?

....and remember the good coconut oil(a good saturated fat). I have improved my cognitive properties and I notice it is a very good anti-inflamatory in my fingers

I’m very disheartened that’s your reference to cholesterol represents outdated information as well as amount of calcium needed. According to recent clinical studies people only need 300 to 500 mg a day

Counting calories has been good for me. I lost about 80 pounds in a year.

I see no credit to Dr David Sinclair.

Great lecture on nutrition

But what's the point of living long life.

BRILLIANT

Thank you ! Excellent ! Bravo !

Thanks for the infos

what about pestisides

Who lives long eating white rice? The starch is just the primary calorie source one should rely. Starch isn't the causation of disease, it is the meat and animal products. I don't have the statistics memorized nor the studies on hand. If you want to learn more just look up those doctors I mentioned. There a type and a click away..

1300 KCAL is too little to get all necessary NUTRIENTS? Wow! Calories and nutrients are two different categories of nutrition. A sufficient amount of key nutrients, excluding calories, are certainly available from food containg even smaller amount of calories.

Amen below

The most effective anti inflammatory diet is a whole food plant based diet. The healthiest fats are not from oil, but from avocados, nuts and seeds.

I agree on the meat and animal products causing most of the problems. This video also cautions against eating too much meat. So what do you disagree with?

Shocking that you did not include legumes, lentils and beans when talking about sources of protein. Sad.

spoons, cups, portions............the world is on the decimal system for so many decades. How can a university come up with such a clumsy measuring ways? I am in Europe , all those recommendations leave me totally puzzled about how much is actually meant. (haha at least mention your cupsize with it ;-)

Low calorie like 1,300 calories is doable if you get most of your micronutrients from unprocessed unrefined mushrooms & vegetables and limit animal products to around 5% or 0%, and use a vitamin b12 supplement. Easy to do low calorie diet by restricting animal products to 5% or 0%, no processed food, no sweeteners, no juice, no oil, no nuts, no seeds, no avocado, no coconut, no cacao. Can also limit fruits. 1949 okinawa diet seems to be 200 calories less than the 2,000 calories they needed.

Look up fermenting foods

Actually This info more helpfull thank you And I hope to earn more benifits more than what expected it .

Very nice thank you. I thought heating olive oil isn't a good thing causing it to breakdown. ???loved the lecture though nicely done.

1. Shibata H., Nagai H., Haga H., Yasumura S., Suzuki T., Suyama Y. Nutrition for the Japanese elderly. Nutr & Health. 1992; 8(2-3): 165-75.

HAHAH which American is below 1800 Cals? maybe she is, but for a normal American, who needs some health fasting for 7 days for autophagy, weightloss and against cancer. Then they should switch to healthy whole food maybe even mostly plant based diet with moderate sport.

Couldn't listen to the end. The speaker seems very nice and bright but: --she provides conclusions without citing the supporting evidence or describing the mechanisms from which the conclusions are drawn, --her speaking style is more soporific than a turkey dinner (I'm a vegetarian, BTW)

nutritional advise and than you put WHEAT / BREAD / PASTA ? I don't think so

No 👎 intermittent fasting! Yippee!🏊‍♂️🏋

Well, there are endotoxins in grass fed meats too...because it's dead meat. The societies or populations best known for health & longevity ate *little* meat if any...Okinawans (traditionally) ate veggies, rice, sweet potatoes and small amounts of fish or meat...not the other way around. Just pointing this out.

Here's one you can cut and paste -- he explains how long Okinawan's with a staple of sweet potatoes are living.(Skip to 8:00): Dr. Neal Barnard speaking about the fact that humans are biologically plant-based eaters

Isaiah 65:20 - No child will die in infancy; everyone will live a very long life. Anyone a hundred years old will be considered young, and to die younger than that will be considered a curse. Also John 3:15, 1John 5: 11,13, John17;3 all promise ETERNAL LIFE for believers in Jesus. Acts 2: 38 - Repent & be water baptized for the forgiveness of sins (in thought, word and deed ) and for the gift of Holy Spirit. Mark 16:16 - The person who believes and is baptized is saved ; the person who believes not is condemned.

Great video my broskie

Thank god I watched this ay 1.25x the seep, where she sounds almost natural. Otherwise it would have felt lik I spent my whole evening listening!

I wrote "potatoes and corn" not sweet potatoes as a staple (and Okinawas eat tons of veggies, too, and pork and fish bones!). Look at longevity (or lack of) in corn-based diets or how long the Irish lived off potatoes. The video above says the same thing you're writing: eat mostly plants. I don't see why you think it's an atrocity.

This women died in 2020 age 74

Raw milk has always been the best to consume. Whare is this fact?

My cup can carry half of a liter coffee in it.

Bad food didn't exist until European science

9 vegetable servings per day! Let's be practical, who besides a nutritionist in an elderly home has the time, patience and available attention to implement that? That's the best case I've heard for dietary supplements. Two pieces of criticism: 1) no mention of coconut oil and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oils and 2) could have stressed the inflammatory property of most carbs leaving the impression that whole wheat and beans may be a perfectly safe source of energy and protein, which I don't believe.

Good tips and advice.

Did we watch the same lecture? I'm a vegan too, but these recommendations are mostly sound. A whole plant (esp Brassica, Allium, berries, mushrooms, beans, tubers, herbs & spices) vegan diet with minimal added fat/salt/sugar + vitamins B12 & D may be optimal, but every step towards that goal helps. See v=s1JF9ylY_AM for why the perfect may be the enemy of the good. I do think Newman (like the USDA) errs on the high side with respect to protein & calcium requirements.

Carbohydrates are fine if they are high fiber

Aging can be succesful these days.
