Chicken has more than twice the amount of arginine than pork or beef. Arginine makes nitric oxide and that gives you lots of healthful attributes like heart condition, muscle, and much more. Check out the 4 Nobel Prize Winners for their work on nitric oxide.
Get your facts straight: not all Costa Ricans live longer, they have a peninsula that is a "blue zone". And also they aren't the longest lived, Sardinians, live longer and so do people in some Japanese islands.
Thomas, diet is important, but it is not everything. Sunshine, and first light [red light pre-dawn" activity may be more important [vitamin D, melatonin and daily exercise, and a kind climate]. "Rural low income earners" means having to get up at dawn to eke out a living and take care of animals everyday. No holidays. "Comfort, ease and overeating" may be what is killing us high income earners.
My girlfriend won’t let me eat out of a box or a bag. She makes all the food by hand and I can tell from my blood pressure that it has gone down and she’s an awesome cook.
Interesting correlation between hard water and low heart disease. The French have long been known to have a relatively low level of coronary disease, despite having I diet rich in saturated fats. I’ve not on both trips to Paris that their water tastes terrible (compared to home in Sydney, Australia), and is hard. So Thomas, you can now also look to the French to associate low coronary disease and hard water, too!
did you just say woop dee doo, fibre? as if its not worth a jot? Fibre is fermented in the gut into short chain fatty acids and butyric acid, which your body uses to repair arteries. We need about 25g of it a day. If you don't get this magical acid, you're heading towards a cardiac event later in life. Are you a trained nutritionist?
America is a wicked place that profits from the bad health of its people. That is clear all that wealth yet disease is rampant. the same products in the uk have far less chemicals why?
Much of Costa Rica also has life expectancy over 90. The blue zone thing is marketing. Also, They say the blue zone is “shrinking” but it’s really just all these old white people retiring there after having terrible diets for their whole lives and dying earlier than the locals.
Your maths is completely ludicrous. Let’s just say for the sake of argument that at 60 the average fat diabetic American is expected to live to 77 years or longer. So the average dude in this Costa Rica area has a life expectancy of seven times that of the sad American. 7×7 = 49 even in America, so these Costa Ricans are going to live to 119 on average if they reach 60. I can understand The dietary and the physics, but, please get your figures right. I am aware of the country that does math and not mathematics/maths is never going to amount to anything. As my Apple is obviously this stupid as you, it won’t allow me to change the part where I wrote expected to live to77 should’ve read expect to live to70. I.e. another seven years
I just read an article about Nicoya’s longevity in Stanford Medicine Magazine. It seems some of the famed longevity is — sadly — starting to wane.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
But even in Nicoya, some of them are starting to slip. “As more Western foods and modes of transportation become common in Nicoya, we’re seeing the blue zone effect become more tenuous,” said Rehkopf. It’s still there — but the life expectancy of the population born around the 1940s and 1950s is dipping.
“These people are losing the advantage seen by previous generations,” said Rosero-Bixby. “It’s not uncommon to see people in Nicoya live to be in their 90s, but we’re seeing that number slip back down into the 80s.” It’s not clear why, but levels of diabetes are increasing across Costa Rica — potentially one key indicator of change. If the trend continues, the “Nicoya effect” could be lost entirely over the next several decades.
That’s not to say that all blue zones are on the way out. Nearly 6,000 miles away, in Denmark, several new hot spots for longevity are emerging. A report in 2018 pointed to some regions of the country seeing statistically longer life spans, raising the question of whether more blue zones are yet to be identified. Rehkopf suspects persistent activity, as opposed to spurts of rigorous exercise, might play a big role. Biking is the main form of transportation in Denmark; it’s built into their culture and infrastructure.
3:19 what I don’t like about the studies less about videos that cover them in the shallow way of YouTube is the inability for the research to take into account the Fukushima meltdown that essentially destroyed the blue zone viability of Japan. There hasn’t been any studies to see if that radiation melt water has changed the dynamic.
Likely the reason for the high level of vitality and the blue zones Hass to come down to glycine and taurine intakes of those populations being sky high. Conversely, taurine intake in the process world is nonexistent on top of the fact that the process food lifestyle, eviscerates storage of those things.
Without glycine and taurine, All of the various markers discovered by David Sinclair are we routed from repair of aging to fighting off infections
What a weird take on the NIcoyan diet. They eat a very high carb almost vegetarian diet with relatively small amounts of meat. And this guy's take away is to eat chicken, minerals and squash. Weird. At least he casually mentions that they eat fruit, rice, beans and corn. But he forgets to mention they eat tons of it. There ancestors were the "people of the corn" after all
Once we surrender to big pharma and big food industry we are dead. Remember: safe and effective? They are effective in reducing us, that is their agenda.
Don't compare the US with any other country as regards health. It's unhealthiest place in the world which continuously tries to dump it's terrible eating habits on the rest of the world through the media and advertising.
Hey brother good video, but your used to good healthy foods from where you are at, but im from south east FLA, and Retirement in Costa Rica, i love black beans and organic vegetables eggs coffee, i eat better in C,R, even the school kids in C,R, eat healthy then the school kids in the U,S, thank you,
Life expectancy at 60 cannot possibly be 7 times longer than Japan. Japan life expectancy is over 80, at 60 therefore it’s well over 20. Costa Ricans don’t live to 200.
GREAT VIDEO PURA VIDA A LEARNING VIDEO 100%+ TRUTHFUL👍, Hey brother, my wife is from C,R, her Mother past away at 100yrs old❤, we go to Costa Rica alot since 1993, something's a year, and six months a year, i know lots of Costaricans in Guanacaste, one i know a Juan he is 98,yrs old ride is bike and wdlks about 2, miles evry day, eats organic vegetables eggs coffee, bed at, 8pm up at 5am to work in his Garden till 10,am, and All this with Beautiful Wife at 96,yrs old❤, use to ride his horse but thier grandkids stop them , and he tells me that hard work keeps you YOUNGER IN LIFE❤🎉, married together for 65,yrs❤ , I always take advice form them ,❤ thank you for this PURA VIDA VIDEO❤
Just a comment on hard water. When I was in high school me moved to a small town in eastern Kansas, we had hard water with high lime content, it was a battle to keep the faucets clear. One time a salesman came to the house to sell my mon and stepdad on a water softener, my mom declined. She told him that there are always signs recognizing some citizens 95th, 100th birthday, so how bad could the water be?
The "Very low instance of medications" alone could account for extremely long health span and vitality. Also, no corporate, mass food production results in nutrition dense food. Decentralized medical and food production is a good start.
I believe religion also plays a role, maybe just a small role but I'm 100% sure God exists and there's an afterlife which I think it helps me have peace of mind for my future. I don't visit any temple but sometimes I like to read the Bible. Live one day at a time and leave the future in God's hand! ♥
Chicken shish kabobs are good way to get yellow squash, chicken, tomatoes, zucchini, onions and mushrooms in one easy to make meals!
Phenomenal soil in CR it’s so fertile you put a stick in the ground and it grows
this dude pretending they don't eat tons of starch
I read that overconsumption of chicken increases the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Awesome video! Very educational. Will apply all nuggets. 😊

Cigarette smoking is practiced by 20 million Japanese citizens.
I read where spring water comes from snow or? high on mountains and has pollution or radiation?
Their water is pure and clean fresh air
What we were impressed with hardly any pharmaceutical and hospitals fresh food walk everywhere
Costa Rica: Pura Vida, ¿vertad?

my sister with diabetes was there she was amazed at how much food she could eat without effecting her blood sugar compared to here
America is a wicked place that profits from the bad health of its people. That is clear all that wealth yet disease is rampant. the same products in the uk have far less chemicals why?
Well my father is 86 … he EAts everything he wants … most of his life he looked/ looks 9 months pregnant with twins ..
