blackhawkxx Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Since 2013, Hong Kong has sustained the world's highest life expectancy at birth—a key indicator of population health. The reasons behind this achievement remain poorly understood but are of great relevance to both rapidly developing and high-income regions. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(21)00208-5/fulltext Hong Kong, at 136.31 kilograms (301 pounds) per capita, eats more meat than any other country in the world on an annual basis. Its citizens have a particular predilection for pork and chicken, accounting for over 80 percent of the meat eaten, as these represent a staple of Cantonese cuisine. As well being the all-round biggest meat-lover, Hong Kong also consumes more pork than any other country, at 55.24 kilograms per capita annually. https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-countries-meat-consumption-most-highest-hong-kong-usa-1940339 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Knievel Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Dead Doctors Don’t Lie. There are nutrients we can only get by consuming meat. Nutrients we need for good health. Plant based protein cannot provide these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some here think eating truckloads of corn and soybean products, avoiding meat and dairy is the key. Lol. Having said that not all chicken and pork are created equal. Mass produced chicken in United States is horrible, it does not even tastes like proper chicken. Even organic varieties are iffy sometimes. Same for dairy and eggs. I don't and can't drink non organic milk in United States. White 1.99$ eggs per dozen are nasty as well. Just plain horrible, testes like shit. Same for cheap yogurt and farmers cheese. You can buy any chicken, eggs, dairy in Poland, and it tastes better vs. way more expensive organic counterparts in United States. I'm pretty sure average meat is Hong Kong is indefinitely better quality vs. mass produced counterparts in United States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows that humans do best on meat based diets. I really have no clue what the truth is, or whether there even is a truth. To know if meat is the secret to their good health we'd have to know how their animals are treated compared to ours, how they're generally cooked compared to us, as well as the many factors in their average daily lives vs. ours, and whether they have natural attributes that make their bodies want meat more than ours. Too much BS, eat what works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poida Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 this is part of an article from 2021. A recipe for ageing well The lifestyle ingredients of longevity are so routinely effective as to feel almost predictive of long life. Could there be a "recipe" for successful ageing? Regions around the world known as "blue zones" — where the populations have unusually high numbers of centenarians – offer clues. The islands of Sardinia in Italy, Ikaria in Greece and Okinawa in Japan as well as Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula and California's community of Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda make up five zones where residents outlive the rest of the world. Researchers have also distilled nine traits of these communities that are credited with underpinning each community's health. They include: Regular physical activity that is a part of the lifestyle like walking to the shops rather than using a vehicle. Having something meaningful that motivates you to get up every day. Rhythms and rituals that reduce stress. In Okinawa the women enjoy tea ceremonies, the Loma Linda religious community has prayer groups and in Italy and Greece the siesta fills the stress release gap. A healthy plant-based diet, that's also low in meat, fish and dairy. Not just a healthy diet, but eating patterns that favour being 80 per cent full, or "hara hachi bu" as Confucious used to teach. It's a philosophy that's been taken up by the Western wellness culture's 5:2 or 16:8 diet trends Blue zone cultures love a drink – but in very moderate amounts. Engaging in social groups that are focused around healthy activities. Religion is good for long life – perhaps because it encourages social connections and rituals offer a stress-reducing dimension. Maintaining close relationships between family members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
