just to mention two: vast amounts of exercise, and her food looks quite anti-peat. she's 91 in the video.

But being conscious of your diet can mean being conscious of your diet when your diet is not a diet that promotes health, while you are under the illusion that it does. Not YOU, per se, don't take it personally. You are of the opinion that longevity and health are first genetic? Except that there are innumerable examples to the contrary, of which I am sure you are well aware. Is longevity genetic? Then is health genetic? Then how about the very peaty epigenetic argument?Should we be conscious of our diet? Sure. Should we exercise? Sure. Should we avoid smoking, drugs, and alcohol? Sure. We should also avoid Bro-science, from no matter where it may originate. The best advice regarding longevity, response to exercise, etc. is to choose your parents wisely, and for those who cannot choose, let's begin a support group (I'll be the first to join). The bottom line, it is much easier to destroy our health than it is to extend life. Avoid the dissipation acts, engage in the positive acts, but don't believe the hype presented here or anywhere else.
In this case, I would think that this has been her diet all along, since it looks like a very typical traditional Japanese diet. However, this is an assumption, nowhere is this mentioned in the video, except that she started exercising at 65 in order to lose weight that her husband was disapproving of.Re the diet component - I'm always curious whether this has been the diet throughout their lives. If it's their diet now, that doesn't mean it's the reason they've ended up in such good shape. It'd be more interesting to examine what she ate through her 20s-60s.
Could you speak more clearly please? I don't reckon anyone here understood what you said. In any case, I am here for the same reason many people are, perhaps the same reason you are here. I am interested in health topics and like to see different points of view. Also, I am interested in the way that science works. It's curious, to say the least, that what appears to be true -even to one!- then turns out not to be. Plus, if we are interested in RP, isn't always interesting to see counterexamples. Wouldn't you like to hear RP dissect her case and explain what's going on with this lady who goes for a run before eating breakfast, and is doing push ups at 3pm, and vlogging all day while doing exercise and teaching dozens of people?Another? Another, meaning there are more.
If so, why are you here participating on the Ray Peat Forum? Rhetorical.
There is no Ray Peat diet. Definitely a short coming of our forum. Easy to understand how one may think that if only coming to the forum, or listening to podcasts, or even the book writers, or those growing their YouTube channel or business- using those resources that support the vernacular.
that would be something.Instead of disproving Peat, why doesn't someone prove Peat? Lets see some thriving toned 90 year olds that have been drinking copious amounts of OJ and doing no exercise for 30 years?
right onLong-lived person eats diet consisting of mostly carbohydrate, low-moderate protein and some fat
But... mackerel!!! Ray Peat CANNOT Recover.
Sounds like he's... calorie-restricted.What people don't want to accept is that some people will live long on bad diets and with bad habits, simply because of their predetermined make up or fate. Not even looking at it from a genetics point, more a spiritual/destiny thing.
Example, one of my good friend's father is 88 now. He's been an bad alcoholic since he was 14. He was raised in an orphanage, lived through a war and worked in coal mines until moving to Canada in his early 40s. He also doesn't eat much food and has always smoked cigars ever since I knew him. The dude has a full head of hair and looks extremely healthy for his age. He's also still mobile and with it cognitively. A Peat diet and supplements aren't even on the radar. Take what you want and leave the rest. Just understand that some things go beyond logic or science and the sooner we accept that, the sooner people can live their normal life (not the ocd life we all experience here)..
