8:45 Looking at what many people eat in Sardinia
Have you ever wondered if pasta is bad, why do Italians live so long? Do Italians know the secret to longevity? In this video, I’m going to share with you why this is. You’re also going to see an interview I did with a woman from Sardinia. We’re going to talk about what exactly Sardinians eat.
In Liguria, Italians live longer than any other region in Europe.
In Sardinia, Italians are tied with Japan as living the longest.
Out of 1091 residents aged over 105 years old, 951 of them are female. This is because of estrogen. Estrogen can act as an antioxidant and will slow down the free radical exposure and damage to the DNA.
What’s so different about the pasta in Europe?
• There is no glyphosate.
• It’s not enriched with iron and synthetic vitamins.
A few more points about pasta:
• The type of wheat that’s used for pasta is durum wheat, which is higher in protein and digests very slowly.
• Pasta will not spike your blood sugars initially, but it will spike your blood sugars within a few hours.
• It has a glycemic index of 45-50 compared to bread which is 70
I am not recommending pasta. I’m just saying that the quality of pasta is better in Italy than in America.
The typical Italian diet in Sardinia:
• Meat - (pork)
• Fish
• Shellfish
• Vegetables (lots of artichokes)
• Olive oil
• Mirto (digestive)
• Not much sugar
• Not much pasta
• Some bread
• Some wine
• Some beer
She also believes a secret behind Sardinian’s longevity is the low-stress lifestyle and walking.

Sardinian here, born and raised in the island.
Now, about centenerians and their diet, you have to understand a couple of things : life in Sardinia, let's say in 1920 or even earlier, was very very different from what it is today. Sardinia was a very poor, remote place (expecially those villages in the mountains where people live the longest). Child mortality was very high back then (in Italy not only Sardinia) and people didn't have access to stuff like antibiotics or vaccines, so the ones who grew up, grew up to be strong.They used to walk/work a lot in the countryside (see physical activity). The food? It's defenetly true that Sardinians weren't vegeterians/vegan at all, but they couldn't afford to eat animal products everyday. They do ate pecorino cheese (99% of them were shepards), but not even remotely the amounts of what they do today. Meat was consumed maybe once a month, and it was mainly pork or lamb. Fish/sea food? Not really. Sardinians centenarians are expecially concentrated in a region called Ogliastra, but let's say in most of the inland. This is a mountain region, near the sea (of course it's an island). None of them were fishermen, only shepards. When talking about Sardinian centenerians, we're talking about people who for the first 30-40 years of their lives at least, ate very few calories. They used to consume way more vegetables and wild herbs (pumpkin, zucchini, celery, potatoes, carrots, beans, lentils, cauliflower, wild fennel etc.) than what they do today. One staple dish was minestrone ( vegetables and legumes soup, sometimes with the addition of small chunks of lard or pork skin) and some olive oil. They ate some bread everyday (sour dough and not refined), some cheese (almost everyday) and small amounts of fruits (apples, figs, pears, oranges). Pasta back then in Sardinia wasn't eaten very often and homemade "sweets" or "dessert" were only eaten during holydays or special occasions (eg. weddings), so maybe 4-5 times a year.
What the lady says it's true : sardinians now consume a lot of beer, even too much, but back then there was no beer, only homemade red wine, and centenarians drank it everyday in small amounts, with dinner, ; and that "digestive" she was talking about it's called "mirto", wich is a liqueur made by the myrtle plant, not a berry eaten in it's natural form. Today, shepards don't walk nearly as much as they grandfathers or grand grand fathers used to, because of the cars, and they eat way more cheese and meat, expecially lots of cured meat (salami, prosciutto, pancetta, lard ect) forgetting to eat their vegetables and legumes. As a matter of fact, in those same villages, you can now see some very fat people too. Cancer has increased too, and Sardinia has lots of cases of different autoimmune diseases (probably not related to diet though). I guess this generation of centenarians and the next, would be probably the last, not only because of their modified eating habits, but also because Sardinia is a very polluted area.
In a nutshell, Sardinians/centenarians, ate way more vegetables and healthy carbs compared to today, they never ate a ketogenic diet, but they defenetly did experience some prolonged fasting times, due to poverty and lack of abundance of food, expecially in their younger years... ;-)

I'm Texan, and my great grandma was well over 100 when she died.
Even in her late 90s she would ride several miles a day on her exercise bike.
Not being sedentary, not polluting your body, and low stress are three of the biggest keys to longevity.

Its your American work life that's killing you all. Working weekends, 1 week a year holiday. Easy access to fast food. I lived in Houston, now I live in Italy. Chronic stress is a killer.

I spent 10 days in Italy with my daughter in June. The pizza crust and pastas were made with Semolina flour without the wheat being grown with the toxic chemicals. My nose never ran when I was in Italy. When I eat bread or anything wheat based in the United States, my nose runs within minutes.

For those who don't know about glyphosphate: It was originally used in the 40's as a biocide for paint. Later it was found to kill weeds and plants very well. The mechanism for killing plants is by locking up trace minerals, especially maganese and zinc, but also potassium, magnesium and many others. I could go on for an hour about it, but just understand it has a VERY back negative affect on mineral nutrition in the body. Also, it has a half life of 22 years... meaning if 1 ounce is applied to ma field, in 22 years there is still half an ounce... another 22 years later there is still a 1/4 ounce... and so on. Most big farming operations are applying it in high quantities multiple times a year. cheers Dr Berg! This of course is without going into the difference between old wheat varieties (both pheno and geno typically and nutritionally) and modern wheat varieties which ONLY target higher yields and have no concern about quality.

Lifestyle is slow. Low stress. I lived I Tuscany for a year. Ate pasta and never felt bloated. Food mindset is different. Food is medicine. Its prepared mindfully. With love.

I wish companies would be held liable for polluting the food we eat.

I am from Bologna, Italy. My parents were born and raised in the region of Puglia. They maintained a diet rich in fiber and minerals through the consumption of veggies and fish. Yes, meat twice a week. Legumes was also consumed in large amounts. As far as fruits, we would go and eat whatever was in season. My mom would make fresh pasta on Sundays or large batches of tortellini and lasagne to be frozen. We ate pasta, of course, but it was not an every single day thing. I'm in my fifties and I carry on with their eating habits. Plus the physical activity.

The low stress is by far the most important factor. In Icaria island, in Greece, also people live longer because of that. There, the vegetables and most food (even meat) are home grown, purely organic. Personally the stress I believe makes the biggest difference which affect the cortisol. Also being loved and involved in a community, with not too much to be expected from an individual, like the big cities and the fast paced lifestyle, can lead to less percentage of depressed people and you will see more happiness overall. Happiness, balance, along with quality food are the other factors that contribute.

Bread is made by slow fermentation in most villages in Italy, some starters are very old, wine is made at home so it is fermented, they ferment eggplant and pack it in olive oil, olives are preserved in the same way along with many other foods, they forage for wild dandelions many different varieties and rapini. They make there own dried meats from pork and the dried stuff is fermented from 6 months a year or longer, pasta sauce is made by using different cuts of meat with the bone on... the meat is slow-braised cooked in onion and garlic when fully cooked the sauce is added and simmered again, you get the goodness of the bone and marrow. The Italians are passionate about life, food, and family... they love their mamma, and nonna, because they are the cornerstone of the family always cooking good food, love and passion reduce stress. Just some thoughts from an Italian

Great video. I’m an Italian living in Canada. My family immigrated to canada in 1965 and maintained our southern Italian recipes, rituals and customs while adapting to life in Canada.
Watching your video I can relate to that Mediterranean diet. Although it is not adhered to as consistently as it used to be, we still try. Because Toronto is very multicultural, I’ve learned to incorporate the better parts of international foods and spices into our Italian recipes.

For interview purpose, it's best to use landscape/horizontal framing instead of portrait or vertical so two people can fit in the same frame for an interview. Just a suggestion. Great video by the good doctor as usual!

i would think it's a combination of all of it: low-stress life, eating natural food, light exercise, and having good friends and family

My Italian grandma, born 30th July 1919, is now more than 100 years old ...she had ONE Coke in her life, back in the 60s. "It's way, way too sweet!!" She said. Let that sink in.

I think glyphosate is the key because the break down your gut bacteria and your ability to absorb nutrients in your food,but low stress and fish /shellfish is also a factor and good olive oil helped to live longer.

I can vouch for that, I am Italian and live in Italy now, after 26 year years spent in California. There is not comparison with the quality of Italian food here and in the US. Italy is amazing and thousand of Americans are moving here this year.
