Obviously, but this is one of the main ones. The human machine works like any other (more complex) machine. Our organs, like the parts of a machine, are provided to us by our genetics in more or less good condition depending on heredity. Then these organs to operate need external inputs including food, air whose quality will determine the proper functioning of these organs as for an engine or the fuel as lubrication will determine the proper functioning and the duration of resistance to wear. From where :Because, sorry, but it is definitely not the (only) secret to longevity!
Indeed if we feed our internal engine with shit (bad fuel, bad oil) " it's going to work a lot worse now ! »And therefore 78 years old, currently, it's not bad!Jean-Pierre Coffe did not last very long (78 years) with his "food not shit" ...
Ah well ... do their vegetarians eat seafood, lean meats and sometimes red meat? No.Janic wrote:With Jean-Paul Curtay and the Okinawa regime, we are far (very far) from vegetarianism, even more from veganism.
on the contrary, we are close
And vegans, do they eat dairy products and eggs? No more. So yes, we are far from it. Don't displease yourself.
In the end, food is made up of almost 80% plant products.
Do not displease 80% it is much closer than 10 or 20% as far as I know!
Then and I have already expressed it, the lifespan depends on many factors including the surrounding environment and the local culture.
These socio-cultural factors have no bearing on anatomo biology which is adapted or not to food modes opportunistic mostly for survival reasons. Between risking death for insufficient food (especially in the cold season) and consuming unsuitable substitution that allow this survival, the choice is quickly made. Except that culturally, this occasional need turns into a eating habit no longer dependent on these survival conditions.[*]
It is to take the problem upside down. The role of the food is not essentially curative (even if it actively participates in it) but to avoid these diseases in question before to end up in hospital care or at home.Finally the food, and all that I have read on the subject so far, it still has a considerable importance, including on our ability to overcome diseases (in the hospital, so it's double trouble !).
Or to use the maxim of Hippocrates: " that your food is your medicine"And"primum non nocere turkey curare"
[*] I'm on a book on the ladybugs and where they, for lack of aphids, devour each other like certain anthropophages in humans. Does this justify anthropophagy as a dietary mode of survival?
