I agree with the point on physical activity, but the implication that traditional cultures have as long or longer lifespans is easily dismissed as inaccurate.
- coldtea 3y agoCan it, if we exclude child mortality (and effects of war, resource stealing, etc)? All so-called "blue zones" are in traditional cultures (food and general lifestyle wise).
- toolz 3y agoWhy would we exclude child mortality? It isn't clear to me that isn't an indirect product of culture any more that any other longevity indicator. Blue zones seems somewhat ambiguous but if I'm understanding correctly, they are small areas of people who live more traditionally surrounded by mostly modern people? Seems like by definition those zones are made up of cherry picked people and it's unclear to me that those aren't just outliers.
