Have you heard of ‘Blue Zones’ before? Ever wondered what is behind the root of those locations and what the nutritional research suggests?
Join me for a discussion with fellow Registered Dietitian and global expert on food sustainability, Diana Rodgers. Diana and I both have a ‘beef’ to pick with the Blue Zones
Listen in on this discussion in which we both share what we have found in terms of:
- The nutritional adequacy of the diet
- Overall confounding factors in healthy aging aside from diet
- The flaws in the research supporting the diet
- The evidence for a high degree of fraud and error among centenarian data (see Saul Newman article below)
- Conflicts of interest that impact the promotion of vegetarian and vegan diets
- How the Blue Zones diet stacks up to my typical diet (my specific data listed in the below report)
- Where you can learn more about Diana and her important work around sustainable agriculture and nutrition
