TMHS 770 - Eat These 5 Foods to Live Longer! - With Dave Asprey

The Model Health Show

NOTE

The Upside-Down Food Pyramid and Longevity Strategy

The conventional food pyramid is deemed outdated as the speaker follows a diet rich in red meat, animal protein, and butter with the belief that it contributes to his longevity. He mentions a friend who, despite being mostly vegan, also includes beef collagen in his diet. The speaker emphasizes the importance of high-quality protein for longevity and criticizes the misconception that a plant-based diet is essential for longevity. Drawing from personal experience, he highlights the negative impacts of a vegan diet, such as mineral depletion, hormonal imbalances, and thyroid issues. He mentions the high dropout rate among vegans due to health issues caused by the diet, citing examples like erectile dysfunction, weight gain, joint pain, vision problems, and decreased happiness. The speaker also mentions that 70% of kidney stones are caused by plants, not meat, contradicting common beliefs about dietary health.
