Summary

Send us a textQuestion: Do you want to live to be 100? I feel like if you and I were chatting you might not give a resounding yes. We've seen a lot of disease and decay and death, and the idea of being here then might invoke a picture of sorrow and pain. But did you know there are people in their 90's and older still living rewarding and enjoyable lives? As you'll hear today, there are some great stories from Japan. But even here in Lindale, TX, there are several in their 90's still drawing j...

0:00.0	Welcome to Season 5 of the Excel Stillmore podcast. I'm still your host, Chris Emerson, and I'm here to encourage you in your walk with the Lord, and I'm glad you've joined.
0:14.2	The program continues to be sponsored by Cunningham Financial Group. John is a good friend, and he's helped me and my family in everything
0:21.8	from stock and mutual fund investing to annuities, life insurance, and retirement planning.
0:28.1	I certainly commend him to you if you have needs in any of those areas. You can reach him
0:32.8	at 205-326-7364. Thank you again for your ongoing encouragement and support. Let's get started.
0:45.9	Hey, welcome. Let me jump right in today with the origin story behind today's episode title, Live 2-100.
0:53.8	That may not in any way sound enticing to you, and we will come back to you and me in just a minute.
0:59.5	But here's where all of today's content got rolling for me.
1:02.3	There is a new Netflix documentary by this name, Live 2100, with the subtitle Secrets of the Blue Zones.
1:13.6	All of the travel and interviews are conducted by a guy named Dan Butner, a very interesting fellow. He was this incredible athlete in his 20s and 30s and set
1:20.6	world records for bike riding across continents, not countries, continents. And during all of that, he met people from literally all over
1:30.2	the world. And in his 40s, he started devoting himself to the study of those cultures, particularly
1:36.1	cultures that had healthier, longer, more productive lives. And so this documentary represents
1:43.1	the fruit of those labors as he visits five different areas on the planet called blue zones.
1:50.3	These are the areas where more people live to be 90 or in their 100s than anywhere else on the planet.
1:57.7	And while your vision of people in their 80s, 90s, or 100s may be sick or bedridden,
2:04.1	that is not the case by and large in these countries. Basically, he wanted to find out why.
2:10.1	And I hope that that at least intrigues you today if there are some things, either culturally
2:14.9	or individually, that those people are doing that are allowing them
2:19.2	longer, healthier, better lives, maybe we can adapt to some of that. This, by the way, immediately
2:26.3	drew my attention because I've actually done some of this study before. I did an episode,
2:31.4	an ESM episode, in October of 2019.
