Who lives the longest?  Do your genes really doom you?  Is your diet that important?  Can you have  happy, healthy later years, or do you really have to be sick?

Dan Buettner of Blue Zone, along with the National Geographic, found five areas of the world where people live the longest and healthiest.  He studied what they do, what they eat, etc.

He found each area has at least one distinct diet that helps people stay healthier longer.

Is there such a pocket of such  people in the U.S.?

Yes, in Loma Linda California.  They are Seventh Day Adventists and they base their diet on Gen 1:29.

Here's the passage.

Then God said," I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."  (NIV version)

Interesting…. the eating of meat had not been introduced yet.     The plant based died was the original diet.
