    Amazing presentation. I am a researcher and wanted to know more about Dr. Hughes' work. It was sad to find she passed away in June 2015 from cancer. As I thought she looked too young to retire, I could imagine that she was already diagnosed with cancer at the time of this presentation. Knowing this made her passionate sharing of information leading to healthy living priceless. RIP Ellen.

    I already try to follow okinawa diet (lots of vegetables) and vegan diet (micronutrients food, no refined foods like sugar, oil, salt, no processed foods). Doing exercise after every meal and some weight training with cheap door frame pull up bar to help lower blood sugar. Planning on doing more strenuous exercise that can use up glycogen reserve storage in liver/muscles. I learned a lot of new health tips for old people like me.

    This is a very good talk with lots of practical and useful info that we can apply daily to our own lives unlike may other talks I've seen on this channel. Most others were nothing more than over and hour of charts and graph and statistics that really have no practical daily use and turned out to be boring and and a waste of time. I do find it rude and annoying that people constantly interrupt with questions. If they would friggin wait I'm sure the questions will be answered at some point during the talk. If not right it down and ask it at the end when she's taking questions.

    The biggest problem by far in my personal humble opinion is STRESS, How to reduce stress is the most difficult thing we face by far

    Thanks for a very informative and well delivered presentation. I hope that I will be able to make some changes immediately to a healthier life as you recommended.

    1:14:00 ten recommendations to promote healthy aging. Watched this in January 2020. Amazing. I haven’t found anything in the literature on aging over the past decade that significantly builds on what was presented in this video 10 years ago.
