This doesn't make sense.

Despite being low-income...

Nicoya, Costa Rica has one of the highest life expectancies in the entire world.

So how are they doing it?

Here are the 7 health secrets Nicoyans know that Americans don't:

🧵

Nicoya Costa Rica is one of the top 5 places in the world where people live to 100+.

& while most people think wealth is the secret to a long & healthy life...

This Peninsula proves differently.

They'd be considered below the poverty line in the US.

So how are they so much healthier than the rest of the world?

Here are their 7 secrets:

7. Water quality.

This is something super unique about Nicoya.

Their water has the highest calcium content in the country.

But why does that matter for aging?

People who fall & break a bone when they're 60+ are 2-3x more likely to die within a year.

This is where calcium becomes incredibly valuable.

More Calcium = stronger bones.

Elderly people in Nicoya are probably breaking way fewer bones & less sedentary because of it.

This may be a large part of why they live much longer than Americans.

Salt is the most misunderstood mineral in the world.

It’s been labeled as “unhealthy”

But that’s false.

Here’s the truth about salt & how you can use it to enhance your health:

1. What is salt.

Salt is a mineral which comes from evaporated seawater or rocks that used to be covered in seawater.

Our ancestors used it for many things:

• Preserve meats
• Currency/trade
• Clean wounds

Now, when & how did salt become the “enemy”?

Well…

2. The research.

Throughout the 1900s…

Research started emerging on salt-causing issues like hypertension & cardiovascular disease.

The main study that started this?

The man that's outsmarting Father Time:

Dave Pascoe.

While his driver's license may say "62 years old"...

His epigenetic age is only 37.

So I found his full longevity routine (it's surprisingly simple).

Here's how Dave is defying aging:

🧵

1. Diet.

Dave follows a diet similar to the Mediterranean diet:

• Nuts/seeds
• Grass-fed meat
• A little bit of carbs
• Homegrown veggies
• Seafood (oysters, mussels)
• Fruits (bananas, kiwis, berries)

But the best part about Dave vs some of the other longevity gurus?

He eats a variety of foods that he actually enjoys.

He doesn't restrict his calories.

He still:

• Eats pizza
• Drinks alcohol (occasionally)
• Goes out for dinner with friends

Basically, he still lives his life.

Which makes it realistic for the average person to copy.

I’ve trained 100+ people over 40 years old.

Even got their blood work & prescribed their supplements.

Here are 10 Supplements every man 40+ needs to be taking:

10. Selenium.

As men age, selenium becomes increasingly important for prostate health & supporting the immune system.

Selenium acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage & reducing the risk of chronic diseases (cancer, heart disease, etc).

9. Magnesium.

Magnesium is essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body.

It’s crucial for:

• Maintaining muscle & nerve function
• Regulating blood sugar levels
• Supporting bone health

My favorite forms of magnesium are Bisglycinate, chloride & threonate.

They're poisoning you.

70% of the food in America is now considered ultra-processed.

But what does this REALLY mean?

I took some time to find out how processed food affects our bodies...

Here's what's really going on:

🧵

What is ultra-processed food?

Food that is ultra-processed has simply been highly altered through various processing methods.

There's been multiple "ingredients" added to them, things like:

• Sweeteners
• Preservatives
• Artificial flavors

& their goal is to make these foods last longer on the shelf, taste better & be more addictive.

Foods like chips, snack foods, hotdogs, & cereals are all examples of highly processed foods.

& also fries, breads, bagels, etc.

But why should you care?

Well...

These foods are a large reason why:

• Obesity rates have 3x
• Cancer rates are at an all-time high
• 58,000,000 Americans report living with mental illness

How are they causing this?

I'll break this into the big 3 reasons ultra-processed foods are destroying America:
