There are five blue zones where researchers have found people live the longest, active and medication free lives. In fact, people in the Blue Zones have as many as 4 times the number of centenarians (>100 years old) as the US. The US has only 1.73 centenarians for every 10,000 people. The Blue Zone locations are:

* Sardinia, Italy
* Okinawa Japan
* Icaria, Greece
* Loma Linda, California
* Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica .

In Icaria, remarkably, almost one out of three people make it to their 90s and cancer, heart disease and dementia are nearly non-existent.

Some of the hallmarks of the Blue Zones are:

* Primarily plant based diet
* Meat (especially red meat) is only eaten a few times a month
* Many dishes contain healthy servings of beans
* Plants are indigenous -- and free of pesticides
* Dishes made w/ locally grown herbs
* In the Med, dishes include healthy doses of local Olive Oil
* No processed food and no snacking
* Sunny locale ensures plenty of Vitamin D
* Sugar is mostly consumed from fruits
* Obesity is virtually non-existent

Remaining active is also key in these areas. Most people over 90 still work, with many holding jobs after 100. The low stress, tight knit community is a also key factor in longevity in the Blue Zones.

NIH/Pubmed has many studies that conclude reduced and or meat-free diets extend longevity. Here's one study that shows a large population (monitored over several years) where 12% fewer vegetarians died from all cause mortality:

Of course they will tell you red meat is bad. But estrogen filled chicken is ok though...

Studies posted on the pubmed website aren't necessarily funded by NIH. In fact, many of them come from all over the world. You need to read the study to determine if it's legit in terms of sample size, blind placebos etc. Don't assume all of them are wrong or bad because they are posted there. In fact, you will find important information about treating disease that the FDA and big Pharma refuse to acknowledge

Plain and simple. Red meat is healthy. It is good for you. It it the easiest food for your body to digest. Time to digest does not equal ease of digestion. Fat is what makes meat take longer to digest. Fat is also good. We've been deceived by the sugar industry ever since Eisenhower had a heart attack.

You can't even fully digest plant material. Fiber from plants can tear and scratch your intestinal lining causing health problems down the road. Nothing is healthy if you over eat.

1 meal per day and 3 bottles of water. Vanilla ice cream if I want a treat at night. Intermittent fasting helps with digestion and aides in achieving ketosis.

I agree, fat is good. All fats are not created equal.
