ZOE Science & Nutrition · 5 daily habits of people who live longer | Dan Buettner · 15 Jan 2026 podcast

There's a great scientist from the National Institutes on Health named Mark Matz and also a John Hopkins professor who asserts that actually, if you look at evolutionarily speaking, it's much better not to have your breakfast until about noon, which is probably the pattern of our ancient humans.

And by not eating first thing in the morning, we're sharper in the brain, we have more endurance,

And of course, you're going to burn up that visceral fat after about 12 hours for most of us.

That's right.

They tend to have an early dinner.

It tends to be the smallest meal.

You know, it's usually leftover lunch.

And the other thing I noticed in Blue Zones, people don't snack.

That's interesting.

They're not going for the handful of chips or the, you know, superfood crunch or whatever the hell, you know, is marketed to us.

But they eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they're done.

Sun is down by seven and they've already done eating.

And yeah, it's 12 to 14 hours.

Okinawans might have a very small dinner at four in the afternoon and then it's not until they wake up the next morning that their breakfast is likely to be, traditionally speaking, a miso soup full of root vegetables or some of the herbs growing.

I love that.

It's so simple and it's nice to hear the research underpins it.

And I'm guessing 9 isn't the magic hour.

No.

I used to be on what I called a seafood diet.

I'd see food and I'd eat it.
