Jake Porway: So which of these items from
your refrigerator can help you live longer?
Butter, ice cream, or alcohol?
The answer, is alcohol.
Surprised?
Don't be because this is the part of the show where
we're going to take you out for a drink,
get you a nice bite to eat,
then talk about sex.
Sound good?
So what if I told you that each of these is a
key to adding years to your life?
Let's start with that drink.
There is real science behind alcohol and
increased longevity and it has to do with these guys.
The use of ethanol on worms has shown to
extend their lives from 15 to 40 days.
The human body shares nearly 40%
of the same DNA as worms.
A recent study showed that moderate drinkers
actually outlived nondrinkers by about 50%.
So now we know that *** promotes longevity
but what about our diet?
When it comes to what we eat there's
more than meets the eye.
I found out for myself when I met up with
75 year-old Paul Cohen a man who claims
he's found the fountain of youth in raw meat.
Here's that meal I promised you.
And here is my disclaimer,
please consult a doctor before trying this at home.
Paul: This looks like a great meat market!
Jake Porway: Yeah I gotta tell ya Paul,
as a vegetarian I have not been in one
of these places in a very long time.
Paul: Maybe we'll be able to convert you from being
a vegetarian to being a raw food beef eater.
Jake Porway: Maybe, never know!
Clerk: Can I help you folks?
Paul: I'd like to have some estancia ground up
and make sure you grind the fat as well
don't cut any of the fat off.
Do you have any ground Buffalo?
Clerk: I have ground Buffalo.
Paul: You got raw chicken,
Kobe rib eye steak,
some raw turkey, thank you so much!
I'm always looking for raw fat.
Jake Porway: I think I would cut off the fat.
Paul: The Primal Diet calls for about 40% raw fat
and 40% raw protein and I happen to know
estancia actually really quite well it's imported
from Argentina and I studied what the cows eat.
Jake Porway: So you know their whole history,
you know where they came from.
Paul: With beef yes.
Jake Porway: If they had good friends,
good parents.
Paul: I do in this case.
Clerk: This is your organic chicken,
the estancia ground New York,
this is the Bison,
this is your Kobe.
Paul: Well for me and my diet this is
a dream come true.
Clerk: Well I'll package it up for you right away.
Paul: Thank you very much!
It's just perfect, thank you so much.
Jake Porway: For me and my diet
this is a nightmare come true!
So a lot of who hear about this diet are gonna say
that eating raw meat can lead to a lot of illnesses
like salmonella or trig enosis,
so what's the sort of science behind this?
Paul: There have been no scientific studies that
have gone through the FDA.
Jake Porway: So, what is the primal diet?
Paul: If you eat anything raw you are
not taking in poisons or toxins into your body.
Anything cooked creates a molecular change and
the molecular change in the food creates
a volatile toxin.
The secret of human health, is raw fat.
Fat, fat, fat, fat.
The raw fats go directly into the cell and
in a sense it's like taking in liquid drain-o
cleansing the inside of your body.
And that's how it works;
it's just the way it works.
Jake Porway: So what do you say we dig in?
Paul: I'm going to have a bite of this
Estansia beef, raw butter.
Jake Porway: Just chase it with some butter,
slide it down.
Paul: Kobe beef, another bite of raw butter.
And this is the raw buffalo
which is wonderful.
Jake Porway: Just right down like that,
no seasoning, no prepping.
Do you mind if I have a little raw butter?
'Cause that's something that sounds up my alley!
That is something else!
Paul: Do you wanna try like a little bite
of the Kobe?
Don't be afraid of it!
Just give it a try!
Jake Porway: Don't be afraid?
Paul: Yeah give it a try, here.
It actually tastes a little bit like
the raw butter.
I'll leave it right in front of you ok?
Jake Porway: I'll get a smaller bit if I do it.
Paul: Oh take a smaller bite of it!
Try it, it tastes like butter!
Give it a try.
Jake Porway: I'm gonna,
not take your word for that!
Sorry mom!
Paul: It's actually delicious!
Jake Porway: That's almost the opposite of
what I was about to say!
Now that we've wined you and dined you,
remember how we were going to talk
about getting lucky?
Unfortunately I can't promise
you anything specific,
but what I can tell you is that having
lots of sex will help you live longer!
So how many times a week do you have sex?
Think about it.
Now multiply that by 52.
Got it?
Good, keep that number in your head.
It's going to tell you how your sex life
is affecting your longevity.
But before we reveal what your number means,
let's see how you stack up to some
other people we spoke to.
Man: How many times a week I have sex?
Man 2: I love sex, I have to have it.
Woman: I don't want to talk about sex because
I'm Irish Catholic and we have too much shame!
Woman 2: I've been celibate for a while.
Man 3: Do you like sex?
Yeah!
Who doesn't?
Woman 3: I'm actually a ***;
I'm saving myself for marriage.
Man 4: I normally have sex 9-10 times per week.
Woman 4: Wow I'm proud of you buddy!
Man 5: I have sex every day but
I'm the only one there!
Couple: Six times, like once a day usually, yeah.
Couple 2: If you have a quickie every day of the
week it's not as good as having like
three times but really well done.
Man 6: I have to have it every day.
Man 7: None, does that mean I'm gonna
die young?
Man 8: If the studies show that having sex over
2 times a week would extend your life then I
would try to have sex 3 to 4, 5 times a week.
Couple 3: It makes me wanna have it right now!
Man 9: I'm gonna be like 140 is what
you're telling me?
Man 10: Have more sex,
yeah definitely as soon as we're
finished here I'm gonna go and have some.
Jake Porway: From that random sampling,
our group's average number was 156.
How did you compare?
If your number was 104 or higher, congratulations!
Your chances of living longer just
increased by 50%!
By the way, this statistic
applies only to men.
For women, when it comes to longevity,
it's not so much the frequency of
sex that matters;
it's the quality of sex.
This is me being aged to 72.
So how much longer will I live?
Well if I drank a little more,
snacked exclusively on raw meat and
kicked my sex life into hyper drive,
chances are, I've got a lot of
great years ahead of me!
To see how far people will go,
I'm going to show you three strange things
people are doing to try to live longer.
Two of these are real but one is a fake,
can you guess which one?
Laughing Yoga, self embalming, urine drinking?
Do you know the answer?
