Okinawa, Japan.
What significance does Okinawa, Japan have and why does this post look like a Geography textbook page? Simple. Okinawa, Japan has a very special distinction: this is the place, out of all the places on earth, where the most centenarians live. So, if we’re looking at a series of posts that’ll help us live to be 100 - we’d be short-sighted not to take a peek into this beautiful part of the world. After all, they’re doing something right and could probably teach us a thing or two, or 6.
- The residents of Okinawa eat a low-calorie diet.
- The bulk of their diet is made up of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, oily fish, and soy.
- They don’t have a lot of milk or dairy products in their diet.
- They take part in activities that are relaxing, yet at the same time deliver cardiovascular benefits. Some of these activites are gardening, karate, traditional dance, and walking.
- The people of Okinawa have a strong belief in prayer and take a sense of pride in their community.
- Okinawans shake of stress easily.
Sounds like a recipe, not just for longer living, but for better living as well.
