Where in the world do people live the longest? Do you Know that there is
a place where the overall life expectancy of the residents is up to
84yrs?
Though people in the U.S. tend to think they own good health and
longevity, the truth might surprise you – the small, remote island of
Okinawa, Japan is where you’ll find the world’s largest population of
healthy older adults. In fact, of the five locales scientists are
studying for their longevity secrets, three are islands, of which
Okinawa tops the list.
We can learn a lot about improving quality of life in our golden years –
and maybe even increase longevity – by studying the habits of the
world’s longest-lived people.
In Okinawa – an archipelago 360 miles off the coast of Japan – you’ll
find the world’s highest prevalence of proven centenarians: 740 out of a
population of 1.3 million. Okinawan seniors not only have the highest
life expectancy in the world, but also the highest health expectancy:
they remain vigorous and healthy into old age, suffering relatively few
age-related ailments.
Secrets of Longevity: Widespread gardening provides an opportunity for
exercise, sunlight and nutritious food, and Okinawans follow an old
adage that says “eat until you are 80% full” instead of gorging. They
also have a sense of purpose, a positive outlook on life and close
social support groups called moais.
-A cultural environment that reinforces healthy lifestyle habits like diet and exercise both physically and mentally.
-Their diets are low in salt, high in fruits and vegetables, and contain
plenty of fiber and antioxidants that protect against the major
diseases of the West, including heart attack and cancer.
-Healthy social relationships and psychological well-being.
-People who tend to gardens.
-People who have a cooperative spirit.
-Public health that is easily accessible.
-Seniors are valued as members of their family and the community
Elderly members of this society express a high satisfaction level with
their lives..
-They never eat so that they are stuffed, but just mostly sated. This means their daily caloric intake is far lower than ours
Finally, please note that only 20-30% of our life expectancy can be
determined through our genes, If you want to live to be 100, you may
need more than just a sound set of X and Y chromosomes passed down from
your parents. Lifestyle is the most important factor in determining not
only how long you live, but the quality of your long life.
