  1. So basically, they eat natural healthy (non GMO/processed) foods, and the elderly are not warehoused? Sounds like the complete opposite of our society. Hopefully we’ll make necessary changes.

  6. Pull the other leg, it has bells on it! Currently the average age of death for those on Western diets is increasing and has passed the 80 mark and the number of centenarians is increasing annually so which scientists are researching into this feature?

      Perhaps the question is more about quality of life? Whilst it is true that life expectancy is increasing for those on Western diets it is often accompanied by intrusive operations, strong medicines etc following diseases and illnesses that used to prove fatal. Surviving these miserable conditions Alzheimers is on the increase. In Okinawa the people are simply growing older naturally and actively. It is not unheard of there for octogenarians and even centenarians to be living totally independent lives – some even working!

  7. Tai Chi is an exercise that will soon overtake Yoga as the premier global health exercise. Tai Chi is a moving meditation, an exercise for the body and mind as well as a martial art for which no special gym or equipment is needed. It is a complete holistic exercise that gives us longevity and a healthy body with which to enjoy it. Many who practice it live well into their 90’s and 100’s.

    1. There are many forms of yoga that require meditation and movement and nearly every yoga being taught in the U.S. and other western countries are highly watered down because it is too difficult in the true form. Tia Chi will also be watered down in the U.S. and other western countries and unfortunately many are already teaching watered down versions. Take a look at Kundalini Yoga, most westerners want nothing to do with it because it is extremely difficult and it takes a high level of dedication to perform properly.
