3 Ways to Achieve Longevity the Okinawan Way

Health

You should try three simple practices to stay well.

The young English attorney Jonathan Harker travels to Castle Dracula in Transylvania’s Eastern European country to finish a real estate deal with Count Dracula. As the character makes his way through the countryside, the local peasants warn him about his destination. They give him charms against evil and utter words the lawyer later understands to mean vampire.

To Harker, the elderly Dracula is well-educated and friendly. Soon, the visitor realizes that he is a prisoner in the castle. Today, I offer you an alternative path to longevity (if not immortality). Rather than go through Transylvania to meet vampires, we go to the remarkable country of Japan.

In the rural northern Okinawan village of Ogimi, there’s a small stone marker with a few sentences written in Japanese.

We have long known about Japanese longevity. The Japanese have lower cancer rates, heart disease, and dementia than those in the United States. The Japanese have the longest life expectancy at birth in the world. Today, I want to share with you some characteristics that likely contribute to their health and longevity.
