JAPAN DIET OF OKINAWA
The main reason for the longevity of those living on Okinawa Island, located on the borders of Japan, is their traditional way of life and diet. A low total calorie, plant-based diet, a quiet, calm but active lifestyle are the main elements of this traditional lifestyle. Okinawans eat less and less, usually half-hungry from the table. There is no heavy traffic flow on the island and there are no industrial facilities that lead to pollution. While the life expectancy of Okinawans migrating to America is shorter, the average life expectancy of Chinese migrating to Okinawa is longer. Lean meat, milk and dairy products and egg’s place in the diet are quite limited. The weight of animal products in the diet, including fish, is 10 percent. Yellow-Green vegetables, sweet potatoes, soy-soy products, other legumes are the main elements of this vegetable-weighted diet. Whole grains and fruits are second-degree important nutrients in this herbal diet. Rice finds little place in the Okinawa diet compared to other Japanese cities.
