Okinawan Diet – Seven Secrets for longevity; Okinawa, an island of the coast of Japan, is one of the blue zones hot spots where Okinawans reside, a group of the longest lived people on the planet.

Okinawa is known for it's white sugar beaches, crystal blue waters, and reputation as the land of immortals. Is it genetics alone? No. It's location, the traditions, diet and habits of that area. When Okinawans move away from the island and adopt the diet of the new location, they also adopt the chronic illnesses related to that area.

Okinawan men typically live into their mid-eighties, and women to over 90. About 6.5 people out of 1000 live into their hundreds, making this the highest centenarian population in the world.

Not only do Okinawans live long lives, they also live healthy lives. A fifth of the rate of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and prostate cancer. Less than half the rate of dementia as seen in the US.
