Age

 

According to Japanese daily Nippon Times, the average life expectancy in Japan in 2019 was 87.45 years for women and 81.41 years for men. 

The latest World Health Organization report in 2019 put Japan’s average life expectancy at birth at 83.7 years (86.8 years for women and 80.5 years for men). 

The secret of long life in Japan is often considered as the combination of diet, policy, exercise, cultural factors and genetics - with no single cause running away with the credits.    

 Eat only until you are 80 per cent (8 out of 10 parts) full.  

The Japanese serve smaller portions and encourage slower eating style.  

Officials have developed a network of more than 100 walking routes to encourage people to exercise. Community groups and neighborhood associations organize communal walks not difficult in group-oriented Japan. 

So start early. Just a thought.
