Blue Zone in Okinawa Japan: Keys to Longevity, Happiness and Living a Healthy Life

Have you heard of the blue zones? Do you have other tips for longevity? Please share below! Thanks so much for watching 🙂

Food is the most powerful medicine!

Moving from the Japanese ideal of being thin equals beautiful to healthies’ beautiful.

I think considering that everyone is a very different beauty, in terms of weight, in terms of size, look. I’ve noticed that Japanese women are getting skinny thinner and thinner. There’s also so much information about different diets, and overwhelming and confusing… Its good aware of a good diet is to inspire women to make changes to their diet and also their lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep based on hormone, health, longevity, beauty as well as skin in the future.

Its just genetics, they eat lots of meat fish and cheese in blue zones, lots of them smoke and drink to.

What a lesson !!! You’re the best !
I would add smile to people and playyyyy :-p

Love the video. 
When you say vegetarian do you include eggs or dairy or no animal products at all like vegan?

wat diferent are they from mexicans ?🤷🏽‍♂️

I like your enthusiasm towards living full and healthy. One more thing you forgot to mention. Oh I just forgot, oh well I need to walk a mile to remember what I want to say to you.😊

I so agree with the observation that turning 60 really changes the body and that we feel our mortality, and that it INVIGORATES us! Well put! I've been vegetarian a long, long time – but never ever want to be vegan, lol. It's easy for me to get moving in the morning, but WAY harder in the early evening – so that's something I need to work on. I've also just started a local group where we get together a couple of times a month, so the loner in me is forcing myself into occasional social groups! Thanks for this video!

Great advice. One thing I might add, a slice of pizza once in a while won't hurt (with a friend).

Thanks for reminding me of the basics (that I keep ignoring 😕) and for giving concrete tips. Well done.

Awesome content Risa!

I love everything about this episode, Risa! Valuable lessons for a longer, healthier life! We are currently back on a Whole 30 diet, a challenge that is worth the effort. Better sleep, more energy and a lighter sense of being! Thanks for the reminders and tips! Here’s to a longer, healthier life for all of us!

My friend is vegetarian and at 42 she looks 22, and more importantly she feels 22. Her outlook is so positive, and she cheers me up. I think another thing about diet, especially as we age, is to cut out sugar, and all kinds of it. Minimize fruit even, and instead move toward vegetables with bean dips. Mash up some white fava, add a little olive oil and salt–get the carrots and celery going, the bell peppers, or better yet rhubarb stalks (don't be afraid of the tartness, and remember not to eat the leaves, as they are poisonous). Definitely avoid ALL cane juice products. Drink a ton of water, and if you want to flavor it, go with lemon. The reminder to do "desk exercise" is great too, especially squats, holding on to the edge of the desk. Awesome.
