Okinawa, a beautiful group the islands off the coast of Japan, has got the highest percentage of 100 years olds in the
world. The people of Okinawa live longer and healthier lives than people in other countries. Not many Okinawans
suffer from illnesses like heart disease and cancer. So what is the Okinawan secret to a long and healthy life?
Some people believe that the Okinawan diet may be the main reason that Okinawa is the best place in the world to
get old. They say that people in the West have a lot to learn from people of Okinawa.
So how different is the Okinawan diet from the diet in the West? Firstly, the Okinawan people eat a lot more fruit
and dark green vegetables. They also use seaweed or sea vegetables in many of the dishes. Most people in the West
have never ever heard of these sea vegetables.
Like in American and Europe, pork is a popular ingredient in the Okinawan diet. However, Okinawans do not use fish
and meat as the main course. Instead, they use them as a side dish to make their food tastier and more appetising.
People in the West rarely eat raw fish and meat. Okinawans, on the other hand, often eat their fish and meat in this
form. They also usually eat fish on the same day that they catch it. But not all Okinawan food is raw. In fact, some of
the most popular traditional dishes are soups, fried dishes and boiled dishes.
However, Okinawans do not only eat different food to people in the West. They also eat different quantities of food
to people in West. In Okinawa, people stop eating when they are 80 % full. People in the West should probably begin
by adopting this principle. They may find that this is enough to help them to live longer and healthier lives.
