Japanese Secret to a Long Life

I just read an article titled "WHY DO JAPANESE PEOPLE LIVE SO LONG...AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO LIVE A LONG LIFE TOO.

Now that's my kind of article. I couldn't wait to pass along the "secrets" to you:

Instead of red meat, eat a lot of fish, including raw fish. That's what the Japanese do.

Instead of sitting, stand. They do a lot of that in Japan primarily because the population is so dense
over there there's not room to sit.

Delicious Seaweed
Eat a lot of seaweed.

Wear masks when out in public.

Eat a lot of rice, soy, tofu and bean sprouts.

Go out drinking with friends. (I'm not making this up.)

Walk a lot and take the train a lot.

Don't drink milk.

The Japanese diet is not easy, but for a long life...it's worth a try.

And what is the life expectancy in Japan?

79 years old.

Never mind.
