ð¯ðµHome to the worldâs longest-lived women, Okinawa, a group of islands in the South Pacific offers many secrets to longevity.
ðThe Okinawa tradition of forming a moai provides secure social networks. These safety nets lend financial and emotional support in times of need and give their members the stress-shedding security of knowing there is always someone there for them.
ðIn Okinawa, at age 5, children are put into these committed social networks. One specific moai that Dan Buettner discovered in his book Blue Zones, had been together for 97 years; the average age of the group is 102 ð€¯
They meet every day to drink sake and gossip. If one of them does not show up, the other 4 put on their kimonos to walk across the village to check on their friend.
ð¥¢Okinawans also attribute their longevity to the old Confucian mantra said before meals ‘Hara Hachi Bu’, which reminds them to stop eating when 80% full, so they do not overeat, which links with the calorie restriction model of anti-ageing.
