He claims that avoiding alcohol is his key to longevity. While that may play a part, it may also be his society's healthy eating habits. Is it a coincidence that the oldest living woman, Yone Minagawa at 114, comes from the same hometown?

On the article about the healthiest jobs, how is restaraunt business one of them, yes you are serving food, but the whole time you are on your feet walking miles a shift carrying heavy trays and lifting. i think this is one job that could be considered because there are probably many more people in the restarunt business then there are in chiropractics. Just would like to see this on the list, i was a server for 8 years and was in great shape during that time. Some consideration, Becky

Two books that I would suggest reading in relation to this article about Japan's longevity are The China Study and The Okinawa Plan. Both books cover everything you need to know about why people in other countries like rural China, Okinawa,Greece, some parts of Japan, etc.... live longer. It's all in the diet and less stressful lifestyle. I think The China Study should be part of every person's health curriculum.
