The Secrets to Japanese Longevity – Gut-Goodness Foods in Japan
Why do Japanese live long? According to the World Health Organization, Japan has the longest overall life expectancy of any country in the world at an average of 83.7 years. The reason for this phenomenon? Common knowledge tells us that lifestyle and diet are the biggest contributing factors for increased life expectancy. In Japan, walking, bicycling, and working in the garden are regarded as desirable activities for all ages, while a fermented foods– and vegetable-based diet is held to be the ideal. Vegetable-based diet and fermented foods are well known for encouraging good microbes to flourish in your gut and thus promote good health. Japanese still honor and encourage gut-healthy diets rich in our traditional foods that have contributed to making Japan #1 in life expectancy.
