Aki-san, thank you so much for the interview about my passion! I'm gonna take you on my blue zone longevity tour next time you visit and let's drink awamori after, too (of course!) To anyone watching, you can adapt any of these habits no matter where you are, because the key to longevity is not a specific type of food or exercise.
That was such a fantastic video! I m so glad that I decided to watch it. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge & experience. May be one day I get to visit Okinawa with my family ❤
It's really impressive how Christal is so successful in Japan while maintaining her independence! It's really difficult to run your own business in a foreign country without being independently wealthy or being sponsored by a company.
Fruitful video my takeaway 1. Go with the flow 2. Embrace spirituality 3. Things would happen on its own no matter how much one tries to control it 4. Forge meaningful relations, be kind and be emphatic
Love this video, Aki and Christal. I'm so inspire of the tip moving around(walking, cooking, cleaning, tending the field). I believe the reason why they don't stress is because they are living in the present moment. "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” Lao Tzu
All of this is also true for my 96 year old grandma who lives in Germany. She is very independent, moving around a lot, eating in moderation, meeting with friends all the time and very giving. She is also very tough and doesn't complain much. I'm still trying to figure out how to do all of that myself - so far rather unsuccessful.
Who knew I ate hara-hachibu and never knew it. I am amazed at the quanities of food my fell Americans eat, not to mention what they eat! When I was in Okinawa, the thing more people noticed than anything else, was my size! They would point to themselves and me and exclaim you like us.! It simply hurts my stomach to over eat. Awamori is strong! I should definitely drink more! lol. My mom lives with me here in the US, and there are certain little jobs I don't do unless she asks, so that she does get up and move around. I hope my mother can live with me as long as she lives. We took an Okinawan cooking class while we were there, and were introduced to Okinawan ginger? I may not have under stood it correctly, but it grows everywhere locally, and they slice it up and put it in water to flavor it and cook with it too. She introduced us to seaweed, it was a specific kind that she had gathered herself. I loved it. I hated to return to US because I don't care for the foods most of us eat. LOL Aki-san christal -san thank you so much I learned so much!
Aki your channel is very healing for people with mental problems, problems dealing with reality, problems in everyday life, problems with dealing with all material things! You inspire people with your open and honest nature! Even though I don't know you personally, I really like you and I'm always looking forward to a new video!! very best regards Cornelia
You said your English isn't good and yet you have the courage to talk with someone in English. Great step! I'm proud of you and the video is amazing. If anyone like to know more about the blue zones should read "ikigai - the secret to longevity". Such a great book
I was going to say his English almost sounds even better having conversation with someone else than when he does the scripts for his videos, he seems more comfortable not worrying about how he sounds for a video ❤
I agree and want to add my compliments to Aki San for his very natural conversational English, especially as he has said previously that he feels it isn't very good. Thank you for this video with important information
Great video. I lived 2 years on Okinawa and loved it. I also took a college course on Okinawa culture and learned so much. My children and wife also loved it. The people are so friendly and are very giving. We were walking along a sugarcane field and noticed some greens. We asked the farmer about them and he took us down the road to his wife. She showed my wife how to cook them and gave us some to take home AFTER feeding us. The farmer stressed to my kids about the habu (deadly snake).
Thank you Aki and Crista -I love these tips from your research and visits with the people in Okinawa! I'm 73 and live in Oregon, next to my daughter's, where I see family daily, and it's easy to incorporate many of these naturally! I am having a Japanese inspired breakfast (Miso soup with Wakame, stir fried greens from my garden + local asparagus, with some kim chi I made and grated carrot) I'll meet a group of friends for lunch (it's a block away, and I'll walk over) Hoping to grow some purple sweet potato from a tubor i found at a favorite market, and am starting seeds for my garden. I have several tea Camellias and lots of herbs, and volunteer tending a tea garden in a local Edible landscape (a tea camellia plus herbs) A tip on finding real sugar in the US - look for organic su-ca-nat (sugar cane natural) that's grown and processed naturally! I choose organic whenever I can, and filter my drinking and cooking water to reduce chemical exposure. I'm a massage therapist (40 years - still working 2 days a week) and always try to nudge my clients in the direction of healthy habits and choices. I do Japanese morning exercises, Qigong or Breema (Kurdish) most mornings. And - I'm learning Cherokee!! (Free online program with a first language speaker, Ed Fields!) 🙏 we all be well and happy!
Hi Aki!! Thank you for having Christal on your show. I always learn something from you and this video was no exception. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
Yes, you can do it anywhere, but it is harder when surrounded with everyone else not doing it. I really enjoyed this video and I will keep striving for these habits.
This video is pure gold! So well done and I actually see a few things in my own life I should change to live a healthier and better life now that I’m watching this. Both of you guys drop so much truth and are so worth a follow!
Very interesting! My key takeaway is that you can't separate physical health from mental health. They are both linked, and both equally important for a truly healthy lifestyle. In the west, we seem to lack this connection, and we also tend to take things to the extreme.
Now, that was very inspiring! I loved listening to the two of you :D I already knew a bit about Okinawa, but know muuch more now. Especially when you said at the end about the easiness of it all. Not stressing about one more thing - longevity - but rather just living your live in the most heartfelt, communal and enjoyable way possible. I needed to hear that. Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing and linking her website. I look forward to reading all about it! My daughter and I have been looking for good resources to help guide our diet change.
I have always been interested in the blue zones. I live close to one in California. Definitely going to check out Christal company. She is so interesting and so happy she is teaching and studying this.
The Blue Zones incorporate about 10% 'animal products' and only for celebratory occasions. READ the book. This perspective is from an overweight American who clearly loves eating animal products. Delusional.
Go out... Be social. I am in midlife and wish to just stay in. I have to push myself. But joined a wind band and it is the best tonic. Get out, talk, laugh and play music together ❤🎉
I appreciate the way you both shared it simply without stressing out to gain viewers etc. I love Japanese' culture of respect, giving and longevity. I hope to follow this culture as well. Thank you
I have no words to express how much I love this video. I've been practicing Okinawan karate for almost four decades and I've always been fascinated by Okinawan longevity. My experience of life led me to believe that health is so much more than a mechanical process (like Western medicine often wants us to believe) but also has a social and emotional dimension to it. Christal explains this so well in this video. A HUGE thank you!
Mixed with my coffee, I add 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp coconut sugar, 1 tbsp of blackstrap molasses and sometimes a touch of coconut oil or cashew milk (homemade). Molasses is full of nutrients like Iron, Calcium and many others. I love that you’re selling the true sugar, and not the processed white powder that has a soapy synthetic aftertaste. Once you get used to the taste, the flavour shines. Very nice to see. If I ever get a chance, I will purchase a bag in Canada.
Well, most of what you say about lifestyle seems perfectly reasonable to me but I cannot agree completely with the last point. I find being among people all day the most stressful part of my life, I need very few people and am most content when I don’t have their “energy fields” or whatever it is, constantly buzzing around me. Sitting alone with my embroidery or even playing a video game feels so much more relaxing. I do really believe that being an extrovert is fine, but so is being an introvert. It isn’t a character flaw.
Enjoyable video absorbing benefif information that happens in okinawa as the one of blue zone in this planet.❤ Aki and christal,you are doing great job on this video.
I love this Video. While watching I sit on the couch, not want to go out this evening- but now it's time for taking walk and meet some friends. Thanks to you and Christal❤
love the philosophy of this video, with all this anxious topic on TH-cam it's a fresh breath ! thanks a lot ! I think this video can have an impact for me and I hope for other people ;) keep going ! (just like this some video wish list idea : Japanese cooking recipe / full Japanese kitchen tool / recommendations for matcha latte and which matcha to buy in France for good quality)
What an absolutely lovely young woman!! Such a phenomenol video, Aki. Thank you. I will be sourcing some product from Christal and her company, Haitai.
That's wonderful she exports japanese sugar. Do you guys export overseas any other Japanese food products?? I am in need of some of the Japanese healthy food items or herbs or teas. Thanks in advance
I just came from Christal's video. Commenting as to how I would like to see you two in more content. Bingo you tube feeds me just what I had asked for.
My Irish American grandparents each lived to the age of 103. They ate a typical American diet in moderation and drank alcohol occasionally. Great video thanks!
Love the video! It's truly a way of life; and so many life concepts mentioned here are also in the religion i practice which is Islam especially eating until 80% full and Nankuru Naisa! Okinawa is now on my bucket list of places to visit. Thank you!
Aki, your videos are exceptional and bring a lot of peace! Your guest is misinformed about sugar however. Sugar isn’t typically made from sugar cane, but instead is from the sugar beet. The idea that cane sugar isn’t available is absolutely not the case either. We have an abundance of raw sugar available, even in the basic grocery stores. I’m from Canada, and my habits are not as wonderful as the ones from this video. Inspirational!!
The key concept to remember if one forgets everything else in this video is, "whatever happens is meant to happen". Great culture, wonderful nation Japan indeed.
Thank you for this video, ❤🙏🏼 in my logic, human consist of 2 parts, spirit (non physical, we are light being) and flesh (physical, water) therefore we need 3 components from our food, light (food which get much exposure from sunlight), nutrients (carbs, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals) and water to nourish us. This conversation also point the spiritual aspect of eating: Eat/drink consciously, no extreme (just in moderation)
Excellent healthy habits in Okinawa, a combination of many good points: green vegetable, brown cane sugar, eating mindfully, moving around, kindness be generous, friendship, do not worry, what will-be will-be!
I had to stop the video mid way to say: yes, matcha latte with real brown sugar is di-vi-ne! Here in Brazil is quite easy to find it, so, yep, I've tried and the richness of it brings the match amazingly...
Bitte mehr von Okinawa und den Alltag sowie die Langlebigkeit sehr interessant vielleicht auch noch mehr über die goya Gurke was machst du so in Okinawa? Liebe Grüße
Great video, I spent some time on Okinawa while I was in the Air Force and loved it. I would move there if I could. But I think I had an unfair advantage compared to my wingman(that's military wingman, not bar hopping wingman) who was with me. He's of Native American decent and looks it, so he was obviously a "gaijin", while my appearance made me (somehow) look like I was Japanese with mixed ancestry (which is funny, I have 0% Asian in me, I'm Irish/Congolese, my eyes could pass as Asian, but the rest of me looks like a human Dalmatian). Anyhow I miss Okinawa, my favorite spots were the aquarium(watching those whale sharks was amazing) and America Village(it was funny seeing what someone else thought us Americans were like, also the Big Mac with squid was pretty good).
Aki-san, thank you so much for the interview about my passion! I'm gonna take you on my blue zone longevity tour next time you visit and let's drink awamori after, too (of course!)
To anyone watching, you can adapt any of these habits no matter where you are, because the key to longevity is not a specific type of food or exercise.
Hello, @Christal! Is Haitai sugar similar in anyway to muscovado sugar?
Grazie, Christal!! 🤗❤️🇮🇹
What a wonderful interview! Thank you for sharing all this useful information! ❤
thank you Christa! Where we can learn more about the longevity in Okinawa and their habits?
That was such a fantastic video! I m so glad that I decided to watch it. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge & experience. May be one day I get to visit Okinawa with my family ❤
It's really impressive how Christal is so successful in Japan while maintaining her independence! It's really difficult to run your own business in a foreign country without being independently wealthy or being sponsored by a company.
Fruitful video my takeaway
1. Go with the flow
2. Embrace spirituality
3. Things would happen on its own no matter how much one tries to control it
4. Forge meaningful relations, be kind and be emphatic
This is a wonderful takeaway!
Feed animals 😊
Love this video, Aki and Christal. I'm so inspire of the tip moving around(walking, cooking, cleaning, tending the field). I believe the reason why they don't stress is because they are living in the present moment. "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” Lao Tzu
You are correct, they live in the present moment :)
All of this is also true for my 96 year old grandma who lives in Germany. She is very independent, moving around a lot, eating in moderation, meeting with friends all the time and very giving. She is also very tough and doesn't complain much. I'm still trying to figure out how to do all of that myself - so far rather unsuccessful.
Meine Mutter ist auch so. Sie hat mehr Energie als ich😂
Who knew I ate hara-hachibu and never knew it. I am amazed at the quanities of food my fell Americans eat, not to mention what they eat! When I was in Okinawa, the thing more people noticed than anything else, was my size! They would point to themselves and me and exclaim you like us.! It simply hurts my stomach to over eat. Awamori is strong! I should definitely drink more! lol.
My mom lives with me here in the US, and there are certain little jobs I don't do unless she asks, so that she does get up and move around. I hope my mother can live with me as long as she lives.
We took an Okinawan cooking class while we were there, and were introduced to Okinawan ginger? I may not have under stood it correctly, but it grows everywhere locally, and they slice it up and put it in water to flavor it and cook with it too. She introduced us to seaweed, it was a specific kind that she had gathered herself. I loved it. I hated to return to US because I don't care for the foods most of us eat. LOL
Aki-san christal -san thank you so much I learned so much!
They don’t stress because they know that whatever they do it’s meant to be ❤. Nothing to worry about then. Truly wonderful and so wise.
Aki your channel is very healing for people with mental problems, problems dealing with reality, problems in everyday life, problems with dealing with all material things!
You inspire people with your open and honest nature! Even though I don't know you personally, I really like you and I'm always looking forward to a new video!!
very best regards
Cornelia
Aki can I ask you some?
You said your English isn't good and yet you have the courage to talk with someone in English. Great step! I'm proud of you and the video is amazing.
If anyone like to know more about the blue zones should read "ikigai - the secret to longevity". Such a great book
I was going to say his English almost sounds even better having conversation with someone else than when he does the scripts for his videos, he seems more comfortable not worrying about how he sounds for a video ❤
I agree and want to add my compliments to Aki San for his very natural conversational English, especially as he has said previously that he feels it isn't very good. Thank you for this video with important information
Thank you! 😃
Your English is great man! Keep making videos!
Great video. I lived 2 years on Okinawa and loved it. I also took a college course on Okinawa culture and learned so much. My children and wife also loved it.

She showed my wife how to cook them and gave us some to take home AFTER feeding us. The farmer stressed to my kids about the habu (deadly snake).
I wonder what those greens were 🤔
one interesting fact here is that Okinawa is also the poorest prefecture in Japan....which for me means that wealth has no correlation with longevity
@@vidaus-ir-lauko-durys no....if that's true then why African countries have shorter life expectancy?
Thank you Aki and Crista -I love these tips from your research and visits with the people in Okinawa!
I'm 73 and live in Oregon, next to my daughter's, where I see family daily, and it's easy to incorporate many of these naturally!
I am having a Japanese inspired breakfast (Miso soup with Wakame, stir fried greens from my garden + local asparagus, with some kim chi I made and grated carrot)
I'll meet a group of friends for lunch (it's a block away, and I'll walk over)
Hoping to grow some purple sweet potato from a tubor i found at a favorite market, and am starting seeds for my garden.
I have several tea Camellias and lots of herbs, and volunteer tending a tea garden in a local Edible landscape (a tea camellia plus herbs)
A tip on finding real sugar in the US - look for organic su-ca-nat (sugar cane natural) that's grown and processed naturally! I choose organic whenever I can, and filter my drinking and cooking water to reduce chemical exposure.

Wow you're amazing
More power to you!
Hi Aki!! Thank you for having Christal on your show. I always learn something from you and this video was no exception. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
I am glad I could share some knowledge :)
Thank you so much for this vid. Esp liked No 7 since my stress level is so up to my ears recently. Love frm Malaysia.
Yes, you can do it anywhere, but it is harder when surrounded with everyone else not doing it. I really enjoyed this video and I will keep striving for these habits.
This video is pure gold! So well done and I actually see a few things in my own life I should change to live a healthier and better life now that I’m watching this. Both of you guys drop so much truth and are so worth a follow!
Wonderful video! I learned so much. Great work Christal! Thank you
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
This video very inspiring! And I really like Christal, she's has such a positive presence 🌞
Love this video. Thank you both for honoring the culture of your elders by sharing it with us!
7. Song: k sara sara, whatever will be will be. .....
Nankuru naisa … sounds good . What a magical word. In buddhism we say everything is subjected to change. We have to accept everything
I'm a U.S. born half Okinawan, so I didn't get to experience being Okinawan. I really appreciate this video and learning about the culture.
Very interesting! My key takeaway is that you can't separate physical health from mental health. They are both linked, and both equally important for a truly healthy lifestyle. In the west, we seem to lack this connection, and we also tend to take things to the extreme.
Yes, EXACTLY!!
Thank you so much for all of these videos, Aki! They improve my life so much, and I'm so grateful for them 🙏
Nankuru Naisa…
Que Sera, Sera…
Whatever Will Be, Will Be?
Christal, Many Thanks for Sharing.
Take Care & Stay Safe.
Hakuna Matata ♥
Now, that was very inspiring! I loved listening to the two of you :D I already knew a bit about Okinawa, but know muuch more now. Especially when you said at the end about the easiness of it all. Not stressing about one more thing - longevity - but rather just living your live in the most heartfelt, communal and enjoyable way possible. I needed to hear that. Thank you!!
Arigato for this video. So simple yet profound
Arigato--!
I am an army brat born in Okinawa 55 years ago. I enjoyed this so much ❤. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing and linking her website. I look forward to reading all about it! My daughter and I have been looking for good resources to help guide our diet change.
Thank you, I'm always providing (often free) information, such as recipes, tips, and more.

I really like your videos . Please upload more . I watch them every morning to give me energy and start my day positively . ❤

Sometimes "no answer" is the very best answer. This was very enlightening. Thanx.
That's true!

I have watched many videos about okinawan longevity, but this one is the best! Thank you
Always enjoy Aki’s videos and Christal was a wonderful guest speaker.
Oh wow!!! I apply the Nankuru - Naisa in my daily living. I didn’t know that it’s a big thing in Okinawa. I learned something new today. Thanks!!!!!!
I love it when the elder in Okinawan say :"I don't stress". It is as natural as breathing to them.
amazing video!! thanks samurai matcha. greating from Argentina!
That is a very beautiful teachable moment video, thank you Aki.
Thank you!!
Enjoyable video absorbing benefif information that happens in okinawa as the one of blue zone in this planet.❤ Aki and christal,you are doing great job on this video.
I love the topic. When i opened my tablet. I’m frozen listening and watching. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
What a beautiful way to live life. Thank you great video ❤
Thank you for the amazing interview!
Thankyou for such great video Aki and Christal 😊❤
Yes I learned a lot today, no matter where you live easy up. Love from busy LA😂❤❤
Thank you so much!
I love this Video. While watching I sit on the couch, not want to go out this evening- but now it's time for taking walk and meet some friends.
Thanks to you and Christal❤
You are very blessed to live in Japan. Love your topic. That is what I am doing now. Engaging more in nature and living simple life. Thank you
love the philosophy of this video, with all this anxious topic on TH-cam it's a fresh breath ! thanks a lot ! I think this video can have an impact for me and I hope for other people ;) keep going ! (just like this some video wish list idea : Japanese cooking recipe / full Japanese kitchen tool / recommendations for matcha latte and which matcha to buy in France for good quality)
Aki, lovely video as always 💗 Great SIMPLE habits to focus on in life 🙏🏼 Hope you will enjoy visiting Okinawa again soon.
I just purchased some of your brown sugar on Amazon, can't wait to try it!
沖縄の年寄りはよく歩くのよ、ほんと。あ、私沖縄出身者です。私のばあちゃんは100歳でなくなりました。7つの習慣全部やってました。笑。習慣ってよそから来た人に言われるまで気づかないものですね。中学校の時、マラソン大会走り終えた後、一人一個黒砂糖配られました。汗かいた後のミネラル補給？
そうなんですね！沖縄の方に言われると本当なんだなと思います。本当に外からの目って大事ですよね。当たり前の素晴らしいところに気づかせてくれますからね：）
Thank you Aki, your videos always make me smile. Greetings from Poland❤
What an absolutely lovely young woman!! Such a phenomenol video, Aki. Thank you. I will be sourcing some product from Christal and her company, Haitai.
Great video! Thank you so much Christal and Aki-san 🙂
Thank you :)
Such a wonderful video
Thank you
I love this video! Im so happy that youtube suggested this to me❤
❤Hello,thank u both sharing,life lessons.we humans(most of us)HAVE forgotten to live and let live.so thank u once again,blessings.
That's wonderful she exports japanese sugar. Do you guys export overseas any other Japanese food products?? I am in need of some of the Japanese healthy food items or herbs or teas. Thanks in advance
What a beautiful culture. Thank you for inspiring us all!🙏🙏🙏
thank you very much i enjoy watching and learning more about life longevity ❤❤❤more power to both of you
I love your content, it's always so interesting ❤🎉😊
I just came from Christal's video. Commenting as to how I would like to see you two in more content. Bingo you tube feeds me just what I had asked for.
My Irish American grandparents each lived to the age of 103. They ate a typical American diet in moderation and drank alcohol occasionally. Great video thanks!
Love the video! It's truly a way of life; and so many life concepts mentioned here are also in the religion i practice which is Islam especially eating until 80% full and Nankuru Naisa! Okinawa is now on my bucket list of places to visit. Thank you!
Great video today. Lots of information. Thank you
Great Topic. I would like to continue learning more.
I loved this video!! Definitely going to start embracing "nankuru naisa" in my life. Thank you for this! ^_^
i would have liked a interview with old aged Okinawas +100yrs
Really great video!!! I would like to learn more.
Thank you so much for your video about longevity. Thank you so much for both .😊😊😊😊
Aki, your videos are exceptional and bring a lot of peace!
Your guest is misinformed about sugar however. Sugar isn’t typically made from sugar cane, but instead is from the sugar beet. The idea that cane sugar isn’t available is absolutely not the case either. We have an abundance of raw sugar available, even in the basic grocery stores. I’m from Canada, and my habits are not as wonderful as the ones from this video. Inspirational!!

Your video is very useful for me.
Thank you for sharing. I like it.
That is so Inspiring thanks for sharing
The key concept to remember if one forgets everything else in this video is, "whatever happens is meant to happen". Great culture, wonderful nation Japan indeed.
Another great video, and a great interview! Excellent work!
i like that philosophy - eat to live, eat moderately
I learned a lot from this video. I tend to stress a lot sometimes. I will practice the Okinawan style ❤
Nankuru Naisa reminds me of Hakuna Matata (Swahili). Good reminder when facing stressful points in your life.
That’s great content! Netflix has already the documentary about blue zones ❤
Thank you for this video, ❤🙏🏼
in my logic, human consist of 2 parts, spirit (non physical, we are light being) and flesh (physical, water) therefore we need 3 components from our food, light (food which get much exposure from sunlight), nutrients (carbs, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals) and water to nourish us.

Loved it! You both are great people!
Thank you - pleasant learning experience.

I'm from the Philippines particularly in Mintal Little Tokyo. You missed the Okinawan taro from Kin Village and Gobo( Burdock)
Thank you for sharing.
I am from India but learning about japans culture is really interesting and aspiring 😊
Bitte mehr von Okinawa und den Alltag sowie die Langlebigkeit sehr interessant vielleicht auch noch mehr über die goya Gurke was machst du so in Okinawa? Liebe Grüße
Wow! Great video, I loved it:)
Great information ! Arigatou!
Thank you for this video! ❤❤🙏🏻
Great video, I spent some time on Okinawa while I was in the Air Force and loved it. I would move there if I could.
