Secret to living a long life? 2:20 *Be Female* Seriously, have a look at the lists yourselves, its dominated by women. Top ten oldest people of all time are all women. Way to go ladies! Long live women!
Leafleap you are 100% right!! There is only 1 male supercentenarian and - he’s from Japan 🇯🇵 but let’s not talk about it and worry us guys! We want to believe we have an equal chance 😂
That is nice of you to say but the real reason why Japan has a rather large and growing number of elderly that can live well into the 100's is a mixture of healthcare avaible. Even so the main reason is that the japanes government won't allow their citizens to be unhealthy. They make sure that all of their citizens take better care of themselves and they don't allow them to get over weight. There is another video on youtube talking about just how Japan keeps their people healthy by the government being in complete control of their people.
My Grandpa in India lived for 106 yrs. He led a simple stress free life, enjoyed regular traditional meal. But he ate smaller portions, maintained discipline about meal time and went to sleep on time. Did mild form of Yoga and passed away naturally without any disease.
Elderly people and family valued are priorities not only in Japan but in most muslim majority countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey and so on.
My granpa passed away last year are almost 100 years old.And he always said to his grandchildrens:be careful with what you eat because food make you alive but also can kill you.
@@hopefaith5562 people are not solely to blame. Foods makers & business stragests are those who should be blames the most. Those who consumed the poisoned foods made a bad choice to consumed. Consummers who are ignorant fell victims. This is why education is very important.
Also they have a strong family unit and they have a very strict immigration policy so their country isnt overrun by 3rd worlders who think their entitled to everything.
In Japan, they have documentaries of why people eat healthier and live longer and what they did to get there. In America, we have documentaries of why people weigh 600 lbs. or over and what in life has got them to that point.
Seriously. Me and my mom watched a documentary about america fattening it's citizens and other countries. More people need to know how evil the fast food industry really is.
@@gallerycatstudios8018 Yes. Exactly. But, it's not just the Fast food industries who take full blame. Even things like portion sizes, nutrition and moderation have gotten worse over time in America as well. Like you take a standard meal of a burger, some fries, and a small soda. That's relatively not bad, but if a person eats like that plus double everyday, then that's where most of it comes from. And with a lot of prepared foods, many food companies take much needed nutrients, vitamins, and minerals the human body should have out, and constantly adding ingredients the human body relatively doesn't need, or doesn't need much. Like so many foods and drinks have high numbers of sodium, carbohydrates, fructose corn syrup, and the main culprit of why many Americans gain so much and develop many health diseases, sugar. Many foods and drinks have up to 50 to even 60 percent of sugar. And with moderation, it should be explained that uncooked fruits and vegetables should be consumed everyday.
@@gallerycatstudios8018 But, there's definitely many minor things that many people don't pay attention to either. Like how big the boxes, bags and cans of preprocessed foods have gotten. Or even stuff like cultural foods, is another culprit of rapid weight gain. Lack of movement. Just stuff like that.
@@seanbrummfield448 yes, it's not only the fast food restaurants. It's also how people process the meat in factories, and how badly they treat the farm animals. There's also the excessive dyes that they put in drinks, candy, and regular food.
@@gallerycatstudios8018 Yes. That's right. This is why after you eat something, you may still feel hungry an hour later. A lot of the nutritional value, is just not there. Which encourages a person, to eat more. It's awful.
A simple mantra to remember, "If you don't use it, you loose it." This goes for almost all aspects of the human experience. In terms of age it's notably apparent in, muscles, bones, cardiovascular fitness, learning (brain), sense of humour, capacity to love, etc. If you have regressed in any area, not all is lost, the body is wondrous in it's capacity to heal and rehabilitate, the key is belief and taking the first steps. Life rewards courage.
Very true! we need to encourage the over 65`s to get out and about more and exercise instead of sitting around expecting others to do everything for them. We must stop assuming that elderly people are incapable of taking care of themselves and stop rushing to help them across the street, carry their shopping, etc.
because asia has a culture to live with their elders. kids nurture them with respect and therefore they are happy, no pressure to the aging elders, and this gives them no stress. These are the very denominator of longevity. it is time that all of us should follow their example.
Yes, that is probably a big factor. Elderly are appreciated and play a big role in society, while here in Central Europe, as soon as they retire we forget them and only visit a few times a year. We should really go back to keeping our family members close.
@@mariaroncara2132 in the East people live with big families where elders stay at home with their kid's families... In the West old parents go to the home for the elderly... So sad
Japanese culture is revolved around nature, kindness, and wellness...there is no doubt in my mind that that these are the reasons for all that peace on that little island.
@@macclift9956 🤓That is possible. Although, I think the lack of diversity is due to the fact that Japan is an island. I could be wrong though. You lost me a little at the end. I can somewhat make out what your trying to say.
@@m_d_l_a3208 The lower the average IQ/EQ, the higher the criminality and predatory aggression (such as breaking into houses, or attacks on people to steal their bags and possessions etc., or even just to hurt them: the gratuitous violence that is taking place in London in the form of knife attacks and acid throwing, for example). In some countries where the average IQ/EQ is low, *and* there is a lot of *non-homogeneous* diversity, it is often the group with the highest IQ (usually the most successful group in terms of possessions etc.), that is resented and preyed upon. Those who can't create and maintain wealth (often because of low IQ), will tell themselves (collectively), that the more successful group stole land or whatever from the less successful, low IQ group, and *that* is why they are rich, successful etc! They then have a sense of entitlement to attack, hurt, and steal from the "enemy!" The citizens in Japan don't have to deal with any of those problems!
@@stevencorwin2313 I would imagine that their kindness, respect etc., is reserved for their extended family which is their own culture first and foremost, as well as for other *homogeneous* cultures within their country and perhaps also for visitors/outsiders who seem worthy of respect; if low IQ brutes filled to the brim with low emotional intelligence, a sense of entitlement and high levels of testosterone-driven predatory aggression were to start invading their space, and breeding at the speed of light, one would probably see a different side to them!
I am an American who has been longing to visit Japan since childhood. I am studying the language on my own because I want to be ready if that day ever comes. Japan and its culture have always drawn me in, and Japanese music, art and stories often sustain me and keep me sane during the dark times in life. Now, I am exploring and trying the healthy foods eaten there, in the hope that these foods will restore my health. The American diet has destroyed the bodies of so many people, and I don't want to be another victim.
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 NIV ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” Luke 19:10 God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊💞
Same!! I'm from INDIA 🇮🇳 and I too have a dream to visit Japan before I die . I've been learning Japanese language through internet. Wish you all the best🍀💫❣
My grandfather was 107 yrs old when he passed away in June 2019. He grew up in the Caribbean Island of Trinidad so his diet was similar to these people but included lots of tropical fruits and veggies. He had an easy-going personality and his mind stayed sharp til the end of his life. He was always very active and woke up by dawn everyday.
@@dannymartinez8522 - I count myself very fortunate growing up in a place where just outside your front or back door there was a bounty of fruits and veggies for the asking.
Trini 2DeBone these days all the foods have lots of harmful chemicals... We have to eat natural foods to live longer... 100 years is really small... I want to live 1000 years :)
true.. very true... i lived on Japan for 10 yrs.. the best country... very polite.. very clean... beautiful nature.. everything in Japan i miss... wish to see it back
Yes, everything is Japanese. There is no foreign invasion as there is in Europe at this time. Europe is being destroyed and robed of their thousand year of cultures.
Thanks! Ethical interviewing is essential with video socio anthropology. This good example of narrative, camera, and attention to the audience knowledge has all the elements. Nice work!
Japanese seniors often live with their families. meanwhile in the USA, we stick our parents, who took care of us and fed us, in nursing homes which cost 100s of thousands of dollars a year! Japan treats older people a lot better than in the US where they are considered useless, which is just horrible to think of older people like that because they are not useless. We learn from older people. If we live long enough, we will be older people too. So let's try and respect older generation like they do in Japan.
I have read where that is changing. In executive type households the men are working endless hours and the women are working and trying to do all the childcare and some can not take care of their elderly parents too. It's so sad when countries start becoming like America.
This happens in every country not just only in America were older people kept in nursing this is jst little side of video their are many older Ppl are living alone in Japan and their kids don't visit them they die lonely. I heard many stories were Japanese older Ppl died and their children hided their bodies and they were taking their pansion from government
You forget that the American parents want their kids gone when they are 18. You want me gone . Oh, you are alone in a nursing home! Well? In Europe, we stay home as long we want to. And I was working and there was always a battle at the dinner table who is paying for what. My parents always said. , save your money, we got this. No I said no more. I help or I go the friends house. Than they said ok but only for food and clothes. I got somewhere. 2wws, hunger and poverty taught us to stick together.
My mother died at 100 and her sister my aunt died at 105 almost 106 . There were from Cuba but lived in exile in Santo Domingo . My mother worked until 95 she was a Guidance and a Psychologist . She loved her work and helped thousands of students get their career. My aunt was a writer but spend tio much of a stressful life in her husbands politics . They eat a Mediterranean diet , not too much food for sure and not much grease . Genes are really one of the most important factos in living a long life but the food and to help others is very important too !! The inner condition of live and your Karma is most important !
Like most traditional cultures, Japan's elderly maintain a diet their ancestors have been eating for years, stay active and don't lead sedentary lives. Growing your own food, making your own food, walking everywhere, reducing stress, etc. Now, I'd like to see the stats on Japan's younger generations, since they're mostly adopting the standard Western diet and aren't as active.
Melanie Anne Ahern... Hello a little info, are you familiar with a american youtuber having a family and living in philippines hes youtube channel is Ahern Tribe....
Walk 30mins daily, take time for yourself to reduce stress. Get a massage, go on a hike, enjoy the outdoors, eat whole foods and cook at home, monitor your blood pressure regularly. Do kidney/liver cleanses. Bang you’re on you’re way to a long life. And if possible cut out grains and sugar from your diet.
I don't know about cutting out grains... rice is a stable for the Japanese as for Chinese. I can't live without rice. A meal isn't a meal without rice. O_O
Oh! How I miss Japan! Been staying there for a month with my family, I miss Japanese food, the people are so welcoming & friendly and very clean country💕
To sum it up eat well, sleep well, rest well, exercise well, live close to nature, always show gratitude in life and dont rush/overdoing anything in life, plus dont forget see doctor for health check up every year.
Apart from being highly disciplined, punctual and organized, this is something other countries should learn from Japan. If we only live and practice the same way Japanese people live, we might actually achieve what they have. Proper diet and exercise, in a world of fast-paced technology, a lot of people have been stuck in their computers and gadgets that they often forget their health and well-being.
Stannis B he shares it with several other people. He didn’t buy it all himself :p but I did like the duality of life - humble and simple, it also fun and way out there!! 😂 it’s a good story!
wafzulmi52 that's a 2006-2012 Cayman (albeit base model) if I'm not mistaken..and imports are expensive in Japan. I'd say that car could cost anywhere in the $100k USD range in Japan when new. For a bit higher spec than base.
This is very true, my grandfather is 94 and strong as a horse. All his brothers and sisters have lived over 95 years. They all live a very low stress life on a ranch in Mexico. They still grow a lot of their own foods and walk a lot.
Just watching this video on you tube. I really would like to see the Japanese culture. Reading from the comment. It look very clean. I hope I can visit Japan. Nature
Eat healthy, drink two cups of green tea daily, exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well. That's what I've done and it's my 90th birthday next week. 😊
Eat vegetables, fresh air, grean tea, do not eat too much meat, drink a clean water, drink lemon, do not drink too much cola, do not eat too much sugar, prevent from the smokes, always clean the house, do not use airconditioner because it has a germs that comes from the air, always clean your things and do not eat/drink that can damage your stomach/urinary/liver/heart/lungs (sorry for the bad english)
@@arghirrellle I am aged but do my gym workouts. I maintain GOOD posture. I pull cable weights around 25 kilos in the gym two/three times a week. I also look after quite a substantial decorative garden area. If you do not do physical labour then you must do a substitute for that. Working with a sensible weight-load builds the bones and strengthens the muscles so you will not have aches and pains because you become straightened out again. Our bodies start to stoop and curl forward as we age - don't let that happen - sitting with bent knees is really bad, recline with legs raised to watch TV or when reading etc. It's common sense. Have a physical checkup first though and then get advice from a physio mainly about what you SHOULDN'T do if you have any weak spots to slowly strengthen up. I eat around no more 1500 calories a day - sometimes less and I look 15 years younger than my chronological age. Protein is important when you start aging. I have a scoop or two of whey for my little workouts and my hair, skin and nails are great. Some moisturizer is needed. Drink plenty of water - more than you think you should - until almost colourless pee. I like the gym because it's safer than walking alone, it's dry when the rain is pouring and it's cool in the humid months. I do only a 5 minute warm-up jog on the treadmills and get the heck off those things and over to the cable weights. I also do free weights and leg press above my body weight. The leg press is important for building strong buttocks, calves and the sides of your lower legs so you can walk normally like a young person, not doddering and off balance or stooping. I am 5'2' and weight 110 lbs, around 51 kilos. No back aches for me.
... perhaps also the opportunity to do work that you feel good about/enjoy and that you know is helpful and useful in at least one other persons life. That and of course a few good friends and a loving family, a lover who you love and adore and who loves you back and always has your back/ maybe even the laughter of children. Maybe I just want to much!?
My grandmother is 90...My great grandma moved on at 106.. .Great great grandma at 105. I think my grandma will outlive her ancestors.Never been sick.Lives on the slopes of mount Kenya. And i'm about to move over there to take over the reins. I've never been sick either. Not even a cold. I'm vegan and always have been except being breastfed. I refused meat and dairy at weaning stage. My ancestors eat it once a year at thanksgiving observing the Hebrew law of not shedding blood in vain.
My okasan died unexpectedly at the age of 88! She was an amazing okasan! So hardworking and independent. Full of goodness and grace. Was so healthy in mind, body and spirit. I miss her so much! I wish I could be even close to what she was. A complete role model for anyone who wants to be strong and determined. She ate healthy. Drank green tea most of the day. And consumed miso soup, salmon sushi and seaweed. Love you mama ❤️
Your beloved Okasan was totally awesome! My beloved Okasan was passed away on her 69 T.T She got accident not because of disease. She was totally healthy. I miss her so bad huhu...
My great grandfather once told me that he didn't want to live past 90, since he had lived a very fulfilling life and was tired. I could understand since he had almost no friends alive of his age, and his wife had died long before he did. He died peacefully in his sleep a week after his 90th birthday, in no pain whatsoever :) I'm not sure if I want to live longer than 100 years, but I don't wanna life a short life either. I guess time will tell :D
Good sleep and 3 meals a day that is their secrets. Fresh foods, always drink warm water, exercise during their work and eat always soybeans and fresh tofus. Healthy foods only they eaten. I salute those super centenerian people.
Our family had a Japanese food production business here in Toronto. Our major product was abura age so the tofu making process is very familiar. We also made konyaku, mochi, napazuke and lots of other pickled vegetables. I think we may have been the first to make boxed futomaki and Inari sushi boxed lunches before restaurants began taking over with fresh fish. The work was so difficult no one ever took our place when my brother eventually retired. Now I have to buy frozen age from Japan which isn’t the same. I miss how tender the inari sushi tofu was when it was fresh. I’m going to have to make one more trip to Japan to get the real deal. Thanks John, I enjoyed this episode.
The place is mad beautiful, the people seem good and generally happy, their food looks delicious and healthy, this video is giving me very peaceful and happy vibes so goodbye Kenya, it was good to know you but i gotta go and live in Japan.
This is what’s taught in Japanese culture. I have three degrees in Japanese alternative medicine, while studying I got introduced on how they live and think. As of to date I do everything I can to live this beautiful life. I too drink green tea every day. The Japanese culture has taught me how to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life.
Jacqueline Larsen They and all Asians are from Japheth The son of Noah. Think about what they have in common with the Jewish people. You may be surprised
I wanna live there someday and be a manga artist, sadly I don't think people from my country were treated well as workers in Japan. They gladly welcome tourists but I'm not sure about overseas workers.
And all diseases come from them because they eat everything like dogs, cats ..bats...and bring to this world Covid 19... and lots more from the past....all from china...how healthy is that... Who need live more then 100 years...its must be joking ...i dont need even in bad dream life like this...
I had two aunts one who lived 102 years and the other lived to be almost 99 years. They were born and almost all of the time in Los Angeles except for time spent in interment camp during WWII. I know that they did not smoke or drink but they had normal diets. i know of seven other Japanese Americans who lived more than 100 years and only one was male.
I would love to move forever.. people over there are too kind and have no evil mind believes in hard works and loves neoghbour even 1 or 2 years girl can go for ouring alone.
I love watching documentary featuring Japan ❤️ their culture, food, the people ❤️ the way they live their lives for me is so peaceful and very simple ❤️😇 whenever someone ask me what is the country i dream to visit. I've always tell them its Japan ❤️😭
Here is what I have learned in this video so far In order to increase your chances of living to 100. 1. Eat freshly made tofu 2. Be energetic 3. Always be happy. 4. Be surrounded with family members. 5. Live in a mild climate. 6. No stress 7. Be a Female 8. Live in Japan.
It is wonderful that the Japanese are able to live longer.I would think that their Diet and constant activity assist with this and of course their genes help too. I have wanted to go to Japan forever... My son did go there and taught English.
the secrets is to be: humble less greedy for worldy material things have fun n b happy less stress or dont stress worship god stay away from conflict n look for peace!
And they make the best motors in the world my lexus rx330 has 185thousand miles 2005 made in Japan and still beautiful inside and out and running like a new one way to go Japan ❤️💯
Eat mostly plants. whole food plant based, activity and movement, keep in touch with your friends and family, meditation and reduce stress. Live a minimalistic life. Happiness is not a destination, we have to strive every day to be happy, positive and content with what you have, don’t compare yourself with the Jones.
In Philippines there's a 101 y.o grandma that's still working as a tattoo artist, she's also tattooed all over her body ,still has strong bright teeth and moves like a young person, seriously.
I saw her. She said her secret is grabbing onto male private parts 🤣 I imagine she kidding around but wow I still couldn't believe she still does that. Haha
I immediately thought, maybe he wasn't always a priest, but used to be a stock broker investing in stuff bad for people's health, and that's how he can afford a Porsche. Win-win. Yeah, I'm a bit cynical about these things.
Amazing... big up to my Grammy still alive today at 99 years!! Still walking and able to do things on her own 💪🏾👵🏾 Grandad was 102 when he passed a few years back.. rip 😔⚰ And today is actually my dad's birthday who also passed away last year. He was 70 rip dad 😪⚰ Blessings from Bahamas 🇧🇸
The japanese are so well-behaved, healthy, humble and polite. The world has so much to learn from them. Also the facts that kids learn from a very young age how to take responsibility.
My abuela is now 97 and can still managed to Walk from my uncle's house to ours. She also swip dry leaves every morning. I hope she will live longer. I noticed that she always eats smaller portion of food.
In the Philippines we eat the same every morning, we called it Tahu which is added with tapioca and sugarcane molasses. We have Tufo too which is dipped in vinegar onions chilli and garlic
Exactly. you can eat Right, exercise, have great relationships but if your job is about to kill you or it's very stressful all that good stuff is for not. Stress has been linked to many diseases especially cancer.
Hi, this video was awesome, thank you! My Japanese grandmother lived to be 90 in Hawaii. Regarding the traditional making of tofu. I was told the secret for gaining the exceptional health benefits of soy is the fermentation of the process for tofu and tempeh....was one of these steps considered the fermenting process?
7:46 It's AMAZING that the Great Grandfather is so calm about having the child be so near that huge, hot pot! NO FEAR...STAY CALM. Fear holds so many people back from doing anything! Awesome lifestyle that they live.
I love this story, about Japanese customs, traditions, ethics and diet "Haku Hatchi" and secrets of Super Centurion Tamikosan who lives and works the farm and does not experience sickness and attributes her longevity to healthy diet , (eating tofu), and Oyasumi nasi.
Wow She is 106 years old and still give you detail information about her life, that’s amazing. This video inspires me to work more and stay active no matter what.🙏
My great-grand-uncle Theodore was passed over for conscription in WWII due to “delicate health”; he’s been an invalid since he contracted tuberculosis in 1927, aged sixteen. While all the strong young men of his generation have long since passed away, Uncle Theo is still going strong at 109. He never thought he’d make it past thirty, but since he became a centenarian he began to take his health seriously - he even cut down on the booze, and to just a single packet of cigarettes a day.
Stupid Steve Jobs did not hear about that.... i wish he could have afforded fresh organic food :-D or i could mention like 99% of the world that does not consume processed food and yet never makes it to 100...
Not at all I'm Japanese first of all But my average mark was probably a C- during my Junior High Years and the pressure is the answer why i hate school a lot
CatalinaCNV I like it, too, but it appears a repeat though, taken from his video he already did. I remember it because I watched it already, a few months ago.
My Grandma lived to 102. She ate meat, potatoes, vegetables, no junk food, took a shot of sherry every day, and walked every morning and late afternoon.
She is 106 years old and still give you detail information about her life, that’s amazing. This video inspires me to work more and stay active no matter what.

Elderly people and family valued are priorities not only in Japan but in most muslim majority countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey and so on.
arabs value their elders too
I know, right?
You have know idea.. Japans have a cultures of killing their old people
Everything in Japan is built to last. Look at their cars... Honda and Toyota. They focus on quality over quantity.
i beg to disagree, toyota is the most numbers in the whole world, just say quality period...
Look at that arch that survived the nuclear bombing AND the tsunami.
Even their watches lasts - Seiko, Orient, Citizen, Casio !
@Ben G what im trying to say, they can make numbers but still on high quality and that is japan
it starts with nationalism, individualism, pride.....
no pride in being a slave to the system in the USA , unfortunately....
My granpa passed away last year are almost 100 years old.And he always said to his grandchildrens:be careful with what you eat because food make you alive but also can kill you.

Yes, thank you for sharing. He was truly blessed. He must be a well discipled man. Very true what he said. God bless him.
Thanks for sharing may he live fully in heaven as well🌹
In America they don’t care at all!! GMO and processed food everywhere! High sodium and high sugar!

Man... we're so screwed in America. These elderly people are retiring at 90 and still looking like 60 while we retire at 60 and looking like 90.
Also they have a strong family unit and they have a very strict immigration policy so their country isnt overrun by 3rd worlders who think their entitled to everything.
They still look old even at 60-70 yrs old.

Good one that. True.😊

Yeah we are Fucked big time in America and it’s scary!
In Japan, they have documentaries of why people eat healthier and live longer and what they did to get there. In America, we have documentaries of why people weigh 600 lbs. or over and what in life has got them to that point.

@@seanbrummfield448 yes, it's not only the fast food restaurants. It's also how people process the meat in factories, and how badly they treat the farm animals. There's also the excessive dyes that they put in drinks, candy, and regular food.
@@gallerycatstudios8018 Yes. That's right. This is why after you eat something, you may still feel hungry an hour later. A lot of the nutritional value, is just not there. Which encourages a person, to eat more. It's awful.

A simple mantra to remember, "If you don't use it, you loose it." This goes for almost all aspects of the human experience. In terms of age it's notably apparent in, muscles, bones, cardiovascular fitness, learning (brain), sense of humour, capacity to love, etc. If you have regressed in any area, not all is lost, the body is wondrous in it's capacity to heal and rehabilitate, the key is belief and taking the first steps. Life rewards courage.
Well said!👏👏👏
What fantastic words.
Thank you for the encouragement!
Very true! we need to encourage the over 65`s to get out and about more and exercise instead of sitting around expecting others to do everything for them. We must stop assuming that elderly people are incapable of taking care of themselves and stop rushing to help them across the street, carry their shopping, etc.
Thank you
because asia has a culture to live with their elders. kids nurture them with respect and therefore they are happy, no pressure to the aging elders, and this gives them no stress. These are the very denominator of longevity. it is time that all of us should follow their example.
Yes, that is probably a big factor. Elderly are appreciated and play a big role in society, while here in Central Europe, as soon as they retire we forget them and only visit a few times a year.
We should really go back to keeping our family members close.
What are you dreaming? 100 years ago it might have been true. Now its old people's home everywhere where they are bulled and killed, often.
@@mariaroncara2132 in the East people live with big families where elders stay at home with their kid's families... In the West old parents go to the home for the elderly... So sad

somewhat. But lots of meat and seafood is key
Japanese culture is revolved around nature, kindness, and wellness...there is no doubt in my mind that that these are the reasons for all that peace on that little island.
I agree!
@@macclift9956 🤓That is possible. Although, I think the lack of diversity is due to the fact that Japan is an island. I could be wrong though. You lost me a little at the end. I can somewhat make out what your trying to say.
@@m_d_l_a3208 The lower the average IQ/EQ, the higher the criminality and predatory aggression (such as breaking into houses, or attacks on people to steal their bags and possessions etc., or even just to hurt them: the gratuitous violence that is taking place in London in the form of knife attacks and acid throwing, for example). In some countries where the average IQ/EQ is low, *and* there is a lot of *non-homogeneous* diversity, it is often the group with the highest IQ (usually the most successful group in terms of possessions etc.), that is resented and preyed upon. Those who can't create and maintain wealth (often because of low IQ), will tell themselves (collectively), that the more successful group stole land or whatever from the less successful, low IQ group, and *that* is why they are rich, successful etc! They then have a sense of entitlement to attack, hurt, and steal from the "enemy!" The citizens in Japan don't have to deal with any of those problems!
Then why were they allies with Hitler.
@@stevencorwin2313 I would imagine that their kindness, respect etc., is reserved for their extended family which is their own culture first and foremost, as well as for other *homogeneous* cultures within their country and perhaps also for visitors/outsiders who seem worthy of respect; if low IQ brutes filled to the brim with low emotional intelligence, a sense of entitlement and high levels of testosterone-driven predatory aggression were to start invading their space, and breeding at the speed of light, one would probably see a different side to them!
I am an American who has been longing to visit Japan since childhood. I am studying the language on my own because I want to be ready if that day ever comes. Japan and its culture have always drawn me in, and Japanese music, art and stories often sustain me and keep me sane during the dark times in life. Now, I am exploring and trying the healthy foods eaten there, in the hope that these foods will restore my health. The American diet has destroyed the bodies of so many people, and I don't want to be another victim.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊💞

My grandfather was 107 yrs old when he passed away in June 2019. He grew up in the Caribbean Island of Trinidad so his diet was similar to these people but included lots of tropical fruits and veggies. He had an easy-going personality and his mind stayed sharp til the end of his life. He was always very active and woke up by dawn everyday.
I wish I was raised with these kinds of foods
@@dannymartinez8522 - I count myself very fortunate growing up in a place where just outside your front or back door there was a bounty of fruits and veggies for the asking.

Yes, everything is Japanese. There is no foreign invasion as there is in Europe at this time. Europe is being destroyed and robed of their thousand year of cultures.
Some ppl these days don’t have respect for our elders. My parents gave me life and took care of me and I would do the same no matter what

Hi John, I know you have been working long and hard on this episode and it shows. Great Work! I loved it. Looking forward to the next one.
Agreed. I prefer this to the go-channel, but of course he can't push out such stuff every day.... unfortunately. ;)
Japanese seniors often live with their families. meanwhile in the USA, we stick our parents, who took care of us and fed us, in nursing homes which cost 100s of thousands of dollars a year! Japan treats older people a lot better than in the US where they are considered useless, which is just horrible to think of older people like that because they are not useless. We learn from older people. If we live long enough, we will be older people too. So let's try and respect older generation like they do in Japan.
I have read where that is changing. In executive type households the men are working endless hours and the women are working and trying to do all the childcare and some can not take care of their elderly parents too. It's so sad when countries start becoming like America.
This happens in every country not just only in America were older people kept in nursing this is jst little side of video their are many older Ppl are living alone in Japan and their kids don't visit them they die lonely.
I heard many stories were Japanese older Ppl died and their children hided their bodies and they were taking their pansion from government
You forget that the American parents want their kids gone when they are 18. You want me gone . Oh, you are alone in a nursing home! Well? In Europe, we stay home as long we want to. And I was working and there was always a battle at the dinner table who is paying for what. My parents always said.
, save your money, we got this. No I said no more. I help or I go the friends house. Than they said ok but only for food and clothes. I got somewhere. 2wws, hunger and poverty taught us to stick together.

My mother died at 100 and her sister my aunt died at 105 almost 106 . There were from Cuba but lived in exile in Santo Domingo . My mother worked until 95 she was a Guidance and a Psychologist . She loved her work and helped thousands of students get their career. My aunt was a writer but spend tio much of a stressful life in her husbands politics . They eat a Mediterranean diet , not too much food for sure and not much grease . Genes are really one of the most important factos in living a long life but the food and to help others is very important too !! The inner condition of live and your Karma is most important !
Like most traditional cultures, Japan's elderly maintain a diet their ancestors have been eating for years, stay active and don't lead sedentary lives. Growing your own food, making your own food, walking everywhere, reducing stress, etc.
Now, I'd like to see the stats on Japan's younger generations, since they're mostly adopting the standard Western diet and aren't as active.
Melanie Anne Ahern... Hello a little info, are you familiar with a american youtuber having a family and living in philippines hes youtube channel is Ahern Tribe....
Plus, no MSG on every food
Roxass00 lol. Msg is in almost every household in Japan
Walk 30mins daily, take time for yourself to reduce stress. Get a massage, go on a hike, enjoy the outdoors, eat whole foods and cook at home, monitor your blood pressure regularly. Do kidney/liver cleanses. Bang you’re on you’re way to a long life. And if possible cut out grains and sugar from your diet.
I don't know about cutting out grains... rice is a stable for the Japanese as for Chinese. I can't live without rice. A meal isn't a meal without rice. O_O
JAPANESE, PEOPLE ARE ONE OF THE HEALHTIES PEOPLE ON EARTH OR THE MAY BE THE NUMBER ONE,LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
It all boils down to discipline, thankfulness and simplicity.
Chris Toff true
You think like me.

Wow! You think well. Same here being simple is happier and affordable. Hiking while exploring nature gives you energy and the sense of completeness.
Oh! How I miss Japan! Been staying there for a month with my family, I miss Japanese food, the people are so welcoming & friendly and very clean country💕
In deed iam going to Japan iam semi retired in my 60s IAM a natural. Nature Man
To sum it up eat well, sleep well, rest well, exercise well, live close to nature, always show gratitude in life and dont rush/overdoing anything in life, plus dont forget see doctor for health check up every year.
And buy a Porsche!
The worse thing that you can do is to go see a doctor.

That Tofu family is quite amazing. Respect for not changing with the times and still using traditional and healthy materials for their product.
Yeah, this whole episode has to be renamed "Ode to Tofu"
I agree 👍, and it's not genetically modified soy!
Totally agreed
Apart from being highly disciplined, punctual and organized, this is something other countries should learn from Japan. If we only live and practice the same way Japanese people live, we might actually achieve what they have. Proper diet and exercise, in a world of fast-paced technology, a lot of people have been stuck in their computers and gadgets that they often forget their health and well-being.

wafzulmi52 that's a 2006-2012 Cayman (albeit base model) if I'm not mistaken..and imports are expensive in Japan. I'd say that car could cost anywhere in the $100k USD range in Japan when new. For a bit higher spec than base.
I think being happy and stressfree is the way too
Virtually impossible, in a typical school or workplace.
This is very true, my grandfather is 94 and strong as a horse. All his brothers and sisters have lived over 95 years. They all live a very low stress life on a ranch in Mexico. They still grow a lot of their own foods and walk a lot.

@@arghirrellle I am aged but do my gym workouts. I maintain GOOD posture.
I pull cable weights around 25 kilos in the gym two/three times a week.
I also look after quite a substantial decorative garden area.
If you do not do physical labour then you must do a substitute for that. Working with a sensible weight-load builds the bones and strengthens the muscles so you will not have aches and pains because you become straightened out again.
Our bodies start to stoop and curl forward as we age - don't let that happen - sitting with bent knees is really bad, recline with legs raised to watch TV or when reading etc. It's common sense.
Have a physical checkup first though and then get advice from a physio mainly about what you SHOULDN'T do if you have any weak spots to slowly strengthen up.
I eat around no more 1500 calories a day - sometimes less and I look 15 years younger than my chronological age. Protein is important when you start aging. I have a scoop or two of whey for my little workouts and my hair, skin and nails are great. Some moisturizer is needed.
Drink plenty of water - more than you think you should - until almost colourless pee.
I like the gym because it's safer than walking alone, it's dry when the rain is pouring and it's cool in the humid months. I do only a 5 minute warm-up jog on the treadmills and get the heck off those things and over to the cable weights.
I also do free weights and leg press above my body weight. The leg press is important for building strong buttocks, calves and the sides of your lower legs so you can walk normally like a young person, not doddering and off balance or stooping.
I am 5'2' and weight 110 lbs, around 51 kilos. No back aches for me.
They eat a lot of healthy foods that has Omega 3, D, K, A, and Magensuim.

"I believe in living with nature, being surrounded by it, is what makes life good."
Definitely agree with that. :)
... perhaps also the opportunity to do work that you feel good about/enjoy and that you know is helpful and useful in at least one other persons life. That and of course a few good friends and a loving family, a lover who you love and adore and who loves you back and always has your back/ maybe even the laughter of children. Maybe I just want to much!?

My great grandfather once told me that he didn't want to live past 90, since he had lived a very fulfilling life and was tired. I could understand since he had almost no friends alive of his age, and his wife had died long before he did.
He died peacefully in his sleep a week after his 90th birthday, in no pain whatsoever :)
I'm not sure if I want to live longer than 100 years, but I don't wanna life a short life either. I guess time will tell :D

Our family had a Japanese food production business here in Toronto. Our major product was abura age so the tofu making process is very familiar. We also made konyaku, mochi, napazuke and lots of other pickled vegetables. I think we may have been the first to make boxed futomaki and Inari sushi boxed lunches before restaurants began taking over with fresh fish. The work was so difficult no one ever took our place when my brother eventually retired. Now I have to buy frozen age from Japan which isn’t the same. I miss how tender the inari sushi tofu was when it was fresh. I’m going to have to make one more trip to Japan to get the real deal. Thanks John, I enjoyed this episode.

The japanese are so well-behaved, healthy, humble and polite. The world has so much to learn from them. Also the facts that kids learn from a very young age how to take responsibility.

My abuela is now 97 and can still managed to Walk from my uncle's house to ours. She also swip dry leaves every morning. I hope she will live longer. I noticed that she always eats smaller portion of food.
Their food is clean and their water is clean. Everything they eat is very nutritious and cleanses the body.
Gentle and kind people.They truly deserve to live long.Cheers from India 🇮🇳.
In the Philippines we eat the same every morning, we called it Tahu which is added with tapioca and sugarcane molasses. We have Tufo too which is dipped in vinegar onions chilli and garlic
Tahu is Indonesian Tofu
Yess in deed love Filipino food in la Gardena California Town .
Lovely people...
Its stress that kills most thats why we're dropping like flies here..
Cortisol levels sky high 🤣🤣😭
but we live in a society where we need to stress to live...also the lifestyle and food we eat here is killing us!
Girl! Yes!
@@rocc6596 we need stress to live wtf are you talking about?
Exactly. you can eat Right, exercise, have great relationships but if your job is about to kill you or it's very stressful all that good stuff is for not. Stress has been linked to many diseases especially cancer.
I agree. And then on top of that crap diet. And not enough sleep
No . 1 it's GODS PROMISE to Man..to respect and honour our Elders. He promised a long life.. That's what they stands on.. The Rock of All Ages...
They are mostly Buddhist, Shinto or undefined. They dont believe in your god concept. Nice try.
Amen 🙏🏻💕
If they respect you then they deserved to be respected.

I’m going to Japan July 2023 with my granddaughter. Studying and learning as much as I can. We’re both 😊 excited.
Did you have a good time 😊
Would you return to Japan.
because they live with with good environment.
Hi, this video was awesome, thank you! My Japanese grandmother lived to be 90 in Hawaii. Regarding the traditional making of tofu. I was told the secret for gaining the exceptional health benefits of soy is the fermentation of the process for tofu and tempeh....was one of these steps considered the fermenting process?
7:46 It's AMAZING that the Great Grandfather is so calm about having the child be so near that huge, hot pot!
NO FEAR...STAY CALM. Fear holds so many people back from doing anything!
Awesome lifestyle that they live.
🤦🤦
I absolutely love these people, they eat healthy and they are very disciplined at making amazing products, thanks for the wonderful video.
My great grandmother in NC lived 103 years. I just believe long live begins with a clean chemical free diet.
Most of them are farmers like my great grandma they used to just go natural me know antibiotics needed
@@chengbros6101 I think organic food is the best we can get
@@chicxulub2947 ye it is
thank you so much. i love meeting the kind people of japan while getting health tips!
I love this story, about Japanese customs, traditions, ethics and diet "Haku Hatchi" and secrets of Super Centurion Tamikosan who lives and works the farm and does not experience sickness and attributes her longevity to healthy diet , (eating tofu), and
Oyasumi nasi.
Wow She is 106 years old and still give you detail information about her life, that’s amazing. This video inspires me to work more and stay active no matter what.🙏
In feed. I do too
stay active traveling and working on nature fields at 65
My great-grand-uncle Theodore was passed over for conscription in WWII due to “delicate health”; he’s been an invalid since he contracted tuberculosis in 1927, aged sixteen. While all the strong young men of his generation have long since passed away, Uncle Theo is still going strong at 109. He never thought he’d make it past thirty, but since he became a centenarian he began to take his health seriously - he even cut down on the booze, and to just a single packet of cigarettes a day.
Amazing
Eat simple unprocessed fresh organic foods Be active most of the day and get out in daylight as often as possible.
You only need 30 minutes per day. Daylight can cause skin cancer.
NO SUN.....EVERYTHING ELSE IS TRUE
Stupid Steve Jobs did not hear about that.... i wish he could have afforded fresh organic food :-D
or i could mention like 99% of the world that does not consume processed food and yet never makes it to 100...
CHABA+ 1 MILLION WAYS TO DIE..CHOOSE ONE~? YOUR COMMENT IS RETARDED
One reporter asked 104 year old Japanese man "What's the secret of your long life"
He said "I quit smoking 4 years ago. That's the secret"
True story.
JWC i quit making love after 100yrs
hahahahahahaha
LMAO
JWC 😁
Smokers also kill whoever is near them.
Well I wasn’t expecting the Porsche that’s for sure 😄🙈Thanks for this beautiful video ☺️
My great-great grandmother lived until she was 100. I hope my grandma inherits her longevity.
great
I haven't sick in 4 years.. She's right if u work hard Its making ur body stronger. Japanese people are some of the smartest people in the world.
Not at all
I'm Japanese first of all
But my average mark was probably a C- during my Junior High Years and the pressure is the answer why i hate school a lot
Collen YT it’s not because you are dumb/bad at school that every Japanese are... Japan is the third country I think in terms of IQ
@@さん山口-x6z i know but i believed I'm totally bad at school before from exams i fail...
I havent got sick since 2004 (i was 12) and reason is I have a healthy mind,nothing can mess with my mind.
I have enjoyed this episode so very much! Thank you John, really fantastic and touching, quite lovely!!!
CatalinaCNV I like it, too, but it appears a repeat though, taken from his video he already did. I remember it because I watched it already, a few months ago.
J W i think is because there are some things from onlyinjapan go, but is quite different the information, ediiting and interviews...
My Grandma lived to 102. She ate meat, potatoes, vegetables, no junk food, took a shot of sherry every day, and walked every morning and late afternoon.
We eat a lot of tofu and soy Bean cake (Tempe) here in Indonesia.
I wish , I live a long life.. so do you all bro and sis.. 😘
Soy makes some people fart machines
Tempeh is so delicious
Me too
The difference is in japan the soy is better from Indonesia
@@Hengkyganteng84 mostly a soy in Indonesia is come or imported from US
Honor thy father and mother that it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long on the earth
Oh Renee is it you, i looking for you....
this inspires me to work more in my yard and stay active no matter what.

My grandfather lived more than 100years. He lead a very righteous life and he ate very less. He never smoked or drank. He was a good Muslim
