Original title: The okinaway of life
A film from Florent Cassiani-Ingoni - บันเทิง
This is the first documentary i have ever watched and i think i have found a new pastime! Thank you so much, it is so well made and really touching.
We are glad you liked this video. Do you already know our playlist with English documentaries? goo.gl/a19JrS
wocomoDOCS I’ll check it out, thanks
You have a lot of catching up to do. Be careful, for they will consume your life if you're not careful lol.
Please watch anything North Korea next
we are True Korea
@Kristopher Taylor lol its a pathetic scam.The website doesn't work. Stop spreading bullshit thanks
Along with healthy diet and physical activity, these people also seem to be content, happy, stress free and lead a minimalist lifestyle.
yes but Japanese people generally do exercise such as stretching, yoga... they almost dont do "cardio" exercise, and this is a factor as well. it's good to be active, but not to make your heart race all the time. People who run for one hour everyday will not live that long, they are eventually damaging their hearts. Moderate workout, not much stress and proper nutrition are the keys.
@@vanessaruiz4705 Agreed. It is 100% a cultural difference, and the nutrition is the key defining piece. In the US, food is mostly processed and lacks any real nutritional value. We have kids dying of cancer, that should be a huge indicator that the diet is trash and people here are addicted to sugar and salt.
@@vanessaruiz4705 I jump rope daily nowadays, do you think that makes me just as unhealthy as the people who run for one hour that you mentioned? I don't jump rope for 1 hour though. I just rope for about 30 - 40 minutes.
The joy in The eyes of the ‘chef’ when she tells about the soup and how she loves To make it for a young mother is hartwarming and to me is the secret of long life; be happy, love and give.
The woman cooking the fish soup look like my grandma but with brown eyes. Has the same expression. I miss my grandma. Thank you for this documentary.
Praying to the ancestors... brought tears
I live in Okinawa for five years before my husband was a Marines I I love it there,i love the food,i love the people,i am from the Caribbean islands.
How did you get a visa to live in japan?
Lucky you :D 😍
This documentary is very inspiring. From now I am going to start practicing the sport, a cornerstone of longevity. As one said I’ m the only artisan of my longevity.
There was a Japanese guy who passed away at 106. When asked what his favourite pastime was he replied "laying in bed." Not only do the Japanese look young for their age (like all Asians) but at 80 their voices are remarkably youthful, robust and vibrant.
@49jubilee Did she eat meat?
@@calotcha108 asians eat meat and vegetables, vegans are so out of touch of reality, they think it is easy because they buy their food in supermarket.
@@carmcam1 True!
Alot of Indians are vegetarians. Also many Buddhists in Asia are vegetarians.
im so impress by these elderly. Ms Kazu Kakazu can even run and play at 100 yrs old. wow
Thanks for the documentary, one of the best I’ve watched. Very interesting.
This is worth reading. Very interesting... Death doesn't kill us, disease does. I will watch and read again. ❤️
Very interesting
I've learned great deal from this documentary. Thank you!
This is one documentary on the Okinawans that wasn't hijacked by vegan propaganda.
Traditional societies are such a knowledge source 🙌
@Hedi Alaya
Veganism comes from the Bible and therefore is the most ancient of all diets. Google
Genesis 1:29
@@the8thchurch461 Yes it is. It was used to reduce the natural sexual drive of monks (by choice) through a reduction in horomone production. It was also used on a massive scale to control population since it produces weakness and docility.
@Hedi Alaya
Explain WHY in America, the land of fried chicken and hamburgers and FAT PEOPLE, explain why, the LONGEST LIVING and HEALTHIEST people in the world are VEGANS.
@Hedi Alaya
I am glad to hear its true that a VEGAN DIET reduces the ANIMAL sexual drive that men have. Sex should be limited to reproduction, not for entertainment.
The reason why there is so much RAPE is because of animal consumption that causes men to behave like the animals they eat.
You are free to have your own morals. You aren't free to push them on others.
Beautifull documentary. Healthy way of living from Okinawan is an example to follow
My father is already 80 years old and super awake in his head (He's German. I am German.). He has achieved a lot in his life and is immensely intelligent. He also has his set routine. He reads the newspaper every day and when he's done with it through the afternoon he reads other magazines. All parts of it except the one about sports. He does no sports and has never done any except walking long distances as a young man and riding his bike. He is able to speak about 17 languages, many of them almost fluently. He likes to drink a bottle of beer every day and when he was younger he was a workaholic. All of his doctors said he actually would have been dead for a long time considering his unhealthy lifestyle and the hard life he's lived.
But he has a wife younger than him (my mom) and me (I am also quite young) also my sisters which occasionally also bustle around him. He has a lot to deal with and has not many body issues except trombosis and his muscles which do not work well anymore.
He writes books because he's bored. He was a journalist once because he was bored :'D. He did a thousand things because he was curious about so much and had an insatiable thirst for learning.
I really think it is a purpose in life, your perspective on it, laughing and loving a lot which keeps you alive. He cannot leave because he has our family. He has to take care of so much with us and cannot grow tired of it. Even though I notice he needs something to do occasionally and is happy when he gets to do it even though he sometimes grumbles at first.
Happiness is just a decision, guys. Wonderful documentary.
My grandfather was born 1945 but looks older than the governor. 😩 he was alcoholic. I saw him twice vomiting all over our house cuz he’s been drinking for days without eating. He’s been doing that almost all his life. I want my grandfather to live long. But even in his age he still grt drunk and not eat sometimes. I’m sad cuz he doesn’t take care of himself. And it makes me feel terrible everytime he’s health decline. Please take care of your health and do not do destructive behavior please consider what your family feels.
Amazing Documentary on the Okinawans. Very educational on Longevity. Clean & well balanced foods, different types of Physical Exercises to build up bones & muscles & healthy positive mindset are the keys to living longer & healthier.
amazing! i personally have learned so much from it! wish i could live there!!!!! being highly of aware of healthy life i will strongly recommend my acquaintances to watch it
Excellent documentary.
Beautiful, hope this will touch people around the world
Beautiful video please make it more these kind of videos.
damn good documentary!
Beautiful and so regal they all are !
They all look amazing but the 80yo Lady looks incredible.My jaw dropped when she said her age.Awesome doc👍👍👍
very nice. thank you.
Fascinating.
Outstanding Introduction - with the planet image, and the zoom in on Okinawa.....wow.
👀 👍Incredible story of resilience, after being bombed with United States atomic bombs 73 yrs ago.
it all comes down to stress-free life and proper nutrition. Nothing else. Most of these centenarians have done only farming related physical activity, not any kind of heavy workout. People who think that, if they run for one hour everyday, they will live longer are wrong. When you put stress on your heart you will eventually damage it.
10/10 Film
May your Life be Better and You will have Good Health and Longevity . God bless You and your Family . ❤️
It is nice and wonderful documentary,your filming may open inner eye of many people watch this, thanks a lot, we expect you to do more in this line to benefit world.
Beautiful scenery beautiful
Lots of fish/meat and veggies with some occasional fruit prayer and meditation.
Ačiū.Thanks.
Okinawa - I'm coming :)
GREAT. Info.
Woo love this life style
Super interesting film.... I hope we all learn from it... otherwise... it all is just a hope... Dan xx
We need a healthy lifestyle, sports and friends in order to postpone and slow aging. However, if we want to be able to live in a truely young and healthy state for as long as we want to we should try our best to support the SENS Foundation and other non profit research organisations with the target to finally prevent and undo age relateted diseases and disablilites.
♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Hi, this is an excellent documentary, there is a way of getting a file with the English subtitles in order to make Spanish traduction? I can make it an share it later
They all look like they've been through hell, but there are some things to notice. No arthritis. Very few have to wear glasses to see. Most are able to still get around, although slower. In the USA, it seems around the age of 60 is when most people start going downhill. Some go downhill sooner, some later. By the age of 80, most are unable to even shuffle around and are usually on a bowl full of medicines every day.
I blame the food. In the USA, it's very difficult to get hold of good healthy food without spending a fortune. You almost have to be rich to eat well. To make matters worse, the average person in the USA has been trained to eat heavily processed junk. In Japan, a lot of people seem to prefer fresh real foods over junk. I know why too, fresh real food tastes a lot better. Over time, a lot of people in the USA have lost touch with cooking. Most women shy away from cooking because of their false belief through programming that cooking by a woman is somehow not worth her time. Men tend to shy away from cooking because they still see it as "too girly" or they just don't know how to cook. Nobody I know personally knows how to cook decently. The last person in my family tha could cook was my grandma. Boy did she know how to cook. My grandpa would tend to a garden while she would tend to the kitchen. They were able to raise nine kids on a relatively healthy diet while being poor. The modern single person has a hard time just feeding themselves on a single income.
More people need to have gardens and cook at home. It's not that difficult. First step is learning how to cook. Focus on ways to prepare fresh produce and seafood/freshwater fish. Once you get the hang of it, you should have a pretty good idea how much produce costs. Then do some math to see if it's cheaper for you to work at your job to pay for the produce, or work outside in a garden for your produce. For the majority of people, it saves to have a kitchen garden, especially if you do home food presurvation.
Mark R, so true
Love you remarks...In Europe it is much better...
I forgot to mention that those who say fish is too expensive, they could go out and catch some fish. Most adult men I know would have no complaints about going fishing every day or so. As a kid, I would go fishing every day after school and the first decent fish I caught was part of my dinner. A person could potentially live on a part-time income if they had their own garden of sufficient size and obtained their meat via hunting/fishing.
art hick, Vegan I presume. There is something that you must learn eventually. Humans are not set up to consume only plant matter. Sure, humans can "survive" on plant matter if they're adults but they have to be very careful and vigilant or they will become deficient in numerous nutrients which will lead to health issues and a shorter lifespan. Children can't be vegan without serious consequences long-term. Humans must have some meat in their diet to remain healthy. It's a simple fact of life. Fish is about the best meat for humans. One fish is usually about one or two meals. Fish are plentiful. Fish are not as advanced as cows or chickens or even pigs. They can be killed quickly and humanely. There is little waste. I understand your point of view, I really do. I don't want any animal to suffer, including humans. This is why I suggest people obtain fish from the wild (responsibly). This way, the fish can live life as a fish until we need them. Cows, chickens, pigs, and other such meat animals are too intelligent to be humanely used for meat. That all being said, veganism is not the answer. It may seem like an answer, but it's not. This is because we are not herbivores. We must have *some* meat in our diet or we will suffer. If you read this comment this far, congratulations. I commend you. If you haven't, your brain may be suffering due to nutrient deficiencies and you need to eat some meat right away (I suggest fish).
Eat purely fruit that consist of nutrition from dirt and sun light
Suit your self in your meat armor 😉😘
super well done!
Does anyone know what the performance at 42:31 is called?
I cant imagine why anyone would dislike this video besides not liking the Japanese, liking the Japanese but feeling like the documentary was inaccurate, or not liking the fact that some people are living past 100.
interesting
Thank you for sharing this documentary here. At 4:14-4:18 the translation includes 1/3 of the point. The speaker says there are mental, social, and spiritual factors. The translation here only includes social.
I think they were trying to summarize some of the translations, in order to squeeze it in to the required word limit..that or they aren't very specific, like most humans are, these days...
Much is often lost in translation. I enjoyed catching the 2/3 of the factors mentioned at 4:14-4:18. I hope it is useful to someone here.
I had to do a double take at 20:19
It looked like a really good anime for a second lmao
traditional okinawan diet consisted of over 80% sweet potato steamed, not sea creatures fried in oil
shut up, vegan idiot.
Sweet Potatoes were a favourite part of their pig's diet. Hahaha. When their pigs and fishing boats were destroyed in WW2, they ate their pig's food to survive. That's where the sweet potato story came from.
Okinawans eat pork, fish and vegetables (bittermelon). Unfortunately, due to the military base and introduction of fast food, the younger generation have high blood pressure.
very good production...albeit seemed silly when the european's were talking. it's a good documentary when people can speak for themselves. thank youl
so sad😟😟😟😢😭😭 my grandfather is 97 to september
I love all the pseudo-intellectuals in the comment section waxing poetic on the secrets of longevity.
When all they say is but what they want to believe.
And yet they talk as if it’s all just facts and common sense.
So common indeed that they’re the small few who even know it.
Excellent information and a pleasure to watch. Thank You.

What is the song I was playing during the opera scene, it is an Okinawan song but what song is it??
20:09 he's adorable lol
Is there a English version to this?
I think the reason we don't take care of yourselves often it's because we think we will die soon. Reason to look after the body is so that if you do? Have a body with less pains at 80+.
We consume double refined oil,packed in very attractive containers.Avoid these danger oil. Use sesame and ground nut oil.
💞
I came here after reading Ikigai.
So Okinawans eat tofu. But a very dense type of tofu.
Sea snake soup with Kunbu seaweed (medicinal in Okinawa).
Can i get this in English?
I will adopt this to my life once I have a house
Do not let excuses stop you. Once you have a house you might come up with another excuses. Start with a small change. Change one thing and the next will be easier. Good luck.
My diet plan is milk water that tea rice eat more veggies then meats and no sodas
When will you have a house?
veena once I graduate from school and into the military I already found a lady who I do have interest in marring her but she lives in a foreign country I don’t mind beginning stationed there and see her she agreed that we would do this as well
Wish you all the luck with your house and your diet.
30:26 look at his hands!!!! can u imagine getting slapped by them
What about the impact Fukushima has had on the Food supply, nobody is talking about it.
SUPER VIVE LE JAPON IL FAUT FAIRE PLEIN DE CHOSE 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂 !!!!!
Some people in this age group read without glasses…what is the secret 🤫
44:16 LMAO holy shit!!! Lol
Osu
If they survived in atomic blast darn! you can live forever
I understand some of what he was saying. 😂😂
Sea snake soup: sea snake with kombu algae (rich in iodine) with pork feet for the collagen and elastin. A balanced diet with meat, fish, bitter vegetables, sea vegetables, and some carbs. Plus exercise every day, walk, move, do karate or whatever you like. There you have it ;)
One my grandfather lived at 100 years, he died in the dream. Other's grandparents at between 70 something to 80.
I don't want to live 100 year's and old.
These people are dead zombies. I want my family to live 100 year's, but not me.
These people are happy.
Today youngest are always complaining, unhappy, unhealthy.
Y'all are getting stuck on the healthy eating whilst totally ignoring their radiant positivity flaming Americans and others in the comments.
The secrets of the Okinawan*
And these people don’t eat modern food
I bet they have more money in this part of Japan so they can eat fresh food and afford it.
Looks like a bad place to be an optician. Very few wearing glasses even in old age.
North Korea is a close 2nd

NONE of such videos ever go into roper details, just some very vague ideas without any important information.
FRANÇAIS CHRÉTIENS ET PLANÈTE ENTIÈRE FAITE COMME LES JAPONAIS DES ACTIVITÉS 🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!
No way to eat snakes. Do you eat dog's, cat's?
Is there toilet time???
Is that what it takes to hit 100? A bit of bitter coy?
Richard Boudville In my country bitter melon (Goya) is a favourite vegetable. It reputedly helps in lowering blood pressure and helps the pancreas produce insulin. Asians eat a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, lots of fish and little meat. Asian women do not suffer from menopausal symptoms and the Japanese do not have a word for menopause. My grandmother is 94 and still lives independently.
It's rubbish! In Myanmar they told me the same. I bought Bitter Coy Tablets and took three bottles. It did not cure my Diabetes Type2. Blood Tests (Pathology) prove it to be Rubbish! If it was true the whole world would be cured of NIDDM (Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Miletus)********* All the same, I like it cooked with dried prawns and some hot chilli Burmese style. It clears up my pimples. I am already 76. I abuse my body too much.
In my view, way too much muck and mystery being spouted. What long lived people have in common is spiritual protection, plenty of sun exposure and plenty of sea salt and iodine in their diet, combined with regular fasting.
Why people are interested in longer lives? Longer life is a pity a pain and disgusting. Get rid of longer lives. The longer life one will spend the more sins he/she will commit. There is no escape from death.
