Okinawa is the healthiest place on earth and a place where the average age for women is 86 years old and over 400 people lived to be 100 years old out of a population of about 1.3 million.  Breast caner is rare, heart disease, stroke and cancer are not killing people as frequently.  With a place like Okinawa, we know that there is hope for the world if we only live by example. 

This Island state of Japan, have healthy lifestyles and have simplified their way of living.  Okinawans daily eat a plant-based diet with mostly carbohydrates to out weigh their chances of getting heart disease or cancer.  Carbohydrates have been known to provide long-term health and weight control through research.  Protection against diseases will increase life expectancy and control weight gain or other major health concerns. 

In addition to eating a healthy diet, Okinawans exercise regularly and believe that it is the way of life.  Martial Arts is prevalent when growing up for all families and teaches them respect as well as discipline.  Okinawans are also taught dance when they are young and continue their traditions through generation to generation.

Growing up in a completely different society, we go to the market regularly and do not consume the healthiest of foods.  In Okinawa, the people love to garden and grow the freshest of food as a natural habit.  They walk most of the time to reduce stress in their lives.  Nature is extremely important to them because it is their culture.  Their respect for the land is unlike the respect you may have for your environment.  It is their duty to help the people around them at all cost. 

Your way of living has a huge impact on your health.  Reduce the stress in your life by exercising.  Follow the Okinawa food pyramid for a new way of dieting to provide weight loss and energy.  If you want to be slim, healthy and happy change your way of living and dietary habits immediately.    

The Okinawa food pyramid emphasizes eating healthy fat, calcium, omega-3 and flavonoid rich foods. Whole grains, some carbohydrates and vegetables make up the base of the pyramid.
