Why do the Japanese live longer?

According to data published by the World Health Organization, Japan is the country with the highest life expectancy in the world: 87 years for women and 80 for men, writes focus.it

A lot, especially when compared to 81 for American women and 76 for their countrymen (for Italy, the data shows 83 years for women and 77 for men).

But the most interesting fact is that, on average, Japanese people live the first 75 years of their lives in perfect health, away from hospitals, doctors and nursing homes. What makes them so durable and resistant?

Lots of fish and vegetables, little meat, very little junk food. Is this the secret of the long life of the Japanese?

Among the main suspects of longevity is diet, according to Naomi Moriyama, author of the book "Japanese women don't age or get fat".

According to her, the secrets of the kitchen are the combination of small portions and the caloric content, such as fish and vegetables, are the secret of longevity.

“The Japanese diet is a bit like the iPhone of nutrition. It concentrates the energy of food in small quantities with a very precise presentation, which pleases the eye and the palate", jokes the writer.

According to nutritionists, the exceptional health of the Japanese should be sought in foods such as tofu, seaweed, squid and octopus, all of which have a low risk of stomach cancer, arteriosclerosis and cholesterol.

But could food be the only explanation? Experts are skeptical, partly because the lifestyle of the average Japanese is quite stressful: long working hours, extreme competition that considers professional failure unacceptable, overcrowded and chaotic cities.

Other studies attribute the longevity of the Japanese to a virtuous circle that occurs in old age: excellent health keeps them away from hospitals and worries and leaves them time to devote to their families and children.
