• (BeWellBuzz) Every year, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) spends millions
of dollars on research to explore different
ways of increasing life span. In their
quest for youth and longevity, researchers
are constantly digging into anti-aging drugs,
nutritional supplements and diet plans.
Why do Japanese people have
the longest Life span?
• It has been found that people in islands of
Okinawa in Southern Japan have five times
longer life expectancy than those living in the
United States and other industrial regions.
• “According to an Okinawa
Centenarian Study, there are
about 50 centenarians per
100,000 people in Okinawa,
Japan versus only 10 in
100,000 in the U.S. and most
other developed countries.”
• So, how do they do it? Bradley
Willcox, M.D., co-principal
investigator of the study
confirmed that the reason for
Okinawans’ longevity is high
amounts of sweet potatoes, bitter
melon (a tropical fruit that they
use in stir-fries) and sanpin tea
(a blend of green tea that they
drink regularly). Since these
foods are rich in anti-oxidants,
they help in protecting our body
from cellular wear and tear
leading to longer life span. Bradley Willcox, M.D.,
Japanese people also consume
large amount of anti-aging foods
in their regular diet.

confirmed that there are
some naturally available
foods that contain anti-
aging properties. These
