Live Long - Eat Like the Okinawans

The residents of the Japanese Island of Okinawa are known for living very long and active lives. The reason for this being the Okinawa diet, which is balanced but low in calories. A recent study was completed about the 'Okinawa diet' and reveals a link between a heavily reduced calorie diet and longevity. In animal tests, researchers reduced calorie intake by 40% and the animals placed on such regimens lived up to 40 percent longer than normal.
