Secrets that support Japanese longevity

Lately, it's been said that Japan is the country with the longest life expectancy.  In reality, according to the WHO's 2014 World Health Statistics, Japanese people have an average lifespan of 84 years, which continues the record of longest life expectancy from last year. (Men have an average of 80 years, 8th in the world, while women are number one at 87 years old.)

 

Also, as of August 2014, the oldest man and woman in the world as recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, sitting at 111 years and 116 respectively, are both Japanese.

 

What are the secrets to these long lives? While there have been many investigations into this question, a clear causal relationship has not been made evident.Here are five points that lead to good health and are thought to be some of the reasons for Japanese people's longevity..

[1] Diet

. Nutritionally balanced Japanese food

 

 

b.  Eating moderately

[2] Hygiene

It's said that Japan is one of the most hygenic societies in the world. Living hygienically protects us from infectious diseases and all sorts of germs. Here are 4 customs and examples of how Japanese people indulge in high levels of personal hygiene. 

a.  Bathing habits

Thermo therapeutic effects

It works to warm up your body. If you submerge yourself in a bathtub, you raise your body temperature and your capillaries stretch out and your circulation improves. Because of that, your metabolism rises, your fatigue disappears, and your muscle stiffness and soreness is softened.

Water pressure effects

This is the water pressure on your body. This pressure can help reduce your waist by 3-5 centimeterrs, and it's not just the way you look but it also influences your subcutaneous blood vessels. Because of this, it pushes back the blood concentrated in your limbs and invigorates your circulation while improving the flow of your blood and lymph fluid.

Buoyancy effects

Just like the way you float in pools or in the ocean, bouyancy comes into play in the bath as well. Your body weight becomes 1/10th of what it normally is. Thanks to that, your muscles and joints that usually support your body weight can rest, and the tension in your whole body comes apart.

 

b. Toilets equipped with bidets

Japanese toilet seats equipped with bidets have recently been very popular overseas, and it can be said that it's one of the ways Japanese people have such a high level of hygiene.

 

c. No shoes in the house

Historically, Japanese people have not worn shoes inside the house. Thanks to this, since people will not be tracking mud or dirt into the house, it's an easy way to keep things hygienic.

 

d. Even public services have a high level of hygiene 

Lately, Japanese public libraries have been introducing "book showers" in which books that were lent out and have been returned are disinfected and sterilized. This "book shower" uses UV rays to disinfect the book, then blows wind at it to dislodge any trash that might be stuck inside of it so that the person who borrows it next can have it in the cleanest condition possible.

Public transportation also have high cleanliness standards. For example, on the shinkansen, the special brush they use has a wetness sensor and if a seat is damp it will ring an alarm. 

 

[3] High levels of societal engagement

It's said that having a concrete and emotional connection to one's society even after one reaches an advanced age is one of the factors in a long life.Here are two points about Japanese people's high levels of societal engagement.

a.  Employed people over 65 years old  

 

b. Enjoyment of everyday lives

Many of Japan's elderly stay proactive in their community through activities like neighborhood associations or gateball games. 

[4] High rates of health consciousness 

Because of the high rates of health consciousness, exercise is tied into one's daily lifestyle.

a. Dry towel rubdown

Rubbing one's skin with a dry towel has been a health method in Japan since time immemorial.

Yuichiro Miura, the adventurer who at age 80 became the oldest person to climb Mt. Everest, woke up early during their hikes to give himself a dry rubdown in order to warm up his body.

 

b. Radio exercises

Radio exercises are calisthenics that are done along with music playing from a radio. Radio exercises have a long history in Japan, and the majority of Japanese children go to school every morning in the summer to do them.

c. Reduction in salt intake

 

[5] High levels of health consciousness

a. Physicals and medical checkups are done at schools and workplaces

 

b. Universal healthcare 

 

This is a photo of a Japanese employee's health insurance card.

Due to Japan's universal healthcare, everyone is responsible for one portion of the medical bill so that they can get treatment. Once you present this card at the clinic, the patient pays 30% of the bill, and the other 70% is taken care of by the country.

[www.keralites.net] Foods for Prostate Health

prostate
brazil nuts
These large and delicious nuts are good for prostate health because they are rich in a nutrient called selenium, which has been associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Just one ounce of Brazil nuts contains almost ten times the recommended daily value for selenium in your diet, which bodes very well for the state of your prostate. The nuts are also a good source of zinc, which is another mineral essential to prostate health, and amino acids which are a great source of protein.

2. Broccoli
Broccoli is a member of the cruciferous family, a family of vegetables shared with cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale. Cruciferous vegetables contain high amounts of sulforaphane and indoles, which are plant-based nutrients that have remarkable anti-cancer and cleansing properties.. In scientific trials, it was found that eating broccoli more than once a week could reduce the probability of contracting the later (and more serious) stages of prostate cancer by nearly 45 percent. The healthiest way to consume broccoli (to maximize its nutrient content) is to steam or sauté the broccoli for about 5 minutes (and no more).

3. Cayenne
cayenne
pomegranate

Not only does this succulent red fruit taste wonderful, it is also noted for being high in antioxidants and a nutrient called ellagitannin, which especially promotes prostate health. Some studies show that the pomegranate can even slow the reproduction of prostate cancer cells and can even kill them off. Pomegranates are also noted for their ability to interfere with the growth of new blood vessels, which usually nourishes prostate tumors. If you don't have the actual fruit available (it is seasonal at the end of summer and into the early fall), pomegranate juice is an accessible and tasty way to get all of the fruit's nutrients.

7. Pumpkin Seeds
Yes, as evident from this list, stocking up on seeds and nuts is never a bad thing, especially when it comes to delicious pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds have been proven to benefit men with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), which is a condition affecting men aged 50 and older, where the prostate gland swells and enlarges. This swelling and enlargement is caused by the overstimulation of prostate cells by testosterone and other hormones, and the oil of pumpkin seeds has been shown to prevent the effect of these hormones on prostate health.

salmon
8. Salmon
Another superfood noted for its healthy qualities, salmon also supports prostate health because it is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. New research has found that the omega-3 in fish (not only salmon, although it is the most popular fish) can slow the development of prostate tumors in men who have the disease, and can prevent the disease from developing at all for those who don't. Indeed, a study published in "Clinical Cancer Research" reported that eating fish or salmon once a week could reduce a man's chance of developing prostate cancer, even if he is genetically predisposed to contract the disease.
