He ate a reduced calorie diet from fruit and vegetables that he grew himself. He consumed no trans-fats or hormone heavy beef, very little sugar and no alcohol. He also stayed physically and mentally fit by working hard on his dairy farm, and reading and writing poetic Haikus.<BR/><BR/>This does not at all mirror the typical overly-indulged American lifestyle. <BR/><BR/>Until the American medical model starts to focus on preventing degenerative diseases, which would allow us to live longer, doing what we like to do, why would any of us aspire to live to 112-tied to a chair in a nursing home, which is how most Americans can expect to live the final years of their lives if we don't start making better lifestyle choices and putting more emphasis on preventing chronic degenerative disease.Ellen Troyer, MT MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352758665225233448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8265610523848789127.post-12854464438527291842007-09-24T12:51:00.000-06:002007-09-24T12:51:00.000-06:00But are the people in Japan happy.

Better health by avoidance of tobacco and drugs - and moderation in all things.

That honor goes to a woman, who is also Japanese. Yone Minagawa, 114, was born Jan. 4, 1893.<BR/><BR/>That should tell you something... Women are stronger, healthier, more intelligent, better looking, and better representatives of the human race.<BR/>(Just kidding).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
