Healthy, Happy and Long Life in studies

 

·        
Studies
have been made involving thousands of people from

·        
Okinawa, Hawaii, Sardinia, Glasgow
and California.

·        
There
are some answers to the issues of healthy,
long life

·        
In
Okinawa, many people live to one hundred and even more

·        
They
eat a “Rainbow Diet” of orange, yellow and green vegetables

·        
And
fruit: carrots, peppers…with lots of Tofu and Soy

·        
The
elderly women are used to eat about 1,200 calories per day

·        
The
attitude to meals is: do not stand from
the table with a full belly

·        
About
80% full should do it

·        
Diet is definitely a reason for the
longevity, as a
study of people

·        
In
Hawaii, descending from Okinawa has proved:

·        
The
families of Okinawan descent have abandoned the Japanese diet

·        
And
have adopted a eating culture with lots of calories, resulting in

·        
Weight
gain and finally much shorter life expectancy

·        
Genes
have an important role to play, tested in Sardinia and Glasgow

·        
In
California, the impact of spirituality and religion has been studied-

·        
People who are religious or, if not
religious use spirituality to find a

·        
Higher meaning- live healthier,
happier and longer life

·        
As
tested and proved by Sonya Lyubomirsky-

church, temple or mosque or

reading and pondering spiritually
themed books>>
