Walking to 110
Wisdom from the World’s Longest-Lived Nation
Japan is the longest-lived nation on earth: more than 95,000 centenarians, the lowest obesity rate in the G7, and a health system the rest of the world comes to study. The reasons are not genetic. They are habits—ordinary, learnable, and portable.
After a decade working in elder care in Tokyo and Kanagawa, Kiyotaka Hasegawa traces each habit to its evidence: the table built on beans, fish, and plants; the six to eight thousand daily steps; the warm bath before bed; the checkup before symptoms appear; the hobby circle that cuts dementia risk by more than half; the moai—a standing circle of friends—that keeps loneliness at bay; care shared between human hands and helpful machines; and the old restraint of knowing what is enough.
