2. Remembering Mom and Our Elderly Loved Ones November 01, 2009 I always say, “You get old when you stop going for it no matter what your age.” I have sometimes seen 25 year olds have less energy and drive than some 80 year olds.

My mother, who is 88, is recuperating after taking a fall in her living room just a few days ago. Unfortunately, she fell on her good knee. My mother has always taken great pride in a clean and organized house. I guess it’s her German upbringing. Well,... (read more) Author: Monika Klein

16. Horseshoe Tekko March 28, 2008 The Tekko is a weapon that originated in Okinawa, Japan. Because weapons were banned in Okinawa, the Okinawans sought to put otherwise agricultural implements to martial use. The "Tekko" arose as a dual use for horseriding gear, although the exact part of that gear remains in some dispute.Differing schools advocate for the stirrup or horsehoe. The stirrup version consists of a semicircle, with two ends connected by a bar.Some think of this as solely a fist loaded weapon: primarily a form of knuckleduster (brass knuckles). However, stirrup of Okinawan lineage does not have dividers to sepa... (read more) Author: Kim DSouza

19. Less is More for the Okinawans February 28, 2008 For the past six years I have explored parts of the world where people live the longest healthiest lives—regions called Blue Zones—and tried to decipher their secrets. When visiting the Okinawa region, it was obvious that the community’s secret was diet. For the Okinawans, the diet secret is less is more and more is less. A typical Okinawan meal consists of large amounts of vegetables and a piece of protein. Rather then the American version of protein, which is typically an oversized hamburger, the Okinawan’s rely heavily on tofu to provide the proper nutrients. The tofu prepared in this ...

20. An Okinawan Centenarian February 28, 2008 For the past six years I have explored parts of the world where people live the longest healthiest lives—regions called Blue Zones—and tried to decipher their secrets.

Ushi is a 99 year-old woman who starts every day with a bowl of miso-vegetable soup followed with three hours of work in her garden, a nap, time with friends, then puts herself to bed with a glass of sake. Assuming that her longevity was connected to her diet, I was surprised to hear that my team leader, Sayoko, had a different conclusion.Sayoko, a f... (read more) Author: Dan Buettner

22. It's Never Too Early to Start Good Life Habits February 28, 2008 It's usually not the young among us who are focused on improving their lifestyle and achieving longevity. Why? Simple: longevity's just not on your mind at a young age.
