@nutrilab17: Why Japan Lives So Long Japan eats white rice every day. Its longest-lived generation grew up with extremely high smoking rates. And yet Japan remains one of the world's longevity leaders. So what are they doing differently?

One of these habits costs absolutely nothing — and you can start it tonight. Would you try the 80% rule? #Japan #Longevity #HealthyAging #Nutrition #Health
