The Japanese are fit, bright and often live over a hundred years. What is it about them? Is it the raw fish?
It’s diet, metabolism, good genes, social support, absence of stress, country life in nature, slower pace of life, having mastery over one’s thoughts and emotions. They meditate. I’m not suggesting what they m dictate on is good, but the physical benefits are obviously.
Compare the life of the amazing gentleman and his daughter to the Japanese who live in the cities. The 996 work expectation is resulting in “karoshi,” early death from overwork. Since the vast majority of Japanese live, go to school, and work grueling hours, the average lifespan has gone steadily downward. The ѕυιcιdє rate, always a factor in Japan, is rising. ѕυιcιdєs in the past we’re mainly in reparation for bringing shame on others. Now, it is just like the west, out of despair.
