Okinawan Cuisine: From Japan’s Okinawa Island, home to one of the highest concentrations of centenarians, this plant-heavy diet is rich in sweet potatoes, leafy greens, tofu, seaweed, and bitter melon. It features low amounts of meat, dairy, and processed sugar while emphasizing antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory foods. Calorie restriction without malnutrition, known as "hara hachi bu," is a cultural practice. High intake of complex carbohydrates and phytonutrients contributes to low rates of heart disease, cancer, and dementia, making Okinawan eating habits a key factor in exceptional longevity and vitality.
