How do Japanese live this long?

  • If it’s being close to nature, then many countries have beautiful isolated area from modern life.
  • If it’s about diet, then what’s so special? African countries have simple and natural diet too, why doesn’t that work?

    I had some relatives that lied about their birth date making them seem older so that they could join the arm forces (strange, if things like that were possible now it would be younger to escape them). Maybe some of these people at 14 suddenly became 18 year Olds to fight in WW2 or the Russian-Japan war before that.

      So the 112 year old is instead a youthful 108?

      We have folks in the US that also lied about their age. They’re almost all dead now. So… Yeah.
