    Hello, I'm the co-author of IKIGAI, I'm a subscriber of your channel since a year ago! Thank you so much for featuring my book!

      I haven't read IKIGAI yet, but I've read your other book SHINRIN YOKU and I think it's brilliant. Congratulations to you, Mr Garcia and the co-author Francesc Miralles.

      Thank you so much! I put a lot of effort in researching the science of SHINRIN YOKU. I'm glad you liked it :)@@crysdili

    Absolutely loved the interview! Mr. Taira is so humble and it's very interesting to see their way of life. I wrote the secrets down so I could remember them better:
    1. Low sodium intake
    2. DNA
    3. Consume a lot of shikuwasa
    4. Treasures of the sea
    5. Eating quality pork
    6. Living stress free
    7. The sea breeze
    8. Active lifestyle
    9. Having an ikigai
    10. Equal relationship
    11. Improving dietary habits
    I think the combination of having fresh air from the sea, fresh local products and a sense of purpose or loving life definitely are the tree main components to a long life. I wish you all a nice day and hopefully we get another video soon ^^

    I'm Brazilian, but my father's family comes from Okinawa. My grandpa just turned 86, he loves living close to the sea and Brazil's climate is mostly hot throughout the year.
    His diet is very different from Brazilian people, even though he has been here for so many years. But I never paid to much attention to that, now coming to think of it, I'll try my best to keep similar habits 😅

    ビタミン・ミネラル・カルシウムなどの摂取量が豊富で、温暖で、体をよく動かすのが、長生きの素ですが、何より、皆さん、明るく朗らかなのが、一番の秘訣なんでしょうね〜🤗

    Thanks Aki,im really enjoying an insight into Japan as well from your vids! I want to visit. My Nan is 96 ,lives independently, shes English. Im not sure what contribute to her longevity ,she had breast cancer in her seventies,and had alot of stress in her life including 2 children dying. She eats quite healthy ,cooks for herself ,little meat,more fish. And she had alot of honey. I think her positive attitude helps,she never complains. About six years ago she got a little cat,this definitely gives her a purpose ..they love each other dearly,and it's a good feeling to care for 'something 'even if its just plants.

    My earliest known ancestor is a Japanese Lady in the year 800. Thr women in my family live into their late 90s. I hope that I can also live to a good age and be healthy and vibrant like him.

  • @Laura-je2uw
    @Laura-je2uw Před 9 měsíci +3

    The salt argument is interesting because in general japanese people are known to consume a lot of salt (through soy sauce, seaweed, pickled vegetables etc).

    Studies show that people are happier living near the ocean. When i moved 1500 mi inland I didn't realize how much I'd miss it. 50 years later I'm moving back near the ocean. It's never too late to change one's life.

    Heyyy thanks for promoting this! I wish I could have met you. I am one of the few Okinawa longevity experts here in Okinawa, Japan and my whole life and company is about Okinawan longevity, teaching it, and promoting it! There are so many reasons for longevity and they all work in harmony. BUT actually, there are 2 TOP reasons for Okinawan longevity that no one realizes (hint: it is not food) 😁

    Wiele z tych sekretów jest również znane w Polsce. Na całym Świecie są ludzie , którzy potrafią dobrze i mądrze żyć, nie spieszyć się , cieszyć się tym co mają i tym co ich otacza. To jest dobra recepta dla wszystkich . Dziękuje Samuraju , cieszę się że jesteś już w dobrej formie po wycieczce w Europie. Muszę kupić tę książkę. :)

  • @ninjal7588
    @ninjal7588 Před 9 měsíci +2

    It is likely that salt intake does not actually matter that much, as long as it is not totally unreasonable, and the diet itself is healthy. You naturally crave for more or less salt. Western diets tends to have more salt in processed meat, chips and such, which are not healthy, then it has been concluded that salt is the unhealthy thing. Processed unhealthy food also tends to have less spices and herbs, then you need to add more salt in order to make it taste good.

  • @ladybirb
    @ladybirb Před 9 měsíci +3

    Low sodium 😭 I crave salt so much! But I think that might have something to do with my low blood pressure, and side-effects from my epilepsy medications.

    This was fun to watch. The women's reactions were fun too. I think having no stress and being active are huge factors in long life!!! Japanese food = good. American food = bad. I do have a lot of my relatives who lived to 90!! I am hoping the same for myself.

    Thank you Aki, I enjoyed this interesting video. I have been interested in longevity for a long time and incorporating different aspects into my own life, bit by bit. Please could you make a video about Sumi-e art? I find it very beautiful, so much so , collecting books about it has become very addictive. Eye candy!

    Hi, you are a huge inspiration! Keep it up! Another topic, I am thinking about buying a Gokumin Mattress. Do you still have yours? Are you happy with it and would you recommend it? Are the cover removable so I can wash it in a washingmachine? I love the simplicity with it :) But its a long way to ship from Japan to Sweden, so I want to be absolutely sure about it :) Take care!

    first he says low salt, than he says they used salt to preserve the meat. it's contradictory information.

    • @ninjal7588
      @ninjal7588 Před 9 měsíci

      At the end 9:37 he also says now they believe more salt is better due to Nagano taking the first spot. It is likely that salt intake does not actually matter that much, as long as it is reasonable, and the diet itself is healthy. Western diets tends to have more salt in processed meat, chips and such, which are not healthy, then it has been concluded that salt is the unhealthy thing. Processed unhealthy food also tends to have less spices and herbs, then you need to add more salt in order to make it taste good.
