“If Americans lived more like the Okinawans, 80 percent of the nation’s coronary care units, one-third of the cancer wards, and a lot of the nursing homes would be shut down.” —From The Okinawa Program

Review: The Okinawa Program: How the World's Longest-Lived People Achieve Everlasting Health--And How You Can Too

User Review  - Frank - Goodreads

Based on the lifestyle of the elder generation of Okinawans, this book is one of the results of a twenty-five year study. Highly readable, informative, and very much not a fad diet, based around lifestyle change over dropping the current bogeyman from your diet. Highly recommended. Read full review
