Okinawan people live in a chain of islands stretching from japan to taiwan.The 1.3 million inhabitants have the longest life expectancy on the planet,with four times as many centenarians as western countries,and their lifestyle holds many clues to long life.People in Okinawan still show signs of age of course,but they are better at curtailing the classic life threatening symptoms of old age.So,for instance,heart problems and strokes are virtually unknown, and hormone linked cancers are much rarer than in the west.
