8. A Long and Healthy Life 1 Do you want to live to be 100 years old? You can learn from the Japanese. There are more than 20,000 men and women over 100 years old in Japan. You may ask, “Why do they live so long? They have a lot of stress.” Yes, Japanese people often get stressed out. They usually work long hours and take crowded trains. Just like in other countries, many people have bad habits ----- they drink alcohol and they smoke. Many people don’t get a lot of sleep, and they rarely take vacations. So, what is their secret? 2 It’s the diet. The Japanese diet is very healthy. People drink green tea two or three times a day. They usually eat low-fat meals. They eat fish two or three times a week and occasionally eat meat. 3 Exercise is very important, too. Japanese people usually walk a lot. Dr. Tanaka is 92 and very active. He gets exercise every day. He always takes the stairs, not the elevator. Dr. Tanaka also spends time with other people. He takes night classes. He goes to the movies with his grandchildren, and he often goes on picnics with children. “Lonely people die young,” Dr. Tanaka says. “Eat well, get a lot of exercise, and spend time with family and friends.”
