Is this the secret to living past 100? #centenarian #healthtips #japanlife

Japan has passed a remarkable milestone: more than 100,000 centenarians.

I'm walking through Kyoto, continuing my autumn longevity expedition across Japan's Top 10 and Bottom 3 prefectures, using my True Longevity Index™ as a compass.

Along the way, I've discovered some fascinating local clues to longevity.

Moai in Okinawa. Mujin, or what I call mountain moai, in Yamanashi. Mineral-rich water in Tokunoshima. The gut microbiome in Kyotango.

But one thing keeps turning up across prefectural borders: Radio Taiso.

Every morning, people gather in parks and public spaces to stretch, move and connect. No gym membership required.

And in this keyboard age, getting those arms above your head once a day isn't a bad idea either!

Another glimpse of the Art of Community in Japan.

It's Never Too Late!
