Who Are The Healthiest People on Earth?



With our upcoming Health & Wellness series starting on March 21, I began to wonder who the healthiest people on earth were. If you guessed it was the Japanese, then you guessed correctly.
If you live in Japan the quality of health there is ranked number one in the world according to a decades-long study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Unfortunately, the United States is not ranked as high-we score high on the money spent on health care though, close to billions more than any other country.

So, what is Japan’s secret?

  •  They follow strict dietary practices.
  • They have strong family and social support in their lives.
  • They stay close to their culture and values  
  • They routinely devote part of their day to prayer and spiritual study. They strive to be kind and forgiving, calm and patient.

Therefore, it's not just one secret that the Japanese follow.  It’s more of a healthy state of mind.  The secret to vitality and longevity is incorporating these habits into your daily life.
Join us this spring for several lectures at the FAU Lifelong Learning Society that will put you on the path to being one of the healthiest people on earth.
