Japan is well recognized for the longevity of its citizens, which many believe can be attributed to Japanese diet habits and lifestyle.

Ryoto Sakaba and Professor Hiroyasu Iso of the Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University, published a 20-year study in May that provided convincing evidence that the relationship between good lifestyle habits and longevity is directly proportional, indicating that even after the age of 80, both men and women can extend their lives by improving various lifestyle factors.
