When I first met Makato Okushima, I would have said she was seventy-five, perhaps eighty years old. In fact, she is one hundred years old, (1) ……… . She is just one of more than 400 people there who are at least one hundred years old; Okinawa has the highest and healthiest concentration of centenarians in the world. I had come to find out the secret of these healthy islanders’ longevity and a stroll down to the waterfront with Makato provided me with my first clue. After passing elderly fisherman unloading the day’s catch, Makato joined a queue at a market stall to buy fish for the evening meal. It seems the people of Okinawa eat plenty of fish, (2) ……… . After we arrived at Makato’s house, I watched with fascination as Makato prepared the food with her daughter, (3) ……… . As well as the fish, there were portions of sweet potato, spring onion and other fresh, locally grown vegetables. There was also plenty of brown rice and tofu – a soya product high in protein and vitamins. On other days there might be a meat dish too, but the fat would be continuously poured off the meat as it cooked. After the meal we drank green tea, which is said to have many health benefits and helps burn calories, as well. There were no sugary drinks and only a little locally produced rice wine, (4) ………. 28 I asked Makato what she thought the secret to her good health was. ‘Well, as you see, we have a healthy, low-fat diet and we eat slowly to savour our food,’ she told me, ‘but it’s also important to stay active. That way you don’t get fat.’ I suddenly realised I hadn’t seen a single overweight person since my arrival in Okinawa. On my last day, Makato took me to the outskirts of the village. There, facing the sea, was an old stone marker. I asked what the Japanese characters engraved on it meant. My translator told me: ‘At 70 you are still a child; at 80 a young man or woman. And if at 90 someone from heaven invites you over, tell him to go away and come back when you are 100.’ Before flying home, I met Dr Davis Billings, (5) ……… . He told me that life threatening complaints such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease are rare in Okinawa. It seems that Okinawans not only live longer, they live better.
