JAPAN’S HIGH LIFE EXPECTANCY LINKED TO DIET, STUDY FINDS
The study assessed the diets of tens of thousands of men and women. The high life expectancy enjoyed in Japan is largely down to the nation’s healthy diet, according to a new study. The population of the island nation, which has one of the lowest mortality rates in the world, eat diets high in certain carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits as well as fish and meat. Such foods make for a diet low in saturated fats, processed foods and high in carbohydrates gained from both rice and vegetables.
