How do Japanese live this long?

  • If it’s being close to nature, then many countries have beautiful isolated area from modern life.
  • If it’s about diet, then what’s so special? African countries have simple and natural diet too, why doesn’t that work?

    Japan has a pretty high suicide rate and they dedicate most of their life’s to work as far as I know. Doesn’t sound too happy to me.

      I wonder more the average life expectancy or even the percentiles. What the max age does 90 percent of the population reach.

      It’s possible there’s a regional or generational gap there. If you’re pushing 110 you probably haven’t worked in 40 years. You could even argue that the ones literally working themselves to death are the very ones paying for the older generation’s happy carefree lifestyle.
