		In addition to their diet, older Okinawans (young people were not studied) lead physically active lives.

		Having traveled to Okinawa some time ago, I was fascinated with their culture and the attribute of their culture to live extremely long, healthy lives.
		It might be noted that the Okinawans' historically moderate diet is tied basically to the relatively low per-capita income of the prefecture, and that the other areas in Japan with similar or greater longevity have similarly low income rates.
		It is not so much that they have a low fat diet, or that any one aspect of their diet is vitally important or some sort of secret gift or "program," except this: that they eat a great variety of mostly whole, home prepared food always in moderation.
