Synopsis
"If Americans lived more like the
Okinawans, 80 percent of the nation's coronary care units, one-third of the
cancer wards, and a lot of the nursing homes would be shut down." —From The
Okinawa Program
The Okinawa Program, authored by a team of internationally renowned
experts, is based on the landmark scientifically documented twenty-five-year
Okinawa Centenarian Study, a Japanese Ministry of health–sponsored study. This
breakthrough book reveals the diet, exercise, and lifestyle practices that make
the Okinawans the healthiest and longest-lived population in the world. With an
easy-to-follow Four-Week Turnaround Plan, nearly one hundred fast, delicious
recipes, and a moderate exercise plan, The Okinawa Program can
dramatically increase your chances for a long, healthy life
