One of the most important factors to health he mentioned was STRESS. My mother ate plenty of fruit, vegetables, fish, got plenty of exercise, drank lots of water…but not controlling her stress levels is what caused her now severe anxiety, increased her blood pressure to dangerous levels and is putting immense pressure on her heart. With so many millions of people taking antidepressants nowadays, there still isn't enough medical awareness around controlling stress. And he mentioned the importance of a good childhood, saying his mother was a kind woman. It's clear that this man has also looked after his mental health; he loves to laugh
There are over 94,000 people in optimal health working fully enjoying their health over 100 now in Japan. And yes studies indicate they follow the same lifestyle habits as does Dr. Scharffenberg plus others. Including lots ot time in forest/parks as Japanese culture inc. Shintoism their religion and is a faith based on the love of nature. A positive, optimistic intrinsically happy mindset is key too, it is not about lots of materialism but feeling inner happiness and enthusiasm for being alive, happy and healthy. My friends grandma is from Okinawa is 108, she cycles daily and sells produce from her produce stand, she is very productive, social with everyone and full of happiness. I believe 130 is coming on fast in people who live these kinds of happy, optimistic, purposeful, spiritual, enriching lifestyles. Choose joy, be kind to yourself and all others! Live long with lots of happiness.
