Live for a hundred years. Health and longevity have always been the common goal pursued by mankind. As the country with the highest life expectancy per capita, the Japanese have a unique way of health preservation.
According to statistics, there are more than 50,000 centenarians in Japan. The southern part of the island of Okinawa is the most prominent place in Japan's longevity record. The average life expectancy of local men is about 84 years old, while women reach 90 years old. Compared with countries and regions such as the United States, Okinawa residents have extremely low risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.
Japan and China are adjacent to each other, why is the average life expectancy difference so big? First of all, of course, our country has a large population and there are many influencing factors, but more importantly, the influence of living habits.
5 good habits for Japanese people to live long, ranking third in the sun, most people at the top may ignore
, attach importance to physical examination
Japanese people have a strong sense of physical examination. In Japan, the local government will set up free physical examination stations in various regions almost every six months to one year to encourage citizens to join the ranks of physical examinations.
Regular physical examination and monitoring can help people detect small problems as soon as possible, cure them as soon as possible, inhibit the occurrence of adverse diseases, and kill the disease in the early stages of the onset.
The reason why Japanese people live a healthy and long life is because they pay great attention to their own health and attach great importance to the annual physical examination. People in our country think that physical examinations are a waste of time and money. Therefore, their unwillingness to regularly monitor physical examinations lead to high incidence of diseases, which affects the average life expectancy of Chinese people.

Sun sun is not the time to choose the strongest light. Try to choose between 9:00 and 10:00 in the morning and 4:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. The sunlight is not strong at this time and will not cause serious damage to the skin.
