On May 13 the average age expectancy of the world this year was announced. Japanese men will live up to 80 years old which became 1 year longer than last year and Japanese women 86, and average is 83 years old which is top as well as San Marino. Longest lives of men are 82 years old of San Marino. The average of the world is 66 for men, 71 for women, and 68 for both. The youngest is 47 of the Republic of Malawi in Africa.
Japanese people have kept its top status for 20 years since 1990s. It is often said the reasons of Japanese people's long expectancy depend on its eating habit and progress of medical technology. We have eaten rice, vegetables, and sometimes fishes. There are many healthy foods such as tofu (豆腐), natto (納豆), umeboshi (梅干し) and so on. Green tea is also good.
I have tried genmai (玄米), brown rice, which is said to contain a lot of vitamin B since yesterday.
