The secrets to long life, some foods for living longer on this age.

1. The foods 100-year-olds claim are the secret to living to a ripe old age
Kimura was the oldest person on the planet when he died, and the oldest man ever to have lived. He put
his great age down to waking early, reading the newspaper and eating rice porridge and miso soup. You
can check out more of it by watching the video recipes online. Mackerel is an oily fish and packed with
heart-healthy omega-3s and the antioxidant mineral selenium. But as Okawa is not a fussy eater, the
Japanese diet as a whole may have played a part in her long life. The traditional Japanese diet includes
plenty of pulses, vegetables, fresh fish and seaweed
The oldest man ever to have lived died in June at the grand old age of 116. Jiroemon Kimura was born
when Queen Victoria was on the British throne and lived through the reigns of four Japanese emperors.
Genetics helped Kimura live so long (he was from a long living family) but diet may have played a part.
Miso soup is an excellent source of dietary fibre and protein, as well as a good source of minerals. It’s
also high in vitamin K. But miso is rarely eaten by itself.
When Kimura died the title of the world’s oldest living person passed to fellow Japanese national
MisaoOkawa, a 115-year-old Osaka woman who already held the title of the world's oldest living
woman. Okawa says she’s not fussy when it comes to food but has a particular fondness for pickled
mackerel.
