The 7 Daily Habits for Longevity

This video breaks down the "quiet habits" that Japanese centenarians use to stay active and healthy past 100.

  • Prioritize "Oncho" (Inner Warmth)

    • Avoid iced drinks with meals. Cold drinks slow digestion and constrict blood vessels.

    • Action: Sip warm tea or broth to keep your internal temperature optimal for enzyme activity.

  • Trigger Autophagy with Timing

    • The body's repair system only turns on when digestion stops.

    • Action: Eat all meals within a 10-12 hour window (e.g., 7 AM to 7 PM) to allow for a 12+ hour overnight fast, which reduces metabolic syndrome risk.

  • The 5-Color Rule

    • Don't count calories; count colors.

    • Action: Include Red (Tomatoes), Orange (Carrots), Green (Leafy greens), White (Onions/Garlic), and Purple (Eggplant/Cabbage) in your daily diet to ensure phytonutrient synergy.

  • Hara Hachi Bu (80% Full)

    • Overeating forces the body to focus on processing food rather than healing.

    • Action: Stop eating when you feel 80% full. Use smaller plates (9-inch vs. 12-inch) to naturally limit portions.

  • Nourish the "Second Brain"

    • Gut health dictates immune resilience and mood.

    • Action: Eat fermented foods daily like Miso, Natto, and Pickled Vegetables to introduce beneficial bacteria.

  • Strategic Meal Sequencing

    • The order in which you eat matters as much as the food itself.

    • Action: Eat Vegetables first, then Protein, and Carbs last. This simple switch can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 40%.

  • The Morning Ritual

    • Action: Drink a cup of warm water immediately upon waking. This flushes the digestive system and signals the body to start the day.
