Japan’s Longevity Secret Might Be This
Back in my remote island village in Japan.
The more time I spend traveling through Japan’s longevity hotspots, the more I notice the same patterns repeating themselves.
Connection.
Routine.
Seasonality.
Calmness.
Community.
Not as abstract ideas, but woven into everyday life.
Perhaps healthy aging is shaped as much by environment and belonging as by biology.
Another Field Note from Japan.
