The Okinawa Way

The bestselling landmark diet book, revealing the secrets of the world's healthiest population.

There is nothing more universal than the desire to slow down the ageing process, to live a long, full life with health, energy, and independence. The Okinawa Way presents the first evidence-based programme, based on a real population, to show you the way.

Written in a friendly, accessible way by the lead scientists of the 25-year Okinawa Centenarian Study, this breakthrough book documents the diet, exercise, and lifestyle practices of the world's healthiest, longest-lived people and reveals how readers can apply these practices to their own lives.

Introduces a delicious diet that emphasises low-Glycemic Index carbohydrates, healthy fats, and proteins, resulting in a calorie-lite diet that staves off hunger and maximises fat loss over weight loss (provides two different eating plans for 4 weeks with more than 80 outstanding recipes).

Teaches you how to get fit using tai chi, reduce stress using meditation, and bring new meaning into your life by developing your inner spirituality through volunteer work and building a solid network of friends and family.

This comprehensive four-week plan is a practical method for slowing and even reversing the symptoms of ageing, that will help you to experience the health and longevity enjoyed by the Okinawans.
