hey I’m back and today we’re gonna

answer the question what is the

healthiest country in the world can you

guess Japan okay let’s talk about it so

Japan is one of the healthiest countries

for several reasons number one it has

the most super centenarians per capita

in the world in other words a super

centenarian is someone who lives to be

at least a hundred and ten years old and

then in the South Okinawa they have the

highest number of centenarians in the

world and those are people who live to

be a hundred

now Sardinia is up there as well

probably is tied with Okinawa as far as

the highest number of centenarians but

overall in Japan they have the lowest

rate of age-related diseases diabetes

cancer arthritis Alzheimer’s also the

obesity rates are one of the lowest in

the world why well we’re gonna get into

their diet but I do want to mention in

2009 the Japanese Ministry of Health

Labor and Welfare came up with something

called the Metabo law and it’s

interesting to call it the Metabo law

and not the obesity law because anyone

who is actually between 47 years old and

74 years old is required to be measured

okay each year and for men it cannot

exceed 30 3.5 inches and for women it

cannot exceed 35 point 4 inches now I’m

not sure their penalties whether it’s

through the insurance company that they

have or the government but I think it’s

very motivating to have this as a target

because this is the indicator of insulin

resistance and the amount of insulin in

the body and if they can keep their

insulin low they’re going to avoid

diabetes certain risk factors of getting

cancer arthritis for sure and

Alzheimer’s which by the way is like

type 3 diabetes I also know that if you

exceed this you also have to have

certain classes to teach you what to eat

I don’t know anything

about what’s in those classes but I

think it would be great to have this in

the US and of course to teach them the

correct information on this would be

essential because the problem is the

government is usually stuck with the

bill paying for all the complications of

these things right there so they’re

being very proactive so now let’s talk

about what these Japanese actually eat a

lot of fish okay

raw fish and sushi with seaweed which

has all the trace minerals the fish and

the shellfish is loaded with DHA

minerals vitamins its nutrient dense and

high-quality protein the vegetables

especially sea vegetables they do a lot

of pickled vegetables and fermented

vegetables for the gut yes they do rice

and noodles but they also do green tea

some fruit and nado which is a fermented

soybean product which actually even

though it doesn’t taste very good it’s

loaded with vitamin k2 which is

essential and removing soft tissue

calcium from the arteries and the joints

this is also really good to support the

mitochondria and they also do a lot of

walking now if you haven’t seen my

recent video on Sardinia I put a link

down below but there is some common

denominators between that part of Italy

and Japan they do consume fish and

shellfish and vegetables of course in

Italy they do more pasta than rice or

noodles and they definitely walk a lot

and also I think the thing that is the

icing on the cake no pun intended

would be this law right here which

forces people to focus on the correct

thing which is their waist size which is

a direct reflection of the amount of

insulin if you’re new to my channel I

want you to learn about insulin

resistance watch the link below and
