A Shingon Buddhist practitioner meditates under waterfalls.A typical meal in Japan is about half the size of an average Western meal and usually features fish, soy, vegetables, and tea, all linked to good health and long life. An old Japanese saying—Hara hachi bunme—instructs people to stop eating when you are 80 percent full. And a regional proverb counsels: "Eat like a crane," a bird whose pointed beak forces it to pick delicately at its food. There are practical aspects to Japanese longevity as well. In most areas, parking a car is difficult and expensive, so a trip to the store is more likely to take place on a bike or on foot. And Japan's generally small homes mean people go out more for recreation and entertainment. An old Japanese saying—Hara hachi bunme—instructs people to stop eating when you are 80 percent full. These and other common healthy habits, like tai chi, reiki, and yoga, give the Japanese one of the highest life expectancies in the world. A Japanese man can expect to live to age 78 and a woman to nearly 85. The average lifespan is 81.25 years, 16 years longer than the world average, and some 25,000 Japanese citizens are more than 100 years old. Do you eat until you are 80 percent full or until you can't eat anymore? Portion control is a key component in losing weight, so take a leaf out of the Japanese longevity book and Hara hachi bunme.
