Book excerpt: Do you want to live a longer life? Without cashing out money on high-end expensive treatments? Newly formulated products? Or regular therapeutic trips to different commercial spaces? If you think it seems impossible, well, think again as you are about to know the secret to a longer life! According to the United Nations, the global average life expectancy rose at its peak of 72.6 years old in 2019. 1 This is by far the longest life expectancy that we have achieved after 1950. In line with this, some areas in the world still live a longer life expectancy than most places. These are called blue zones. 2 These blue zones are areas that hold different lifestyles and cultures that are unique only to them, and their practices are said to be connected to having a higher life expectancy. One of these blue zones is Okinawa in Japan, a region that houses the longest-lived women in the world. In fact, for every 100,000 inhabitants in this region, there are 68 centenarians or people who live at least 100 years old. Also, Japan is the second country that has the highest life expectancy in the world with 84.67 years old in 2019. Okinawans credit their longevity to a mantra from Confucius that is recited before meals "Hara hachi bu." This mantra always prompts them to stop eating when they are almost full, thus, preventing themselves from overeating. Also, they are family-oriented people and implied that living longer would make them feel more accomplished in life. So, what if I told you that one of the secrets of the longevity of the Okinawans is their diet? And that you will find out about their secret diet in this guide? In the following guide, you will discover... ● What the “Okinawa diet” is ● How to eat like an Okinawan ● How to live like the Okinawans ● How to plan meals as if you are Okinawan ● How to maintain the Okinawan lifestyle

Download or read book Eating to Extinction written by Dan Saladino and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice What Saladino finds in his adventures are people with soul-deep relationships to their food. This is not the decadence or the preciousness we might associate with a word like “foodie,” but a form of reverence . . . Enchanting." —Molly Young, The New York Times Dan Saladino's Eating to Extinction is the prominent broadcaster’s pathbreaking tour of the world’s vanishing foods and his argument for why they matter now more than ever Over the past several decades, globalization has homogenized what we eat, and done so ruthlessly. The numbers are stark: Of the roughly six thousand different plants once consumed by human beings, only nine remain major staples today. Just three of these—rice, wheat, and corn—now provide fifty percent of all our calories. Dig deeper and the trends are more worrisome still: The source of much of the world’s food—seeds—is mostly in the control of just four corporations. Ninety-five percent of milk consumed in the United States comes from a single breed of cow. Half of all the world’s cheese is made with bacteria or enzymes made by one company. And one in four beers drunk around the world is the product of one brewer. If it strikes you that everything is starting to taste the same wherever you are in the world, you’re by no means alone. This matters: when we lose diversity and foods become endangered, we not only risk the loss of traditional foodways, but also of flavors, smells, and textures that may never be experienced again. And the consolidation of our food has other steep costs, including a lack of resilience in the face of climate change, pests, and parasites. Our food monoculture is a threat to our health—and to the planet. In Eating to Extinction, the distinguished BBC food journalist Dan Saladino travels the world to experience and document our most at-risk foods before it’s too late. He tells the fascinating stories of the people who continue to cultivate, forage, hunt, cook, and consume what the rest of us have forgotten or didn’t even know existed. Take honey—not the familiar product sold in plastic bottles, but the wild honey gathered by the Hadza people of East Africa, whose diet consists of eight hundred different plants and animals and who communicate with birds in order to locate bees’ nests. Or consider murnong—once the staple food of Aboriginal Australians, this small root vegetable with the sweet taste of coconut is undergoing a revival after nearly being driven to extinction. And in Sierra Leone, there are just a few surviving stenophylla trees, a plant species now considered crucial to the future of coffee. From an Indigenous American chef refining precolonial recipes to farmers tending Geechee red peas on the Sea Islands of Georgia, the individuals profiled in Eating to Extinction are essential guides to treasured foods that have endured in the face of rampant sameness and standardization. They also provide a roadmap to a food system that is healthier, more robust, and, above all, richer in flavor and meaning.
