| Annotation | Report from Okinawa, Japan, which has a healthier older population compared to other Western countries such as the United States. Okinawa has been branded a `Blue Zone', a concept that refers to a demographic and/or geographic area with high population longevity. Blue Zone diets tend to be rich in green leafy and yellow root vegetables, legumes, fruit and whole grains but low in saturated fat and sugar. (JL). |
