The Secret to Japan's 100,000 100 Year Olds

Japan has set a new record of nearly 100,000 people who are 100 years old.

The secret to their success seems to include
  • diet (less sugar, salt and calories than those of us in the West),
  • exercise (among other things, a national radio program guiding the elderly through 3-minutes of daily exercise has a wide audience), and
  • fraud (family not reporting on the death of a deceased relative in order to continue collecting pension money).
