Summary: HEALTH, VIGOR AND VITALITY AT ITS FINEST!
Comment: The Okinawa Program is based on the author's twenty-five years study into genetics and disease. Eastern cultures are ahead of us when it comes to the science of longevity. Okinawans have fewer health problems, including less heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity and osperporosis. Women also have fewer health issues resulting from their monthly cycles and menopause. The Okinawa Program is aimed at given direction to a healthier, balanced lifestyle, based on long-standing principles presented in this appealing format.
We have been told for quite some time that healthy nutrition(low-fat, low-cal diet)regular exercise, stress reduction and spiritual strength can increase our life span and improve both our mind and body. "The Okinawa Program" is a marvellous book which covers a variety of topics aimed at achieving and maintaining our physiological and psychological needs. Anyone who has studied psychology and Maslow's Heirachy of Five Basic Needs, will find a similarity between Maslow's theory and the concepts outlined in this book. However, this book concentrates primarily on the physiological needs. The book contains some excellent recipes, outlines the benefits of tai-chi and medication in reducing stess, reveals the importance of harmonious relationships and how we can live a longer, healthier life. This is an excellent book with roots based in Eastern traditions - do not miss it.

Summary: The Best and Healthiest Diet Yet!
Comment: This book has so much information and makes so much sense!! I just wished I had found this book first, before buying all those other diet books! I just love what it says on the back cover - "If Americans lived more like the Okinawans, 80 percent of the nation's coronary care units, one-third of the cancer wards, and a lot of the nursing homes would be shut down." Some friends of ours (living in the bay area) had severe health problems - they moved to Okinawa several years ago - I've just recently heard from them - they have the best health, more energy and will probably outlive us all!! Wow, I am so impressed!! Even, Andrew Weil M.D. wrote - "As you will learn in this scientifically factual and highly readable book, the general principles of living the Okinawa way ... are accessible to everyone and quite consistent with the latest medical research on healthy lifestyles and healthy aging." He is author of "Spontaneous Healing and 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. Much Health To All - And Well Being!

Summary: Good Book, but You Need Something Else
Comment: Good book. I recommend it. But you need something more for it to work. Something else to get you on and stay on such a diet. The Okinawans are able to live well on a diet of up to 40% less calories than the average Japanese. And get all the health benefits and great longevity. But they have the support of their culture and community and lifestyle.
There's none of this for most Americans and people in Europe. That's why in addition to this book, I recommend The ImmorTalist Manifesto (available on Amazon). It is a perfect companion to this book. And will give you the powerful philosophy needed to get on and stay on a diet like The Okinawan Diet.
The ImmorTalist Manifesto is by Elixxir, described by Marilyn Much of Investor's Business Daily as "the only anti-aging guru who has actually stayed young." Visit Elixxir's website and see his pic. Seeing is believing!
