Evidence reveals many individuals reach the one-hundred year mark and continue leading active lives. According to recent studies, the elderly here appear to have far lower rates of dementia than their U.S. counterparts and suffer less than half the risk for hip fractures. Scientists say the key to such longevity is eating remarkably healthy food. The traditional Okinawan diet is heavy on grains and vegetables, and light on meat, eggs, and dairy. Okinawans are especially enthusiastic eaters of tofu, which works wonders because soybeans are loaded with flavonoids -- nutrients known to fight breast and prostate cancer and believed to combat heart disease. Okinawans steer clear of artery-clogging meats and dairy products. Results are astounding: compared with the United States, death rates are 82 percent lower for coronary heart disease, 86 percent lower for prostate cancer, 57 percent lower for ovarian cancer and 82 percent lower for breast cancer. "Simply put," write researchers of the Okinawa diet, "if Americans lived more like Okinawans, we would have to close down 80 percent of the coronary care units and one-third of the cancer wards in the United States, and a lot of nursing homes would be out of business."
