The expert appeals to the experience of residents of Okinawa, Japan, where the world's highest proportion of long-lived people lives. According to the scientist, among the old residents of the island there is a statement that you should eat until you feel 80 percent full, and not eat until your stomach is bloated.

“Trying to eat food more slowly, eating from a smaller plate, giving up distracting gadgets help to follow this rule,” the specialist advised.

Another piece of advice from Amata is to eat plant-based food every day in the form of fruits, vegetables, whole grains cereals and legumes. The specialist noticed that “the combination of these products helps to maintain the body's immune and anti-inflammatory functions”.

In addition, the scientist advises to move more, especially “a lot of walking”, as well as control the amount of alcohol consumed.
