Japan sets record of nearly 100,000 people aged over 100

According to the Japanese government, the country now has a record-breaking 100,000 people who are 100 years of age or older. As of September, there were 99,763 centenarians in Japan, breaking the previous record for the 55th consecutive year, the health ministry announced on Friday. Women made up an astonishing 88% of that total.

I wonder how people there live for that long when most of the people die in between 60-80 years here. Maybe the healthy diet and life style is the key reason for people living long.

Those who reached more than 100 years old might be lucky. They might have cared themselves, no vice, no night life, sensitive lifestyle, and food they eat are what their bodies only need or required. They have lots of discipline.

That's true they might have lived their life with set rules. I won't like to live for 100 years. I have seen people who get too old are bed ridden and don't get care from their own kids so I won't live long life, I would like to have a short life but a good life

This is amazing to see. It is not too often that we see people live to 100 or over but when we do, you know that they did something to prolong their life.

Japan is for sure doing something right and maybe the rest of the world would be wise to take tips from them for a longer life
