8. Rice Instead of Bread
You will almost never find bread in a Japanese home. Steamed rice is served with almost every meal and, therefore, no bread is needed. Brown rice is also sometimes served but most often, it is plain steamed white rice that is a staple with every meal.
9. A Japanese Kitchen is Stocked with …
There are a few things that every Japanese kitchen has so there is always something on hand to eat. They vary tremendously from the average American kitchen — to say the least. A typical kitchen in Japan will have:

10. Exercise is a Part of Life
Most of the Japanese people are in good health and in excellent physical condition at almost every age. This is probably because they incorporate plenty of ways to get exercise each and every day into their lives. The Japanese have created a healthy environment for getting in some activity every day, such as walking areas in every part of town, bike paths for easy access to work and shopping malls, hiking, and generally just staying as active as possible. The Japanese don’t look at exercise as a chore, but rather as a pleasure in which everyone should partake.
You don’t have to be Japanese to enjoy the benefits of their lifestyle. We can all learn so much about living a healthier life from the Japanese. By eating fresh fish, fruits, vegetables and some rice or noodles, getting exercise every day and changing our focus from weight and dieting to eating healthy and enjoying life, perhaps we can all hit the magic 100-year-old mark.
