Aki-san, thank you so much for the interview about my passion! I'm gonna take you on my blue zone longevity tour next time you visit and let's drink awamori after, too (of course!)
To anyone watching, you can adapt any of these habits no matter where you are, because the key to longevity is not a specific type of food or exercise.
Hello, @Christal! Is Haitai sugar similar in anyway to muscovado sugar?
Grazie, Christal!! 🤗❤️🇮🇹
What a wonderful interview! Thank you for sharing all this useful information! ❤
thank you Christa! Where we can learn more about the longevity in Okinawa and their habits?
That was such a fantastic video! I m so glad that I decided to watch it. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge & experience. May be one day I get to visit Okinawa with my family ❤
It's really impressive how Christal is so successful in Japan while maintaining her independence! It's really difficult to run your own business in a foreign country without being independently wealthy or being sponsored by a company.
Fruitful video my takeaway
1. Go with the flow
2. Embrace spirituality
3. Things would happen on its own no matter how much one tries to control it
4. Forge meaningful relations, be kind and be emphatic
This is a wonderful takeaway!
All of this is also true for my 96 year old grandma who lives in Germany. She is very independent, moving around a lot, eating in moderation, meeting with friends all the time and very giving. She is also very tough and doesn't complain much. I'm still trying to figure out how to do all of that myself - so far rather unsuccessful.
Meine Mutter ist auch so. Sie hat mehr Energie als ich😂
Love this video, Aki and Christal. I'm so inspire of the tip moving around(walking, cooking, cleaning, tending the field). I believe the reason why they don't stress is because they are living in the present moment. "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” Lao Tzu
You are correct, they live in the present moment :)
one interesting fact here is that Okinawa is also the poorest prefecture in Japan....which for me means that wealth has no correlation with longevity
They don’t stress because they know that whatever they do it’s meant to be ❤. Nothing to worry about then. Truly wonderful and so wise.
Aki your channel is very healing for people with mental problems, problems dealing with reality, problems in everyday life, problems with dealing with all material things!
You inspire people with your open and honest nature! Even though I don't know you personally, I really like you and I'm always looking forward to a new video!!
very best regards
Cornelia
Aki can I ask you some?
Nankuru Naisa…
Que Sera, Sera…
Whatever Will Be, Will Be?
Christal, Many Thanks for Sharing.
Take Care & Stay Safe.
Who knew I ate hara-hachibu and never knew it. I am amazed at the quanities of food my fell Americans eat, not to mention what they eat! When I was in Okinawa, the thing more people noticed than anything else, was my size! They would point to themselves and me and exclaim you like us.! It simply hurts my stomach to over eat. Awamori is strong! I should definitely drink more! lol.
My mom lives with me here in the US, and there are certain little jobs I don't do unless she asks, so that she does get up and move around. I hope my mother can live with me as long as she lives.
We took an Okinawan cooking class while we were there, and were introduced to Okinawan ginger? I may not have under stood it correctly, but it grows everywhere locally, and they slice it up and put it in water to flavor it and cook with it too. She introduced us to seaweed, it was a specific kind that she had gathered herself. I loved it. I hated to return to US because I don't care for the foods most of us eat. LOL
Aki-san christal -san thank you so much I learned so much!
Great video. I lived 2 years on Okinawa and loved it. I also took a college course on Okinawa culture and learned so much. My children and wife also loved it. The people are so friendly and are very giving. We were walking along a sugarcane field and noticed some greens. We asked the farmer about them and he took us down the road to his wife. She showed my wife how to cook them and gave us some to take home AFTER feeding us. The farmer stressed to my kids about the habu (deadly snake).
I wonder what those greens were 🤔
You said your English isn't good and yet you have the courage to talk with someone in English. Great step! I'm proud of you and the video is amazing.
If anyone like to know more about the blue zones should read "ikigai - the secret to longevity". Such a great book
I was going to say his English almost sounds even better having conversation with someone else than when he does the scripts for his videos, he seems more comfortable not worrying about how he sounds for a video ❤
I agree and want to add my compliments to Aki San for his very natural conversational English, especially as he has said previously that he feels it isn't very good. Thank you for this video with important information
Thank you! 😃
Your English is great man! Keep making videos!
Thank you Aki and Crista -I love these tips from your research and visits with the people in Okinawa!
I'm 73 and live in Oregon, next to my daughter's, where I see family daily, and it's easy to incorporate many of these naturally!
I am having a Japanese inspired breakfast (Miso soup with Wakame, stir fried greens from my garden + local asparagus, with some kim chi I made and grated carrot)
I'll meet a group of friends for lunch (it's a block away, and I'll walk over)
Hoping to grow some purple sweet potato from a tubor i found at a favorite market, and am starting seeds for my garden.
I have several tea Camellias and lots of herbs, and volunteer tending a tea garden in a local Edible landscape (a tea camellia plus herbs)
A tip on finding real sugar in the US - look for organic su-ca-nat (sugar cane natural) that's grown and processed naturally! I choose organic whenever I can, and filter my drinking and cooking water to reduce chemical exposure.
I'm a massage therapist (40 years - still working 2 days a week) and always try to nudge my clients in the direction of healthy habits and choices. I do Japanese morning exercises, Qigong or Breema (Kurdish) most mornings.
And - I'm learning Cherokee!! (Free online program with a first language speaker, Ed Fields!)
🙏 we all be well and happy!
When Christal mentioned the 90yr old gentleman she works with how he picks up when she comes to help he perks up. It is sooo important for various ages to be around one another. Often older people sometimes through choice but often not by choice don't get to socalise with younger people. I am 57yrs and do fencing. It is a terrific sport on its own but the major added bonus is being around young people talking about their uni studies and life, they don't talk about their health and talk about getting old. They make you push yourself because you don't want them to think you can't keep up with them. And if you get worried about being sore or your heart races when doing a bout they remind you it isn't your age as their bodies also get sore and their hearts rush and they get tired. I get to help them out with their worries and concerns through the life experiences I have had. Let's hope that society gets it shortly to get us all socialising and working together.
Hi Aki!! Thank you for having Christal on your show. I always learn something from you and this video was no exception. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
I am glad I could share some knowledge :)
Arigato for this video. So simple yet profound
Arigato--!
Very interesting! My key takeaway is that you can't separate physical health from mental health. They are both linked, and both equally important for a truly healthy lifestyle. In the west, we seem to lack this connection, and we also tend to take things to the extreme.
Yes, EXACTLY!!
Wonderful video! I learned so much. Great work Christal! Thank you
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
Thank you so much for this vid. Esp liked No 7 since my stress level is so up to my ears recently. Love frm Malaysia.
Thank you for the amazing interview!
Thank you so much for all of these videos, Aki! They improve my life so much, and I'm so grateful for them 🙏
This video is pure gold! So well done and I actually see a few things in my own life I should change to live a healthier and better life now that I’m watching this. Both of you guys drop so much truth and are so worth a follow!
Thankyou for such great video Aki and Christal 😊❤
Aki, lovely video as always 💗 Great SIMPLE habits to focus on in life 🙏🏼 Hope you will enjoy visiting Okinawa again soon.
Now, that was very inspiring! I loved listening to the two of you :D I already knew a bit about Okinawa, but know muuch more now. Especially when you said at the end about the easiness of it all. Not stressing about one more thing - longevity - but rather just living your live in the most heartfelt, communal and enjoyable way possible. I needed to hear that. Thank you!!
I love this Video. While watching I sit on the couch, not want to go out this evening- but now it's time for taking walk and meet some friends.
Thanks to you and Christal❤
Great video, thank you both🙏❤️
Another great video, and a great interview! Excellent work!
What a beautiful way to live life. Thank you great video ❤
amazing video!! thanks samurai matcha. greating from Argentina!
Thank you Aki, your videos always make me smile. Greetings from Poland❤
I really like your videos . Please upload more . I watch them every morning to give me energy and start my day positively . ❤
Loved it! You both are great people!
Thank you for this video! ❤❤🙏🏻
This video very inspiring! And I really like Christal, she's has such a positive presence 🌞
I love this video! Im so happy that youtube suggested this to me❤
I have no words to express how much I love this video. I've been practicing Okinawan karate for almost four decades and I've always been fascinated by Okinawan longevity. My experience of life led me to believe that health is so much more than a mechanical process (like Western medicine often wants us to believe) but also has a social and emotional dimension to it. Christal explains this so well in this video. A HUGE thank you!
i would have liked a interview with old aged Okinawas +100yrs
I love your content, it's always so interesting ❤🎉😊
I loved this video!! Definitely going to start embracing "nankuru naisa" in my life. Thank you for this! ^_^
Nankuru naisa … sounds good . What a magical word. In buddhism we say everything is subjected to change. We have to accept everything
love the philosophy of this video, with all this anxious topic on RUclips it's a fresh breath ! thanks a lot ! I think this video can have an impact for me and I hope for other people ;) keep going ! (just like this some video wish list idea : Japanese cooking recipe / full Japanese kitchen tool / recommendations for matcha latte and which matcha to buy in France for good quality)
Always enjoy Aki’s videos and Christal was a wonderful guest speaker.
❤ Fabulous 🤩 video.... blessings 🙏 from Florida..🎉
Great video today. Lots of information. Thank you
Great video! Thank you so much Christal and Aki-san 🙂
Thank you :)
Love this video. Thank you both for honoring the culture of your elders by sharing it with us!
7. Song: k sara sara, whatever will be will be. .....
Thank you for sharing and linking her website. I look forward to reading all about it! My daughter and I have been looking for good resources to help guide our diet change.
Thank you, I'm always providing (often free) information, such as recipes, tips, and more.
That is so Inspiring thanks for sharing
Great information ! Arigatou!
What a great video, thank you!
Yes, you can do it anywhere, but it is harder when surrounded with everyone else not doing it. I really enjoyed this video and I will keep striving for these habits.
thank you very much i enjoy watching and learning more about life longevity ❤❤❤more power to both of you
I am an army brat born in Okinawa 55 years ago. I enjoyed this so much ❤. Thank you!
Thank you - pleasant learning experience.
Loved this🙂
Such a wonderful video
Thank you
That is a very beautiful teachable moment video, thank you Aki.
Thank you!!
What an absolutely lovely young woman!! Such a phenomenol video, Aki. Thank you. I will be sourcing some product from Christal and her company, Haitai.
Yes I learned a lot today, no matter where you live easy up. Love from busy LA😂❤❤
Thank you so much!
You are very blessed to live in Japan. Love your topic. That is what I am doing now. Engaging more in nature and living simple life. Thank you
Thank you so much for your video about longevity. Thank you so much for both .😊😊😊😊
What an amazing and inspiring woman! ❤
Thanks Christal for promoting healthy living, and not forgetting Aki for making this video. 🙏
I love the topic. When i opened my tablet. I’m frozen listening and watching. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I appreciate the way you both shared it simply without stressing out to gain viewers etc. I love Japanese' culture of respect, giving and longevity. I hope to follow this culture as well. Thank you
LOVE THIS!!! ❤️🤍
Great Topic. I would like to continue learning more.
I learned a lot from this video. I tend to stress a lot sometimes. I will practice the Okinawan style ❤
I have always been interested in the blue zones. I live close to one in California. Definitely going to check out Christal company. She is so interesting and so happy she is teaching and studying this.
The Blue Zones incorporate about 10% 'animal products' and only for celebratory occasions. READ the book. This perspective is from an overweight American who clearly loves eating animal products. Delusional.
Great video!
Interesting and enriching video ありがとうございます！
That’s great content! Netflix has already the documentary about blue zones ❤
I just came from Christal's video. Commenting as to how I would like to see you two in more content. Bingo you tube feeds me just what I had asked for.
Excellent. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Nankuru naisa i love that.. thanks
🙏🏻 Thank you
My Irish American grandparents each lived to the age of 103. They ate a typical American diet in moderation and drank alcohol occasionally. Great video thanks!
Healthy foods Good.
Thanks you so much
Nankuru Naisa is something I have to have more of, in my life. I also have to learn to handle stress better. It's difficult when there are many difficult challenges sometimes happening, that make my life more stressful. I just have to try to not stress about too much.
Just follow Okinawan's advice - everything happens for a reason, so don't sweat it. With practice it gets easier.
Good luck🍀
Sometimes "no answer" is the very best answer. This was very enlightening. Thanx.
That's true!
A nice video ❤
Love the video! It's truly a way of life; and so many life concepts mentioned here are also in the religion i practice which is Islam especially eating until 80% full and Nankuru Naisa! Okinawa is now on my bucket list of places to visit. Thank you!
Go out... Be social. I am in midlife and wish to just stay in. I have to push myself. But joined a wind band and it is the best tonic. Get out, talk, laugh and play music together ❤🎉
Hätte gern auch deutsche Übersetzung des Interview arigato
Yes!
i like that philosophy - eat to live, eat moderately
16:12 The last one made me laugh because, although I'm from a whole different island (Raiatea in French Polynesia), I already know this phrase: I learned it from the anime Blood+ years ago and I taught my definition of it to my daughters. The eldest told me once that Nankuru Naisa made her think about Hakuna Matata from the Lion King!
Thanks for this wisdom bro!
Māuruuru roa 🤙🏾 (Thanks in tahitian)
I love your videos
Nice video and lots of food info, but I could have done without this lady selling her products.
沖縄の年寄りはよく歩くのよ、ほんと。あ、私沖縄出身者です。私のばあちゃんは100歳でなくなりました。7つの習慣全部やってました。笑。習慣ってよそから来た人に言われるまで気づかないものですね。中学校の時、マラソン大会走り終えた後、一人一個黒砂糖配られました。汗かいた後のミネラル補給？
そうなんですね！沖縄の方に言われると本当なんだなと思います。本当に外からの目って大事ですよね。当たり前の素晴らしいところに気づかせてくれますからね：）
Bitte mehr von Okinawa und den Alltag sowie die Langlebigkeit sehr interessant vielleicht auch noch mehr über die goya Gurke was machst du so in Okinawa? Liebe Grüße
I am from India but learning about japans culture is really interesting and aspiring 😊
Thank you so much for this interesting interview!
Hello I really enjoy your channel. How can I purchase the Hizoudenrai matcha tea you tested a few years ago?
Thank you from Iran. Our cultures are so close.
What will be, will be!
In northern nigeria that sugar is called mazarkwaila in Hausa language. Made from boiled sugarcane juice. Delicious.
I had to stop the video mid way to say: yes, matcha latte with real brown sugar is di-vi-ne! Here in Brazil is quite easy to find it, so, yep, I've tried and the richness of it brings the match amazingly...
I'm coming to Japan in October 27 I hope I can see you walking around maybe we can have some matcha.
