It has potent] antioxidants that capture free radicals. There are a lot of studies on the effect of green tea [on] the aging process of cells." Specifically, green tea's main catechin EGCG has been found to be 100 times more potent than the antioxidant power of vitamin C and 25 times more than vitamin E. Studies also suggest EGCG may help provide anti-inflammatory benefits, support brain function, promote healthy blood sugar levels, and reduce heart disease risks—so it's no wonder the cultures that prioritize green tea wind up living the longest. 2. Shikuwasa: When Okinawans eat dessert, there's a good chance shikuwasa makes it onto the plate—this small green fruit is native to the area and is especially rich in flavonoids. A kind of citrus fruit. It has something called nobiletin a citrus bioflavonoid associated with anti-inflammatory and healthy aging benefits; one study found that nobiletin could increase life span and enhance resilience against various stressors.3. Goya
Goya—also known as bitter melon—comes from the gourd family and is packed with phytonutrients and vitamins, namely vitamins C, A, and E, as well as B vitamins, including folate and B2. Plus, it contains specific compounds that can help balance blood sugar; these compounds (called chantarin, polypeptide-p, and vicine, in case you're curious) have been shown to act similar to insulin when they're ingested in the body. Given how important blood sugar balance is for metabolic health (which, in turn, is critical for longevity), we can consider goya one powerful longevity-supporting staple.
Okinawans eat it with pork, they eat it with other vegetables It's very balanced. 4. Seaweed
Specifically umibudo, an Okinawan green seaweed that has a grape-like shape (umibudo actually translates to "sea grapes" in Japanese).
Different types of seaweed (red, brown, green) boast slightly different nutrient profiles, but generally, seaweed contains flavonoids and carotenoids, which function to fight off free radicals within the body—which, as we know, is A+ for longevity. Seaweed is also a major source of iodine, which supports a healthy thyroid, and it's an abundant source of folate, a natural form of vitamin B9 that promotes the production of healthy new red blood cells and supports heart function.
