In addition to his medical practice, Hinohara also studied the secrets of longevity - about this he wrote the book "Long Life, Good Life". In it, he gave some advice that has helped Japan become a world leader in longevity.

Don't retire. Or let it happen much later than 65

“There is no need to retire, but if it does need to be done, then it must be much later than 65,” Hinohara told The Japan Times in 2009. In the 21st century, he explained, people live on average almost 80 years. Therefore, it makes no sense to write yourself off so early.

Choose a ladder instead of an elevator (Keep your weight in check)

Hinohara emphasized the importance of regular exercise.

“I go up two steps to make my muscles move,” he said.

In addition, Hinohara gave 150 lectures a year, each of which lasted 60 to 90 minutes. He taught while standing "to stay strong."

He also noted that centenarians have one thing in common: they are not overweight. Hinohara's diet was Spartan.

“For breakfast I drink coffee, a glass of milk and some orange juice with a tablespoon of olive oil. Lunch is milk and some cookies. Or nothing at all when I'm too busy. Dinner - vegetables, some fish and rice, and twice a week 100 grams of lean meat, ”said Shigeaki Hinohara.

Define your goals

Not having a busy schedule is a surefire way to grow old and die faster, Hinohara believed. However, he also noted: there is no need to do useless things for the sake of a busy schedule. Think about why you work and move around your own goals and interests.

“Until the age of 60, it is easy to work for a family and achieve your goals. But in later years, we should also strive to make our contribution to society, ”the doctor said.

Rules are stressful, so try to soften them

Despite the fact that Hinohara himself actively followed his life and observed the regime, he insisted that one should not drive oneself into too rigid a framework.

“We all remember how in childhood, when we had fun, we forgot to eat or sleep. I believe that we can maintain this attitude towards life as adults. Better not to tire the body with too many rules. "
