In the latest survey, Japanese women have once again, for the 25th consecutive year, proven to have the highest life expectancy in the world, at 86.44 years. Living longer whilst staying beautiful? What secrets are these Japanese women harbouring that we can steal?

Here are 5 live-longer strategies to steal:

1. Eat these: Seaweed. The diet of the Japanese is jam-packed with plant-based eats such as fruits, vegetables and soy, and it provides a large amount of vitamins. Seaweed by itself contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, vitamin C, fiber, beta-carotene, and more.

Fish. The Japanese also eat a lot of tuna, mackerel and salmon which contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to reduce the risk of heart disease and breast cancer.

2. Drink this: Green tea. Loaded with antioxidants, green tea has been known to reduce the risk of cancer and osteoporosis. Still not convinced about the benefits of green tea?

According to a recent study, people who drink six cups of tea a day have a 36 percent lower risk of heart disease compared to those who drink less than one cup per day. Beauty Secrets of the Japanese.

3. Do this: Eat slower. It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to recognize fullness. Savouring food, like the Japanese, will ensure that you will never end up eating more than what you should be consuming.

4. Use these: Azuki. The centuries old ingredient is said to be rubbed on the face gently to keep complexion smooth and free of blemishes. Also, Koemnuka, a rice bran is used to nourish skin and help to retain the youthful glow.

It also prevents wrinkles, dark eye circles and controls oil production. Wakame kelp protects skin from UV rays and pollution, and prevents fine lines and dark eye circles.

5. Find this: Zen. The Japanese practice physical and mental fitness. Activities such as yoga and meditation have been shown not only to reduce stress, but also to normalize weight, improve immunity and energy levels, improve overall well being.

Time to get off your butt and start stretching!
