At a dinner in Okinawa, the youngest person at the table was 99 years old. One guest was 106 and rode his bicycle home after dinner. So what is their secret?
Danny found four key reasons for their long lives:

- Strong community - they eat and spend time together
- Fresh food every day - vegetables, fish, and pork, no packaged foods
- Low pollution from being in the South Pacific
