4. 80% rule don’t over eat- In Okinawa “where people have achieved the most longevity” they have a rule that you eat until you are 80 percent full. this is with good reason because caloric restriction has shown to increase life span in all animals including humans.

All green food is packed with vitamins and minerals, enzymes, and other micro-nutrients that the body needs to perform at optimal levels.
