Beigh Nasir's Key Ideas from Ikigai
by Héctor García

•Use your feet instead of an elevator or escalator. This is good for your posture, your muscles, and your respira tory system, among other things.

•Participate in social or leisure activities so that you don't spend too much time in front of the television.

•Replace your junk food with fruit and you'll have less of an urge to snack, and more nutrients in your system.

•Get the right amount of sleep. Seven to nine hours is good, but any more than that makes us lethargic.

•Play with children or pets, or join a sports team. This not only strengthens the body but also stimulates the mind

A woman, 100 years old sang the following song for us in a mixture of Japanese and the local dialect:

To keep healthy and have a long life, we get on well with all of our friends. Spring, summer, fall, winter,We happily enjoy all the seasons.

The secret is bot to get distracted by how old the fingers are; From the fingers to the head and back once again.
