In a world where the average life expectancy reached a remarkable 72.6 years in 2019, it's essential to explore the remarkable "blue zones" - regions with extraordinary longevity and unique cultures. Among these is Okinawa, Japan, a place where women outlive the rest of the world. With an astonishing 68 centenarians per 100,000 inhabitants, Okinawa stands as a testament to the potential of a longer, more fulfilling life. Japan itself boasts the second-highest global life expectancy of 84.67 years in 2019.
