Perhaps evenmore astounding than their longevity isthe quality of health these elders enjoy;people in their 70s, 80s and beyondenjoy excellent physical health, mentalacuity, independence and inner calm.Studies have found that genetic factorsonly account for about one third of theOkinawan elders’ extraordinary healthand long lifespans. The other two-thirdscan be attributed to the lifestyle factorswhich comprise our Balanced CareMethod approach to care.Components of the Balanced CareMethod Training include:• Healthy Diet• Physical Activity• Cognitive Engagement• Social Ties• Calmness and Purpose
