The Okinawa diet is derived from the traditional eating style of people living on Japan’s Okinawa island. The diet is low-calorie and mostly carb-based, but more recently, it has been adopted to include more fat and protein.

Okinawa is the largest of the Ryukyu Islands, situated off the coast of Japan between the Philippine Seas and East China. It belongs to one of five regions of the world known as the blue zones. People who live in blue zones live very long, healthy lives, which is considered extraordinary compared to the rest of the world’s population.

The lifespans of Okinawas may be explained by various lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors. However, it is believed that one of the biggest reasons for this is their diet.
