I'd like to believe vitality comes from ACTIVITY rather than diet but I gotta admit it is likely both.
There's a book that came out on this topic a few years ago. It was the result of a 30 year study in Okinawa. It's a fascinating read, but it is mostly diet that seems to do it for them. I remember they commented in the book that when their children leave and adopt a more "Western" diet, there mortality quickly begins to mirror ours.
I told myself 4 or 5 years ago that I was going to commit to the program, but I never did. Maybe someday soon...
