The Ikigai Diet didn’t only model the centenarians in the Japanese Blue Zones, they also modeled Shizenha people who I think are the healthiest people in Japan and will be longer living centenarians in the future.
The other day, I watched a documentary program on Amazon prime called 10 Billion ‑ What Will We Eat Tomorrow?
If you ask people in Japan about the longest-lived prefecture, most people say it is Nagano, not Okinawa.
Today, I would like to share with you another Shizenha bio-hacking method, natural gardening. Natural Gardening is based on Natural Farming, but it is just gardening, not farming. You grow vegetables naturally in your small garden. Because it isn’t farming, you can be more playful with it, and try Masanobu Fukuoka’s method of letting vegetables grow wildly.
I watched Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon prime the other day, and was very surprised to see how British farming was different from Japanese farming.
On Saturday, I helped a friend plant rice at terraced rice fields near my house.
The Local Network Hino began a Sunday organic morning market last week, and we had the second market yesterday.
On Sunday, I planted some seeds before it started raining. It began raining about one hour after I finished planting. It was perfect timing.
It was almost two years when I gave a talk and workshop at the Apricot Centre and they featured me again on their website, introducing my current activity, as well.
