Park obtained a motorcycle license in May last year (2012) and passed the car driving test five months later.
He is 100 years old this year and is still very active. He is riding his motorcycle and driving around town in his car.
So, what is the secret of his longevity and excellent health?He mentioned food and living conditions.
In South Korea, Jeju Island has the highest numbers of population that live over 100-year-old (Centenarians).
There is a perception that the island’s cuisine might have something to do with the longevity of its population is shining the spotlight on the health benefits and wholesome influence of Jeju’s food culture.
Other places in Asia that recorded high numbers of Centenarians are Chengmai of Hainan Island in China and Japan's Okinawa Island.
http://www.chinadailyapac.com/article/where-longevity-longstandingInternational Expert Committee on Population Aging and Longevity (IECPAL) recognizes Hainan as a "world longevity island" and Chengmai as "world longevity area".
An IECPAL working group released a report revealing similarities between Chengmai and other areas known for longevity.
The report says that while genetic factors exert a 20-30 percent influence, environmental factors account for at least 70 percent of influence over life expectancy.
You agree with IECPAL's report?
