The 5-Minute Exercise Routine That Boosts Longevity in Okinawa's Blue Zone
The Japanese workout routine called Radio Taiso, a five-minute low-intensity exercise, has been practiced for almost a century in Japan and is believed to contribute to the country's long life expectancy. The routine, which involves small intentional movements with the arms, neck, and legs, is traditionally done in the morning and can be performed by people of all ages and physical abilities. Radio Taiso promotes physical well-being, social interaction, and mindfulness, and is still broadcast live on television and radio in Japan. Videos of the routine can be found online for those interested in trying it.
