The Japanese Ambassador to Barbados believes that lessons from Japan’s Okinawan culture could help improve the health and longevity of Barbados’ ageing population. Speaking at a Japanese cuisine showcase on Saturday, Ambassador Yusuke Miyasaka highlighted the similarities between Japan and Barbados, both nations facing a growing elderly population. He said the traditions in the Japanese island of Okinawa offer an organic blueprint for healthy ageing that focuses on nutrition, lifestyle, and cultural practices that promote long life and well-being.
