92-Year-Old Japanese Grandfather Reveals Secret to Good Health and Memory

Hisao Nagayama, a renowned expert in Japanese food history and culture, shares his secret to excellent health and memory at 92 years old.

After being diagnosed with tuberculosis at a young age, Hisao began studying nutrition and food, which led to his remarkable health journey.

Hisao’s daily diet consists of six simple foods that help combat aging, support brain health, and prevent memory loss.

6 Foods for a Healthy Life

1. Sesame Seeds

   Sesame seeds are rich in vitamins E and B1, which help fight aging and contain components that combat free radicals, stimulate blood circulation, and control blood pressure.

2. Soy

   Soybeans are an excellent source of plant-based protein. Hisao prefers “natto” or fermented soybeans, which contain the enzyme nattokinase, helping to break up blood clots, improve blood circulation, and prevent heart attacks.

3. Fish

   Fish is an excellent source of DHA and EPA, which help reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, and stimulate brain cell activity. Nutrient-rich fish include mackerel, deep-sea fish, and anchovies.

4. Carrots

   Carrots are rich in vitamin A, beta-carotene, and vitamin E, which have antioxidant properties, protecting the skin and mucous membranes from damage caused by blue light.

5. Green Tea

   Green tea is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and antioxidants, boosting immunity and reducing the risk of heart disease by 20% when consumed three cups a week.

6. Eggs

   Hisao starts his day with eggs, which contain lecithin, helping to eliminate bad cholesterol, improve blood circulation, and prevent hardening of blood vessels, ultimately supporting memory and preventing dementia.
