Hello and

In my class, we
do our best and
support one
another as we
learn together.
Can you talk about your daily routine?
Vilcabamba, a small. village in the Andes, is often called "the Valley of Long Life."
What's its secret? Firstly, Vilcabamba is not very hot or very cold — the
temperature is usually between 64 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (18 and 27 degrees
Celsius), and the air is very clean. Secondly, people work hard in the fields and
exercise a lot. Thirdly, their diet is very healthy. They eat a lot of fruit and
vegetables, and they hardly ever eat meat or fish. The water they drink, from
the river in Vilcabamba, is very rich in minerals. They also have a good social life.
In Vilcabamba people say, "The left leg and the right leg help you to be healthy,
because they take you to your friends' homes."
The secret of a long
life
In three areas of the world,
a very high number of people
live to be 100. Scientists want
2 Italy to know why. What do the
three places have in
common?
Pin Okinawa in Japan do not have big meals. They usually just r have
vegetables and fish, and often eat soy. Okinawans are very active, and
they often work until they are 80 or more. But they also relax every day
— they see friends and they meditate. Ushi, from Okinawa, is 107. In the
evening, she often dances with her daughter. "I want to have a
boyfriend," she says. When journalists ask people from Okinawa "What is
your secret?" they answer, "We are happy, we are always positive, and
we are never in a hurry."
