In Okinawa, Japan, there is this saying: “At 70 you are a child. At 80 you are young. And if at 90 you are invited to heaven, say; get out of here and come back when I am 100”! https://www.bluezones.com/2020/07/why-the-okinawan-practice-of-sitting-on-the-floor-is-linked-to-health-mobility-and-longevity-how-you-can-practice-it-at-home

Longevity, Okinawa Japan 20 sec into the video is Ushi Okushima (paraphrased in books/on
internet) The woman I was at home with in 2009. She was 108 years old at the time and had recently become bedridden. I sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand. On the ceiling hung a medal she had received from the “health/medical service”, which read “Healthy 107 year old”! I met 5 generations of women, who welcomed me so kindly (See the picture:) Ushi's daughter is sitting next to her mother in bed, she was 80 years old and so agile and resilient! She was sitting on the floor when I got there, and I remember thinking: does she have no legs! Watch the video about the health benefits of sitting on the floor. In the photos on the walls of the house, Ushi is 98 years old and a model for bitter melon. In another photo, Ushi is 107 and working in the garden
