| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Hey I'm back and today we're going to answer the question what is the |
| 0:47.3 | healthiest country in the world can you guess? Japan. |
| 0:54.0 | Okay, let's talk about it. |
| 0:55.0 | So Japan is one of the healthiest countries for several reasons. |
| 0:58.0 | Number one, it has the most super centenarians per capita in the world. |
| 1:04.0 | In other words, a super centenarian |
| 1:06.4 | is someone who lives to be at least 110 years old. |
| 1:10.7 | And then in the south, Okinawa, they have the highest number of centenarians in the world, |
| 1:15.8 | and those are people who live to be a hundred. |
| 1:18.8 | Now Sardinia is up there as well, probably is tied with Okinawa as far as the highest number of |

| 1:54.4 | And it's interesting to call it the metabol law and not the obesity law because |
| 1:58.8 | anyone who is actually between 47 years old and 74 years old is required to be measured each |
| 2:07.8 | year and for men it cannot exceed 33.5 inches and for women it cannot exceed 35.4 inches. |
| 2:19.1 | Now I'm not sure there are penalties whether it's through the insurance company that they have or the government, but I think it's very motivating to have this as a target because this is the indicator of insulin resistance and the amount of insulin in the body. |
