Okinawan longevity
The authors of "The Okinawa Diet Plan: Get Leaner, Live Longer and Never Feel Hungry" will sign their new book , 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday at a fund-raising event for the Hawaii Okinawa Center.Drs. Bradley and Craig Willcox are brothers who conducted extensive research into the longevity of native Okinawans. Their previous book, "The Okinawa Program," a New York Times best-seller in 2001, presented the results of a 25-year study that showed more healthy people living beyond age 100 in Okinawa than anywhere else in the world.
They credit the traditional Okinawan diet, high in whole foods, soy, fruits and vegetables with just a small amount of pork and other animal protein, for the phenomenon.
Admission to Saturday's event is $40, which includes a copy of "The Okinawa Diet Plan" and a tasting of dishes from the book's recipe section.
