Here are my some key take away points,

  1. Continuous Movement naturally: No sedentary lifestyle , No goal oriented brisk walk !!
  2. Meal preparations takes longer time , slow process, includes seasonal local diverse pulses ,
    vegetables, grains .
  3. No concept of weekend - work everyday , rest and enjoy on everyday basis.
    No concept of retirement - have some work or hobby to get up everyday from bed
  4. Good community to connect and laugh - Good Social bonding makes you more relaxed and
    happy. Good laugh makes more good to you than you taught.

Thanks for sharing Smitha! This is a topic of huge interest for me. I have come across similar takeaways in books like Ikigai as well but if you’re interested in longevity, would definitely recommend David Sinclair’s ‘Lifespan’ which goes into multiple such recommendations, including some clinically proven interventions such as Strength Training and having Metformin among others.
