Top 5 Foods That Makes You Live Longer

Human beings have always tried to find ways to live longer. Many have succeeded, especially Asian people, coming to or close to the age of 100. But what is the secret behind such age? Many rumours behind these Top 5 foods that I will show here. Why not try them out more and see how it affects your life? Are the theories right or wrong?

1) Red Wine. People have long said red wine makes you live longer (usually while excusing themselves for drinking too much red wine). Not that it's going to change our copious red wine consumption, but the supposed fountain of youth may be no such thing.

2) Garlic. The potential effects of garlic on longevity are basically impossible to prove in humans. But given the beneficial effects on important risk factors like blood pressure, it makes sense that garlic could help you live longer.

3) Green Tea. Green tea may help you live longer, yes. Ofcourse, we all have to die eventually, but given that green tea drinkers are at a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, it makes sense that it could help you live longer.

4) Fish. Eating fish can do more than extend your life; it can improve the quality of that life, too. According to a 2013 study, the "good fat" in fish like salmon, sardines and tuna can help lower your risk of dying.


5) Avocado. Avocados are more than just a trendy toast topper and guacamole ingredient; they're packed with monounsaturated fats that can help reduce heart disease and help you live longer. Bonus: the healthy fats in avocados always keep you full.

Album cover for Miki Matsubara's "Stay With Me". Miki Matsubara , or Suzie Matsubara [as she also went by], was a composer, lyricist and singer from Japan. She was known for her 80's J-Pop love songs, but really became famous after her debut single, " Stay With Me ", was released in November 1979. I'm sure many of you have heard this song, and I'm a fan of this talented woman myself, thus I decided to write about her. Early Life Miki Matsubara was born 28th of November 1959 in Osaka ( Kishiwada ), Japan. She grew up with a father, mother and younger sister in Hiraoka Town .

She went to ordinary schools her whole childhood and was praised as being a great and hardworking student who would enroll into university, but Miki had already dreams of beco...

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...
