| Summary |
In certain communities around the world, life expectancy exceeds that of the average American by 10 or 20 years. Is there a secret characteristic-- perhaps a dietary ingredient or a genetic factor-- that makes longevity possible? This program searches for answers by crisscrossing the planet, observing and interviewing people extremely advanced in age-- from a Sardinian family rife with centenarians to a sake-drinking Okinawa resident who has just celebrated her 103rd birthday to a bicycling Californian who remembers the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Viewers will learn about research that emphasizes behaviors and environments rather than focusing on a single longevity factor such as nutrition or DNA |
