Jonathan, the tortoise from Seychelles, was known for his longevity, having been born in 1832. He recently celebrated his 190th Birthday (yes, 190!). He resides on St. Helena Island, Atlantic Ocean(I never knew it existed!). Despite his old age, Jonathan continues to show vigor and vitality and is full of life. Scientists conducted experiments to uncover the secrets of his longevity. After several months of observation and testing, the researchers discovered that Jonathan's diet was rich in antioxidants, lived stress-free life, spending his days basking in the sun and taking long naps. The researchers gathered information to create a guide to longevity called the "Jonathan Protocol." The protocol outlines principles for healthy living, such as eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, managing stress, and staying active. The goal of the Jonathan Protocol is to help people live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life, just like Jonathan, the tortoise.

As in humans, Okinawan’s tend to live have longest lifespans on earth (especially females). The Okinawan lifestyle consumes a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and minimal meat and dairy. They also strongly emphasized exercise, staying active, a close-knit community, and strong social connections to keep them mentally and emotionally healthy. Despite the rapid modernization of their island, the people of Okinawa refused to abandon their traditions. They remained committed to living a healthy and balanced lifestyle, and as a result, they continued to enjoy long and fulfilling lives. Their story of longevity inspired people worldwide who came to Okinawa to learn about their secrets and incorporate them into their lives. Okinawa is a blue zone (one of the five zones in the world where most people have long lifespans) located on a small island in Japan.
