About

I learned that in the blog www.tascadaelvira.blogspot.com that in addition to raw fish, the Japanese island of Okinawa consume a lot of rind, feet and pig's head. The cartilage and gelatinous pork pieces are super rich in protein and collagen and contain no fat. If thoses Japanese are famous it is because many of them are old (healthy). So eat as much of these pieces of cartilage that crunch under your teeth, and you will increase your chance of growing especially old and, the cherry on the top, to stay fit.
