1. Family
The fact that the Japanese spend a great deal of time with their families has an enormous influence on their happiness and quality of life. These two things have their fair share of importance in life expectancy. After all, enjoying quality time with our favorite people promotes good mental and physical health. For older people, having the family around is even more important – unlike what happens in the United States of America (for example.) In Japan, having multiple generations living in the same household is quite common. _ In addition to all this, we must also consider that there has been a great government effort to increase the average life expectancy in Japan through a huge investment in the health system. The country has one of the most efficient healthcare systems in the world, with high-quality medical services available to the population at an affordable cost. The investment made in health infrastructures and technology allows their doctor to detect and prevent a series of complicated health issues in a timely manner – it’s also worth mentioning that Japan has several leading experts in numerous different medical fields. Many health awareness programs have helped the population realize the importance of taking good care of their health and know what to do in their daily lives to maintain it for as long as possible. All this has contributed to making Japan one of the heathiest places on Earth.
