Scientists are trying to work out exactly what elderly Japanese people so health, and whether there is a lesson to be learnt from their lifestyles for the rest of us. Should we make any changes to our eating habits, for instance, or go jogging each day before breakfast? Is there some secret ingredient in the Japanese diet that is particularly beneficial to the human body? Another factor which contributes to the rapid population aging in Japan is a decline in birthrate. Although longer life should be celebrated, it is actually considered a social problem.

The other more serious outcomes of this can be the triggering of the body’s acute stress response, which raises blood pressure and heart rate as the body and brain go into a state of hyperarousal.
