The Market Wellness Doctor's Weekly Health Tip

Visit the Market Wellness Doctor

Lifestyle Matters. How we eat, move, sleep and manage stress has an enormous impact on health and longevity.

Health Tip #27: Ikigai

Ikigai, a Japanese term translated as "a reason for being, the thing that you live for, and why you wake up in the morning." The intersection of what you are good at and what you love doing. (1)

Ikigai origins are associated with the Okinawans, one of the Blue Zone people groups with great longevity. (2) Nicoyans of Costa Rica, another Blue Zone people group with great longevity call it plan de vida. Studies suggest that ikigai has a positive impact on mortality as well as functional disability. It is thought that this strong sense of purpose may act as a buffer against stress and may reduce the chances of suffering from Alzheimer's disease, arthritis and stroke.

Find your passion and go for it in 2019!
