Hara hachi bun me
, (or hara hachi bu, and sometimes misspelled hari hachi bu), is a Confucian〔Buettner, pp. 7, 227〕 teaching that instructs people to eat until they are 80 percent full.〔 Roughly, in English the Japanese phrase translates to, “Eat until you are eight parts (out of ten) full” or “belly 80 percent full”.
==Okinawans==
As of the early 21st century, Okinawans in Japan, through practicing ''hara hachi bu'', are the only human population to have a self-imposed habit of calorie restriction.〔 They consume about 1,800〔 to 1,900 kilo-calories per day.〔Beuttner, p. 233〕 Their elders' typical body mass index (BMI) is about 18 to 22, compared to a typical BMI of 26 or 27 for adults over 60 in the United States. Okinawa has the world's highest proportion of centenarians, at approximately 50 per 100,000 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.okicent.org/cent.html )〕
Biochemist Clive McCay, a professor at Cornell University in the 1930s, reported that significant calorie restriction prolonged life in laboratory animals. Authors Bradley and Craig Wilcox and Makoto Suzuke believe that ''hara hachi bu'' may act as a form of calorie restriction, thus extending practitioners' life expectancy. They believe ''hara hachi bun me'' assists in keeping the average Okinawan's BMI low, and this is thought to be due to the delay in the stomach stretch receptors that help signal satiety. The result of not practising ''hara hachi bun me'' is a constant stretching of the stomach which in turn increases the amount of food needed to feel full.〔
