   We have travelled for about a month in Japan last year. They work under constant stress, lots of commute on public transit. I also did not feel their food was that healthy, lots of fried food and sweets. But the portion is small compared to what we would normally eat in a meal.

      I don’t get the bit about public transport. Do you mean it’s unhealthy because public transport is stressful?

         If we're talking about the extremely elderly, it seems better for them to be taking public transport than driving.

            The extremely elderly are staying at home or a nursing home, and occasionally and delicately transported by car.

            But lots of walking in their less elderly days may partially explain their longevity.
