Answer to Question 1

Okinawan elders have an average body mass index (BMI) that ranges from 18 to 22 . The Okinawans stay lean by eating a low-calorie diet, practicing calorie control in a cultural habit known as hara hachi Bu (only eating until they are 80 full), and keeping physically active every day.

Answer to Question 2

A political action committee is the political arm of an interest group. It has the legal authority to raise funds from its members or employees to support candidates or political parties. The purpose of a PAC is to help elect candidates whose views are favorably aligned with the group's mission or goals.
