This goes back to Japanese eating habits.

People think that Japanese people always eat raw and cold food such as fish and sushi, but the Japanese diet is very colorful rather healthy for the moment.

The characteristics of the Japanese diet can be summarized as follows: a wide variety of foods, small portions, a fine diet, and a wide variety of fish, meat, vegetables, beans, fruits, and rice and noodles, all served in small dishes and bowls.

Let's start with this small portion size.

The Japanese generally like to use small bowls and plates as food containers, and although there are many dishes on the table, the portions are very small and are often eaten in small portions. Japanese children are taught from an early age to eat only seven or eight portions, and their principle of eating is not to fill their stomachs, but to stop when they realize that their enthusiasm for food has diminished.

The benefits of eating less can avoid weight gain, obesity is actually a lot of harm, obesity and many diseases, like hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and even cancer is closely linked to the appropriate weight for health is very important. But on the contrary, our diet, many people are accustomed to overeating, resulting in many people have a general belly, abdominal obesity will cause great health risks, so it is still recommended, eat seven or eight minutes full.

Second, eat a light diet

Japanese cuisine is very concerned about maintaining the original flavor of the food, and does not advocate adding too much seasoning, and is mainly light. The color and surface of the dishes are especially demanding, and not only do they use a variety of very delicate containers to hold the food, but they also have very delicate considerations for the shape, arrangement, and color matching of the food. The beauty of Japanese cuisine, which is so fine that it looks like a painting, is something that first-time visitors to Japan often cannot bear to spoil.

Eating a light diet and reducing the intake of oil and salt is actually very beneficial to blood lipids and blood pressure. High blood lipids are the main culprits of cardiovascular disease, while high blood pressure is often referred to as the silent killer, the number of patients with high blood pressure in China has reached 270 million, and many of this huge number have a lot to do with a high-salt diet.

Third, dietary diversity

As we all know, food is the basis of all cultures. "Omnivory" is a uniquely human trait and an important means of sustaining human existence.The dietary structure of the Japanese is well worth exploring. This is because it can reflect the mental structure, social structure and the way of understanding things of the Japanese people, and reflect the cultural character and cultural characteristics of Japan. Fish, meat, vegetables, beans, fruits and rice and noodles

A varied diet can ensure adequate sources of nutrition, many people like to eat meat, and do not like to eat vegetables and fruits, excessive intake of saturated fat can cause cardiovascular disease, while a large number of vegetables and fruits can ensure dietary fiber, improve blood glucose, blood lipid balance.

I am Dr. Huang Zhiyan, dedicated to explaining the complexity of disease knowledge in plain words to help you manage your body. Your praise is my greatest motivation! Also, if you have family members who struggle with longevity, please pass this article on to them!

I am a registered dietitian of the Chinese Nutrition Society, and I have some intuitive views on this issue, and I can say a few words about diet. In general, the Japanese people's exercise is not really low, especially from elementary school onwards a variety of sports is more, although more time after adulthood busy with work, but can let them maintain the status of the world's longest-living country is a few more key conditions.

① Eat less

It's hard to see fat people in Japan, and this has a lot to do with the small amount of food they eat. Look at Japan's so-called Japanese food to know that their general meal size is at most a little more than half of our average amount. Goose many of us eat every meal to support, not support can also be 9 ~ 10 percent full, too much food in addition to the burden on the stomach and intestines, but also to the liver, kidneys, pancreas and even the heart have brought a lot of burdens, but also the main reason for excess calories.

② Eat hygienically

Japanese people are not prone to food hygiene problems because they eat a more sophisticated and hygienic diet. Although there was a serious case of heavy metal poisoning in aquatic products in the middle of the last century, they have since learned a lesson and are doing better.

③ Eat "cold".

Many of us like to eat hot food, or even scalding hot food, the biggest problem with eating such food regularly is that it causes significant damage to the epithelial cells of the mouth, esophagus, stomach and other digestive organs, and is an important trigger for inflammation, ulcers, and the setting up of cancerous lesions in these parts of the body.

④Match well

Japanese people have a better diet mix, but also the world's earliest implementation of student nutrition meal, the highest ratio of per capita nutritionist for the whole population. All people attach importance to nutrition and health results in the diet with a better match, it is difficult to see hand-meat, big elbow, roasted leg of lamb and other hard dishes, and pay more attention to fresh fruits and vegetables and coarse grains intake.

⑤Many natural seasonings

Many of the seasonings in Japanese food borrow from the processing of seasonings in traditional Chinese food, such as brewed vinegar, soy sauce, miso, miso, natto, edamame, and so on. Although monosodium glutamate (MSG) was invented in the early 1900s by Kikuyo Ikeda in Japan, not many fresh flavors are used in Japanese food, unlike many of us who put salt and soy sauce in stir-fries and soups, as well as MSG or chicken essence.

⑥ Low salt and low fat

Japanese food is lighter in nature, and fried food is rare except for tempura, and tempura is a food that is heated quickly and at high temperature in a very short period of time, unlike squirrel fish and dry-fried croquettes, which are deep-fried for a long time and many times. We are now emphasizing on advising the public on "three reductions", that is, reducing sugar, salt and oil, and now Chinese food oil, salt and sugar have become an issue that needs to be taken seriously by the whole population.

⑦ High intake of marine products

Japan's natural environment is a factor of eating by the sea, and the intake of aquatic products is among the highest in the world. The biggest characteristic of aquatic products is high protein, low fat, saturated fatty acid content is particularly low, but the DHA content is high, especially fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish, and it is rare that such aquatic products in the Japanese meal cooked at high temperatures is very little. Eating aquatic products and reducing the intake of pork, beef and mutton are important measures to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Another key is not to blindly exercise strenuously.

Many people around us either do not exercise, or hate to run 10 kilometers every day, every day fitness, but do not know how to exercise nutrition, perennial large exercise is a threat to cardiovascular health. In particular, the body will also produce a large number of free radicals, these substances is to promote accelerated cellular aging and apoptosis is an important trigger, unless you adhere to the exercise at the same time, light diet, eat more vitamins and phytochemicals rich in fruits and vegetables and grains, and according to the form of exercise, the amount of exercise to choose the timely energy, sugar supplementation, and many of us are just the opposite, in order to "value "Their own fitness results, but instead of exercise after what are afraid to eat.

This article is just to talk about diet and nutrition, not about national feelings, do not like to spray.

My grandpa lived to 95 grandma 101 and their quote was that life is about immobility. Then again not many athletes live long lives!

1, according to the statistics of WHO (World Health Organization) in 2018, the first place is Japan, with an average life expectancy of 84.2 years, while Okinawa Island in the Japanese region has the highest average life expectancy of about 89 years. The top ten countries also include Singapore (82.9) and South Korea (82.7), and the Hong Kong region of China is about the same as Japan.

2. In fact, the suicide rates of Japan and South Korea are among the highest in the world, ranking 10th and 26th according to WHO data, while China is outside the top 100. It can be seen that the work and social pressure in Japan and Korea are very high, and longevity has nothing to do with work and social pressure or leisure.

3, in the longevity of the top ten countries, 33% of the rate of Confucianism, especially Japan, South Korea and Singapore are Confucianism of loyalty and filial piety in the first place.

4, In the Chinese New Year of 1981, Lee Kuan Yew said in a televised address, "When filial piety is not taken seriously, the system of survival becomes weak and the civilized way of life becomes crude."

5. Many people attribute longevity to diet, exercise and a leisurely living environment, but more important is family life. Filial piety to parents and loyalty to the country make society more harmonious, families happier and living more meaningful.

6. My view is that the value of life is in the commitment to the environment in which you live (country, group, community) as well as in being recognized and affirmed, so that you can be motivated to live.

7. It is common in the medical clinic that some patients are more resistant to disease than others, with greater tolerance and higher chances of recovery, depending on the willpower and vigor of life.

8. The Tzu said: "The life of the benevolent is long. "Zhongyong" records: Zi said: "Shun his great filial piety and .... He will get his life." The Western world's guide to life, the Bible, actually has a similar viewpoint to Confucianism, Ephesians 6: "Honor your father and mother, that you may be blessed and have long life on earth." Longevity is a reflection of the blessings of filial piety and the realization of why and for whom one lives.

Because longevity is a function of three factors: genetics, proper diet, and moderate exercise, and moderate exercise is only a small part of the equation, the Japanese rarely exercise but live longer.

Nutrition people due to different physical, living habits, economic conditions, so I generally on other people's health experience I do not care much, I have more than eighty years old, because of one person life, lazy, do not like to exercise, but the heart does not serve the old, I play WeChat, with Alipay, play computer, do animation, with five pens and netizens to communicate, but never care about what to maintain, I am full two a day a pour, steamed bread in the morning, rice, and at night to eat noodles! I basically don't stir-fry my noodles, but when I put them down, then I put in the vegetables, add some oil and salt, and then it's OK. My Appearance is: food is not in the essence, can eat on the line, the body is not strong, no disease is Ning, the body of life, arbitrary is the Zong, life is not orderly, cultivate the body is lazy, leisure have fun, spend the day is not empty, the chest is not a big ambition, do not play with life, no damage to the body of the chronic habits, no insult to the virtue of the ugly behavior, indifferent no right, to build up the spirit of the spirit of the gas, the self said that the ability to move on the line. I said to my children, I go to the hospital as a minor illness, such as incurable diseases, let nature take its course, there is no need to live a few more days, spend money, suffer. People will die, life will die, long and short, look at the quality, go with nature, the heart is comfortable ，，，，，，.

Does exercise always lead to longevity? This is a misconception that many people have about healthy exercise!

The human body is a whole, and its health and longevity depends on three aspects of factors related to exercise, namely physical activity, breathing adjustment, and mental adjustment, in addition to genetic inheritance, which is also the traditional gong method of regulating the body, breathing and spirit! Only when all these three aspects are taken care of is it possible to live a long and healthy life! According to the title, not exercising does not mean that the other two aspects are not doing well. Maintaining the basic body posture while breathing well and regulating the mind well, longevity can be expected!

On the flip side, does exercise necessarily lead to a long and healthy life? The answer is certainly not necessarily, only the right exercise can do healthy and long life. Many people in the park for sports exercise, often bent over low, crooked crotch don't leg, this is not in sports health, but in sports injury, not to mention longevity! In the hospital, often seen storm walking and some other sports programs caused by sports injuries, can rely on this to gain longevity?

So living a long and healthy life has everything to do with exercise, but even more to do with proper exercise and overall wellness!

It doesn't necessarily mean they didn't exercise, maybe they've included a day's worth of exercise in their job

Indeed, Japan is very quiet, there is no square dance in the morning and at night there is no walking army, indeed the Japanese do not seem to like sports. Why the Japanese life expectancy is the first in the world, may be the main dietary habits determine it, Japanese cuisine is very light, mainly a variety of green vegetables and seafood products, there is no habit of overeating, a variety of ingredients is very small in number, but with a reasonable, living habits are very consistent with the Chinese Taoist culture of health care, seem to be very mindful of the disease are relying on the body to heal itself as the main supplement to the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and seldom use of antibiotics, and most importantly, the Japanese people eat green food, almost no use of pesticides, fertilizers and fertilizer and walking army. Antimicrobials, the most important thing is that Japanese people eat green food, almost no use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and hormones.

Japanese long life is that year of birth, now according to 90 years old, long life should be born in 1930, then Japan's food and drink, living and other habits from our country, right. The secret of Japanese people's longevity originates from our country's medical code "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine", because they did, so they can live a long life.

And since the surrender of Japan in World War II, the United States became the master of Japan, brought the Western dietary habits into Japan, so you are looking at the Japanese who were born after the surrender, how much longevity there can still be, come not to come to jump off the building, too much.

Since 1999, more than 30,000 people have died by suicide each year in Japan, and in 2003 the number reached an all-time high of 34,427 people. What is particularly worrying is that the suicide rate among Japanese youth is on a sharp upward trend, with the suicide rate among youth under 19 years of age increasing at a rate of about 25% per year. The Japanese suicide rate is the highest among developed countries

Why is that so? This is the Eastern physique has to live according to the habits of Westerners, that is not looking for death.

Westerners drink ice wine before meals, eat cold food, such habits, can not stand ah, our body's vitality, fire, are so a little bit of consumption, and in the end, the fire of life is dying, no interest in life, might as well be dead good, so they are all young and light.

This also explains why the same, why Westerners why so fat, as long as the most typical married women, not married before really want to figure to have a figure, can be married, immediately after the hair, and Westerners are super fat body type, that is because usually drink eat too much cold food, people cold, know that the cover was added clothing, people in the body of the internal organs of the five viscera the same Oh, because the viscera is too cold, so their own Plus cover clothing, that is to play a long meat.
