What we should learn from the Japanese?

Author: Jam | Filed under Health


The foremost thing we should learn from the Japanese is “Have a healthy diet to live longer.”

The Japanese Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry showed that the average life expectancy of Japanese women stood at 85.81 years in 2006, remaining the longest in the world for the 22nd year in a row. Life expectancy measures the expected length of life of an individual.

One reason for this is their healthy lifestyle including their traditional Japanese diet which is based around fish, rice and vegetables, and is very low in red meat, dairy products and processed foods. The Japanese foodways were also presented to the American public as a nation benefiting from all the dietary paradigms deemed politically correct.

    I always enjoyed Japanese food. Thank goodness my stomach can take on almost anything raw in the Japanese cuisine. ;)
