This is why the Japanese live longer in average!!

The traditional Japanese diet is said to be one of the healthiest in the world. Have you ever wondered: well, is Japanese food really that healthy? If so, why? And just what do they eat anyway?

According to UK Daily Mail in 2002, “96% fewer men suffer coronary heart disease in Japan than in Britain” AND
“Only six in 100,000 Japanese women contract breast cancer - 20 times fewer than in Britain”
The two most common causes for health problems in relation to obesity and heart diseases are animal fat and sugar.
The traditional Japanese diet does not include meat (or at least ‘red’ meat), except in rare examples and those dishes are considered as foreign dishes anyway.Traditional Japanese meals include alot of fresh vegetable, tofu, and fish, either raw or cooked in very little fat. Small portions of rice or noodle is consumed 3 meals a day.
The magic of Japan-style eating is a healthier balance of filling, delicious low calorie foods and the beautifully displayed dishes. In other words, you are also "eating with your eyes", which results in the cutting down of the speed and quantity of food consumed.
