Japanese Diet is Good for High Blood Pressure
Where are all the fat Japanese?
Japanese Diet: Eat for Life
Japanese who eat in the traditional manner have the highest life expectancy in the world, and their longevity has much to do with their low fat diet (especially low in saturated fat). They also eat twice as much fish as meat. Westerners, by comparison, have on average 47 times more meat than fish! Vegetables play a primary role; aubergine, bamboo shoots, various mushrooms, sweet potato and Chinese cabbage. No unnatural additives are added; flavour is added in the form of herbs, spices and natural condiments such as ginger, lemon, sesame seed and mustard.High Food Variety
A recent Japanese survey of the diets of 200 elderly women revealed they consumed a variety of over 100 biologically different foods per week.By contrast, in most western countries the recommended minimum is only 30. Research shows that the higher the variety, the less risk of many diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many cancers. A low fat intake and a high intake of soy (with protective phyto-oestrogens), antioxidants and fibre, plus high food variety all keep the Japanese slim and trim and at a low risk for illness. A low intake of meat is a major factor in the low bowel cancer rate in Japan. People in the West need to recognise the benefits of a high food variety, with more fish, less meat, and especially more fruit, vegetables and grains with minimal saturated fat.
The Western World: How we eat today
Experts believe that many of the ills we suffer from in modern industrialized western societies are the result, in part at least, of the way we live. In particular, they point the finger at two main aspects: diet and lack of physical activity.
The Fat War
We are killing ourselves with monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats, hydrogenated fats and now trans fats. Earlier this
month, McDonald's paid out $8.5m (£4.5m) to settle a law suit in San Francisco over using trans fats in its cooking. And health experts
now warn that these "killer" fats are the most dangerous foodstuffs we might consume. Trans fats are found in their highest quantities
in processed foods that contain large quantities of hydrogenated oils, such as ready-made cakes, chips, pastries, pies, chocolates, sweets
and ice cream.
A little goes a long way
Modern day technology has taken us places but before this, exercise was not something you planned and fitted into your schedule when you
could, but an unavoidable part of everyday life. Now, we don't have time to do the very thing that would ensure healthy, stress and disease
free bodies. We need to protect ourselves from the physical consequences of ageing and make physical activity a routine part of life.
