According to the latest statistics of the International Obesity Organization, among the developed countries, the obesity rate of French women is 1 1%, that of the United States is 34%, and that of Japan is only 3%, which is the lowest. In addition, the average life expectancy of Japanese women is 85 years, which is also the highest. Italy and France are 84 years old, Sweden, Switzerland and Australia are 83 years old ... who is the most qualified woman in the world to say that she is the slimmest? Naomi Moriyama, a Japanese woman living in the United States, has thrown out a book, Japanese Women Are Not Fat or Old: Japanese Diet from Mom's Kitchen, which tells the secret of traditional diet to help keep fit and lose weight. Considering the Japanese obsession with food, it is strange that their obesity rate is very low. Naomami Moriyama said that most of the reasons lie in the nutritional value of the traditional Japanese diet. Secret 1: The traditional diet is low in calories (food is fresh first). Naomi Moriyama said that when she went to college in the United States, she gained 12 kg, but after returning to Japan after graduation, she quickly recovered to her former appearance. She attributed this to the delicious food cooked by her mother. Naomi Moriyama said that the traditional diet in Japan includes fish, vegetables, fruits, rice and soybeans. Naomami Moriyama believes that a very important reason lies in the different shopping habits of the East and the West. She said: Japanese traditional culture advocates "freshness first", so Japanese women usually like to buy more fish, vegetables and fruits and less red meat, candy, biscuits and processed food. The kitchen in Japan is not big and there are not many places to store food, so we go to the supermarket to buy fresh vegetables. On the contrary, in America, people like to buy food for several weeks at a time and put it in the refrigerator. Secret 2: Eat 80% full (small amount of food). Speaking of eating, Naomi Moriyama mentioned a sentence: "It's best to eat eight points full." Simply put, don't eat too much. In addition, the difference in food portions between the East and the West is also one of the important reasons. Naomi Moriyama said: "In the United States, the increase in food in the past few decades has indirectly led to an increase in obesity. The Japanese are doing better in this respect. The Japanese consume an average of 2,700 calories a day, while the Americans consume an average of 3,700 calories a day, with a difference of 1000 calories. Naomi Moriyama suggested a Zen-like attitude towards food: choose the freshest ingredients and cook them carefully. Don't wolf down your food. Learn to appreciate beautiful dishes while tasting delicious food. Beautiful appearance is the source of life for Japanese cuisine. Secret 3: Walking and cycling are very important. During the writing process, Naomi Moriyama and her husband interviewed 30 experts who studied life expectancy, health and nutrition. She said: "They attribute the longevity of the Japanese to several main factors: diet and lifestyle, close social and spiritual ties, developed medical and health care system, and perhaps a little heredity and exercise. Compared with westerners, Japanese prefer walking or cycling.
