Did you know that the Japanese have the longest life expectancy in the world? It’s no coincidence that with good health, an ideal weight is also easily achieved. The Japanese have a 3% obesity rate compared to a whopping 35% in the USA.
So what do the Japanese do to stay healthy and slim?
1 Why The Japanese Diet Is Perfect For Staying Slim
- ZThe Japanese make their meals themselves. Traditionally they don’t eat processed ready meals or fast food. They cook their own meals. They eat simple food such as fish, rice and vegetables, soup and fruit.
- Most people generally return to their ideal weight once they start making all their own meals cooked with local fresh food regardless of the diet.
2 How The Japanese Squeeze In Regular Exercise Even With A Busy Lifestyle
The Japanese naturally do a lot more gentle exercise than Americans as cars are a luxury in Japan. So to commute to work, they either have to walk, cycle or get the train. Even on a train, they stand up due to lack of space.
There is a correlation between the amount of time you spend sitting every day and life expectancy. Because the Japanese stand and walk a lot more, they live longer. Regular exercise is also great for achieving an ideal weight.
