NO DRINKING AFTER MEALS

The Japanese drink before meals, as drinking during or after a meal cools down the body and hampers the digestive process.

HOT BATHS

The Japanese take baths in hot water (40 C) which relaxes their muscles and nerves

The Japanese know that the saying “You are what you eat” is true, and they follow it strictly. Here are the main ingredients in their diet

RICE

As we already mentioned, rice plays a big part in the Japanese diet. It reduces the levels of LDL cholesterol, sodium and saturated fats and prevents numerous cardiovascular problems. Brown rice is even healthier and will stock up your body with essential nutrients.

FRUITS

The Japanese sure love fruits. They eat fresh fruit in general, which is rich in fiber, antioxidants and other important nutrients and low on sodium, fat and calories, which makes them the perfect snack.

NOODLES

Noodles are another important part of the Japanese cuisine. The Japanese usually eat buckwheat noodles which have fewer calories than regular noodles.

VEGETABLES

Every Japanese meal must include a big portion of vegetables. On average, the Japanese consume 5 times more veggies than Americans which reflects on their health. Their favorite vegetables are broccoli, bok choy and cabbage as well as seaweed.

FISH

Fish contain a lot of omega-3 fatty acids that help the Japanese look so young.

GREEN TEA

This tea is perfect for weight loss due to the presence of antioxidants. This is the same reason why it’s often a part of weight loss supplements.

As you can see, the Japanese secret is eating in moderation and eating fresh and healthy food. If you’re trying to lose weight naturally, you should definitely try following the Japanese lifestyle and diet.
