What are the basic fundamentals/components of a Japanese Diet?

I want to live longer and healthier.

[Anonymous No.5498670]

Nothing special about it honestly. Huge amounts of basically empty white rice, fair amount of processed foods. But they don't eat to excess and don't load everything with sugar, plus they have better access to health care and make wiser choices in general than Americans.

[Anonymous No.5498676]

>>5498670
Also, it's probably fair to point out that they have different cultural perceptions about end of life care; grandparents more frequently live with someone in the family, which keeps them emotionally engaged and socially active and makes it easier to make doctor's visits etc.

There was that chart somewhere of the diet of Okinawas somewhere comparing to regular diet.

Also they didnt eat in excess. Modestly.

Eat lots of veggies, use moisturizer and sunblock. Retinol is the only clinically proven substance to reduce and prevent wrinkles, but it's deactivated by UV, so only bother with creams that you wear overnight.

>>5498696
Not on their own, and they don't eat extravagant amounts of white rice. But it is basically wasted calories if you're some kind of person who is obsessed with min/maxing nutrition like it's an RPG.

Personally I still enjoy the odd batch of homemade sushi rice. I normally lean on short grain brown rice though.

Op, if you really want to live longer and healthier, than the most important thing for you to start consuming is massive amounts of semen. It's extremely nutritious, and gathering it provides valuable exercise. This is the real secret to longevity.

[Anonymous No.5498707]

>>5498699
Yep. Shifting gears here, one of the things France gets unquestionable right is their relationship with food. Not even cooking, although they're pretty handy with it, but the way that they don't really snack and instead sit down and take their time to eat, often making it a social occasion with family and friends.

It's healthy in more ways than just nutrition. It's hugely beneficial towards social cohesion and keeping the children socially engaged, and pays off in terms of their success at school, self-esteem, and just so many other ways that I could never even list off the top of my head.

Sit down and eat with your parents OP, it might just cure your NEETdom.

The Okinawan diet consist of low-fat, low-salt foods, such as fish, tofu, and seaweed. Okinawans are known for their longevity. Individuals live longer on this Japanese island than anywhere else in the world. Five times as many Okinawans live to be 100 as in the rest of Japan, and the Japanese are already the longest-lived ethnic group of them all.[18] There are 34.7 centenarians for every 100,000 inhabitants, which is the highest ratio worldwide. The possible explanations to this fact is the diet, low-stress lifestyle, caring community, activity, and spirituality of the inhabitants of the island.

Okinawa is definitely the province to take diet advice from. Very little meat/dairy, lots of healthy plant foods. Their sweet potato isn't the same as our orange one though. The purple pigment in their sweet potatoes is the same as what you find in blueberries; phytochemicals called anthocyanins that act as powerful antioxidants and also can prevent certain cancers and prevent cognitive decline in old age. Orange sweet potatoes are great too, just not AS good

Yes, both Japanese and Mediterranean diet seems to have a positive effect on longevity, probably fish is one of the factors.

There was an extensive study where they compared the mortality rate of different diets: people who eat meat often, occasional meat eaters, fish eaters, vegetarians and vegans. The group with highest longevity was the fish eaters followed by occasional meat eaters and vegetarians with meat eaters and vegans tied in last.

Turned out that the said benefits in longevity usually attributed to vegans don't come from veganism but instead comes from other healthy habits adopted by these groups like stop smoking, exercise, etc.

No matter the diet, the thing that matters most is the quantity and quality of plant foods. A "fish eater" can eat 3 ounces of fish a week and have an otherwise plant-based diet full of whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables while you can call someone a vegan who eats nothing but white bread, oil, and soy meat. Other people brought up the centinarians of Okinawa, but if you look at their diet, they're practically vegan. 15 grams (half an ounce) of fish a day isn't what allows them to live so long, it's the reliance on sweet potato for the majority of their calories and a healthy intake of green and yellow vegetables.

[Anonymous No.5500090]

How about inuits? Healthy hearts, no hypertension and almost no vegetables at all and their not so high lifespan was proved to be due to genetic factors, not diet. They get all the western people problems if they eat western diet too.

That's the exact opposite of the Dutch famine study conclusions.

Yes, they eat a lot of pork. My grandfather used to love bacon (although they prepare it with soy sauce instead of making crispy bacon).

Fish were not as common as In Japan but I'm not sure how much of it was western influence or real Okinawan culture.

It would probably be helpful to explain what "hara hachibu" means. It literally means 80% stomach, meaning you eat to 80% fullness. But this ideology isn't unique to Okinawa; it's used throughout Japan.

By the way, a lot is not the same as a lot means for others. A lot I mean every week and not that they overeat it.

They used to more eat bacon than me but in a single meal I can eat more pork than they eat in a week. I just don't eat pork every week. They ate more rice than me though.

Not claiming to be an expert on this but I wonder it's also a cultural perception on the causes of being fat.

The rise in trying to justify obesity's cause as purely genetic is much more a Western (American/European) concept than an Asian one. The Asian (with particular reference to the South-China and East Asia) is that while genetics may influence who you are, it is ultimately still in your control. Being genetically more prone to becoming doesn't give you a free pass to let you become fat, it just means that you need to try harder to maintain your body.

Also the ones in west blaming genetics are mostly just finding excuses. Obesity epidemic is a very recent thing so it is more related to changes in lifestyle than genes.

Like: Your great grandfathers weren't land-whales, do you want me to believe that this gene popped up in the last 50 years all over America out of nowhere?

it's not the TV. It's a community announcement system run by city hall.

Wow, I can't find ANY mention of it online. I'll have to take a picture of it next time I'm in a house that has one.

At 7am and 9pm, they broadcast music through the whole town. At lunchtime they have announcements. If there's an "emergency" (someone's house caught fire 12 miles away) there is a loud as fuck alarm.

They really don't. In the U.S., if you have cancer, the doctor will at least tell you. In Japan, the doctor will consider the cost to the national health system and your likelihood of survival, and may refuse even to tell you about the cancer.

Not joking, they let a friend's mother die. She didn't even know why she was so sick until she went to Singapore to get a real medical opinion.

They have their own bacteria culture that their intestines are more used to than europe/murrica.

They can consume lots of soya everyday for their whole life without a problem, if you did it you would probably get some kind of cancer after 10-15 years.

Find a way to work with the food within your own food culture, instead of being a plebian who thinks japanese food is healthier than our own, stop going to fast food places is a good start.
