The International Health Organization publishes a report on population, obesity index and diet-related ratio every year. It is found that both Japan and China eat high-carbon water, and both like to eat rice, noodles and sushi. But Japanese people have the lowest obesity index, and China people have never seen it. What's going on here?
I. Comparison of Salt and Oil Quantity
The consumption of edible oil in Japan and China can be seen from breakfast meals. Japanese breakfast is divided into Japanese breakfast and European breakfast, which are all low-oil breakfasts, such as Japanese rice, overnight stains, soy sauce, egg rolls and so on. And the amount of edible oil is very small. Western breakfast is coffee, toast, bacon, raw eggs, only bacon fried oil.
China used a lot of cooking oil for breakfast. Take "premature" in Wuhan as an example. Oil steamed stuffed bun, fried dough sticks, fried noodles and fried dumplings are all related to oil. Unless you are from Guangdong, breakfast, morning tea or rice rolls is healthier.
Let's talk about salt. The amount of salt must be more in China. Now people's tastes are getting heavier and heavier, such as lobster, hot pot restaurant and mutton kebabs. The heavier the smell, the more people pay. It is very comfortable to drink with iced drinks or frozen beer, and the human body needs a long time to collapse.
Second, the comparison of eating fish.
Japan likes to eat sea fish, which is nutritious and fresh. Sashimi Sashimi is one of the dietary meanings in Japan. The biggest feature of eating fresh fish is that it can absorb the nutrition of fish to the greatest extent, especially omega-3 oleic acid and multivitamins in protein.
People in China like to stew, fry and dry fry fish, or make crispy fish. This behavior greatly reduces the nutritional value of fish. Especially crisp fish and submerged fish, not only can't taste the nutrients, but also it is very easy to ingest excessive sodium nitrite, which is harmful to health for a long time.
Third, how much to eat?
Japanese people are very particular about their diet. You will find that the kitchen utensils they use to hold ingredients are small and exquisite, and there are many side dishes in a meal, with various side dishes. On the one hand, it is to prevent people from swallowing too many dishes, on the other hand, it is to ensure that people can swallow more than 12 kinds of dishes a day.
The Japanese feel that it is necessary to swallow as many ingredients as possible every day in order to maintain physical and mental health. Including soy sauce, raw eggs, white rice, cold salad, sauce flavor and so on. The bigger the food, the more nutrients you eat. But in order to ensure that there is not too much food, a meal with 5 or 6 small cold dishes is a feature.
Fourth, eat midnight snack contrast.
Some people in Japan eat midnight snack, and these people are generally working-class. Drink in Japanese food until late at night, and then continue to drink in another shop. Students' snack is beef Lamian Noodles, beer sprinkling, chicken chops and other side dishes. China people's snack culture and art are very prosperous, such as kebabs, lobsters and crab porridge, which are very common. Eating midnight snack at night is easy to get fat.
By comparison, we can understand why the obesity index of Japanese people is lower than that of China because they usually eat high-carbon water food. Japan is not without big fat people. Just to check, the obesity index of Japanese people is the lowest in the world, and the food they eat is very nutritious. This method of feeding thin people can still be used for reference.
