Japanese cuisine has always attracted world attention for its healthy image. Recently, "Forbes" published an article saying that Japanese cuisine ranks first in the world's dietary health list. The obesity rate caused by food is only 1.5%, and the life expectancy of Chinese people reaches 82 years. At the same time, research points out that the average life span of Japanese people who eat foreign diets will be reduced by 17 years, while the physical fitness of foreigners who eat Japanese diets can be significantly improved. What are the health secrets of Japanese food?

Use less oil in cooking methods. Japanese people like to eat raw food, and their cooking methods are mainly boiling, steaming, and baking, and rarely use oil. The Chinese love to fry and stir-fry, and often add more oil than the original oil in the food.

Cereal staple food is the basis. Different from the Western diet, the basis of the Japanese diet is plant-based food, mainly rice, supplemented by a variety of sushi and rice balls. In addition, ramen, udon, etc. are also staple foods that Japanese people like. Staple foods based on cereals can provide the human body with a large amount of carbohydrates and proteins, and at the same time do not contain cholesterol and fat, which will not increase the burden on the human body.

Soy foods can fight cancer. After China's soybeans were introduced to Japan, they were even more popular. In Japan, tofu is an essential ingredient in miso soup. Japanese people also like to eat fermented beans, such as natto, miso, etc. Studies have confirmed that these soy foods can well supplement calcium, lower cholesterol, and have a very good effect on preventing cancer.

Eating more grilled fish is the most nutritious. Although sashimi is world-famous, grilled fish is what Japanese people eat most. Japanese grilled fish is grilled over low heat for a long time without adding any oil. Research confirms that grilled fish is the healthiest way to eat fish. Compared with steaming, braised, boiled and other methods commonly used by Chinese people, grilled fish can better protect fatty acids, proteins, vitamins and minerals.

Vinegar mixed with seaweed is healthier. "Eat the sea by the sea", in addition to fresh vegetables, the Japanese also eat a lot of seaweeds such as wakame, mostly mixed with vinegar. These seaweeds contain a large amount of soluble dietary fiber, polysaccharides, and rich minerals, which are very beneficial for lowering cholesterol, eliminating toxins from the body, and supplementing nutrients. And moderate amounts of jealousy can also soften blood vessels and lower blood pressure.

The most traditional daily pattern of Japanese cuisine is "three dishes and one soup". The first soup mainly refers to miso soup, and the third dish is the main dish plus two side dishes. The main dishes are mainly fish, and the most important method is grilled fish.
