Where does eating Japanese food lead to longevity come from?

Eating habits of Japanese (1) Japanese food tastes delicious, keeps its original flavor, and is light and not greasy. Many dishes are eaten raw and light with little oil, which is one of the characteristics of typical Japanese diet. In China, oil is widely used in cooking food, but it is rarely used in Japanese cuisine. In Japanese cuisine, oil is a refined cuisine made by Buddhism, and the oil used in refined cuisine is vegetable oil, such as rapeseed oil, pile oil and soybean oil. Although there are cooking methods using oil like this, there are not many. The Japanese mainly cook, steam, roast and eat raw food, and seldom fry in oil, trying to keep the inherent taste and characteristics of raw materials. These practices determine that the Japanese diet must have the characteristics of less oil, freshness and lightness. In typical Japanese cuisine, it is very important to keep the taste of raw materials, so it is often eaten raw or slightly cooked. The "raw egg" eaten by egg yolk protein is one of the more representative ways to eat. Raw food has become the best way to keep the original flavor of food. Take sashimi as an example. Japanese people cut fresh fish, shellfish and other seafood into pieces of moderate size, and then dip them in seasonings to eat. (2) Japanese cuisine is diverse, small in quantity and high in quality. Japanese people pay attention to diversity in diet, with staple food, non-staple food, side dishes, fruits and desserts available in small quantity and high quality. Watching the Japanese eat small bowls and saucers set a table, dazzling and not disturbing. It pays attention to color matching and artistic display. Exquisite tableware enables people to enjoy a work of art and get a beautiful enjoyment while meeting the dietary requirements. So some people say that Japanese food is tasted with eyes, while Chinese food is tasted with tongue. (3) Japanese cuisine is very seasonal. Take the Japanese favorite fish as an example. They eat steel fish in spring, pine fish in early summer, eel in midsummer, arowana in early autumn, swordfish in mid-autumn, warp fish in late autumn and puffer fish in winter. Other seafood and fresh vegetables also vary with the seasons. (4) The choice of Japanese cuisine is mainly seafood and fresh vegetables, supplemented by meat. The choice of Japanese cuisine is mainly seafood and fresh vegetables, supplemented by meat. Mainly beef, followed by chicken, pork is used less. Generally speaking, Japanese diet is called plant-based diet. The emergence of "plant food system" in Japanese diet began in the era when there were few edible poultry in Wensheng period. Common ways to eat in the world, such as meat and visceral food, have not been popularized in Japan, mainly by eating local rice. Japan is a country that eats fish. Japan is an island country surrounded by the sea. The formation of its unique flavor is inseparable from its geographical environment and traditional oriental culture. Japan is rich in seafood, "Japan is a nation that eats fish", which can be seen in news media and other places at present. With the vigorous development of fishery production in Japan, the import of aquatic products in Japan has increased rapidly, and the total amount of fish food in Japan is obviously higher than that in other countries. According to statistics, Japan's per capita annual consumption is about 70 kilograms, which is more than twice that of France. With the sharp increase of domestic and foreign production, Japan is known as the world aquatic kingdom, and its citizens are also named as "fish-eating nation". Japanese people like to eat fish. Steamed fish, grilled fish, fried fish slices and fillet soup are all very popular, among which sashimi is a unique raw food dish in Japan. Second, the relationship between Japanese eating habits and health and longevity (1) keeps the original flavor and protects the nutritional components of food. Japanese cuisine respects the original flavor of food very much, emphasizes the balance of food nutrition, and meets the health needs of human beings. This method of raw food can not only keep the freshness and original flavor of seafood completely, but also protect its nutrients to the maximum extent. In contrast, people in China mainly fry, stir-fry, cook and stir-fry food, which can be described as varied and varied. Whether frying or frying, oil is essential for this cooking method. Therefore, the characteristics of Chinese food are too greasy, too salty and poor nutrition. Some people even like to eat high-fat and high-cholesterol foods and preserved foods, which is very harmful to health. If we choose the same taste and nutrition, perhaps most people will choose the taste, even if they know it is bad for their health, they hope to have a good meal. (2) Small quantity, high quality and comprehensive nutrition Japanese cuisine is small in quantity, high in quality and incomplete in nutrition, and the collocation is very reasonable, taking into account all aspects of nutrition needed by the human body. Even for ordinary Japanese families, breakfast is unambiguous, rich in variety and comprehensive in nutrition. If you can't even meet this basic requirement, you are not a qualified housewife. Seasonal seafood and fresh vegetables are healthy. Japanese food is seasonal. Food should pay attention to "qi" and "taste", because both food and medicine are composed of smells. Only when the smell of medicine and food is in season, that is, when it grows up and conforms to the solar terms, can the essence of heaven and earth be obtained. There is a famous saying in Huangdi Neijing called "preparing things for the elderly", which means that medicines and food should be prepared according to the gasification of yin and yang in nature, and things that conform to the solar terms are things that conform to the gasification of yin and yang in heaven and earth. This kind of medicine and food are of the same origin, with the essence of heaven and earth, mellow smell and high nutritional value, so people should eat seasonal dishes. Confucius famously said, "From time to time, don't eat." In other words, don't eat out-of-season food. Growth promoters are often used in out-of-season vegetables, but too many growth promoters are harmful to human body. (4) The plant-based diet in Japan is very healthy. Japanese people seldom eat poultry, and meat and visceral foods are not popular. So as to lower and regulate the cholesterol in the body, avoid taking too much uric acid due to eating meat, and avoid increasing the incidence of renal failure and kidney calculi. In addition, people's physique is alkaline, eating too much meat is easy to make the physique acidic, which will increase the chance of getting sick. Vegetarian food helps to neutralize the acidity and alkalinity of the constitution. The benefits of vegetarianism are well known, but an incorrect diet is equally harmful. For example, eating processed products with too many processing procedures will not only reduce the nutritional components, but also affect the human body with chemicals and pigments contained in them; Excessive use of grease in cooking will burden the human body. Therefore, when you are vegetarian, don't use too complicated cooking procedures and eat more fresh vegetables; The oil must be suitable and the raw materials should be coarse. Moreover, the production method of Japanese cuisine is the most in line with human health. Eating fish and beef is good for your health. Japan is a country that eats fish. Eating more fish is good for your health, especially marine fish, which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which is very conducive to reducing blood lipids, thus greatly reducing the prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Among meat, beef is the most eaten by Japanese. Beef is high in protein, but low in fat. It is also rich in sarcosine, alanine, vitamin B6, B 12, carnitine, potassium, zinc, iron, magnesium and other nutrients. It can enhance immunity, promote the metabolism and synthesis of protein, support the metabolism of fat, improve the efficiency of insulin synthesis and metabolism, and promote hematopoiesis, which is especially effective for muscle growth and strength. In ancient China, there was a saying that "beef tonifies qi, just like astragalus". (6) Face up to junk food and advocate healthy living. KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut are considered junk food in Japan. They are very cheap, and the price is similar to that in China. A McDonald's set meal costs about 500 yen (about RMB 35 yuan), which is the cheapest fast food in Japan. Now in China, many children love to eat these junk foods since childhood, and their parents have not given them correct guidance, and they are completely unaware of the impact on their health. Third, the future trend of Japanese diet Japanese eating habits have been formed for a long time, with its special geographical background and historical origin. Recently, a news that "Japan successfully planted auricularia auricula to get rid of its food dependence on China" has attracted the attention of many healthy people. "Auricularia auricula is rich in minerals such as protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, calcium, iron and vitamins, and it is a good ingredient." Song Xin, a senior nutritionist in the Nutrition Department of Chaoyang Hospital, thinks that it is not surprising that Japanese people like to eat black fungus from a nutritional point of view. Japanese people advocate a natural and healthy diet and are very proud of their cooking skills. I believe they will stick to it as always and pass on this healthy eating habit from generation to generation.
