Through the follow-up survey of longevity population in Okinawa, Japan, it is found that there is indeed a link between longevity and diet. Okinawa people like to eat whole grains, bean products and all kinds of fresh vegetables. If we only talk about this aspect, some people may wonder why so many people can't achieve the effect of prolonging life by eating like this. Dig deeper, not only for this reason, but also because they are very particular about dinner
Japanese people's dinner habits are healthier than ours and worth learning. 1, it's still early for dinner
Japanese people have a fixed dinner time, and most of them choose to finish dinner four hours before going to bed, which will leave enough time for our stomachs to digest and avoid eating too late and going to sleep after eating, which will make our stomachs unable to rest, affect our sleep and make our bodies fat.
2. Dinner pays attention to the reasonable collocation of vegetarian and vegetarian dishes.
There are two extreme choices about the choice of dinner food. Some people have no meat and don't like eating it. They didn't have a good meal after a hard day's work. There is more time in the evening, so they make up for it. In order to lose weight, some people choose to eat a cucumber or an apple instead of a staple food, because they are afraid that eating too much at night will make them fat. Both of these practices are wrong and will bring harm to the body.
The Japanese always mix vegetarian dishes reasonably and eat less meat, such as bitter gourd, tofu and brown rice, which are the staple foods in the evening.
3, dinner is only seven points full, not full.
Because the amount of activity at night is generally not as large as during the day, if you eat too much, the food will not be digested and absorbed well, which will bring a burden to the stomach and cause the possibility of getting fat. So it is very reasonable to eat only seven minutes full for dinner.
If you want to lose weight, you can eat until you are five minutes full. If you persist in doing it for a long time, your body will be healthy and your weight will be well controlled.
The order of dinner is particular.
Don't underestimate the order. Reversing the order may bring different effects. Because vegetables can give people a sense of fullness and reduce the intake of meat and staple food in the later period, you should eat vegetables before eating meat and staple food.
5. Don't drink while eating.
Modern people usually have social activities at night, but when they get together for dinner at night, they will inevitably drink, so the harm of drinking will be greater than during the day. Drinking too much will affect sleep and harm the body. Even if you don't drink too much, you will get fat if you drink it at night.
6. How to cook dinner is very important.
Japanese people don't like over-processed food, they like to keep the original flavor of food. Therefore, dinner will choose a cooking method with low oil and salt. This healthy cooking method not only ensures the normal intake of nutrients, but also does not lead to obesity due to excessive calorie intake.
In fact, in China, our ancestors also left us many ways to keep fit. Among them, "eat well at breakfast, eat enough at noon and eat less at dinner" is similar to the Japanese diet. We can learn from each other's strengths and learn more fitness methods. For people who live a long life, there are many disadvantages but no benefits.
