As the saying goes, "food is the most important thing for the people", and food is the most important channel for body nutrition and the foundation of life. However, this does not mean that eating more is better. People of the older generation always say "eat more, eat more", which may be the case in the era of poor resources, but it doesn't work at present. American scientists have found that modern people eat less, which is not only healthier, but also easier to live longer. American studies have found that eating less can live 20 years longer. It is time to learn from the Japanese. American scientists use monkeys with the closest body structure to study diet. The researchers divided 200 monkeys into two groups. One group had 100 monkeys. The first group of monkeys have no restriction on diet and can eat according to their own appetite. The second group of monkeys strictly restricted their diet and only ate 78% of the food. After 10 years and 15 years, the researchers were surprised. There were only 50 monkeys left in the first group, and most of the remaining 50 monkeys died of cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver and other diseases. In the second group, only 12 monkeys died, leaving 88 monkeys. 15 years later, all the monkeys in the first group died, but there were many long-lived monkeys in the second group.

According to scientists' analysis, if human beings can insist on eating 40% less per meal, their life span can be extended by 20 years, and the risk of suffering from various diseases will be greatly reduced. In fact, our ancestors have long known that "eating less can lead to a long and healthy life". There are many proverbs about "seven-point fullness" in China traditional culture, such as "Be healthy, be neither cold nor hungry for three minutes", "Eat seven-point fullness, be healthy and have a good old age" and "live to ninety-nine". However, this traditional diet culture has not been inherited by China people, but strictly enforced by Japanese people, which makes the obesity rate of Japanese people only 3%, and the life expectancy of Japanese people ranks first in the world for 20 consecutive years. China people should learn four healthy eating habits from the Japanese. First, small tableware makes people eat less. The dining table culture in Japan is very different from that in our country.

China people's dining tables are always full of plates, which are full of vegetables. However, there are many dishes and bowls on the Japanese dining table, but they are generally very small, and the weight of the dishes is also very small. Such a unique dining table culture can make people subconsciously control their appetite, and over time, they will form the habit of "7 points full". It is suggested that families who still use large bowls to hold rice and vegetables should try to change small bowls. I like fish, but I don't like red meat. Red meat refers to the meat of pigs, cows, sheep and other animals. Japanese people don't like red meat, especially pork with the highest fat content. They like fish with low fat and rich nutrition. Eating more fish meat is not only beneficial to weight control, but also beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. On the contrary, China people who can't live without pork and beef for three meals a day are not only prone to obesity, but also prone to wealth diseases such as "three highs". 3. Use less seasoning. The Japanese attach great importance to the original flavor of food, but try to eat it raw if you can, and put as little seasoning as possible if you can't eat it raw.

The cooking method is extremely simple. People in China like to use all kinds of spices in their cooking. Except for a few areas that insist on a light diet, most areas like to emphasize taste. Simple cooking methods can retain the nutrition of food to the maximum extent, and excessive intake of oil and salt is also an important factor leading to obesity and "three highs" and other diseases. Fourth, pay attention to the diversification of diet. Although the Japanese eat less, they pay great attention to the diversification of diet, which can ensure the balance of nutrition. Although the quantity is small, the quality is high.

Japan has even introduced relevant policies to encourage schools to prepare 30 kinds of ingredients for students every day to ensure a balanced nutrition. The above four eating habits suggest that you learn more from the Japanese. It is better to let others live in a world that is not a coincidence, but their unique healthy eating culture. If you were in ancient times, then obviously you should eat more, because the ancients were forced by conditions, and they had to do a lot of physical labor every day, which was very expensive and had great natural requirements for food intake. The conditions of modern people are completely opposite to those of the ancients. Living resources are extremely rich, and people's physical labor is greatly reduced. Even many white-collar workers don't need to pay physical labor at all, just need to work at their desks in the office every day. Consumption less, intake more, the balance of the two, heat will be converted into fat accumulation in the body, even blood vessels and liver, over time, not only the weight is getting higher and higher, but also various health problems will occur. Therefore, the eating habit of "seven-point fullness" is very important for the health and longevity of modern people, which should not be underestimated.
