Tender feelings? Polite? Appearance, often feel not beautiful enough, not eye-catching.

However, Japanese people's bodies are generally recognized as good, especially women, who are super-standard S-shaped. Friends who have been to Japan all say that "you can't see fat people on the street!" "This is so enviable! Interestingly, they don't like sports, but why are they the thinnest in the world? (The obesity rate in Japan is only 4%), so I decided to dig deeper.

A light and changeable diet

Low calorie, more collocation.

Many seafood products

Japan is an island country, which is rich in fish, shrimp and crabs. Seaweed is an important part of diet, which is found in common Japanese sushi and sashimi.

Fresh ingredients are the most important.

Japanese traditional culture advocates "freshness first", so Japanese women usually like to buy more fish, vegetables and fruits. The purchase of high-calorie processed foods such as red meat, candy and biscuits is small.

Light seasoning

Oily and spicy seasonings are rarely used, while vinegar, soy sauce and mustard are common raw foods. The fourth generation of Japanese fourth-rate once said: "The principle of Japanese cuisine is that its delicacy cannot hide the taste of the original ingredients."

Various dishes

Eating 30 kinds of ingredients every day is the dietary goal advocated by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in 1985. Since then, the concept of "30 kinds of ingredients" has been widely circulated in Japan, and many housewives use this as a guide to arrange their eating habits for one day.

Frying will receive special treatment.

When making tempura, a high-temperature fried food such as shrimp, octopus, pumpkin, okra and lotus root, it should be noted that the surface of the package must be very thin and there should be no traces of oil on the surface. Suck it with a tissue, and don't leave oil on the paper.

Have a big breakfast and eat less outside meals.

For a long time, Japanese women have prepared a hearty and healthy breakfast for their families every morning. Many families let their children have breakfast before going out, and their mothers cook lunch. The local government provides nutritious lunches for students and white-collar workers. It is worth mentioning that these lunches are designed by professional nutritionists and the quality is guaranteed.

The food is very small, eat eight points.

Tradition and food like to use small plates as containers, each serving is not much. There are often many kinds of food on the dining table, but the amount of each food is very small, which makes people feel that they have eaten a lot. Japan also advocates "eating eight points". They keep their food with beautiful tableware, and don't gobble it when they eat. When they feel full, they stop eating.

Unique family model

After the Japanese get married, many women will choose to be full-time mothers, which is very high. Unlike China, Japanese families have three or four children, so it is natural for someone to spend more time doing housework and taking care of children. Japanese women spend a lot of time preparing three meals a day for their families. They pay more attention to eating three meals at home, which increases the family atmosphere and has a subtle influence on children's growth.

Going out habits and commuting time

Taking a taxi is a very extravagant behavior in Japan. In the Japanese mind, walking is a cheap and convenient way, even if it takes longer. Japanese children are basically from walking to school, so they don't get on the school bus, and basically no parents drive them.

Besides, everyone in Japan uses bicycles, whether it's a student at school, a white-collar worker on the train or subway, or a housewife who takes her children to kindergarten and buys daily necessities.

Bicycles are their first choice.

For Japanese office workers, the average commuting time by tram and bicycle every day is one or two hours. In the past, Japanese surveys found that the longer the average commuting time, the lower the probability of people suffering from intervertebral disc disease. The reason is that the body keeps balance in the shaking of the tram. It can also exercise and accelerate the consumption of calories.

Japan is a mountainous and hilly country with many uphill and downhill roads. Therefore, for the Japanese, commuting is not a simple walk, but a mountain climbing exercise, which also increases the invisible exercise intensity. In addition, the Japanese work hard and often have no time to eat because they are too busy, so it is reasonable to be thin.

When the government legislates, the people will be thin.

Japan is an aging country with a declining birth rate. In order to solve the future medical burden, the Japanese government has introduced various policies to improve people's health, including encouraging people to lose weight.

In 20 13, Japan issued a new physical activity standard, calling on people to "+10": commuting time+10 minute, housework time+10 minute, shopping time+10 minute, etc. , should increase the number of steps to prevent lifestyle-related activities. In response to the government's appeal, some business departments have also formulated employee health plans and linked health, weight and rewards.

There is a Japanese company that lets employees burn calories at work, put some high desks and let employees stand and work for 2 hours every day. It is understood that six weeks after the implementation of this "penalty station" office method, the average waist circumference of employees has decreased by 0.8 cm. Another game company stipulates that for overweight employees, if you subtract 1KG, you can get a gift certificate of 5,000 yen. Finally, after accepting the challenge, a 3 1 year-old employee lost 13 kg and won a bonus of 65,000 yen.

In order to maintain people's health and prolong life, the Japanese government has implemented "diet education" for its children and developed good eating habits from an early age. In the compulsory education stage in Japan, it is required to eat at school, or the school has a canteen to cook for itself, or entrusts a food center. School recipes are customized by nutritionists, who need to be qualified as teachers to set dietary goals.

The so-called "dietary goal" is to use recipes as teaching materials.

Through dining, the school teaches students the correct structure of "main course+main course+side dish" and the nutritional characteristics of different ingredients, so that students can cherish food from an early age and have the ability to choose healthy food.

For the middle-aged people who have passed the "diet education period", the guidance system of "specific health care" has been introduced, in which visceral fat must be examined, forcing some elderly people with big bellies to try their best to eliminate abdominal fat, so as not to cause obesity and become a burden on families and society.

After reading it, I think the Japanese are really "tired" because they are thin. But if you are not "tired", how can you have a good figure?
