Life expectancy in Japan is the highest in the world, over 40,000 are over the age of 100. Maybe we should all go seal-clubbing and eat whale.


Maybe we should all try to adopt a Japanese diet

The Japanese diet is about as different from a Western diet as it is possible to get.
It is relatively low in fat, high in fibre, high in omega-3's from eating lots of fish.
Protein from meat is modest as meat is eaten in small quantities, while vegetable intake is high.

Some foods are significantly different, for instance seaweed, which is very high in minerals, is an intrinsic part of the diet,
fermented soya (tofu) is a staple, and other mineral-rich foods like sesame are included regularly.
Also of great importance is that their cooking methods are extremely healthy: steaming or flash-frying in a minimum of oil or on a hibachi (grill).
The Japanese use a lot of strong flavours, like ginger and radish, which reduces the need for using fats. In general it is a very 'clean tasting' cuisine.
Dairy foods do not feature in the Japanese diet.
