First, there is no fat in Japan, there is a reason!
Undeniably, the Japanese in the diet is very healthy, they believe in a principle “delicious can not cover up the flavor of the ingredients themselves”, so they prefer raw food or steamed cooking methods, diet more light, low calorie, not easy to get fat.
They pay much attention to the combination of ingredients, every day to eat more than 30 kinds of ingredients, fish, meat, vegetables, beans, fruits and rice, noodles may be involved in the nutrition is also very balanced, because eat more kinds of food, which also indirectly leads to the portion of their food will become very small, to a certain extent, to reduce the amount of their dietary intake.
But if you think that Japanese people are not fat because of their diet, then you are very wrong.
True, the Japanese hate exercise, but they don't necessarily exercise less in terms of volume.
Although Japan is not a big country, but the population density is very high, and the facilities between each community are relatively good, to go to the supermarket, school, small clinics, etc. Most of them are within half an hour, so their daily travel usually choose to walk or ride a bicycle, according to the relevant statistics, Japan is the country with the most bicycles per capita. And the calories consumed by bicycling and walking are not necessarily less than those who spend half an hour a day exercising at the gym.
In addition, part of the reason there are no fat people in Japan is that the push comes from the government. Generally in the big business of weight loss, are its own thing, and Japan in order to control the waistline, and even out of the relevant laws. The Japanese government stipulates that enterprises must be 40-75 years old employees 1 year for a waistline check, men need <90cm, women need <85cm, once the standard must be tested blood pressure, blood glucose, lipids and other values, to have a certain result is not up to standard, the individual will be listed as a metabolic syndrome risk group, the enterprise also want to receive the government's fines, the double pressure want to be fat do not dare to be fat.
So, why are Japanese people not fat? These are the reasons!
