Japanese Diet Tips
The traditional Japanese diet is based on the consumption of rice, vegetables, fish, green tea, seaweed, soy and its derivatives. But reality is much more varied than this: you can eat up to 30 foods daily nutritional groups combined and in small quantities.
One thing that distinguishes the Japanese diet of Western diets is the food pyramid is that it is upside down (for us, of course). The food is placed on one level or another depending on the number of servings per day to take, regardless of amount.
Therefore, foods such as milk and fruit are on the smaller, and that they only eat 2 servings are recommended daily, while the complex carbohydrates is recommended to eat 5 to 7 servings.
The Japanese diet is less rich in protein and fat when compared with the Mediterranean diet. This diet encourages the consumption of vegetable oils and spices instead of salt (I recommend a maximum of 10 grams daily).
Due to the inclusion of foods such as seaweed and green tea, which are rich in unsaturated fats, antioxidants, calcium and phytoestrogens (plant compounds similar to estrogen), the Japanese diet is a diet particularly benefits for heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer of the breast and endometrium.
