Hey Sazia,
I’ve also noticed that almost all Japanese women have perfectly shaped body and they look young.
Japanese people really know how to extract health benefits from their dishes. They choose to eat seafood rather than red meat.
We know that red meat is associated with numerous health problems including obesity and high cholesterol levels in the blood as well as inflammatory diseases.
One of the most common choices for meal in Japan is rice or noodles in combination with different types of seafood.
To stay healthy and fit we need to adopt eating habit of small portions because it helps in proper maintenance of overall body mass.
I’ve read in many posts that Japanese cuisine is combination of healthy ingredients and healthy cooking methods.
Eventually, thanks for sharing your innovative ideas with us.
With best wishes,
