Forget the dessert
Always try to finish your meal with green tea instead with sweets. If you can`t restrain yourself from the desire for sweets, you can consume them in small amounts in the morning with coffee. Moderate intake of sweets will protect you from heart disease and high blood pressure.
You should not be completely full
According to the people who live on the Japanese island Okinawa, and who have the largest number of 100-year olds, the secret of longer lifespan is not to eat until you are completely full, but only 80% of the stomach. If you stop eating before you finish your meal you will see that the last bites are totally unnecessary. This routine will also maintain your slim line and will improve your overall health.
Try sushi
Sushi contains large amount of omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for your heart`s and brain`s proper function. Japanese people consume between 80 and 100 grams of fish per day which is the amount recommended for all the people in the world. Eating fish on a daily basis is the reason why Japanese people seldom have problems with heart disease or high cholesterol levels.
Move
Try to improve the quality of your life with less sitting and more walking. Just two-hour walking per day can prolong your life span for 7 years.
Do not run away from the “good” bacteria
The good bacteria boost your immune system by almost 80%. Therefore, Japanese people frequently consume fermented fruit which is responsible for the stimulation of good bacteria in the gut.
Regular checkups
Regular checkups are essential for healthy body. You should make regular medical examinations at least once a year.
