skinny trend is spreading phenomenon, until there is in one of the Japanese drama whose title "Teppan Girl Akane" in one episode tells of a woman holding the most emaciated race held at one high school. Participants are required to meet several criteria to win the race.
Among them should be through a hole shaped letter "O" is only 40 cm in diameter. Then their weight should not exceed 43 Kg. To follow and try to win the race, eventually a lot of Japanese teenagers who tried desperately to have a diet. Until some even do not eat during the day to reduce their weight.
My friend above assumption about the percentage of Japanese women had a lot more thin than fat is not entirely wrong. But that does not mean there are not too fat, or plump little number. Although it did during my stay in Japan, the taste-it's rare to see any Japanese women are obese, even though he was a teenager or have become parents.
Based on the latest statistics issued by the International team on the problem of obesity in developed countries, it did show that Japan is the country with the lowest rate (only 3%). While the highest is the United States by 34%. In addition, the data was also mentioned that the average age ranks highest for Japanese women who reach age 85%.
This seems to be interesting to discuss. First, if we see from the level of the Japanese love of food, the presentation of obesity which is surprisingly low. So we can guess the secret may exist in the number of calories of food and beverages that they consume little unusual. The Japanese are generally not too concerned with the taste of the variety of seasonings mix, but they prefer the freshness of the food
Culture and tradition of encouraging Japan to appreciate the 'freshness that Most Important', and therefore Japanese women happy to buy a lot of fish, vegetables, and fruits like. While red meat, confectionery, biscuits, snack foods and ingredients purchased less. So, when my friends eat authentic Japanese food (in the sense not converted to the tastes of Indonesia such as those sold at Hoka-Hoka Bento restaurants or other Japanese food in Indonesia), your friends will not find a diverse taste in there . Generally we will only feel a sense of salty and sweet is dominant, and sometimes even bland and there is no sense in addition to the original flavor of the food raw materials
One example I've ever felt alone on calorie control culture that the Japanese are wont to do when I eat in the campus cafeteria. Cafeteria at my college provides a variety of food and beverage menus are balanced. What is unique is that it turns on every article of food or drink list is written list of calorie content per gram in each of these foods. So this allows us to calculate how many calories you will or already consumed.
Then, if we look at the pattern of architectural homes in Japan, generally the size of the kitchen was nothing major. Just compare the size of the kitchen houses in Europe or America, generally up to a very large space-consuming. The use of a minimalist kitchen space by the Japanese may affect the frequency and amount of food stored in the kitchen. Because they do not have space large enough, so generally the frequency of them to buy fresh vegetables more often. Conversely, if America and Europe, its people happy to buy groceries once a week and then stored in the refrigerator.
The second reason that might encourage Japanese women have a slim body is a kind of phrase known Japanese society that is "eating rice grains should be eaten eight were satisfied". The purpose of this expression is better not to eat till too full. In addition, the weight of food that is different from western and eastern regions is also one important reason.
If we look at the western diet, the weight of food that they like to consume, from year to year more and more increasing. So that is what ultimately led to obesity rates in western countries is higher. Meanwhile, if in Japan, people do things better. The Japanese average of 2700 calories per day to absorb, but the average American every day to absorb 3700 calories, 1000 calories difference between the two. "
The Japanese diet does seem to have been influenced by the attitude and the way of Zen in China 's State of the food, "Choosing the freshest ingredients, cook with the heart of the spirit." We do not eat rice greedily devoured, while enjoying delicious food, still have to learn how to appreciate beauty. Beautiful appearance is the source of life of Japanese cooking.
The third reason that can support the Japanese women have a thin body is probably due to their habit of physical activity on a scale that often enough and large. In addition to their work culture and ethos are very high, the Japanese were very fond of walking and riding bicycles. So if we were in Japan during the hours to come to work or school, usually we will often be in a crowd of people who walk quickly on the roadside or at train stations are being rushed to the school office or their respective .
