In Contrast, China's population averages only about 76 years, with men only 75 years old and women reaching 80 years. This age gap is relatively large compared with Japan, and many people will wonder why Japan is only a small island country, but it has the longest lifespan.
And according to a long-term survey found that the Japanese are almost not very fond of sports, the number of people who go to the gym every day is very small, there are not many people who like sports, we all know that exercise has many benefits to the body, why do Japanese people who do not like sports have the world's first life expectancy? In fact, people who have been to Japan or like to watch Japanese dramas are not difficult to find that although Japanese people do not like sports, there are very few fat people in their country, and it can be said that thinness is one of the important reasons for their longevity.
Of course, in addition to being thin, they also have good habits in terms of diet
First, eating will not be too full
Compared with Chinese like a lot of people to get together to eat, like to eat large portions of food, and the Japanese way of eating is very different from ours, when eating they will know how much is appropriate, and they prefer the meal sharing system, which greatly reduces the intake of food. The calories eaten are reduced, and even if you don't exercise, the body doesn't have excess fat accumulation. This way of eating is better, and studies have found that if each meal can eat about 7 points, a quarter of the aging genes will be reversed, which is conducive to our longevity.
Second, pay attention to eating breakfast
In daily life, most Japanese people attach great importance to three meals a day, especially breakfast. Women in Japan also get up early every day to prepare a variety of breakfasts for their families. Breakfast is very important for the health of the human body, after a night of rest, the body's energy has been consumed almost, eat breakfast can be timely supplement nutrition. Secondly, eating breakfast can also reduce the probability of intestinal diseases, especially for the gallbladder is very good, can effectively prevent gallstones, cholecystitis and other diseases, pay attention to eating breakfast so that they have a healthier body.

Although the amount of rice in Japan is not large, their diet is very rich, and when eating, you can always see many large and small plates, which will be filled with a variety of foods. This way of eating allows them to consume enough nutrients in one meal and avoid single nutrients. Such a small amount of high-quality diet can greatly improve the body's immunity and ensure that the body will not be sick due to the lack of a certain element.
Fourth, like to eat fish and deep-sea food
We all know that Japan is a coastal country surrounded by the sea, and this geographical advantage has also changed their eating habits. In the weekday diet, most of their meat food is fish, such as salmon, tuna, etc., fish meat has great benefits to the body, can effectively reduce the probability of the human body suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is mainly due to the fact that fish contains a large number of unsaturated fatty acids, which can remove bad cholesterol in the human body. Secondly, they also like to eat some seafood, such as our common kelp, seaweed, etc., these foods are also very good for the human heart and cerebrovascular.

Japanese people seem to rarely eat spicy, we know the most about their diet is mustard, which seems to be the most spicy food they eat in their daily lives, and they like raw food the most in order to maintain the original taste of food, sashimi is the most famous way to eat in their diet. Secondly, they will rarely put oil when cooking, which is very different from Chinese eating habits, in China, many people like to put a lot of cooking oil when cooking, and the biggest harm to the body when eating too much oil is that it will lead to increased blood lipids and make people fat, obesity is an important factor leading to shortened life expectancy.
