The 7 Secrets of the Japanese to live longer Japan is the country with the highest life expectancy in the world and there was a study that found that some habits were more common among the Japanese than other people than other countries and in this video I will tell you talk about seven things that could be the cause , the explanation for why the Japanese have the highest life expectancy in M. for that but let's talk about what this study saw so let's go straight to video number one the Japanese eat more fish than red meat fish, in addition to being a source of protein, also has good fats such as omega3 omega 6 which help reduce cardiovascular risk o risk of you having a heart attack, for example, they can improve the fats in your blood, our lipid profile, so if you compare fish with red meat, those who consume more fish have an additional benefit for their health Ah, but the consumption of red meat is bad for your health, no, I'm not saying This includes me, I eat red meat, but excess consumption of red meat can increase cholesterol and can even increase the risk of bowel cancer. So fish is a healthier option and may be one of the explanations why the Japanese live longer, number two.
Japanese drink more green tea green tea is very common in Japan and is rich in antioxidants it could also be one of the explanations why they live longer and here I'm not talking about green tea capsules green tea capsules have been linked to damage to the liver So you have to be careful, it's not going around taking green tea supplements, it's green tea itself that was seen as one of the factors, right, it was put on the agenda that could be one of the explanations why the Japanese live longer because it's rich in antioxidants number three physical activity the Japanese practice more physical activities both individually and in groups if you compare it to other people and physical activities even more so in groups is extremely beneficial for your health both physical health and mental health here catches my attention very big because I remember when I worked on the second floor and it was a big building, you know, there was an elevator and there were a lot of people who even had to go down, making a huge queue in the Sena elevator, going down a flight of stairs, I'm not talking here about climbing 20 or 25 floors, right, if it were a very large building, it would be different, but there was one floor to go down and many people refused, sometimes they even invited us, let's go straight down there, it's just a flight, no, we're not going to take the elevator anyway, so we're here for you to think about, are you doing physical exercise and not just activity but everyday things like that if there are a lot of people walking T walking two blocks Oh no no I have to go here I'm going to take transport I'm going to call a car via app because I'm not going to walk that distance because sometimes it's a distance very short So this could also be one of the factors and in Japan, according to This study, people are more active not only in individual group exercises But also this issue of transport, they often choose to walk or even cycle and you You already noticed this too so put it in the comments is the region you talk about which city write here that I always like to read number four Japanese people consume more soy soy is rich in vitamin AC and calcium phosphorus soy has phytoestrogens phytochemicals such as isoflavone that help to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and also improve cholesterol Ah, but I heard that because soy contains these phytoestrogens, it increases the risk of breast cancer and the risk of prostate cancer That's true, no, that 's something we believed some time ago decades, however, recent studies have already proven that soy does not increase the risk of prostate and breast cancer. Ah, but what about the Japanese? If you take the population of Japan that consumes soy, we see that they have a lower rate of breast and prostate cancer.
if you compare it with the world population, soy has already been proven to not increase the risk of cancer number five the Japanese consume more vegetables a large portion of the population consumes vegetables five or more times a day Which is very significant It's something that's difficult for us to achieve, right, with our diet here, with our lifestyle, you can imagine that, okay, but it's one of the protective factors. There's also an increased consumption of dark green leaves. Ah, but how much more do they consume?
study was even In addition, it was found that the Japanese on average eat 20% more vegetables than other people than other countries, which is very interesting, it is certainly one of the protective factors due to all the vitamins, nutrients that vegetables have, number six, the Japanese T greater access to the healthcare system Japan's healthcare system is one of the most advanced in the world there are many viewers from Japan you always comment I'm going to ask you who live in Japan are you Japanese or are you a foreigner and live in Japan How It's access to the healthcare system, what you tell me, put your experience here because compared to other countries, Japan's healthcare system is better, people have greater access to healthcare, it's certainly one of the factors that makes Japan has the highest life expectancy it is the country with the highest life expectancy in the world number seven the Japanese have a lower rate of obesity and obesity we already know that it is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes for systemic arterial hypertension high blood pressure itself increased cholesterol, even for cancer, obesity is a risk factor for cancer, several types of cancer. So if the Japanese have a lower rate of obesity, then they are more protected against these diseases and it is certainly one of the factors that contributes a lot to the Japanese having a higher life expectancy and what I think about all of this, of course these factors contribute to higher life expectancy, lower obesity rates, for example, are very significant, it reduces several diseases. But I see here in the videos, I have access to statistics on the views of each country and the country that watches videos the most, at least mine are views from Japan, the retention rate, the Japanese watch the video until the end with a much higher frequency than other viewers from other countries, it's much higher.
This really caught my attention. That's what I went to research, what the indicators were like, what did this, but certainly the greater interest in health and also the rate of questions about diseases is much higher in Japan, about health, I'm also referring to, you know, all the questions that I can answer, I end up answering. Of course, if you ask if you have to take medicine A or B, I can't say that, but questions about health I can talk about, so you have access and I see that the Japanese make better use of this access to questions about health issues and they also watch the video more, it certainly has an influence And why do you think the Japanese live longer?
This is a fact, it's not my opinion, so write it in the comments . world you belong to Ah, don't forget, you have to rate the video, hey, from zero to 10, what grade do you give if it's 10? I make more videos like this, now I'm going to leave a suggestion for you to watch, it's a video I talked about benefits of chia do you want to know what the benefits are?
consuming chia is also proven to be good for your health.
