World's Best Superfoods Part 5

www.superfoodhealthyliving.com www.superfoodhealthyliving.com 4. Japanese When Dr. Miller was traveling around the world doing research for her book, she found that traditional Japanese cuisine-especially the version eaten on the island of Okinawa, where people often live to 100-plus-was superhealthy. " Not only are Okinawans blessed with a diet rich in cancer-fighting fruits and vegetables, but they also prepare them in the healthiest way possible, with a light steam or a quick stir-fry," Dr. Miller explains. They also practice Hara Hachi Bu, which means "eat until you are eight parts (or 80 percent) full," she says. These simple diet rules may be why people in Japan are far less likely than Americans to get breast or colon cancer. Japanese staples that are amazing for your health include antioxidant-rich yams and green tea; cruciferous, calcium-rich veggies like bok choy; iodine-rich seaweed (good for your thyroid); omega-3-rich seafood; shiitake mushrooms (a source of iron, potassium, zinc, copper, and folate); and whole-soy foods. "The soy that's good for you is unprocessed, not made into fake meat," Dr. Miller says. Think: tofu, edamame, miso, and tempeh, a nutty tasting soybean cake made from fermented soybeans. Healthy choices the next time you visit a Japanese restaurant? Miso soup, which typically contains seaweed and tofu, or a simple veggie-and-tofu stir-fry. Danger zone: White rice can cause a spike in blood sugar, so ask for brown rice, rich in fat-burning ...

Slurping your soup in Japan

I had to stop eating for a minute and try to capture some of this SLURPLGURGLINGING... a sad, habit taken from China... how the Japanese can be so advanced in so many ways and yet still cling on to this custom of slurping their soup is beyond me. Oh well, at least they don't spit in the street like in some other cultures. I didn't catch any good slurps in this short clip... maybe that's a good thing. The people at the table next to us were making an ungodly racket with all their slurping. When in Rome, do as the Romans.... sorry... I can kneel in the seiza for hours, bathe naked at the onsen, bow repeatedly, eat with chopsticks, drive on the left side of the road, shower and bathe before bed, and all that other great stuff, but I won't slurp while eating. It's just gross to me, and incredibly disrespectful to the people who are trying to eat in peace, and I feel that way despite having lived in Europe, North America and Asia.

Exploring Macrobiotics

Many people have heard of people with cancer turning to macrobiotics to detoxify their bodies and technically, its better to detoxify before you get sick, so here’s the scoop on this unique diet.  The philosophy of macrobiotics is based on energetics–the idea of balance between Yin (soft, slow, water, cold, tranquil, gentle, and corresponding to the night) and Yang (defined as hot, fire, restless, hard, dry, excitement, and corresponding to the day) energies in our life and diet. Although the macrobiotic dietary guidelines are only one aspect of a more significant spiritual system, it’s the diet that’s drawn the most attention in the West.  The diet is based on dietary principles of simplicity and avoidance of "toxins" that come from eating dairy, meats, and oily foods.  The standard macrobiotic diet consists of:

Ukita Family, Japan. Hungry Planet, Nourrir son monde

Maya Ukita: Life expectancy in Japan is the highest in the world—79 for men and 85 for women. Fish: This exceptional longevity can be attributed, in part, to the consumption of fish, soy, and green tea. Mio's stomach : A number of Japanese practice Hara Hachi Bu, which consists of eating until you are only 80% full. Sayo Ukita: Regular physical activity, such as frequent bicycle riding, also promotes longevity in Japan. Cigarets: Mr. Ukita smokes four packs of cigarets a week. Smoking: Men Women Japan 40% 12% Canada 24% 18% China 60% 4% Russia 70% 28% Excess food packaging increases the amount of household waste. And yet the Ukita family buys many fresh products—such as bananas and strawberries—that are also packaged. Wakame seaweed is used in miso soup and is rich in fiber and calcium—10 times more than milk!

On first account, a pharmaceutical "cure" is as unlikely as it is oxymoronic. Drugs do not cure disease anymore than bullets cure war. Breast Cancer Ribbon Template Beneath modern medicine's showy display of diagnostic contraptions, heroic "life-saving" procedures, and an armory of exotic drugs of strange origin and power, it is always the body's ability to heal itself - beneath the pomp and circumstance - that is truly responsible for medicine's apparent successes. Too often, in spite of what medicine does to "treat" or "save" the body, it is the body which against invasive chemical and surgical medical interventions, silently treats and saves itself.
