Good morning my lovely readers. π₯° I trust everyone is well. Last night I watched interesting documentary about secrets of overall health and longevity based on traditional diets. I have got fascinated about Japanese tips, therefore I would like share with you some recipes. π₯° Tha main concepts of this diet are to eat more fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat in smaller portions and prepare clean for better digestion. Use a lot of soy products, miso and fermented foods. Drink green tea after each meal. Did you know that fundamental thought of the Japanese technique is to eat until 80% full! Therefore they use dessert and salad plates to downsize their portion. Variety of food, not quantity matters!π To keep low calories in their diet, they serve small bowl of rice instead of bread. This additional snack fills you up for longer. Find below my favourite quick and easy recipes japanese dishes:
