Ma Go Wa Ya Sa Shi I is a mnemonic device to remember healthy ingredients within Washoku to turn Washoku into the Japanese Blue Zones’ Diet. It is rich in dietary fiber and good for your gut.
Japanese Blue Zones’ Diet. What were the people in long-lived villages eating?
Tsukimi, moon viewing is a Japanese secret to longevity.
A medical professor at Tohoku University discovered many long-lived villages all over Japan between 1935 and 1971, and he drew a map of these long-lived villages. He marked them as blue spots, which is interesting, considering the fact that blue zones were discovered much later.
Okinawa isn’t the only blue zone in Japan, there are other longevity prefectures, too.
Which is more important for longevity, Ikigai, or diet?
The Ikigai Diet is a diet and a lifestyle I composed based on Shizenha people’s lifestyle. I also modeled the lifestyle of centenarians in Japan’s long-lived areas such as Shiga and Nagano. I also studied the elements of Washoku, including the Zen Shojin diet and practices in the Japanese natural food movement.
The centenarians in Japanese blue zones can be great role models of wellness and longevity, and yet I think there are healthier people. Today, I will share with you who these people are.
Japan is considered to be the country with the highest life expectancy and it has a lot to do with our diet, Washoku. And when we talk about Washoku, it is usually about the exoteric side of Washoku, but there is an esoteric side to it, and without knowing about it, you are missing a significant portion of Japanese wellness.
