The food that Japanese people eat every day and protects heart health

One of the foods that the Japanese consume very often and that is linked to heart health is fish, especially fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. This food is an important part of the traditional Japanese diet.

Why is fish so healthy?

Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation in the body, help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

This is one of the reasons why the Japanese population has among the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world. 

Not just fish, but the entire Japanese diet pattern helps the heart. The diet includes lots of vegetables and seaweed, fermented foods like miso or natto, rice as the basis of meals, and antioxidant-rich green tea.

These foods are rich in fiber, minerals, and antioxidants that protect the cardiovascular system. /CNA
