Japanese And Heart Disease

The life expectancy in Japan is one of the highest in the world. The Japanese people and their children were never obese until western food was introduced into their country.

On the island of Okinawa the people live a very long and healthy life. The history of the island shows that chronic diseases are practically non-existent. Their elderly do not suffer from dementia, heart attacks or strokes and cancer is almost unheard of.

Along with a much healthier diet the Japanese people drink green tea as their drink of choice, because of the powerful antioxidants it contains.

Drinking green tea puts the Japanese at a much lower risk of stroke, cancer and heart disease. Research shows, that drinking green tea lowers your cholesterol and blood pressure as well.

The Japanese also stop eating when they are about 80% full. They do not fill their plates until they are overflowing, and go back for more.

We as a country are killing our children and ourselves with food and we are the only ones that can stop it.
