Key Secrets to Japanese Health

During the conversation, Aki shared three pivotal reasons that contribute to the health and vitality of the Japanese people:

Health Benefits of R's KOSO

To easily incorporate the benefits of fermented foods into your daily routine, we recommend R's KOSO. This nutrient-rich drink is fermented from over 100 plant-based ingredients in Japan, providing a hassle-free way to enjoy the advantages of fermented foods.

Using R's KOSO is simple—mix it with water and enjoy it any time of the day! This drink is not only packed with nutrients but is gluten-free and dairy-free, making it suitable for diverse dietary needs.

1. The One-Three System:

A fundamental aspect of Japanese meals is the "one-three system," which includes one staple (rice), one soup, and three side dishes. This structure promotes balanced nutrition. For example, a meal may consist of rice, miso soup, grilled fish, simmered vegetables, and a vinegared dish.

This arrangement not only ensures the intake of various nutrients but also aids in feeling satisfied without overeating, as the ingredients are often low in calories yet high in nutrients.

2. The Spirit of Itadakimasu:

Before meals, Japanese people say "Itadakimasu," which expresses gratitude for the food and the efforts behind it. This cultural practice encourages mindfulness and a positive relationship with food, leading to appropriate portion sizes and reduced food waste.

This mindset fosters a natural inclination to stop eating when one is about 80% full.

3. Fermented Foods & Gut Health:

Fermented foods like miso, natto, and Japanese vinegars play a significant role in Japanese diets. Aki shared that studies suggest Japanese people have two to five times more beneficial gut bacteria compared to individuals in other countries.
