they also eat a lot of very fresh fish, which means a lot of omega 3s which soak up a lot of that damage
Believe it or not Japanese eat relatively low protein, including fish.
I suspect what keeps Japanese healthy is a higher carbohydrate + lower fat + fermented food + walking a lot.
They literally eat Raw Fish 🐟
that means a lot more unoxidised omega fatties (linoleates and such) it's not only tho
they eat quite a bit of beef too but Laser is right, they have a rice dominant diet
I always thought they ate tons of fish but compared with Americans, protein consumption (even in fish) is very very low.
and don't forget many replicas of the amylase genes
i don't have them, but they are common in europe, so that's how they tolerate this garbage rice
Walking isn't that helpful on its own. The competitive athletic culture must help too
FWIW, Japan is losing it's metabolic health as it integrates more factory food techniques from the West.
