How Japan's '80%' philosophy of eating may help us all be healthier

Summary

Nutrition label

58% Informative

Okinawan Okinawans eat about 1,900 calories per day on average.

Eating only until you're 80% full may be something to consider if we're looking to live a long life.

Hara hachi bu encourages mindful eating and portion control without the need for calorie counting or eliminating certain food groups.

Of course, the traditional Japanese diet also tends to be quite healthy in terms of what they eat, but mindful eating, paying attention to how your stomach feels and stopping before getting full, is worth applying no matter what cuisine you're eating. Next time you sit down for a meal, give hara hachi bu a try and see how you feel. It definitely can't hurt..
