Traditional Japanese food is cosidered to be one of the healthiest diets. It focuses on well balanced, whole, minimally processed, nutrient-rich, seasonal foods. Many dishes contain fermented foods that are good for digestive health as part of every meal, such as miso soup and pickled vegetables.(nukazuke)
It has to do with the way food is consumed,in moderation and with lots of variety. Japanese food culture,that makes it relatively healthy is small portion and variety of foods.
