Many of us have heard the benefits of green tea from television, newspapers, magazines, etc. And it turns out to be real! Green tea is a typical Japanese drink that contains lots of antioxidants and is Japanese women’s favorite to maintain their health and beauty. Normally, Japanese women consume green tea without additional ingredients in order to maximize the effect. However, it might not suit Indonesians who prefer sweet taste. Therefore, we can add a little sugar, natural honey or lemon juice to taste. Ready to feel younger?
2. They prefer to walk or ride a bicycle instead of vehicles

Walking or cycling is indeed healthy. It allows your muscles to be active and moving. Doing these activities on a daily basis results in an unrealized transformation of body shape. These means of transportations also minimize the air pollution.
3. Japanese women choose steamed food instead of fried food

Steamed foods are more healthy claimed the Japanese women. Why? Because steaming awakes the nutrient content as well as vitamins contained in the food. The benefit is evident as Japanese women are rarely overweight or obese in the productive age.
4. Japanese women rarely ‘snacking’

As discussed earlier, steamed foods are more healthful than fried as their nutrients are better absorbed. This is the reason why Japanese women do not like “snacking” or eat a lot because they do not quickly feel hungry after a heavy meal. Their usual meals would be a bowl of rice, fish such as salmon, and steamed vegetables.
5. Eating is not racing. Japanese girls always eat slowly

Japanese women are accustomed to eating with a rather long duration because they eat food slowly. In addition to the absorption of food nutrients, it is related to the customs and norms of femininity in Japan. So, let’s start eating more slowly!
6. When hanging out, Japanese women tend to order a small plate of sushi and a bowl of seaweed

It might not suit our culture. Sushi and seaweed are indeed very familiar in Japan. However, we can take the essence of “eating a small portion of food when hanging out”. In Indonesia, we could follow the norm by ordering a glass of lemon tea with a little snack or cookies.
7. In Japan, the price of junk food is more expensive compared to healthy vegetables. Japanese women choose sushi or miso soup for lunch

When we had a little time to eat due to busy working or college schedules, we usually choose junk food to save some time. This does not apply to Japanese women, they prefer dishes like miso soup (such as white rice noodles) or sauteed seaweed and salmon as an alternative lunch.
