JAPANSKA KUHINJA KAO IZVOR ZDRAVLJA
Najnovija istraživanja pokazuju da najduži životni vek na svetu imaju Japanci. Prosečno Japanac doživi 84 godina starosti. Da li to ima veze sa tradicijonalnom ishranom i stilom života, koje benefite na zdravlje imaju tradicionalna japanska jela i još puno zanimljivih stvari u vezi jedne od najstarijih i najnaprednijih civilizacija, pojasnićemo u ovom tekstu.
Naučnici i istoričari godinama prate i posvećuju puno pažnje ovoj veoma interesantnoj naciji. Posebno sa napretkom tehnologije i otkrivanjem raznih bolesti, ljudi se sve više okreću tradicionalnim azijatskim kulturama, njihovim načinom života i načinom lečenja, koji svakako zavređuju pažnju. Svetska Zdravstvena Organizacija je ustanovila da su Japanci kao nacija na prvom mestu što se tiče najniže stope gojaznosti u razvijenim zemljama sa samo 3% gojaznih, za razliku od Amerike čija je stopa gojaznih 33%.
Njihov način pripreme hrane se zasniva na veoma zdravim osnovama: sirova hrana, hrana kuvana na pari ili pripremana u VOK-u. Takva ishrana ne sadrži suvišne kalorije, nema štetnih masti, nema upotrebe ulja, većina mesa tj ribe se jede sirova kao sushi i shashimi. Izvor proteina i omega masnih kiselina su riba i pečurke, izvor hidrata, vlakana i vitamina je pirinač, heljdine nudle i bareno povrće. Naravno zeleni čaj kao napitak zauzima posebno mesto u japanskoj kulturi. Porcije su umerene, nema prejedanja, organizam se ne muči da ovakvu hranu dugo vari i zato ste stalno puni energije i odmorni. Možete da radite dugo puni koncentracije, kao Japanci sa vrlo malo potrebnog sna. Navika je sve što preostaje za ovakav način ishrane, vremenom se organizam navikne i nema potrebu za dodatnim kalorijama, a kada dođete do tog stadijuma vaše svakodnevne obaveze ćete lakše obavljati i svakako biće te zdraviji.
Naravno da je cena japanskih specijaliteta po ekskluzivnim restoranima širom sveta svakako najskuplja. Jeftina i loša hrana uglavnom vas čini nezdravim i gojaznim. Ali ovakav način ishrane možete lako primeniti praveći obroke kod kuće. Nabavite potrebne namirnice u marketu odvojite malo vremena i eto vam zdrava ishrana. Pomenućemo neke specijalitete ove kuhinje i dati okviran nutricionistički sastav.
Japanska Supa sa Nudlama. Takozvani Soba rezanci su napravljeni od heljdinog brašna. Heljda poseduje vitamine B1 i B2, minerale i skoro dupli procenat proteina u odnosu na pirinač.
Sashimi. Plodovi mora u svom najčistijem obliku. Ovo jelo se sastoji samo od tanke kriške sirovog lososa, tune, lignje, ili bilo čega drugog svežeg. Bez obzira koju ribu da izaberete, vi ćete garantovano dobiti ogroman procenat proteina i hranljivih materija sa vrlo malo masti.
Edamame. Predstavlja svežu soju, koja može biti odlično predjelo. Sadrži veliki procenat proteina, omega 3 masti i vlakana. Serviranje sa svežim povrćem će dovesti do sitosti pre glavnog jela i time neće doći do prejedanja.
Shiitake Pečurke. Ovo hrana je veoma bogata proteinima i poseduje mali procenat masti. Koristi se u azijskoj medicini vekovima. Studije su pokazale da shiitake gljive štite od kardiovaskularnih bolesti i visokog nivoa holesterola.
Tofu. Ovo je jedna veoma standardna namirnica u aziskoj kuhinji. Slična svojstva kao i šitaki, puno proteina a malo masti. Može se lako kombinovati i služiti kao dodatak ishrani.
Wasabi. Ovaj jedinstveni ukus sadrži iste hemikalije za borbu protiv raka koje se nalaze i u brokoliju i kupus. Wasabi takođe smanjuje rizik od srčanog udara.
Nigri. Tanki listići sveže ribe obmotani oko pirinča sa delićima morske trave. Većina kuvara u restoranima smatra da je mnogo lakše rukovati sirovom ribom ako se pomeša sa pirinčem, a neki restorani koriste i braon pirinač.
Alge. Ova namirnica je nezamenjiva kada je u pitanju konzumiranje dovoljne količine minerala. Alge sadrži nekoliko stvari koje našem telu trebaju, uključujući cink, selen, jod, i vitamina B12. Alge takođe pomažu da se smanji krvni pritisak i nivo holesterola.
Ovo su samo neke bitne pojedinosti koje karakterišu zdrav način ishrane na japanski način. Menjanjem loših navika boljim, prihvatate činjenicu da zdravlje ulazi na usta, dajete primer drugima i najbitnije dajete primer najbližima i svojoj deci da sve zavisi od vas samih. Ovakvom ishranom pomažete sebi da svoj radni dan učinite efikasnijim a svoj život dužim. Tako to Japanci rade!
