Abstract

This research compares the Mediterranean and Japanese diets and considers diet as associated with anti-ageing as well as leading a long and healthy life. Since Mediterranean countries, including Italy and Greece, have one-third the mortality ratio with respect to cardiovascular diseases compared to America and northern Europe, the Mediterranean diet is regarded as healthy. Here, the research shows the reasons why Mediterranean and Japanese diets have these properties. Both the Mediterranean and Japanese diets are typically low in fat, sugar, and calories, and are characterised by a high intake of vegetables, legumes, fish, and cereals. Differences include a greater consumption of polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil, dairy products, and a lower amount of meat consumption in the Mediterranean diet, as well as less use of fat; there is an abundant consumption of fermented foods and seaweed in the Japanese diet. Japan’s globally leading long life expectancy is partly attributed to the cultural concept of “ME-BYO,” which emphasises recognising and managing non-disease conditions before they develop into clinical illness. This tendency may be one of the reasons for the long lifespan of Japanese people. Full article
