"6 American Foods Japanese Nutritionist Avoids for Longevity"

Michiko Tomioka, a certified nutritionist and longevity expert from Japan, recommends foods that have medicinal properties and promote longevity. She avoids processed meats, fast food hamburgers, sugary sodas, sugary breakfast cereals, cream cheese, and candy. Instead, she opts for tofu, multigrain rice balls with tuna wrapped in seaweed, natto, kinako, chia seed pudding with honey or agave syrup, frozen bananas, and unsweetened dark chocolate. Her approach focuses on a plant-based diet, which is intentional and has helped Japan become home to some of the world's longest-living people.
