As quoted from page Reader's Digest countries Japan, Korea, and France have the lowest rates of heart disease in the world. It is very worth imitating considering heart attacks can be dangerous if not handled properly. What are the habits of these countries to have the lowest rates of heart attacks in the world?
These are the habits that are often done in these countries.

1. Eating in small portions

According to Theodore Takata, MD, clinical cardiologist at Texas Health Fort Worth, "The Japanese have portion controls embedded in their culture, and in addition to eating healthy foods, the Japanese use the phrase 'Hara Hachi Bu' the percentacy like 80 % satiety. If up to 100 %, someone said to feel uncomfortable and too full. "

2. Eating fermented foods

Koreans will usually add every dish with kimchi. According to nutritionists from Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, "Fermented foods reduce inflammation, boost immunity, digestion and intestinal health, support weight loss by increasing metabolism, improving mental health, and even reducing the risk of heart disease."

3. Consume lots of fish meat

It's no secret that the fish is very good for health. Adding them to the daily diet as done by Japanese and Korean people can extend life. The secret lies not in fish protein and vitamin D but omega-3 fatty acids."The main reason why these countries have good heart health levels is because fish have more omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA."

"This can be measured by the ratio of AA / EPA in the blood, which is seven times lower than that of Americans," said Barry Sears, MD, president of the Inflammation Research Foundation.









4. Do not spend too much time sitting down

In French and Japanese culture, they used to spend less time sitting and watching television. According to Dr Takata, "Restricting the amount of time watching television per week can make it easier to remember how long sitting to watch television.A study shows that every hour watching television after the age of 25 can reduce the audience life expectancy by 21.8 minutes.

5. Frequent walking

In France, Japan, and Korea, driving especially in big cities is rarely done. Instead, people often walk, bike, or ride public transport. "Moving naturally on everyday activities can make your body healthier associated with prolonging life," said Dr. Takata.
