為什麼壽司對你有好處?

Sushi is a famous Japanese dish

In recent years, Japanese restaurants have popped up around the world, from big cities to small towns. Farmers ferment the fish using rice grown in rice fields, rice vinegar and salt. Sushi made using the original method is now called "Narezushi" and was introduced to Japan during the Yayoi period (approximately 300 BC to AD 300). Sushi is now synonymous with Japanese culture, and its current form was formed approximately 200 years ago.

What to do if you don’t like fish

It's a misconception that sushi must contain fish. It's common to eat raw fish on rice or in a roll, but sushi is a general term for dishes made with vinegared rice mixed with raw fish, vegetables and other ingredients, and it doesn't necessarily have to include fish. So even if you don't like fish or are vegetarian, you can still eat sushi. Furthermore, in Europe and the United States, dishes adapted to a wider range of tastes became popular, and it was no longer uncommon to find duck, chicken or beef as ingredients.

Is it really good for your body?

Healthy eating is possible. However, as with any cooking method, the health benefits may be diminished or enhanced depending on the method. If you choose highly processed foods, you may end up consuming unexpectedly large amounts of sugar and calories, even though they have no nutritional value. Additionally, soy sauce is high in salt, and adding too much may exceed recommended daily salt intake. Learn how to make sushi into a healthy meal or snack.

Eat it as sashimi. If you choose sashimi, you'll have less soy sauce and no rice, so you won't have to eat extra salt or sugar.
Pay attention to vegetable ingredients and gari. Ginger has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and powerful healing properties. Very delicious to eat with sushi.
Eat brown rice instead of white rice. Brown rice is highly nutritious and helps reduce intake of refined carbohydrates.

What are the health benefits of sushi?

Why not incorporate delicious sushi into your healthy diet? The following main effects can be expected.

balance hormones

The seaweed used in sushi rolls is rich in iodine. Iodine has the ability to balance hormones in the body and is especially recommended for menopausal people who are concerned about changes in hormonal levels. Many people experience thyroid function problems during menopause, and iodine can help with this adjustment.

Good for your skin

Sushi often contains ingredients that contain antioxidants, which can slow down cell aging and damage. Aim for youthful, vibrant skin.

activate your brain

Omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in fish, have been shown to have a positive impact on brain function, improving concentration and cognitive abilities. It also has the effect of lowering high cholesterol and lowering blood pressure.

Helps muscle repair

Sushi can also be used when you want to rejuvenate tired muscles. Eating enough protein has been proven to significantly speed up muscle repair.

Prevent osteoporosis

Calcium is important for preventing osteoporosis and maintaining bone health. Increase your sushi intake.

Improve immunity

Sushi contains many vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed to boost immunity, such as zinc, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron.

Curb cravings for sweets

Eating protein to balance blood sugar levels can help stabilize your energy levels and reduce your cravings for sweets, especially sugar.
Even if you have never had sushi or are reluctant to eat raw fish, why not take the opportunity to give it a try? You can enjoy a variety of toppings, including not only fish, but also avocado, tofu, chicken, vegetables, and other delicious ingredients. If you like a slightly spicy flavor, try using mustard. Wasabi reduces the risk of food poisoning and inhibits bacteria, making sushi healthier.
