Our health is greatly influenced by “food” we regularly eat – Japanese people
benefit greatly from “dietary culture”
The first video is about explanation of
dietary culture of Americans by a “29-year-old female American who was born and
brought up in Japan.” If I regularly eat the “food” explained in the video, I
would not be able to keep my health, I thought.
It’s a story about my son who was a
grade-schooler a long time ago. I was watching TV with my family. When my son saw a figure skating coach give
advice to players, he seemed to be very surprised at the scene and asked me “why
can the coach advise the players?” I answered: “I suppose that the coach used
to be a famous figure skater.” However, he seemed to be surprised at my answer
and said: “Why can he skate? Does not he sink in the ice because ice breaks?”
When I smilingly said: “The coach was as slender as players are,” my son was
very surprised at my answer. My son saw an actual example of human “metamorphosis
(the process by which the young form of insects and some animals develops into
the adult form)” for the first time.
I suppose that his experience at that time
probably became traumatic childhood memory and he seems to have displayed over
wariness over European women including Russians. However, It is well-known that
for example, a Russian girl “never metamorphoses” even if she marries a
Japanese and lives in Japan.” What is the reason for this? Any Japanese can
understand that this is due to the difference in diet.
It is said that the coronaviruse can cause
more severe symptoms in people with obesity. We can say that Japanese people benefit
greatly from “dietary culture.” Furthermore, you should know unvaccinated
kids are healthier .

Why don’t
the Amish get cancer?
The Amish is a
self-sufficient group of people who reject modern society and form a unique
colony in the U.S. and Canada . Although people often ridicule and cast
them out, they were given a gift modern people envy in return for living a
strict life. The Amish are
far healthier than other Americans .
The incidence of cancer
and autism is extremely low among the Amish.
<snip>
The Amish don’t smoke.
Neither men nor women smoke. <snip> The
Amish never get vaccinations. The relationship between vaccination and
autism has recently been highlighted but out of approximately 200,000 Amish, only
three have got diagnosed with autism. They have continued to refuse to get
vaccinated in spite of the pressure of the government on vaccination.
The Amish are truly
healthy children although they never get vaccinations.
