"Do you want to take control of your health?
As nations worldwide attempt to cope with an increasingly overweight society, people everywhere are struggling with ways to rein in their food lifestyle and eat healthier. Fad diets and temporary fixes come and go, but for many people, a permanent improvement in fitness, health, and happiness seems fiendishly elusive. But does it have to be that difficult? Look at Japan, whose people are amongst the longest-living in the world on average. What does Japanese food culture offer in terms of nutrition and life balance that other nations are lacking in?
What you put in your stomach right now creates the person you'll become two months later. It's literally the fuel that creates your skin, your heart, and your mind. Now is the time to reconsider you and your family's food lifestyle--to think about food as not just something to quell your hunger, but as the tool that defines who you are and how you choose to live your life. Use this book to help you reflect on what you eat from the ground up, and a healthier lifestyle will be yours to enjoy!"
