Great to see you promote the importance of healty food
RIGHT?!
Thanks for the comment, I’m glad that aspect stood out to you. The dietary component is definitely a cornerstone of Okinawan longevity.
A key part of their traditional diet is that it’s overwhelmingly plant-based. Tofu, for instance, is a major staple, offering high-quality protein and nutrients.
The way food, community, and lifestyle all connect is fascinating. I actually have a video that goes into more detail on their dietary principles, which you might find interesting.
Yay!!! Japan! 🇯🇵Thank you for showcasing other countries and their healthy food traditions!! ❤ We love you, Jamie!
Jamie in Karate context! Awesome 🤩. Amazing discoveries in Japan. Thank you.
This was so interesting. We could learn a lot from you travel to Japan. Especially Okinawa! Thank you for sharing. 💕
You’ve done Radio Taiso with them. How sweet.
I’m all in for healthy and yummy nutrition- THANKS, Jamie!
Gohya, bitter melon, was not well-known to us in the main land Japan 30 years ago. It is very bitter and challenging to kids. The blister-like things have juice. The white pulp is bitter so you can control the bitterness of dishes by removing the white part with a spoon.
Umibudo or sea grape is unique sea vegetable. The fresh one is difficult to find outside of Okinawa. We can buy only salted one in the main land and it’s rather expensive. You can taste it in izakaya pub in Japan.
わーい🙌🏻昔から見てた人が日本に来てくれて嬉しい！
I am a big fan of Japan and japanese food, and will return to Japan next March for the 5th time (this time we will travel in Chubu). Its fun to see Jamie Oliver, who I have also been watching for many years, discover healthy food in beautiful Japan.
As a vegetarian I eat quite a bit of tofu. I’ve been practicing recipes with all firmnesses. I’ve also been experimenting with freezing first. It completely changes the texture!
I wonder, how do you prepare tofu ? I like it, but I find it quite bland (and I dont like bland), so I usually marinate it. My favorite is a marinade of honey, soy sauce, tumeric and chili. I cut the tofu in pieces and let it marinate for at least 4 hours, before frying it.
Have you tried cooking with tofu skins?
Thank you Jamie this is important, let the food be thy medicine ❤
Welcome to Okinawa, Jamie!
I’m so happy to hear that you say everything you eat is delicious.❤
the healthiest and the nicest people.
From the first time I saw Jamie Oliver in his early cooking shows have been a fan. Then when he got into healthy school lunches, I couldn’t admire him more. This is a continuation of his exploration of healthy AND delicious cooking and eating. Love me some Jamie Oliver!
Have been a fan of Bitter Melon ever since the farmer of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) group I belong to introduced it to us 28 years ago, and have learned to cook and like it (we Americans are more about salt and sugar…not so much about bitter). IMHO, Bitter Melon is the most medicinal veg on the planet (to be eaten in moderation and organically grown). While I like Seaweed, our oceans are so polluted I’m concerned as to what might be in Seaweed these days, and there are issues with Hijiki (which I used to like very much) and arsenic. Some governmental agencies are advising to avoid eating Hijiki altogether. As far as Tofu goes, as long as it’s USDA certified organic (and then it’s automatically non-GMO) I’m all over it. LOVE the AM radio exercise show! ❤☮🌎
Jamie looks the healthiest l have seen him in years! Loved this show!
Jamie is international treasure! Much respect!
Thank you for pointing out how much healthier eating plant-based is. More recipes like this please!❤
Animal based is way way healthier than plant based. Do you know how much raw fish they eat in Okinawa 😂😂
@TeoIILwrong. The other “Blue Zones” across the planet prove that since they are not primarily plant based. It’s just facts
@TeoIIL Yes I do. Only 1 or 2 percent of their diet! This Healthline quote confirms my understanding from multiple reliable sources-
“The staple foods in a traditional Okinawan diet are (2Trusted Source):
Vegetables (58–60%): sweet potato (orange and purple), seaweed, kelp, bamboo shoots, daikon radish, bitter melon, cabbage, carrots, Chinese okra, pumpkin, and green papaya
Grains (33%): millet, wheat, rice, and noodles
Soy foods (5%): tofu, miso, natto, and edamame
Meat and seafood (1–2%): mostly white fish, seafood, and occasional pork — all cuts, including organs
Other (1%): alcohol, tea, spices, and dashi (broth)”
@TeoIIL What makes you think that animal based diets are “way way healthier than plant based?” Okinawa is one of a handful of “Blue Zones” where centenarians are unusually plentiful. All Blue Zones eat little or no meat at all.
@@someguy2135wrong. Plenty of blue zones eat plenty of meat
