PART H_2

Many Americans new in Japan are changing their diets for the better. They are trading in a high-carbohydrate, high-fat American diet for something more “Japanese”. The first big change, for many, is their increased consumption of fish. “I never ate this much fish back in America,” said Jim Benson, an American who moved to Japan recently. Soy products and seaweed are next on this list for many Americans. These products are known to reduce the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. “Japanese meals in general look and taste nice and are healthier, I think,” said Benson. Benson wants more Americans to know about the health benefits of Japanese food. When he tries an especially healthy Japanese dish, he features it on his blog, “Eating Healthy in Japan.”
