So now I want to know about Japanese food. I heard it's very healthy. Is that true. Some articles were saying recently that a woman in 98 years old and got 10th dan in Judo. It's amazing!
What food does she eat to reach that level?
Thanks for your diet advice.

No food anywhere EVER is going to make you a 10th dan at 98. That's a life-time of healthy activity and achievement, pretty much.
Japanese food is pretty healthy, it has to be said. Smaller portions, less meat and less fat really help, and it's high in stuff like sea vegetables (good for iodine), tofu and whole-grains like soba. More oily fish and egg. Obviously eating deep-fried food and if you eat it in huge quantities (like mega ramen bowls) all the time, it's not good, and it's pretty high in salt too, so you tend to see a lot of people with blood pressure issues later in life. The main thing is that a lot of Japanese people regularly walk/cycle and have pretty active life-styles.
