Sushi health facts
Well if you live in the UK then most of the food you’re likely to be subjected to is pre packed, salt laden, fat saturated rubbish. We have a culture of unhealthy, fatty food. Probably due to in the past having to “fatten” our selves up for those long British winters. Over in Japan however, they’ve got it sussed.  Healthy sushi is one of the reasons that Japanese people have the longest life expectancy of any country in the world. Sushi has played its part in making the average life expectancy of a Japanese woman, 87 years! The thing with healthy sushi is that it’s fresh. If it isn’t fresh then toss it out and make some more! You can get frozen sushi but over here in the UK it’s pretty hard to come by, anyway when it comes to healthy sushi, why not just make your own! We have all the ingredients available if you hunt around in Oriental and Chinese supermarkets. As healthy sushi becomes more popular outside of London, so do healthy sushi ingredients. Our local Morrisons in Sheffield now even stocks sushi nori seaweed sheets.
There is so much good, healthy nutrition in fresh food like maki sushi, from fibre and vitamins in Maki-sushi nori seaweed sheets to protein and omega-3 oils in fresh fish (Omega 3 oils found in healthy sushi and sashimi grade fish have been found to cure many known ailments and contribute substantially to reducing heart disease), even carbohydrates in sushi rice are needed and good for you. All of this fresh sushi (especially home made sushi) has with no colourings, no E-numbers, no preservatives and almost no saturated fat. Sushi is a super food, there’s no doubt about it. Even the accompaniments are good for you. Soy sauce is a great alternative to adding salt to your diet, wasabi and gari ginger both help prevent harmful forms of bacteria from forming, gari pickled ginger especially is said to aid indigestion which can, in the long term, prevent bowel cancer.
 Although sushi and sashimi are extremely good for you, you must always make sure it is fresh before eating. Especially when it contains sushi fish as bad sushi fish can make you seriously ill.
Sushi is a healthy food, but discovering how many calories are in a particular sushi dish can be tricky. As a rule the more sushi rice in a sushi dish, the more carbohydrates there will be. Carbohydrates are vital for making energy but if you consume too many and don’t burn them off they will turn to fat.
*** Tip - Exercise!!!! ***
Another way of maximising your healthy sushi is by making sure there’s not too much mayo or other sauces in the sushi. If it’s a chicken sushi roll, is it lean breast chicken? Make sure you have quality sushi ingredients and you won’t be disappointed. |
