The fact that Japanese bathtubs are deeper is something I noticed that makes a big difference. When you sit in a North American bath that are put into apartments you get cold because you can't fully submerge your body.
As a European who visited the States, I had exactly this thought. And I am a tiny human. I ended up either with my legs stretched out leaning on the wall next to the tub, so that my upper body could be submerged....or sitting upright to soak my lower half😅. Having boobs didn't help.😂
I noticed that too! I LOVE baths but only when the tub is deep and a good sized tub is hard to find in America unless you own a big house or have a customized bathroom. It’s almost never a thing in apartments which is super sad
@@annai5224 I've seen these! They sound really awesome. Great solution for people who want a deep bath on a limited budget with space restrictions. The house I live in was previously owned by an elderly woman, and it has a walk-in tub. The tub has a little bench for sitting and then a deeper foot area. I can sit in the foot area and have water up to my chin. It's really lovely. If I didn't have that option, what you're describing would probably be my second choice. Having a deep bath is just a game changer in terms of managing tension and overall wellbeing.
One thing that strikes me about the Japanese is that everything seems to be art and nature. Everything seems to have a refined aesthetic and ties into the surrounding nature. Incredible really.
A lot of countries in asia are this way and we are influenced by the japanese and chinese culture, sadly western culture is popping up everywhere and things like healthy foods are now replaced with pringles, cheetos, and a kfc on some corners...it is so so important to retain our culture! If everyone becomes western these beautiful practices will disappear!
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ------
I really like how japanese don't have that "servant system" Unless you are super duper rich......Students clean their classes labs basically what ever they use, it's very important to teach children that there is no shame in cleaning your own house, class, school even neighbour hood
Completely agree with this. I'm an American who works with kids, and I always make it a point to encourage/teach them to clean up after themselves. It's an important lesson to learn at an early age!
from NZ and I would love to see kids being taught responsibility like this, it would suck being the kid but you do it with your classmates and teaching teamwork to get the job done also !
Hahaha! I accidentally got them to clean by doing it the Tom Sawyer way, meaning that it looked like I was having so much fun that the kids wanted to clean too.

I drink matcha daily for over 3 years and people can't tell my age. I am 42 years old and when I tell people that I 15 years old daughter they give me max 35 years. But most of people think I am 26-28 years old. I love Japanese food, lots of seaweed, feed your thyroid, good metabolism. I am Polish and we eat lots lots of fermented food daily. Home cood food is my favorite. Great tips thank you.
As a French person, I notice quite a few similar habits! I live in the South of France, therefore between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. We have a habit of waking up early to go swim in the sea (even in the winter), even though young people aren’t as inclined. We also hike mountains! As a region which was deeply influenced by the Romans in the past, we also have a culture of taking baths, warm and cold. Our food is also known to be very healthy, based on fresh, local vegetables and fish. To this day, you will see older people exercise everyday, too. We aren’t as particular with cleanliness though! I wish we were! It’s fascinating to learn about other cultures. And even more fascinating when it feels like we’re different, but not so different at the same time. I loved this video!

@@islamisthetruewaytogod6812 Aslamulakum. You're better off starting a youtube channel Insha'Allah. People really can't be bothered, to read paragraphs about any religion.
I only have an opinion from an American perspective but I am willing to bet 80% of their health benefits come from diet and movement. The meals look super fresh and healthy. The American diet is generally atrocious - huge portions of processed food. These videos are very inspirational - thank you!
Lots of the food they eat on a daily basis though is very high in sodium. They like fried food a LOT. Healthy bentos and sushi is not as common as we think- think about how much effort it would take every day to clean and prep all that healthy food. It’s more that they eat less per meal than Americans I think.
you aint wrong actually, everything hes descirbed ive done an alternate version of lately and i feel the same hes described, dealing with my dog and training her and keeping up with her training is a work out equivalent to the work out he mentioned, im stretching and sometimes moving my body in weird ways to get to my dog. ive recently started cooking more rice and fresh meals and some weird pains i use to get are gone, all of this in the span of a few months mind you. im from puerto rico but our culture is still american in the sense of lifestyle, the inactivity and constant consumption of processed food(nothing wrong with processed in my mind, but like everything, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing) it leads to lazy behavior. so youre pretty much spot on, its not so much the country or culture, but the choices made, japanese make better choices when it comes to their health and body xD
@@heythatsnotmywalrus2819 just because it has one of the healthiest menus doesn’t mean that’s what they actually eat. Look up the 10 most popular foods in Japan and tell me what’s not fried or full of salt
We , the Vietnamese , brush the classroom at primary school , each class has 4 groups of pupils , and each group brush the cemented floor one week , and 2 pupils in group were assigned to do that each day , after class finished .
I have adopted almost all of these healthy habits over the past two years, and thanks to the physical and spiritual strength I have gained I started my battle against the excess weight that I have been carrying around for so many years, a few days ago. the only habit that at the moment I cannot follow is the daily bathing because unfortunately I do not have a bathtub !!! Regarding food, I also find Japanese food delicious and even though I live in Italy I often eat sushi, soups and fish cooked the Japanese way! thank you for sharing your culture!
I have adopted many of these habits over the years. I think they do help you live a healthier and happier life. Instead of the exercises, I do yoga and take a daily walk, after which I meditate and write in my journal. I live in the mountains and hike once or twice a week. I think this lifestyle has helped me appreciate what I have and the beauty in our world, often in unexpected places. Thanks!
0:49 *First, the habit of taking a bath daily.* In Japan, there are more than 3000 hot spring areas. Public baths are everywhere in the city, and bathtubs are basically installed in every house. Japanese people love taking baths, even the monkeys too. And I also love it too, and basically I always enjoy lounging in the bath. I think this habit of taking a bath is a big reason why Japanese people can stay physically healthy. I think there are three main reasons. The *first* is that it warms your body, which has the effect of helping your muscles relax. *Second*, water pressure within the bath helps improve metabolism as well as excretes toxins within the body. *Thirdly*, because being in water allows your body to float, the pressure on bones and muscles are reduced, which helps to relieve back pain and stiff shoulders. When I lived in Canada and Australia, I only showered. So I know that even taking a shower will warm and refresh your body. But after all, I feel that when I take a bath, my body is more warm, refreshed and I feel less tired after that. Japan has an abundance of water, so I can take a bath every day, but in many countries it may be difficult to take a bath every day. But if you are able to, and if you are interested in it, please give it a try. 2:26 *Second, the habit of cleaning.* Japanese people love cleaning. Or rather, it's become a habit. I think it depends on the person, but basically I clean my house every day. If we have time, I also clean my neighborhood and public areas. Even Japanese soccer fans took their trash home after the world cup match. I think the reason why Japanese people clean so much is because it connects to an important concept of Shintoism, which is cleanliness. Another reason may be because we have been cleaning since early childhood at school. This cleaning habit keeps the environment around you clean and hygienic. I think this hygienic environment is one of the reasons why Japanese people can live a healthy lifestyle. 3:19 *Third, the habit of special daily exercise.* Have you ever heard the word radio calisthenics? This is a common exercise you can see in the morning in Japan. It’s called Rajio Taiso, which is a composition of many stretches and movements you do with a song. It seems that it is said to be "one of the reasons why Japan is considered to be a country of longevity" from overseas. Originally it was made in 1928 to improve the health of Japanese people. When I actually do the sequence, it looks like this. It's pretty tiring if you do it seriously. As many as 13 types of exercises are combined within 3 minutes and 13 seconds. Since it moves the body continuously , it not only has a cardio-like effect, but also has the effect of stretching like doing yoga. Also, because it is easy to do, many age groups can enjoy it, from children to the elderly. By the way, my workplace in Canada also adopted this routine every morning. 4:34 *Fourth, the habit of getting up early.* Here is an interesting story about Japanese people around 1900, which is written by Lafcadio Hearn from the United States, who was an English teacher in Japan. One morning, before the sun rose, I heard a sound near my house. I wondered what it was, and when I looked outside, the villagers were chatting and gargling, washing their faces using dich water. I was wondering what these people were doing, and as soon as the sun rose from the mountain, they all turned to the sun. They said, " Thank you for always looking over us" and prayed with a clap of their hands. Until about 100 years ago, Japanese people used to get up early every morning and worship the sun. Now, this habit only remains during the New Year, but the old Japanese used to do that every day. The reason for worshiping the sun is that in Shintoism, the sun is the supreme deity of Japan. Unfortunately, young people today don’t have such a habit, but many of the older generations still get up early and some people continue this habit. By getting up early, exposed to the morning sun, your natural clock will reset and be in tune with the day's energy. 5:58 *Fifth, the habit of eating Japanese food.* The reason why Japanese food is healthy is that it is said to be a healthy diet with a good nutritional balance. For one reason, it was registered as a healthy practice by UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013. A Japanese meal is usually composed of one soup and three side dishes. Rice, the main dish, is high in carbohydrates. Fish or soy products are high in protein. You can get vitamins and minerals from simmered and pickled vegetables. In addition, fermented foods such as miso and natto will improve intestinal digestion. In this way, Japanese food is a well-balanced and healthy diet, so you can keep your body youthful and healthy. I love eating Japanese food. It's delicious and you can eat various kinds of colorful ingredients, so it's very fun to eat. But honestly, I'm not good at making it. This is because there are many products and seasonings you need to prepare, and it takes a lot of time and effort. So, if you are good at cooking, please give it a try and make some Japanese food. 7:22 *Sixth, the habit of drinking matcha.* In modern Japan, not so many people usually drink matcha, but Japan has a habit of drinking matcha. The reason why matcha is healthy is that matcha contains an abundant amount of nutrients. For example, it is rich in minerals such as calcium and dietary fibers. It also contains many antioxidants such as catechins. Moreover, since matcha is made from tea leaves itself, it contains several times more nutrients than ordinary tea. That's why I always drink matcha every morning. I feel that drinking matcha every morning not only makes me healthier, but also makes me feel relaxed while also boosting my work performance. By the way, my great-grandmother also drank matcha every morning. I don't know if it was actually because of the matcha, but my grandma lived healthy until she was nearly 100 years old. 8:26 *Seventh, the habit of hiking mountains.* There are many mountains in Japan, and many people make it a habit to climb those mountains. I think hiking is also one of the reasons why Japanese people are healthy. This is because it strengthens your legs and feet, so your body does not weaken. In fact, my grandpa went up the mountain almost every week. Even when he was over 70, he was on his feet all the time and worked in the fields every day. He lived healthy until he was about 80 years old.

Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ------

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).

I am not Japanese, but I love your country's philosophy. I was lucky to be able to visit your country a few years ago and I have loved it. I love the traditional way of eating and I do follow the habits of healthy living. I enjoy your videos. Thank you
As I get older, I am increasingly adopting more and more of these Japanese health and lifestyle practices, and they really do have a beneficial effect. Thank you for this concise and helpful video. Subscribed! ❤
If more countries would adopt the habit of cleaning, the world would be a better place. It doesn't require an abundance of water, just a will to be clean.
If the world would adopt many of the Japanese behaviors it would be a better place...one is not talking on cell phone on public transportation..another is politeness...another is avoiding arguments and violence.. another is not walking and eating.....from my study of the culture many of the behaviors stem from Samurai, shinto and Buddhist culture....here's one.....they are honest....the Chinese observed this in 300 AD....there are .many others I cannot enumerate here. .
@@SirCanuckelhead a lot of people talk really loud about their personal things in a bus or in a subway on the phone call, it's not a good thing for both passengers and the person on the phone
@@migghhe and they can't have the same conversation with a person beside them? If a doctor called with urgent news they can not discuss it? Imo, you should not worry so much about people around you and what they are doing. If you hear some weird stuff that is a funny story.
I haven't made it to Japan yet, but I lived in South Korea for a few years. The South Korean lifestyle and diets are relatively similar. When I was in South Korea, observing a South Korean diet, I was able to keep my weight off. When I returned to the US and re-adopted an American diet, I blew up like an elephant in less than a year. There's a lot to the Japanese and South Korean diet and lifestyle that would benefit many. Thanks for this!
I worked for a few summers in th US and noticed the same thing. I gained weight fast and I was working all day always on my feet. when I got back to my homecountry I lost the extra wight and I an't say I was eating anything diffrent. I always tried to cook in the US. One thing I noticed about american food is that it is filled with sugar, the bread tasted like cake. There is more flavoured water rather than plain normal one and for 20 dollars you can buy more sweets than fruits.

In America food is gmo, full of sugar, fat and additives, carrageenan etc etc. Even if one tries to shop healthy and organic, food is really contaminated with capitalism ☠️🫤💰
As a foreigner living in Japan, I really appreciate this kind of content that shows an insight into a more intimate side of Japanese culture. Thank you for this content!

Hola Jessica, es muy interesante como se le dá la debida importancia al agua, yo consumo agua Hidrogenada y debidamente microestructurada que me genera un equipo de grado médico Japonés. Estoy en España y recomiendo ampliamente.
I Love Japan ❤ Only spent a week in your Country, but fell in Love with it. It’s the cleanest place on Earth. Even the underground train system was spotless 😮 There is a warmth from the people and the energy in your Country is unlike any place I have been to. It felt safe(even in the big city of Tokyo) and welcoming. I’m Canadian, glad you were able to experience my country. And I ours 🎉 I look forward to going back to Japan one day 😊
Every video of yours brings me to tears. You are such an amazing, vibrant, important person and I’m so grateful for your content. You are a true inspiration
As an American from the south, it is not much different. As we all know our food is known to be unhealthy, processed, and over abundant, but in my family we had our garden as do alot of rural people in south and traded with each other. My grandma got up 4:00 in the morning and did stretches. She sewed and cleaned the house every day as well as attending her garden. She passed in Jan just before her 99th peacefully in her sleep 💔❤️
This is an important reminder, to recognize that really traditional American food is connected to gardening, small farm stands and shops. How many of our grandmas canned fruits and vegetables? Think of the Victory Gardens in WW2. Then it all became done by factories who make cheap, processed, convenience food. And so many of us are now unhealthy.
The cleaning habit is one that stood out when I visited Japan. Everyday when I left my AirBnb and entered the train station entrance at Tochomae Station there were people cleaning the elevators, stairs etc. Random people at the streets picked up trash. Or when I visited some temples or shrines they usually had something at the entrance where you could wash your hands. And even washing the hands was in a very calming way (with wooden cups).

I am from Hungary but grew up in Japan and graduated from Japanese High School there, so Fukuoka is my home. Japanese culture became a part of my life at a very early age, so I hope to live a healthy long life, too :) ビデオ見てて日本がすごく恋しくなりました。来年あたりまた帰れたらいいなあ～! ビデオありがとうございます！:)
Watching this video made me realize how much I miss taking care of my body. I’m Nigerian Italian and would like to say that living in Italy really influences people to live well and eat well as well as enjoy your life. Ever since I moved to the UK there are many things that I’ve stopped doing such as getting up early, eating a balanced diet, and spending time outdoors doing all sorts of activities. The weather here is unfortunately depressing for someone who comes from hot sunny places and organic food isn’t very accessible and abundant here. The country isn’t doing well in promoting a healthy lifestyle for its citizens. Sometimes where you live will definitely impact your lifestyle, whether in a good way or bad way. Despite that this video motivated me to start making more efforts. I’m sure my body and mind will thank me in the future. I send you a hug 🤗 all the way from Scotland.
I’m Italian and I’ve been living in the UK for almost two decades. I perfectly know what you mean… the weather is horrendous and you can’t do anything about it. As for the food… the quality is terrible especially now when it’s almost impossible to find fresh produce from Southern Europe. What I can advise is to cook as much as possible at home and to do sport to lift your mood and give you some discipline which is important if you want to stay healthy. Uk lifestyle standards are declining more and more in general so we have to find some good reasons to cling on and not get depressed here 😂😅

Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) ------
I feel for you. Maybe try to find help with how to deal with the weather from the Scandinavians, they say « there is not bad weather, only bad clothes » meaning clothes unfit for the weather. Also in Scotland I think you can access pretty good meat and fish. Lastly stock up on spices, they make a world of difference when cooking and can lift a dish from blah to aah.
Love it. I have incorporated two. Matcha and Japanese breakfast, with rice and Natto, miso soup and other dishes. But I would like to add other habit: sleeping on the floor. For me there are four reasons that makes it healthy: 1. It is good for your back. And if your back is ok the rest of your body will be better. 2. You have to get up from the floor. So you continue doing this exercise even if you are very old. 3. You do exercise when you tidy your futon up. I was sleeping three weeks in a traditional futon in Japan, and they are pretty heavy. I have to use my two arms and force to take it up from the floor. 4. When your futon is in the cupborard, you have free space in your room and that is relaxing, to see not too much things over there.
Sleeping on the floor isn't going to work for me , I have arthritis and osteoarthritis and I will NEVER be able to get to the floor or get up. Cooking that weird stuff for breakfast is a NO, tea and toast is my limit in the morning , my legs are not good when I get up so I struggle even on my crutches .
I love sleeping on the floor; I have been doing this for about 7 years. I have all levels of back pain, and it almost always happens when we add a thin cushion ( the last we got was a futon cushion with organic bamboo and copper interwoven) and while the dreaming was wild and intense, the sleeping was less and the pain was incredibly increased. Remove the futon, sleep on 1-2 blankets, and I can spring out of bed at 4:45 am with my roosters. Happy to see so many people participating in these basic rules of Earth living.
I read this book called Ikigai and what was fascinating is how people who live on Okinawa island were super-centenarians (lived 100+ years) because of healthy habits such as in this video. Diet, exercising (not strenuously but consistently) and tight-knit community is what kept these people going! It seems Japanese people also find their purpose and meaning in life (ikigai) which makes them happy. And happy is healthy, vice versa :)
Hi Aki! Thanks for another great video! I might just have to do those stretches in my day-to-day life. My great-grandmother was from Holland and she lived to be 107 years old! My grandpa attributes it to how everyone in the family worked on the farm and lived off of it. They got eggs from the chickens and fresh milk from the cows and food from the garden.
Thank you so much for this. It was both informative and entertaining. If I have my way, I'd love to spend my remaining time on Earth in Japan. I adore Japan, her people and the Japanese culture. (With love from Nigeria 🇳🇬)
By watching your videos I learn a lot about Japanese culture, traditions and customs. Love learning all these. Thank you very much sharing your life with us.
I agree with your thoughts. I live in Japan and still after all these years trying to put my feelings into words. I could add so many comments but one in particular is the respect for personal space, given and received. I love life more living here even through these difficult times.
I like that emphasis on cleanliness. Clean body, clean environment and other healthy habits. I hope to visit Japan one day, it's a fascinating country with unique culture and beautiful people.
I think we are doing similar habits. It's very important to get early, eat healthy and take a bath , clean and hike as well. I need to learn how to prepare 🍵 matcha because in our family we drink coffee every day. That video inspired me. Thanks for sharing this. I wish I could travel to Japan one day. Greetings from Costa Rica :)
I really love your videos. I discovered your videos yesterday as a proposition of RUclips matching with my interests. I live in Greece and here also we used to have a healthier life and the famous mediteranean diet, although now the majority of people dont follow this lifestyle anymore. I am also a fan of Japan and japanese habits. Thank you anyway. Your videos it's a reminder for me to stick on what I love to do with my eating habits and exercising. Arigato.
Greetings from Germany. I'll try to connect my daily routine with some of the Japanese habits. So much effort and facts included in your Vids. I'm so glad to follow your channel.
1. Daily Bath 2. Cleaning 3. Exercise 4. Getting up early 5. Japanese food 6. Drinking matcha 7. Hiking 🏔 8_ sleeping early 🫢 this is also so important
@@lucielquinn6489 And you clearly didnt understand my point. Culture is subjective its not objective. Therefore anything you think you know or you find in culture is not valid.
@@CarlosPerez-em3wu Well you clearly mistook my point. All I said was that I got a lot cleaner after being in Japan, as the video states it is a general habit of most Japanese people to keep their space clean. I was told off for not keeping my room in order most of the time. And as a Danish person, I would like to speak for MY people and say that most of them are less cleanly than the Japanese people I know. Plus I never brought up culture, that was you.
In Spain we don't get up early and sleep a lot and have one of the longest lifespans. Most of these healthy tips have to be taken in another context. Don't need to take a bath just shower daily, don't drink matcha but have abundant liquids, you don't need a Japanese diet but a healthy one, You can substitute hiking for any form of exercise, cleaning is non restrictive and exercise and hiking are redundant but maybe being around nature or tending to a garden can give you peace. Overall great tips and applicable anywhere in the world.
I have been to Spain and love the more relaxed lifestyle. Getting up at 8, cafe breakfast. Work 10 - 2, siesta time. Return to work 4 - 6, then home. Get ready for a street side cafe meal at 8 and enjoy the Mediterranean diet, tapas is my favorite. Both the Japanese and Spanish lifestyles are relaxing and healthy in their own ways. What they have in common is the lack of unwanted stress due to a familiar peaceful routine.
Starting from August, I’ll be studying in Japan for 2 years. RUclips suggested me to watch this video and I’m grateful to it for it. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it!
I feel a big respect for Japan and the japanese people.Grown up with animes and inventions of Japan,a big lover of green tea and sushi and driving a Toyota Corolla hybrid,i appreciate the japanese culture in generell.We can learn a lot of things from Japan here in west europe... Greetings from South Germany🇯🇵🇩🇪
I truly enjoyed my 3 years working in Japan! I definitely learned a lot from living there. I would say honorable mentions could be 1) the squatting and seiza sitting positions instead of always using chairs, 2) timely regular portion controlled meals, and 3) grandparents being heavily involved in helping raise their grandchildren thus giving them a lot more purpose in life which has a strong impact on longevity. Subscribed!
5:07 just like in my hometown Dersim where we Alevites used to do it. Praying to sun at sunrise and sunset. Also put on a candle every thursday just before sunset. Nice video✌️
You inspired me to clean my flat 😅 I have chronic pain, and i always feel healthier and more in control when eating Asian insired foods and walking as often as possible 😊 I'm very lucky that my health and privilege allows me to make those lifestyle changes 💕
The amount of walking and the type of food I’m limited to eat while I’m here is one of the reasons why I feel so much more healthier. My feet have felt it the most. I still haven’t been brave enough to go to the onsen, although it looks fun and refreshing.
To me, cleaning demonstrates respect; not only for the item but also indirectly for the person doing the cleaning. It relates to a self-respect and developing an appreciation for the things around you. In turn it can lead to less consumerism and a wholistic approach to caring for not only oneself, but for everything around you.
Oh wow, thank you for this video! I love japanese culture, it's so different in comparison to other cultures. I'm from Poland, we lost the apprecieation of nature and health at some point. I would love to incorporate all of those steps into my daily life! I recently started to walk to the forest daily and it improved my mood & mobility significantly. Trees, blooming flowers & singing birds are the best medicine
i love THIS VIDEO!! I will now make a point to be out on my little balcony at sunrise to see the tree peeking through the trees at me as it comes up. What a beautiful custom.
I'd discovered Radio Taiso during pandemic and been doing it daily for around 2 years now! Really helps when you spend long hours sitting at your desk... Thank you, Japan! 😁❤
I gotta say those habits are different from the most popular ones in my country, however they are very close to my mindset. Thanks for sharing! :) Discovered your channel recently and I must say it's just perfect for me. All the best regards from Poland.
We in India also follow many of these habits. Getting up early. Doing daily exercise and Yoga. Bathing daily...but not in a bathtub. Cleanliness. Climbing hills. Eating Indian Food.
I really like your videos, Aki. It is as if I was walking in Japan itself. I have always appreciated Japanese culture, food, history, wabi sabi, literature, cinema and drama (Noh and Kabuki). Oh yes, I also appreciate you! どうもありがとうございます! I'm also studying Japanese because one of my favorite Japanese writers, Shuhei Fujisawa 藤沢 周平, has only one book with his stories translated into English. His literary executors will not allow future translations, so, I learn Japanese so I can read all of his books.
Thank you for this video. I am indian but born in South Africa 🇿🇦 I was taught to pray to the sun every morning 🌄 🙏 every day. It awsome how the Asian culture connects
@@sadieguenther1948 I pray to God , the sun is God he made it. My family culture has been doing this for years before me and it causes no harm to others. Think before you tell a stranger how to live their lives.
2 года назад+8
Thank you for sharing your culture! It helps me a lot!
I am gonna try to clean more and walk, I take very hot showers in the early morning, I like green tea and I already eat alot of Japanese food. Thanks for the motivation.😃
Hello from Italy, the oldest country in the world. I agree with many points: healthy food, daily exercise, social life, the bidet, and mind of your business... Great teaching from our old italian grannies
Amazing ! It's almost what I always do taught by my grandma who lived until 96. Except nature or seaside walks, eating traditionnal french food (mainly vegetables) and drinking black tea and chicoree good for the gut too... Also cold bath too not only hot ones... Always use wiseness of old people that lived long !
As I was watching this video I remembered my experience of working as a councelor in a tourist camp for kids where we woke up early surrounded by river and mountains, breathing fresh air, exercising in the morning, serving breakfast together, doing daily territory clean up after the breakfast and going hiking. This was a truly rich life. I think daily cleanups are super healthy for the mind and space, sometimes it requires a hell lot of a discipline in the beginning, but then it becomes natural. This practice brings fulfilment = dopamine = healthy drive to start a day.
We Indians 1 . Rise early and do 12 Surya Namaskarams looking at the rising sun. 2. Bath before breakfast. 3 breakfast rice based steamed food, Dals, Curd,coconut chutney or green chutneys 4 walk 100 ft after every meal. 5 squat and exercise 6 visit hill temples 7. Eat light before going to bed
I ve been living in Japan for a while now and I always find interesting insights in your videos, even when I think I know the topics very well. I love the idea of thanking the sun, I m gonna do it with my daughter when we watch the sunset together. In another video, you mentioned wearing kimonos on new year, and I am also planning to implement the tradition in my home :D. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much, I find your videos so - educational. I recently met a nice Japanese young woman who lives in Australia and she told me in a conversation how to make sushi. I will contact her for more recipes. All the other things I can do easily. I havent located macha tea yet. I live in the Austrian mountains in Europe. Early morning I always meditate for an hour then go for half hour walk. I think a bath would be good just after that. I work from home so it should all be easy! Keep the videos coming. Thank you.
I’m getting interested to live in Japan for life because of the many great habits and lifestyle of the Japanese people, thanks for sharing valuable info🙏💐💕
I loved your video. How easy and simple. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to go to gym, eat fancy, organic food, drink protein shakes, collagen and more staff. Your advice is for everyone, no matter what your finances or standard of living is. Everyone can afford it. Thanks so much. Greetings from Poland
Hi Samurai. This video has so much information. I am very eager to know the lifestyle of Japanese. I had an opportunity to work with a few Japanese and I always admired them and their culture. I am impressed by the way they give importance to every detail of their work. I liked this content and looking for more such informative videos.
In Finland we use the sauna very often if not every day. It deep-cleanses your body from toxins, just like you mention bathing. I think you have very good customs and I agree with the importance of cleanliness especially.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom on living well. I do admire the Japanese culture. Have a great month. I live in Trinidad and Tobago in the caribbean. To live well I: meditate, be in nature, drink hebal teas, eat gluton free/sugar free and dairy free, sun gaze, do what inspires me, qigong/yoga, honour my space and select my company and keep my environment clean and tidy. Thank you for asking.
@@SamuraiMatcha When you visit the caribbean, I can offer you tips if you wish. For qi gong data go to youtube 'qi gong meditation'. Have fun and a great month.
I am glad that I am Japanese but also being a New York native person to get accustomed to these habits since childhood. Drinking matcha isn't my routine or part of my ritual at all but I do however drink coffee with or without a creamer for dietary purposes. Not only that but hearing the fact of getting up early in the morning to pray towards the sun is something I learned and I wish to get into (well really "hatsumimi"). Though Japan has many social problems like you and Let's Ask Shogo say, its these positive videos that makes me wanted to say having a good pride in being Japanese and who I am personally. I wish to see more videos like this soon.
Waking up early(4.00) is the most life changing habit I've created. And that I use those early hours to exercise- walking 1-2h or at gym. It boosts up energy levels and is effecting the whole day. I just found your channel and like it a lot- thank you❤️
Hey there, I really enjoyed your video 🤗 You've inspired me to resume taking daily baths. I used to do so all the time, I find it very relaxing, but I got out of the habit for some reason. I think these are all wonderful suggestions. Thank you for sharing the wisdom and practices of your culture with us. May you also live a healthy long life 😊
Thank you so much for your Videos, especially this one. I agree with you, the japanese habits are healthy. Since I moved into another flat I miss my bath tube very very much. Some weeks ago I startet with radio calistenics and I love it. Daily cleaning ist the next routine I will start. I love japanese way of cleaning. Thank you for sharing with us your habits.
I loved this list of healthy Japanese Habits! I had the good fortune to visit Japan for three weeks in 2007. I got to stay with a family. And my favorite part was the soaking tubs. In America we can’t save our bathwater because we don’t have a separate shower to clean before using the bath. In this way we could save a lot of water. My dream is to someday have a Japanese style bathroom with the hand shower and stool to wash off and a big soaking tub where I can save the water for my husband and myself to reuse, Because we go into the tub we are already clean first. We tend to bed first thing in the morning in America. Which means that you go to bed dirty. The bath also relaxes you before bed and helps you to have a restful sleep. I would like to know more about your daily cleaning. What time do you do it? How long does it take. One thing I think is very nice about Japanese homes is that people take their shoes off. I think it keeps the house so much cleaner. But my husband does not want to take his shoes off when he comes in. He does not want to wear slippers. It’s OK I love him. It just means our floors are more dirty faster.
I would like to point out that not all American homes are built the same way, nor do the people have the same habits. I know plenty of people who have a separate tub and shower. Most of us also shower in the morning to refresh, wake up, and start our work day and bath at night to relax first and then wash before bed. I put shoe covers by the door so that people can wear them over their shoes when they come in. We only wear shoes across the hard floors and not the carpeted areas. A swiffer wet jet may help you clean your floors daily to keep it clean if he refuses to remove his shoes. I would do it at night after everyone is gone to bed. That way, you know that no more traffic is going across the floors until the next day. And then once a week actually mop the floors.
Today only I found your channel and I watched many videos. I love all of them, your style of presenting them, your humor basically everything!! I never traveled overseas but if possible I really want to visit Japan!! I like Japanese people, their cleanliness, way of living. My country India also inherit so many good things. But I really like to know more about Japan, about people, their habits, traditions, eating habits, etc etc etc Thanks for sharing really good content.
This made me notice how long it's been since I last took a bath... I'd love to do it at least once a week as a form of self care and relaxation, but my mom expects me to be out of bathroom in like 15 mins so showering is the only option EDIT: 24.11.2022. I'm currently taking my first bath of the year lol And let me tell you The moment I sat down in warm water I felt different It was so nice I can deff see how doing this every once in a while would make you more relaxed (warm baths=relaxation=less stress=healthier looking skin+hair+nails=youthful look)
The fact that Japanese bathtubs are deeper is something I noticed that makes a big difference. When you sit in a North American bath that are put into apartments you get cold because you can't fully submerge your body.
not if you have an american body type...
As a European who visited the States, I had exactly this thought. And I am a tiny human. I ended up either with my legs stretched out leaning on the wall next to the tub, so that my upper body could be submerged....or sitting upright to soak my lower half😅. Having boobs didn't help.😂
I noticed that too! I LOVE baths but only when the tub is deep and a good sized tub is hard to find in America unless you own a big house or have a customized bathroom. It’s almost never a thing in apartments which is super sad
@@annai5224 I've seen these! They sound really awesome. Great solution for people who want a deep bath on a limited budget with space restrictions.
The house I live in was previously owned by an elderly woman, and it has a walk-in tub. The tub has a little bench for sitting and then a deeper foot area. I can sit in the foot area and have water up to my chin. It's really lovely. If I didn't have that option, what you're describing would probably be my second choice. Having a deep bath is just a game changer in terms of managing tension and overall wellbeing.
@@anhelaanhela4996 I mean I'm very slim and short and I still can't fully submerge 🤷
One thing that strikes me about the Japanese is that everything seems to be art and nature. Everything seems to have a refined aesthetic and ties into the surrounding nature. Incredible really.
A lot of countries in asia are this way and we are influenced by the japanese and chinese culture, sadly western culture is popping up everywhere and things like healthy foods are now replaced with pringles, cheetos, and a kfc on some corners...it is so so important to retain our culture! If everyone becomes western these beautiful practices will disappear!
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen.

@@sew_gal7340 I agree with you totally.
Yeah look up Shintoism. Might bring some clarity as to why that is a common occurrence within Japanese culture.
@@kaitlinshaw225 Thank you. I’ve looked into it a bit. I’ll have another look.
I really like how japanese don't have that "servant system" Unless you are super duper rich......Students clean their classes labs basically what ever they use, it's very important to teach children that there is no shame in cleaning your own house, class, school even neighbour hood
Completely agree with this. I'm an American who works with kids, and I always make it a point to encourage/teach them to clean up after themselves. It's an important lesson to learn at an early age!
from NZ and I would love to see kids being taught responsibility like this, it would suck being the kid but you do it with your classmates and teaching teamwork to get the job done also !
Hahaha! I accidentally got them to clean by doing it the Tom Sawyer way, meaning that it looked like I was having so much fun that the kids wanted to clean too.

Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.

Cleaning is considered as spiritual practice in Japan.
I drink matcha daily for over 3 years and people can't tell my age. I am 42 years old and when I tell people that I 15 years old daughter they give me max 35 years. But most of people think I am 26-28 years old. I love Japanese food, lots of seaweed, feed your thyroid, good metabolism. I am Polish and we eat lots lots of fermented food daily. Home cood food is my favorite. Great tips thank you.
As a French person, I notice quite a few similar habits! I live in the South of France, therefore between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. We have a habit of waking up early to go swim in the sea (even in the winter), even though young people aren’t as inclined. We also hike mountains! As a region which was deeply influenced by the Romans in the past, we also have a culture of taking baths, warm and cold. Our food is also known to be very healthy, based on fresh, local vegetables and fish. To this day, you will see older people exercise everyday, too. We aren’t as particular with cleanliness though! I wish we were! It’s fascinating to learn about other cultures. And even more fascinating when it feels like we’re different, but not so different at the same time. I loved this video!

What is mucha
Taking a bath daily or twice a day is just a common sense. Even winter I take a bath 2 times a day .. in summer even more
@@surinderpal5944 matcha is ground powder of green tea leaves.
I only have an opinion from an American perspective but I am willing to bet 80% of their health benefits come from diet and movement. The meals look super fresh and healthy. The American diet is generally atrocious - huge portions of processed food. These videos are very inspirational - thank you!
Lots of the food they eat on a daily basis though is very high in sodium. They like fried food a LOT. Healthy bentos and sushi is not as common as we think- think about how much effort it would take every day to clean and prep all that healthy food. It’s more that they eat less per meal than Americans I think.
@@schybux632 Japan has one of the healthiest diets and menus around. And it really doesn't take that much time. Especially the way they cook it.
@@schybux632 That proves that salt is not the enemy, is the sugar and fats combined.
you aint wrong actually, everything hes descirbed ive done an alternate version of lately and i feel the same hes described, dealing with my dog and training her and keeping up with her training is a work out equivalent to the work out he mentioned, im stretching and sometimes moving my body in weird ways to get to my dog. ive recently started cooking more rice and fresh meals and some weird pains i use to get are gone, all of this in the span of a few months mind you. im from puerto rico but our culture is still american in the sense of lifestyle, the inactivity and constant consumption of processed food(nothing wrong with processed in my mind, but like everything, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing) it leads to lazy behavior. so youre pretty much spot on, its not so much the country or culture, but the choices made, japanese make better choices when it comes to their health and body xD
@@heythatsnotmywalrus2819 just because it has one of the healthiest menus doesn’t mean that’s what they actually eat. Look up the 10 most popular foods in Japan and tell me what’s not fried or full of salt
I loved the habit of kids cleaning at school at very young age and loved the way cleanliness is prioritized !
We , the Vietnamese , brush the classroom at primary school , each class has 4 groups of pupils , and each group brush the cemented floor one week , and 2 pupils in group were assigned to do that each day , after class finished .
Hi i
I feel like I am becoming a better human just from watching your videos and making better choices every day.
I have adopted almost all of these healthy habits over the past two years, and thanks to the physical and spiritual strength I have gained I started my battle against the excess weight that I have been carrying around for so many years, a few days ago. the only habit that at the moment I cannot follow is the daily bathing because unfortunately I do not have a bathtub !!! Regarding food, I also find Japanese food delicious and even though I live in Italy I often eat sushi, soups and fish cooked the Japanese way! thank you for sharing your culture!
Thank you!
If you can take foot bath, it offers many benefits, specially if you don’t have a tub.
Yea, I love ramen =P
I have adopted many of these habits over the years. I think they do help you live a healthier and happier life. Instead of the exercises, I do yoga and take a daily walk, after which I meditate and write in my journal. I live in the mountains and hike once or twice a week. I think this lifestyle has helped me appreciate what I have and the beauty in our world, often in unexpected places. Thanks!

0:49 *First, the habit of taking a bath daily.*
In Japan, there are more than 3000 hot spring areas. Public baths are everywhere in the city, and bathtubs are basically installed in every house. Japanese people love taking baths, even the monkeys too. And I also love it too, and basically I always enjoy lounging in the bath. I think this habit of taking a bath is a big reason why Japanese people can stay physically healthy. I think there are three main reasons. The *first* is that it warms your body, which has the effect of helping your muscles relax. *Second*, water pressure within the bath helps improve metabolism as well as excretes toxins within the body. *Thirdly*, because being in water allows your body to float, the pressure on bones and muscles are reduced, which helps to relieve back pain and stiff shoulders.
When I lived in Canada and Australia, I only showered. So I know that even taking a shower will warm and refresh your body. But after all, I feel that when I take a bath, my body is more warm, refreshed and I feel less tired after that. Japan has an abundance of water, so I can take a bath every day, but in many countries it may be difficult to take a bath every day. But if you are able to, and if you are interested in it, please give it a try.
2:26 *Second, the habit of cleaning.*
Japanese people love cleaning. Or rather, it's become a habit. I think it depends on the person, but basically I clean my house every day. If we have time, I also clean my neighborhood and public areas. Even Japanese soccer fans took their trash home after the world cup match. I think the reason why Japanese people clean so much is because it connects to an important concept of Shintoism, which is cleanliness.
Another reason may be because we have been cleaning since early childhood at school. This cleaning habit keeps the environment around you clean and hygienic. I think this hygienic environment is one of the reasons why Japanese people can live a healthy lifestyle.
3:19 *Third, the habit of special daily exercise.*
Have you ever heard the word radio calisthenics? This is a common exercise you can see in the morning in Japan. It’s called Rajio Taiso, which is a composition of many stretches and movements you do with a song. It seems that it is said to be "one of the reasons why Japan is considered to be a country of longevity" from overseas. Originally it was made in 1928 to improve the health of Japanese people. When I actually do the sequence, it looks like this. It's pretty tiring if you do it seriously. As many as 13 types of exercises are combined within 3 minutes and 13 seconds. Since it moves the body continuously , it not only has a cardio-like effect, but also has the effect of stretching like doing yoga. Also, because it is easy to do, many age groups can enjoy it, from children to the elderly. By the way, my workplace in Canada also adopted this routine every morning.
4:34 *Fourth, the habit of getting up early.*
Here is an interesting story about Japanese people around 1900, which is written by Lafcadio Hearn from the United States, who was an English teacher in Japan. One morning, before the sun rose, I heard a sound near my house. I wondered what it was, and when I looked outside, the villagers were chatting and gargling, washing their faces using dich water. I was wondering what these people were doing, and as soon as the sun rose from the mountain, they all turned to the sun. They said, " Thank you for always looking over us" and prayed with a clap of their hands. Until about 100 years ago, Japanese people used to get up early every morning and worship the sun. Now, this habit only remains during the New Year, but the old Japanese used to do that every day. The reason for worshiping the sun is that in Shintoism, the sun is the supreme deity of Japan.
Unfortunately, young people today don’t have such a habit, but many of the older generations still get up early and some people continue this habit. By getting up early, exposed to the morning sun, your natural clock will reset and be in tune with the day's energy.
5:58 *Fifth, the habit of eating Japanese food.*
The reason why Japanese food is healthy is that it is said to be a healthy diet with a good nutritional balance. For one reason, it was registered as a healthy practice by UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013. A Japanese meal is usually composed of one soup and three side dishes. Rice, the main dish, is high in carbohydrates. Fish or soy products are high in protein. You can get vitamins and minerals from simmered and pickled vegetables. In addition, fermented foods such as miso and natto will improve intestinal digestion. In this way, Japanese food is a well-balanced and healthy diet, so you can keep your body youthful and healthy.
I love eating Japanese food. It's delicious and you can eat various kinds of colorful ingredients, so it's very fun to eat. But honestly, I'm not good at making it. This is because there are many products and seasonings you need to prepare, and it takes a lot of time and effort. So, if you are good at cooking, please give it a try and make some Japanese food.
7:22 *Sixth, the habit of drinking matcha.*
In modern Japan, not so many people usually drink matcha, but Japan has a habit of drinking matcha. The reason why matcha is healthy is that matcha contains an abundant amount of nutrients. For example, it is rich in minerals such as calcium and dietary fibers. It also contains many antioxidants such as catechins. Moreover, since matcha is made from tea leaves itself, it contains several times more nutrients than ordinary tea.
That's why I always drink matcha every morning. I feel that drinking matcha every morning not only makes me healthier, but also makes me feel relaxed while also boosting my work performance. By the way, my great-grandmother also drank matcha every morning. I don't know if it was actually because of the matcha, but my grandma lived healthy until she was nearly 100 years old.
8:26 *Seventh, the habit of hiking mountains.*
There are many mountains in Japan, and many people make it a habit to climb those mountains. I think hiking is also one of the reasons why Japanese people are healthy. This is because it strengthens your legs and feet, so your body does not weaken. In fact, my grandpa went up the mountain almost every week. Even when he was over 70, he was on his feet all the time and worked in the fields every day. He lived healthy until he was about 80 years old.

Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth.

Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.

What is proper bath, lol??
They take warm bath as a way to relax & unwind after a day!
You missed drinking matcha
Wrong
Thank you!
I am not Japanese, but I love your country's philosophy. I was lucky to be able to visit your country a few years ago and I have loved it. I love the traditional way of eating and I do follow the habits of healthy living. I enjoy your videos. Thank you
As I get older, I am increasingly adopting more and more of these Japanese health and lifestyle practices, and they really do have a beneficial effect. Thank you for this concise and helpful video. Subscribed! ❤
If more countries would adopt the habit of cleaning, the world would be a better place.
It doesn't require an abundance of water, just a will to be clean.
If the world would adopt many of the Japanese behaviors it would be a better place...one is not talking on cell phone on public transportation..another is politeness...another is avoiding arguments and violence.. another is not walking and eating.....from my study of the culture many of the behaviors stem from Samurai, shinto and Buddhist culture....here's one.....they are honest....the Chinese observed this in 300 AD....there are .many others I cannot enumerate here. .
Declutter,
and then cleaning becomes easier.
Wait, how is taking on a cell phone on public transit a bad thing? Are two people not supposed to talk to each other?
@@SirCanuckelhead a lot of people talk really loud about their personal things in a bus or in a subway on the phone call, it's not a good thing for both passengers and the person on the phone
@@migghhe and they can't have the same conversation with a person beside them? If a doctor called with urgent news they can not discuss it? Imo, you should not worry so much about people around you and what they are doing. If you hear some weird stuff that is a funny story.
I haven't made it to Japan yet, but I lived in South Korea for a few years. The South Korean lifestyle and diets are relatively similar. When I was in South Korea, observing a South Korean diet, I was able to keep my weight off. When I returned to the US and re-adopted an American diet, I blew up like an elephant in less than a year. There's a lot to the Japanese and South Korean diet and lifestyle that would benefit many. Thanks for this!
I worked for a few summers in th US and noticed the same thing. I gained weight fast and I was working all day always on my feet. when I got back to my homecountry I lost the extra wight and I an't say I was eating anything diffrent. I always tried to cook in the US. One thing I noticed about american food is that it is filled with sugar, the bread tasted like cake. There is more flavoured water rather than plain normal one and for 20 dollars you can buy more sweets than fruits.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).

I Love Japan ❤ Only spent a week in your Country, but fell in Love with it. It’s the cleanest place on Earth. Even the underground train system was spotless 😮 There is a warmth from the people and the energy in your Country is unlike any place I have been to. It felt safe(even in the big city of Tokyo) and welcoming. I’m Canadian, glad you were able to experience my country. And I ours 🎉 I look forward to going back to Japan one day 😊
Every video of yours brings me to tears. You are such an amazing, vibrant, important person and I’m so grateful for your content. You are a true inspiration
As an American from the south, it is not much different. As we all know our food is known to be unhealthy, processed, and over abundant, but in my family we had our garden as do alot of rural people in south and traded with each other. My grandma got up 4:00 in the morning and did stretches. She sewed and cleaned the house every day as well as attending her garden. She passed in Jan just before her 99th peacefully in her sleep 💔❤️
When was her exact bday, if u don't mind me asking. 🙂. Mine is 1/17 🤗
Sorry for your loss. She sounds magnificent 💕
I think Japan and America are totally different.
@@hani8933 lol amazing perspective
This is an important reminder, to recognize that really traditional American food is connected to gardening, small farm stands and shops. How many of our grandmas canned fruits and vegetables? Think of the Victory Gardens in WW2. Then it all became done by factories who make cheap, processed, convenience food. And so many of us are now unhealthy.
That’s a beautiful way to live..healthy food, exercise, appreciation for another day of life. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you!!
@@SamuraiMatcha welcome!!
I love taking baths. I've always said I feel more refreshed after a bath than a shower. It feels like a reset button for my body..
Actually, the Japanese scrub and rinse off before they get in the bath.
This should be made global. That kids should be taught cleaning not just home but surroundings
4:43 Good! Thank you! I always thought he was from the Caribbean ...
The cleaning habit is one that stood out when I visited Japan. Everyday when I left my AirBnb and entered the train station entrance at Tochomae Station there were people cleaning the elevators, stairs etc. Random people at the streets picked up trash. Or when I visited some temples or shrines they usually had something at the entrance where you could wash your hands. And even washing the hands was in a very calming way (with wooden cups).
Cleaning and rising early was common in Germany aswell. But bathing only 1× a week, and the diet is very different!! 😅
This such a new concept to me but it sounds beautiful honestly people working together - my only concern is what and how much chemicals are being used
@@FrogeniusW.G. as long as diet avoids processed foods or simple processed food without lot of ingredient I think any cuisine can apply :)

Watching this video made me realize how much I miss taking care of my body.
I’m Nigerian Italian and would like to say that living in Italy really influences people to live well and eat well as well as enjoy your life. Ever since I moved to the UK there are many things that I’ve stopped doing such as getting up early, eating a balanced diet, and spending time outdoors doing all sorts of activities. The weather here is unfortunately depressing for someone who comes from hot sunny places and organic food isn’t very accessible and abundant here. The country isn’t doing well in promoting a healthy lifestyle for its citizens.
Sometimes where you live will definitely impact your lifestyle, whether in a good way or bad way.
Despite that this video motivated me to start making more efforts. I’m sure my body and mind will thank me in the future.
I send you a hug 🤗 all the way from Scotland.
Torna a casa dai ahah
Try 'The No Catch Co' restaurant food one day if you are going to Brighton =)
I’m Italian and I’ve been living in the UK for almost two decades. I perfectly know what you mean… the weather is horrendous and you can’t do anything about it. As for the food… the quality is terrible especially now when it’s almost impossible to find fresh produce from Southern Europe. What I can advise is to cook as much as possible at home and to do sport to lift your mood and give you some discipline which is important if you want to stay healthy. Uk lifestyle standards are declining more and more in general so we have to find some good reasons to cling on and not get depressed here 😂😅

Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

I feel for you. Maybe try to find help with how to deal with the weather from the Scandinavians, they say « there is not bad weather, only bad clothes » meaning clothes unfit for the weather. Also in Scotland I think you can access pretty good meat and fish. Lastly stock up on spices, they make a world of difference when cooking and can lift a dish from blah to aah.
This is why im moving to japan when im older.. Japan is also very beautiful and lively, so id wake up every morning with a smile.
Thank you for sharing life skills 😊
Love it. I have incorporated two. Matcha and Japanese breakfast, with rice and Natto, miso soup and other dishes. But I would like to add other habit: sleeping on the floor. For me there are four reasons that makes it healthy:
1. It is good for your back. And if your back is ok the rest of your body will be better.
2. You have to get up from the floor. So you continue doing this exercise even if you are very old.
3. You do exercise when you tidy your futon up. I was sleeping three weeks in a traditional futon in Japan, and they are pretty heavy. I have to use my two arms and force to take it up from the floor.
4. When your futon is in the cupborard, you have free space in your room and that is relaxing, to see not too much things over there.
Sleeping on the floor isn't going to work for me , I have arthritis and osteoarthritis and I will NEVER be able to get to the floor or get up.
Cooking that weird stuff for breakfast is a NO, tea and toast is my limit in the morning , my legs are not good when I get up so I struggle even on my crutches .
@@maryburger1232 Bless your soul and your bigotry.
I love sleeping on the floor; I have been doing this for about 7 years. I have all levels of back pain, and it almost always happens when we add a thin cushion ( the last we got was a futon cushion with organic bamboo and copper interwoven) and while the dreaming was wild and intense, the sleeping was less and the pain was incredibly increased. Remove the futon, sleep on 1-2 blankets, and I can spring out of bed at 4:45 am with my roosters. Happy to see so many people participating in these basic rules of Earth living.
@@katieborchert9704 I'm confused. Are you saying that you had back pain, but sleeping on the floor has helped?
@@deadparrot5953 yes!
I read this book called Ikigai and what was fascinating is how people who live on Okinawa island were super-centenarians (lived 100+ years) because of healthy habits such as in this video. Diet, exercising (not strenuously but consistently) and tight-knit community is what kept these people going! It seems Japanese people also find their purpose and meaning in life (ikigai) which makes them happy. And happy is healthy, vice versa :)
I read Ikigai too. The book should have more pages, lol!
What exercises would they do?
@@LA-lq1zf the exercises are in the book. they actually have illustrations and instructions on how to do them as well!
Hi Aki! Thanks for another great video! I might just have to do those stretches in my day-to-day life. My great-grandmother was from Holland and she lived to be 107 years old! My grandpa attributes it to how everyone in the family worked on the farm and lived off of it. They got eggs from the chickens and fresh milk from the cows and food from the garden.
That's great!! Thank you for telling me about your grandpa;-D
Thank you so much for this.
It was both informative and entertaining.
If I have my way, I'd love to spend my remaining time on Earth in Japan.
I adore Japan, her people and the Japanese culture.
(With love from Nigeria 🇳🇬)
By watching your videos I learn a lot about Japanese culture, traditions and customs. Love learning all these. Thank you very much sharing your life with us.
I agree with your thoughts. I live in Japan and still after all these years trying to put my feelings into words. I could add so many comments but one in particular is the respect for personal space, given and received. I love life more living here even through these difficult times.
Thank you for educating us with the healthy habits of the great Japanese people. Long and healthy life to all. 🙇♂️
I have started liking Japan and Japanese people. They are so sooo human ❤
I like that emphasis on cleanliness. Clean body, clean environment and other healthy habits. I hope to visit Japan one day, it's a fascinating country with unique culture and beautiful people.
I think we are doing similar habits. It's very important to get early, eat healthy and take a bath , clean and hike as well. I need to learn how to prepare 🍵 matcha because in our family we drink coffee every day. That video inspired me. Thanks for sharing this. I wish I could travel to Japan one day. Greetings from Costa Rica :)
Thank you for this video! Love the Japanese culture and finding all of this amazing and beautiful.
i feel so safe in Japan. i hope it never changes!
I really love your videos. I discovered your videos yesterday as a proposition of RUclips matching with my interests. I live in Greece and here also we used to have a healthier life and the famous mediteranean diet, although now the majority of people dont follow this lifestyle anymore. I am also a fan of Japan and japanese habits. Thank you anyway. Your videos it's a reminder for me to stick on what I love to do with my eating habits and exercising. Arigato.
Greetings from Germany. I'll try to connect my daily routine with some of the Japanese habits. So much effort and facts included in your Vids. I'm so glad to follow your channel.
1. Daily Bath
2. Cleaning
3. Exercise
4. Getting up early
5. Japanese food
6. Drinking matcha
7. Hiking 🏔
8_ sleeping early 🫢 this is also so important
After living with a Japanese family for a year, I can happily say I've adopted some of these habits! Especially the one about cleanliness :))
cleanliness shoud not be the domain of any one culture.
thats just ignorant.
@@CarlosPerez-em3wu Well you clearly didn’t watch the video…
@@lucielquinn6489 And you clearly didnt understand my point.
Culture is subjective its not objective.
Therefore anything you think you know or you find in culture is not valid.
@@CarlosPerez-em3wu Well you clearly mistook my point. All I said was that I got a lot cleaner after being in Japan, as the video states it is a general habit of most Japanese people to keep their space clean. I was told off for not keeping my room in order most of the time. And as a Danish person, I would like to speak for MY people and say that most of them are less cleanly than the Japanese people I know. Plus I never brought up culture, that was you.
@@CarlosPerez-em3wu it is a part of it - not the whole, and all culture care about the same things in different ways
In Spain we don't get up early and sleep a lot and have one of the longest lifespans. Most of these healthy tips have to be taken in another context. Don't need to take a bath just shower daily, don't drink matcha but have abundant liquids, you don't need a Japanese diet but a healthy one, You can substitute hiking for any form of exercise, cleaning is non restrictive and exercise and hiking are redundant but maybe being around nature or tending to a garden can give you peace. Overall great tips and applicable anywhere in the world.
I have been to Spain and love the more relaxed lifestyle. Getting up at 8, cafe breakfast. Work 10 - 2, siesta time. Return to work 4 - 6, then home. Get ready for a street side cafe meal at 8 and enjoy the Mediterranean diet, tapas is my favorite.
Both the Japanese and Spanish lifestyles are relaxing and healthy in their own ways. What they have in common is the lack of unwanted stress due to a familiar peaceful routine.
I love how the Japanese food is mostly fresh, local, in small portions, divers, and natural.
I just love Japanese life style. I just love everything about Japan such sweet people.
Starting from August, I’ll be studying in Japan for 2 years. RUclips suggested me to watch this video and I’m grateful to it for it. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it!
sugoi!
I feel a big respect for Japan and the japanese people.Grown up with animes and inventions of Japan,a big lover of green tea and sushi and driving a Toyota Corolla hybrid,i appreciate the japanese culture in generell.We can learn a lot of things from Japan here in west europe...
Greetings from South Germany🇯🇵🇩🇪
Off topic but as far as I know, Japanese people think Germany is their counterpart in Europe.
I truly enjoyed my 3 years working in Japan! I definitely learned a lot from living there. I would say honorable mentions could be 1) the squatting and seiza sitting positions instead of always using chairs, 2) timely regular portion controlled meals, and 3) grandparents being heavily involved in helping raise their grandchildren thus giving them a lot more purpose in life which has a strong impact on longevity. Subscribed!
5:07 just like in my hometown Dersim where we Alevites used to do it. Praying to sun at sunrise and sunset. Also put on a candle every thursday just before sunset. Nice video✌️
Gracias por tus consejos, especially matcha-drinking! La voy a tomar al diario! Un saludo de Suecia.
I love learning about your culture. I feel the old Japanese culture was very healthy. Your space is very calming. Thank you for sharing🥰
You inspired me to clean my flat 😅
I have chronic pain, and i always feel healthier and more in control when eating Asian insired foods and walking as often as possible 😊 I'm very lucky that my health and privilege allows me to make those lifestyle changes 💕
The amount of walking and the type of food I’m limited to eat while I’m here is one of the reasons why I feel so much more healthier. My feet have felt it the most. I still haven’t been brave enough to go to the onsen, although it looks fun and refreshing.
To me, cleaning demonstrates respect; not only for the item but also indirectly for the person doing the cleaning. It relates to a self-respect and developing an appreciation for the things around you. In turn it can lead to less consumerism and a wholistic approach to caring for not only oneself, but for everything around you.
I started taking baths daily and honestly I love them. They make me feel very light and relaxed, especially after being sore from previous workout.
Oh wow, thank you for this video! I love japanese culture, it's so different in comparison to other cultures. I'm from Poland, we lost the apprecieation of nature and health at some point. I would love to incorporate all of those steps into my daily life! I recently started to walk to the forest daily and it improved my mood & mobility significantly. Trees, blooming flowers & singing birds are the best medicine
I’m not Japanese but I practice almost all of these things! I love Japanese culture so much. You really do feel better when you’re healthy and happy.
Thank you. These are wise things. All of them. Grateful. ❤️
i love THIS VIDEO!! I will now make a point to be out on my little balcony at sunrise to see the tree peeking through the trees at me as it comes up. What a beautiful custom.
I'd discovered Radio Taiso during pandemic and been doing it daily for around 2 years now! Really helps when you spend long hours sitting at your desk... Thank you, Japan! 😁❤
I just loved everything on this video. Thank you for teaching us! Hi from Brazil.
Thank you!!
I gotta say those habits are different from the most popular ones in my country, however they are very close to my mindset. Thanks for sharing! :) Discovered your channel recently and I must say it's just perfect for me. All the best regards from Poland.
We in India also follow many of these habits.
Getting up early.
Doing daily exercise and Yoga.
Bathing daily...but not in a bathtub.
Cleanliness.
Climbing hills.
Eating Indian Food.
Clean what ?
Yes
Waking up in Brahmha muhurta
praying to
.Suryanamaskar
I just found this channel today and absolutely love it. Keep making more videos, please!
I really like your videos, Aki. It is as if I was walking in Japan itself. I have always appreciated Japanese culture, food, history, wabi sabi, literature, cinema and drama (Noh and Kabuki). Oh yes, I also appreciate you! どうもありがとうございます!
I'm also studying Japanese because one of my favorite Japanese writers, Shuhei Fujisawa 藤沢 周平, has only one book with his stories translated into English. His literary executors will not allow future translations, so, I learn Japanese so I can read all of his books.
Thank you for this video. I am indian but born in South Africa 🇿🇦 I was taught to pray to the sun every morning 🌄 🙏 every day. It awsome how the Asian culture connects
Don’t pray to the sun pray to god who made the Sun and made you and me
@@sadieguenther1948 I pray to God , the sun is God he made it. My family culture has been doing this for years before me and it causes no harm to others. Think before you tell a stranger how to live their lives.
Thank you for sharing your culture! It helps me a lot!
This is such a lovely lovely video thank you for taking the time and doing it.
Aki, thanks for your sharing the great culture and habit of healthy! Love it
I just started drinking Matcha. Very excited. Cannot drink coffee due to acid. Thank you! I learn and enjoy your videos very much.
Such an informative video with scientific and cultural explanations for the various practices! Thank you Samurai 😃
I am gonna try to clean more and walk, I take very hot showers in the early morning, I like green tea and I already eat alot of Japanese food. Thanks for the motivation.😃
Hello from Italy, the oldest country in the world. I agree with many points: healthy food, daily exercise, social life, the bidet, and mind of your business... Great teaching from our old italian grannies
Amazing ! It's almost what I always do taught by my grandma who lived until 96. Except nature or seaside walks, eating traditionnal french food (mainly vegetables) and drinking black tea and chicoree good for the gut too... Also cold bath too not only hot ones... Always use wiseness of old people that lived long !
As I was watching this video I remembered my experience of working as a councelor in a tourist camp for kids where we woke up early surrounded by river and mountains, breathing fresh air, exercising in the morning, serving breakfast together, doing daily territory clean up after the breakfast and going hiking. This was a truly rich life. I think daily cleanups are super healthy for the mind and space, sometimes it requires a hell lot of a discipline in the beginning, but then it becomes natural. This practice brings fulfilment = dopamine = healthy drive to start a day.
We Indians
1 . Rise early and do 12 Surya Namaskarams looking at the rising sun.
2. Bath before breakfast.
3 breakfast rice based steamed food, Dals, Curd,coconut chutney or green chutneys
4 walk 100 ft after every meal.
5 squat and exercise
6 visit hill temples
7. Eat light before going to bed
Who asked?
reply not for you
The Indian version, equally beneficial.

Bhai itna jhoot tw mat bolo
I ve been living in Japan for a while now and I always find interesting insights in your videos, even when I think I know the topics very well. I love the idea of thanking the sun, I m gonna do it with my daughter when we watch the sunset together.
In another video, you mentioned wearing kimonos on new year, and I am also planning to implement the tradition in my home :D. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much, I find your videos so - educational. I recently met a nice Japanese young woman who lives in Australia and she told me in a conversation how to make sushi. I will contact her for more recipes. All the other things I can do easily. I havent located macha tea yet. I live in the Austrian mountains in Europe. Early morning I always meditate for an hour then go for half hour walk. I think a bath would be good just after that. I work from home so it should all be easy! Keep the videos coming. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for watching!!
What a wonderful prescription for a healthy and abundant life. This RUclips is a life saver. Many sincere thanks!
I’m getting interested to live in Japan for life because of the many great habits and lifestyle of the Japanese people, thanks for sharing valuable info🙏💐💕
I loved your video. How easy and simple. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to go to gym, eat fancy, organic food, drink protein shakes, collagen and more staff. Your advice is for everyone, no matter what your finances or standard of living is. Everyone can afford it. Thanks so much. Greetings from Poland
Wonderful video, Aki. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and doing it with such a genuine spirit. ❤️
A culture that prioritizes walking/cycling over cars helps a ton, too. Daily exercise.
thank you so much for this summary. it's a fool proof advice for a healthy life.
Hi Samurai. This video has so much information. I am very eager to know the lifestyle of Japanese. I had an opportunity to work with a few Japanese and I always admired them and their culture. I am impressed by the way they give importance to every detail of their work. I liked this content and looking for more such informative videos.
In Finland we use the sauna very often if not every day. It deep-cleanses your body from toxins, just like you mention bathing. I think you have very good customs and I agree with the importance of cleanliness especially.
can you pee in finland? :pleading_face:
@@avystr7604 why not?
Thank you for sharing your wisdom on living well. I do admire the Japanese culture. Have a great month. I live in Trinidad and Tobago in the caribbean. To live well I: meditate, be in nature, drink hebal teas, eat gluton free/sugar free and dairy free, sun gaze, do what inspires me, qigong/yoga, honour my space and select my company and keep my environment clean and tidy. Thank you for asking.
That's great! I wanna go there. Thank you for sharing your healthy life! I'm curious about qigong！
@@SamuraiMatcha When you visit the caribbean, I can offer you tips if you wish. For qi gong data go to youtube 'qi gong meditation'. Have fun and a great month.
That sounds like a very unhealthy diet with half the food groups missing !
I am glad that I am Japanese but also being a New York native person to get accustomed to these habits since childhood. Drinking matcha isn't my routine or part of my ritual at all but I do however drink coffee with or without a creamer for dietary purposes. Not only that but hearing the fact of getting up early in the morning to pray towards the sun is something I learned and I wish to get into (well really "hatsumimi"). Though Japan has many social problems like you and Let's Ask Shogo say, its these positive videos that makes me wanted to say having a good pride in being Japanese and who I am personally. I wish to see more videos like this soon.
Waking up early(4.00) is the most life changing habit I've created. And that I use those early hours to exercise- walking 1-2h or at gym. It boosts up energy levels and is effecting the whole day.
I just found your channel and like it a lot- thank you❤️
When do you go to bed though?
@@fastfoxblox At 7pm-ish
I definitely think the daily washing, exercising, eating a healthy diet, and cleaning, are wonderful habits. Thank you for sharing ! 🌟✨
Hey there, I really enjoyed your video 🤗 You've inspired me to resume taking daily baths. I used to do so all the time, I find it very relaxing, but I got out of the habit for some reason. I think these are all wonderful suggestions. Thank you for sharing the wisdom and practices of your culture with us. May you also live a healthy long life 😊
Thank you so much for your Videos, especially this one. I agree with you, the japanese habits are healthy. Since I moved into another flat I miss my bath tube very very much. Some weeks ago I startet with radio calistenics and I love it. Daily cleaning ist the next routine I will start. I love japanese way of cleaning. Thank you for sharing with us your habits.
I loved this list of healthy Japanese Habits! I had the good fortune to visit Japan for three weeks in 2007. I got to stay with a family. And my favorite part was the soaking tubs. In America we can’t save our bathwater because we don’t have a separate shower to clean before using the bath. In this way we could save a lot of water. My dream is to someday have a Japanese style bathroom with the hand shower and stool to wash off and a big soaking tub where I can save the water for my husband and myself to reuse, Because we go into the tub we are already clean first. We tend to bed first thing in the morning in America. Which means that you go to bed dirty. The bath also relaxes you before bed and helps you to have a restful sleep. I would like to know more about your daily cleaning. What time do you do it? How long does it take. One thing I think is very nice about Japanese homes is that people take their shoes off. I think it keeps the house so much cleaner. But my husband does not want to take his shoes off when he comes in. He does not want to wear slippers. It’s OK I love him. It just means our floors are more dirty faster.
I would like to point out that not all American homes are built the same way, nor do the people have the same habits. I know plenty of people who have a separate tub and shower. Most of us also shower in the morning to refresh, wake up, and start our work day and bath at night to relax first and then wash before bed. I put shoe covers by the door so that people can wear them over their shoes when they come in. We only wear shoes across the hard floors and not the carpeted areas. A swiffer wet jet may help you clean your floors daily to keep it clean if he refuses to remove his shoes. I would do it at night after everyone is gone to bed. That way, you know that no more traffic is going across the floors until the next day. And then once a week actually mop the floors.
thanks for also speaking about the problems being faced in the country.
Today only I found your channel and I watched many videos. I love all of them, your style of presenting them, your humor basically everything!! I never traveled overseas but if possible I really want to visit Japan!! I like Japanese people, their cleanliness, way of living. My country India also inherit so many good things. But I really like to know more about Japan, about people, their habits, traditions, eating habits, etc etc etc Thanks for sharing really good content.
This made me notice how long it's been since I last took a bath...
I'd love to do it at least once a week as a form of self care and relaxation, but my mom expects me to be out of bathroom in like 15 mins so showering is the only option
EDIT: 24.11.2022. I'm currently taking my first bath of the year lol
And let me tell you
The moment I sat down in warm water I felt different
It was so nice
I can deff see how doing this every once in a while would make you more relaxed
(warm baths=relaxation=less stress=healthier looking skin+hair+nails=youthful look)
