Of course, in Japan there are also obese people, for example, sumo wrestlers, some pensioners, citizens with certain diseases and just wanting to be full. But in general – this is a nation of slim people, not only young but also elderly, not to mention children.
If we compare the Japanese, for example, with the Americans, then we can marvel at how they differ in completeness, why there is even a suspicion that the inhabitants of the Rising Sun are simply not genetically predisposed to overweight. After all, in Japan the number of obese people does not exceed 3 percent, in the USA they are more than 30 percent, with obesity in the United States today not only senior citizens, but also young people, and even children.
Russia is not yet called, as the United States, a country of fat people, but the trend of “obesity of the nation” is still clearly visible: 2012 a year – 12 percent of obese people, 2018 – already 17 percent.
Maybe the Japanese are really not genetically predisposed to fullness? To some extent, it’s really so, but this is not the main thing. In the Land of the Rising Sun, everything is done, so that the nation is slim and healthy, including in propaganda healthy lifestyles and “live” nutrition. For this reason here even the Metabo Law program, which prescribes the maximum allowable waist for men and women depending on age. If a person has a waist more than acceptable, his urgently sent for treatment (unwilling to do this simply fined).
But the Japanese in most cases do not allow such extremes, and therefore, they use the most advanced methods of losing weight. As it turned out, this is not a diet and not tedious physical load. The most popular way to lose the “appeared tummy” (or even better – to prevent it) in Japan is considered a correction method figures by means of a roller.
Such an exercise, commensurate with a massage for weight loss, takes only five minutes a day, and to complete it, a person is required just have a bath towel from which the roller is curled (relatively tight) with a thickness of 8-12 centimeters.

After that, the Japanese sit on the floor (any hard surface), lays a roller under the lower back (just below the navel) and lays on spreading his legs and placing his hands behind his head, as shown in figure (see a little higher). So you need to lie relaxed (you can meditate, mentally read prayers, remember the most wonderful minutes of your life) 5 minutes every day.
And more, in fact, nothing is needed. They say the result noticeable after several days of applying this exercise, and if you practice it as a preventative, then never get overweight.
Some even call this method “magic” and specify that in Japan itself, it appeared not so long ago, perhaps just after the introduction of the Metabo law. How effective will it be for you, as experts emphasize, largely depends on your striving for a slim figure, as such concepts as “desire” and “firm intention” are far from identical. But try In any case, it doesn’t hurt. Try and, most importantly, try to have such an iron intention – by all means become slender (slender). The rest, as the Japanese assure, will do for you roller and your own body …
