Health benefits of eating sushi

Here are some awesome health benefits of eating sushi

Eating sushi, and not just the California Roll, which consists of cream cheese, avocado and cucumbers, is really good for you, especially if it contains fish. Fresh fish such as salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel and cod, whether cooked or raw, contain omega-3 fatty acid, which are good for the cardiovascular and neurological systems. Omega-3s have been proven to lower cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Some articles suggest that some other health benefits of eating sushi with fish is that it may ward off lung cancer. Perhaps eating sushi is the reason that the rate of lung cancer in Japan is only two-thirds as high as in Britain. Both groups of people have a high rate of smokers in their countries.

Are there other health benefits of eating sushi?

Contrary to popular notions, sushi does not stand for raw fish. “Sushi” refers to the rice/vinegar wrap around the contents of a sushi roll. This rice/vinegar sticky mixture alone is beneficial to a person’s health as the rice often used in sushi is rich in protein and many believe it lowers blood pressure. This may account for the low rate of heart disease among the Japanese. The rice also helps in relieving diarrhea, while the vinegar can work as a diuretic or cleanser to rid the body of toxins. If the sushi isn’t wrapped in a rice/vinegar mixture, it may be held together with sheets of dried seaweed. These dark green sheets wrapped around vegetables and fish are a rich source of iodine, copper, calcium, iron and magnesium. Iodine in food is hard to come by. It is commonly found in salt, but people who have a salt restricted diet can become deficient in iodine, which is used in the thyroid for balanced hormone function and metabolism. Another health benefit of eating sushi wrapped in dried seaweed is that it provides phytonutrients and folic acid, both great antioxidants.

In addition to the health benefits of eating sushi, look at what you are eating with your sushi

What is sushi without wasabi? This hot, green paste that can clear out your sinus passages and bring tears to your eyes, is rich in Vitamin C and the isothiocyanates in wasabi might help prevent tooth decay. But a more important factor is that wasabi, if consumed regularly, has been proven to prevent blood clots from forming and stimulates the body to fight off cancers. Another accompaniment to eating sushi is pickled ginger. Long known for soothing digestive problems, ginger also relieves flatulence. Traditionally, sushi is dipped in soy sauce. Although soy sauce has a high salt content, it also has a high iron content and is a good antibacterial for the colon. With so many health benefits of eating sushi, one would wonder why it isn’t eaten all the time and in great quantities. However, even though each roll is small in size, the caloric count can be as high as 200 calories per roll, which means a boat of six rolls, no matter how healthy can mean consuming 1200 calories. For this reason it is good to compliment a sushi meal with green tea. The tannins in the tea aid the digestive tract and the catechin antioxidants can fight off bacteria vibrio, a cause of food poisoning. Plus green tea helps in weight loss. So, enjoy the sushi!

Pairing Your Sake With Your Sushi

When it comes to sushi there are a lot of different things that you should know when going out and pairing these things in your eating...I know that for me this was a really big one and was something that completely changed the way that I ate sushi from there on out.

I think that if you've got any amount of time or energy on your hands and you plan on going out and spending some time at a sushi bar these are going to be really important things to take into account...

...In today's article I'm going to be diving down and going into some of the different sake pairings and will talk about how they are really important to getting the most out of your sushi experience. I know that once I sat down and was really able to get a look at some of the different sake options and how they paired with other sushi rolls this was something that really changed the way that I ate my sushi.

I think that this is something that more people need to know about because there are really a lot of different sushi options out there so in today's article I'll be breaking down some of the different sake options that are GREAT for going out with sushi so let's go ahead and dive right in.

Pairing Your Sake With Your Sushi

Sake and sushi are two great things to put together. I think that in this day and age it's super important to make sure that you're pairing your sushi and sake together as I think this is really going to be the best way to go about doing it.

If you're not going through and getting something like this done then you're just not going to get the type of meal that you want with your sushi and I think this is something that you'll want to really pay attention to.

The thing about sake is that this is something that is an age old tradition. This is something that has been around for awhile and is something that is going to really go good with your meals and hopefully make your night.

I think that as long as you're going through and really asking your servers what the different menu items are and what some of the different sushi pairings are you're going to have a great idea of what the different sushi options are and you'll also be able to really get the best bang for your buck when it comes to your wallet and your stomach.

I think that if you've ever gone through and done this you know that there are a ton of different options out there and really something that you'll want to ask around for and is really something that is going to benefit you a lot.

I've been around sushi for awhile and this is something that I'll always love. I think that if you're a fan of sushi and you like going out and eating some of these different menu items then this is something that you'll really enjoy and will give you a ton of different options when it comes to these things.

What NOT To Do

There are a lot of different things to keep in mind when it comes to this and I think that if you've got this on your agenda and plan on going out and spending time or money out at the different restaurants then I really think you'll want to make sure you're paying attention to this.

The thing about sushi is that you really need to have at least SOME experience before going out and doing something like this because there are just so many different flavors out there if you don't know what you're doing you're just not going to be getting the types of results that you wish from your dealings.

Another thing that I really think you should be doing is going out and really testing out the market. This is a great idea for a lot of reasons and is something that I really think will help you out a lot. If you've got any time on your hands and you're looking to spending some time outdoors then I really think this is something that you'll want to do.

Putting It All Together

I think that at the end of the day this is something that is really important to know. If you're not going out and doing this then you're not going to be getting the most out of your sushi and really won't be getting the types of flavors that you're looking for in your meals.

Going out and getting sushi is really a great idea for a lot of reasons and is something that I really think will help you out a lot.

DIY Sushi Rolls

When it comes to sushi there are a lot of different ways to go about making this stuff... 

...I think that this is a lost art for a lot of reasons but in today's article I'm going to be going into some different things that you can do to really get the most out of your sushi experience and will also go into a few different reasons this is really a simple dish to make as well.

In this day and age it's all about going organic so make sure that your ingredients are fresh otherwise as time continues you're going to have some sushi rolls that just aren't "up to par". In this day and age it's all about going out and getting things FRESH. If it's fresh then you're not going to be getting nearly the amount of quality that you could be getting otherwise.

I think this is something that a lot of people would take heart and find joy in but this is something that is a little difficult from what I hear. I think that if you're going through and doing something like this then you're really going to want to make sure that you're doing it by the book so in today's article I'll be going through some different steps to take.

Once again I've always been a huge fan of sushi and after I learned this recipe I was delighted to see just how easy this stuff was to make. In today's article I'll be getting into some different reasons this is easily one of the simplest dishes you could make and I'll also go into some cool and tasty ingredients that you can add to this as well.

DIY Sushi Rolls

Step 1.  Steam the Rice
The first thing that you're going to want to do is go out and steam your rice. This is going to be the first place to start when it comes to these things and is really not that hard to do. I think that if you're going out and making your own sushi then this is going to be the first place to start and is going to really offer you some great options for making something that is to DIE for in your home.

Step 2. Prepare the Fillings
The next thing that you're going to want to do is go out and prepare your fillings. Your fillings are going to be the next place to start and are going to make up the "bulk" of your sushi roll. This is what's going to flavor your roll and is going to give you some great options for flavors and ingredients if you're so inclined.
Some great options that you can include in this are salmon, cucumbers, beef, poultry, and all other sorts of ingredients. This is once again going to be up to you but there's really no limit to the length of things that you can do.

Step 3. Form the Maki
Now that you've gone out and made your fillings you're going to want to move on to form the maki. This is where everything start's coming together and is where you actually start seeing your sushi rolls come together. I think that this is easily the most fun step out of all of them and is really not that hard to do once you've got everything prepared...

Step 4. Add the Wasabi and Filling
The next thing that you're going to want to do is add your wasabi and then your filling. This is going to fill out your sushi and is going to give your roll it's spice. This is just one more step in the overall sushi process and is something that I really think you'll enjoy doing.

Step 5. Roll the Maki
The last step involved is to roll the maki...This is where you go through and really put everything together. I think that over time this is one of the more important things that you could do with your time so it's really important to make sure that you nail this part. If you've got anything that you're not fully understanding then please feel free to leave anything below and I'd be more than happy to take a look.

Tasting and Testing Your Sushi

When it comes to sushi and pairing things together there are a lot of different things that could go together. I think that for me this was a big one because I knew about all the different flavors and seafood combinations but didn't know how they went together or what went good with them so in today's article i'm going to be breaking down some of the different sushi ingredients and will also be going into some different reasons this is something that you should definitely be paying attention to.

I think this is something that I get from a lot of people and usually the best answer to things like this is to just go out there and try it for yourself. I know that for me this was a big one and after I went out there and actually started tasting some of the different flavors and ingredients I was pleasantly surprised at just how incredible these things were.

In today's article I'm going to be going over some different reasons this is easily one of the most interesting things you could be doing with your time and of course if you've got any additional questions about anything then please feel free to include them below and I'd be more than happy to help you out with whatever it is you're having trouble with.

Things That Go Good Together

There are a lot of things that go good together when it comes to pairing sushi but I think that this is going to be something that you have to go out there and try for yourself. In this day and age it's so vital to go out there and really make sure that you're tasting and testing all the different flavors out there and of course if there's anything that you're not sure about just ask!

I think this is the best way to go about doing this and of course if there's something more specific that you have questions about then please feel free to ask or you could even go out and ask around for some advice on what you think you should get...

Here's what Listverse; has to say about some of the different sushi toppings out there:

Eel

We’ll start with an easy one in eel. Unagi (the freshwater variety of eel, as opposed to its marine brother Anago) has long been a mainstay in Japan, and has recently surged in popularity in the United States too. It is described as rubbery but not chewy, earthy and mushroomy, if that makes sense. Probably the most chicken-like sushi meat, it isn’t too big of a leap for first-timers once they get over the fact that it’s an eel.

Octopus

Also rubbery, the meat cut from an Octopus tentacle can be quite dense and chewy. It has a subtle, cleanly delicious taste that gives it a particular, yet loyal, fan base.

Horse

Attitudes towards the human consumption of horse meat depend on the region. It is vastly most popular in East Asian countries, Japan, China and Korea, where it is a frequent delicacy. Elsewhere in the world it is less common, but present; places like South America, the Middle East and Continental Europe. It is far more scarcely available in the UK, Australia and Canada, and least of all in the United States, where it strongly opposed and viewed by many as taboo.

Tobiko

Tobiko is the roe (ovaries) harvested from flying fish. It is used as a component in many Japanese dishes, and in the US it is most commonly seen on the outside of California Roll or “Golden” California Rolls. However, it earns a spot on our list for when it is served as the primary ingredient, in a style known as Gunkan-maki or “Battleship Style.”

Toro

Perhaps the single most extensively used wild-caught fish in sushi, on a global scale, is the Bluefin Tuna. It is so overfished, in fact, that it is very threatened as a species, which in turn is considered a major sustainability risk to the world oceans as a system. A Greenpeace activist once told me that there are more frozen Bluefin tunas than live ones. For this reason, a lot of people, including myself, have started to avoid Bluefin more and more. Now having said that, as long as you’re not eating it everyday, I would be the last person to cast aspersions.

Shime Saba

Shime Saba is the sushi name for a Mackerel (Saba) that has been pickled. It is very potently flavored, too intensely for some, very vinegary and salty (naturally, from the curing process), very fishy (in a good way), and very, very oily. Eating more than one piece at a sitting would definitely be over-doing it. Unless you just really love it, I suppose.

Fugu Sashi

Fugu (pufferfish, or blowfish) must surely be one of the most, if not the most, dangerous glamour food that exists, and the most glamorous danger food that exists. Prepared sashimi-style, it is called Fugu Sashi. It is notorious because of the lethal poison contained in the fish’s liver, intestines and skin. When contaminated by the poison, which can be as much 140,000 times as powerful as cocaine, humans will gradually become fully paralyzed until they die from asphyxiation from not being able to breath. This is all while they remain completely conscious. There is no known antidote.

Putting It All Together

At the end of the day this is something that I really think you'll want to pay attention to. I know that for me this was something that was really big for me and was really something that paid off big in the long run.

If you've been curious about going out and trying some of the different sushi options out there then I really think this is going to be a great way for you to go out there and really sample some of the different selections out there and really get a feel for some of the different options as well.

There's a lot out there and it's really important to make sure that you're going out and testing this out as I really think this is going to be the best way to go out there and sample some of the different flavors as well as really get a feel for the different ingredients out there as well.

Tasting and Testing Your Sushi

When it comes to sushi there are a lot of flavors out there. I know that for me this was a big one and I've always been a fan but for whatever reason I've just not been able to get out there and really spend the amount of time on this as I'd like and doing this really opened my eyes to all the different things that were available out there.

At the end of the day this is really something that I think you're going to benefit from but is once again going to take a little testing on your part so make sure you go out there and really test out some of the different ingredients and get back to me on your thoughts as well!

A Beginner's Guide to Eating Sushi

Sushi is an age old tradition that has been around for thousands of years. This is something that people have come to know and revere in countries across the world but is something that not everyone knows how to properly eat.

I think the reasons for this are many but at the end of the day this is really something that you should know how to do as this is really going to impact the way that you interact with and behave in situations like this.

Follow along and in today's article I'll be getting into some different things that you can do to ensure that you're really getting the most out of your dining experience and as always if there's anything that you're not understanding feel free to leave anything below and I'd be more than happy to take a look at whatever it is you're having trouble with...

A Beginner's Guide to Eating Sushi

Here's what Huffington Post has to say about the ins and outs of eating sushi:

Sushi is so popular in the United States, it's almost hard to believe that it wasn't always a part of American culture. But thanks to sushi's introduction in the 1950s, we now enjoy sushi whenever we want -- on an evening out with friends or even for a quick work lunch from the corner deli. But even with sushi's wide availability, many people are confounded by it. It's easy to feel lost in a sushi restaurant, not knowing what all the different types are -- whether it has raw fish or not, and how to even begin to eat it. For the beginner sushi eater, we've put together a glossary of all the popular pieces of sushi, how they're made and what ingredients they usually contain.

Sushi For The First-Timer

If it's your first time eating sushi, go with a friends who understand it better than you, or sit at the bar and get recommendations from the sushi chef. They're always willing to help you understand the territory.

Once you've gotten adventurous you can ask for omakase, which means "to trust the chef" and gives the chef carte blanche to make you anything he likes -- but be sure you're ready to try anything and pay for just about anything. And with regards to fugu(the blowfish that's poisonous if it's cut the wrong way), check to see if the sushi chef is licensed to serve it.

As you can see this is really something that has had a big impact on American cuisine and lifestyle so I really think that if you plan on making this a part of your life or even if you're trying to just go out and try this once then you're really going to want to make sure you're taking these things into account.

Conclusion

In conclusion I'd like to state that this is something that everyone should know. I really think that if you're looking for some information on sushi or how it relates to you then this is going to be a great exercise and will also really help you get a better idea about how it all works.

If you've got any additional questions please feel free to ask and of course be sure to check back next week for our ongoing Fuji Sushi series...until next time!

Benefits of Eating Sushi

When it comes to sushi there are actually a lot more benefits to this food than you might realize...This is a food that has been around for thousands of years and is still around today so clearly something was good about it. This is something that I've been wanting to share for awhile so in today's article I'm going to be going over some of the different benefits of eating sushi and will also dive into why it just might be the next food that you should start eating...

...there are a lot of benefits to eating this type of food but there are also a few risks that you run eating this stuff as well so I'll address that as well - so let's go ahead and dive right in then shall we?

Benefits of Eating Sushi

I think the first thing you'll want to realize is that sushi is largely made up of rice,seaweed, and fish and although these are foods that you're probably not use to eating by themselves this is something that when put together is a delectable little treat. As I'm sure you know there are many tight regulations on becoming a sushi chef in fact many chefs are forced to undergoe extensive training (sometimes as much as TEN YEARS) before even being able to present a sushi roll to the public.

As you can see this is something that is really taken seriously over in Japan and even throughout the world and because of his I wanted to dedicate today's post on the composition and health content of these things. I think my favorite part about going out for sushi is just the atmosphere of it all and being a huge sushi fan myself I'm always finding excuses to get out and have a good time with my friends at places like this...

This is something that I really think is going to be an enjoyable activity for you if you make it a habit so make sure that you at least go out and check out a few different sushi restaurants because going out to places like this is a ton of fun and is something that everyone should be try at least once. I know that sushi is a little different than what most people are use to but if you're interested in trying out something new and exciting then I really think you'll want to try out some of our rolls. We've got some amazing drink specials too so even if you're not that hungry you can still go out and have a few drinks with your family and have a good time.

Below is a list of some of the benefits of eating sushi and I really think this is going to be important for you to understand for a bunch of reasons. Most of the ones that you're not familiar with are actually because you're not completely familiar with sushi and how it's made, hopefully this will help clear a few things up for you and also educate you on the immense value of sushi.

As people try to eat more nutritiously and add fish rich in omega-3 to their diets, sushi continues to grow in popularity. The compact little rolls certainly look nutritious - rice, fish, veggies - but how healthy is it to eat sushi?
Sushi for beginners

The Japanese have eaten sushi for centuries, but the sushi we know today originated as a fast-food option in Edo, Japan, in the mid-19th century. People could eat it with their hands or carry it with them as they went to the theatre. Visit a sushi cart or restaurant today, and you'll see two main kinds of rolls - nigiri and maki.

Nigiri consists of a mound of vinegared rice topped with a dab of hot horseradish wasabi and a slab of fish, crab, egg, or other topping. A small, thin bamboo mat is used to roll maki, a cylinder of rice wrapped in nori seaweed with a morsel of fish or other filling in the middle.
The health benefits of sushi

Sushi comes in such a staggering variety that many menus offer a pictorial glossary to help you order. Because of this diversity, the nutritional value of one roll to the next can vary. In general, fish provides a lean source of low-calorie, high quality protein. It's also low in saturated fats and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy food choice. Salmon is especially high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to improved cholesterol levels, lowered blood pressure, and decreased risk of abnormal heart rhythms.

Mackerel, lake trout, herring, and tuna also have omega oomph.

The thin sheets of seaweed, or nori, which are flattened, cut, and wrapped around maki and hand rolls, contain mighty minerals. Iodine, essential for proper hormone function, is abundant in this dried sea vegetable. You'll also get the benefit of magnesium, calcium, iron, and antioxidant phytonutrients and folic acid from eating rolls wrapped in nori.

What To Watch Out For

Now as you know there are probably a lot of different things that go into sushi that can be less than savory if you're not careful. Now I know that for me personally this is something that I always watch out for but this is really nothing that you probably don't already know about.

The first thing that you'll want to watch out for is foodbourne illnesses, these are important to watch out for for a number of reasons but as long as you're eating food that's being prepared right and isn't being mishandled then you're really going to have nothing to worry about.

This is really going to depend on where you're eating at and what type of sushi restaurant you've got to deal with but either way this is something that is definitely important to keep your eye on so make sure that you're really paying attention to your food and asking your servers their policy on these types of things.

The next thing that you'll want to be careful of is mercury. Mercury is a metal that's present in a lot of fish around the planet and is something that you'll really want to watch out for over time. Mercury is usually fine in small dosages but is something that you'll really need to be careful of if you're not paying attention to the types of fish you're putting in your body. For instance tuna and swordfish are really high in mercury and if you're going out every Monday, Wednesday, Friday for swordfish sushi then you might want to consider checking up with a doctor on your mercury levels. This is important for a number of reasons but mercury toxicity can actually lead to a number of problems and is definitely something that you'll have to be careful of later down the line.

Putting It All Together

At the end of the day sushi is great for a number of reasons. There's a huge diversity of different flavorings and toppings you can get and overall this is a food that is actually surprisingly good for you. If you can stick to this type of diet and regularly incoporate sushi into your life then I really think you're going to have a great life ahead of you with plenty of memorable experiences.

Of course make sure that you're not consuming too much of this stuff as it's really easy to run into problems like mercury toxicity so be sure to check up with your doctor regularly if this is something that you think you might have to deal with.

Staying Safe While Eating Sushi

Make Sure You Stay Safe When Eating Sushi, Read This!

When it comes to eating sushi there's a lot of different ways you're going to have to be sure you're ok...

...This is really something that I think that you're going to enjoy reading and this is also really important for you to know because there are actually a lot of hidden dangers out there when it comes to these kinds of things and you're really going to want to make sure that you're paying attention to these.

In today's article I'm going to be going through some different things that you're going to have to watch out for when eating sushi. This is pretty common when it comes to the whole sushi thing and is something that I really think you're going to want to know about. The dangerous thing about all these problems is that oftentimes people have absolutely no idea and are caught unaware when they end up sick a few days later...

Follow along and I'll be going into some different reasons that this is really one of the most important things you could be doing when it comes to dining out and eating sushi...let's go ahead and get started shall we?

Staying Safe While Eating Sushi

When it comes to sushi there's a number of things that you're going to want to make sure you're taking into account. There are a number of reasons for this but really I think that regardless of what you're doing you're going to want to make sure you're really paying attention to this as this is going to be vital to making sure you're eating your sushi the right way!

There are a number of ways that you're going to be able to do this but the first thing is just making sure that you're going to a place that has a good reputation. This is going to be critical for a number of reasons and is really something that I think you're going to want to take into account.

Here's what Mercola has to say about some of the things you should be watching out for when it comes to sushi:

Most major waterways in the world are contaminated with mercury, heavy metals, and chemicals like dioxins, PCBs, and other agricultural chemicals that wind up in the environment. Fish has always been the best source for the animal-based omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, but as levels of pollution have increased, this health treasure of a food has become less and less viable as a primary source of beneficial fats.This is particularly true for tuna, which tends to be a higher mercury fish. One study from the U.S. Geological Survey found that ALL tuna tested contained fair high amounts of mercury.

The contamination may be even worse in restaurants, againconfirming that eating restaurant tuna is a risky proposition.Further, according to a separate study, toxicological testing revealed that tuna sold in restaurants actually contained higheramounts of mercury than the store-bought variety. The reason is that restaurants tend to favor certain species of tuna, such as bluefin akami and bigeye tuna, which had significantly higher levels of mercury than bluefin toro and yellowfin tuna. Unfortunately, mercury tends to accumulate to a greater degree in muscle than in fat, rendering these highly prized, leaner species of tuna more susceptible to high contamination.

As you can see this is definitely something that you're going to want to watch out for. Mercury is really a dangerous chemical and if you're not careful you're really going to have some trouble on your hands. I think this is usually something that isn't a problem with most people but after eating sushi regularly for awhile this is something that can really continue to hurt you...

...I think this is something that you don't really have to worry about that much but at the same time if you are regularly going out and eating sushi then this is something that you're going to want to take into account.

What To Do About It

There are a number of things you can do about this but the first one would be to make sure you're getting theright type of sushi. This is really important for a number of reasons but just going to a trusted sushi preparer and ensuring that the business you're working with is kosher is going to eliminate a lot of these problems. This is simple enough but this is why Fuji Sushi always has strict guidelines and quality control criteria that must be met with every single roll of sushi we put out in the diner.

This has made a huge difference in the way our guest and customers interact with our restaurant and we think this is something that separates us from the call of duty and really stands us apart from our crowd.

Conclusion

In conclusion I'd like to state that this is something that I really think you're going to want to pay attention to as this is critical for your health and for your safety. Eating sushi really isn't that dangerous but is something that you'll definitely want to make sure you're taking into account before going out and eating a bunch of this stuff.

How to Eat Sushi the Proper Way

You've been doing it wrong!

When it comes to sushi there are several things that you need to know about eating it. A lot of people think that they are eating their sushi in the right way when in reality they are eating this stuff without the foggiest idea of how it should actually be done.
