Japanese are super wired and super amazing people. They are a among those countries which have best technology in world. 


 Japan have the highest number of centarian in world and life expectancy of males and a females is above 80 years.


Japan is also popular for its food traditions .Recently I were reading about Japanese food and health. I was shocked to read about a Japanese concept that is called hara hachi bu.


This concept state that whenever you are eating food fill your stomach up to 80% .when your 80% hunger is satisfied stop eating food after that time. 

That's why this formula is also called 80% secret formula for eating.



When I were reading this concept my mind directed like speed of light toward Hadith of the other Holy Prophet ( SAWW) whose connotation is 


Divide your stomach into 3 parts ,one for food ,one for water and other should be kept empty. 


Moreover, it is also scientifically proven that it takes 20 to 30 minutes for our brain to realise that whether we have taken enough food or not.


Following this formula has many advantages such as 


  • Our stomach realse HCL to digest food .Higher the content of food higher would be HCL that would cause stomach acidity.


  • Obesity is the mother of all disease it cause bunch of problems. By following this principle you decrease the chance of getting obese.

If you are a one who is feeling difficulty in following this principle you can also use the alternative of this formula it is 5 ratio 2 or 2 ratio 5. 


It means that eat food for 5 days and do fasting for 2 days it will also help you to get benefit as you get from following 80% secret formula for eating.


We are living in a world where lifestyle diseases are prevailing and food is main cause of it .Following this formula will help you to overcome and control lifestyle diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus 

, fatty liver etc.
