The population of Japan and Okinawa is known for the longest life expectancy, which many researchers rightly associate with the nature of nutrition existing in these territories. The Japanese diet and Okinawan diet, along with other traditional diets, are real examples of historically established sustainable patterns of healthy eating. Asian eating styles have marked differences from European eating patterns, not only in differences in food sources, but also in eating habits. The article presents the historical, climatic and cultural features of these diets; the issues of food composition, energy and nutritional value of these models of nutrition are considered in detail with an analysis of the differences existing between them; highlights the benefits of products grown mainly in Japan, which are ration-forming for the population of this country; as well as the results of scientific studies on the protective effect of the Japanese and Okinawan diets on human health and disease prevention.

Население Японии и Окинавы известно самой высокой продолжительностью жизни, что многие исследователи обоснованно связывают с существующим на данных территориях характером питания. Японская диета и питание жителей Окинавы, наряду с другими традиционными рационами, являются реальными примерами исторически сложившихся устойчивых моделей здорового питания. Азиатские стили питания имеют выраженные отличия от европейских пищевых моделей, которые касаются не только различий в пищевых источниках, но и в традиции приема пищи. В статье представлены исторические, климатические и культурные особенности данных рационов; подробно рассмотрены вопросы продуктового состава, энергетической и пищевой ценности этих моделей питания с анализом существующих между ними отличий; описаны характеристики продуктов, произрастающих преимущественно в Японии, формирующими рацион населения этой страны; а также приводятся результаты научных исследований о протективном влиянии Японской и Окинавской диет на здоровье человека и профилактику заболеваний.
