The Mediterranean diet is known and appreciated even in Japan, where the traditional diet is so balanced that it generates the global record for longevity. On the topic, MeDiet Japan, an international symposium, sponsored by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan, is being held on 18 and 19.11.21.
MeDiet Japan, health on the plate
MeDiet Japan
presents itself as a ‘digital handbook’ that provides answers on the Mediterranean diet, the Japanese diet, and in general on the tricks to follow a healthy lifestyle.
The event unfolds over two days of panel discussions, video interviews and live talks where leading experts and some testimonials (Olympic medal athletes Vanessa Ferrari, Carolina Kostner and Yuki Kawauchi) pit the merits of the Mediterranean diet, attempting a comparison with the Japanese diet. There are four thematic sections:
– MeKitchen,
– MeCulture,
– MeHealth,
– MeLifestyle.
