E56 - What the UK could learn from Japan

In this discussion I share my my experiences and thoughts on my recent visit to Tokyo and Kyoto. Travelling through these amazing cities I was pleasantly surprised to see how healthy looking the people are. There are almost zero obesity levels within the Japanese population, of which currently sits at an exceptionally low 3.8% of the population. Compared to the UK, at 26%, which is crisis level and rising, the Japanese have something to be proud of and equally important, could share with the western world. A possible combination of cultural differences, family bonding at mealtimes, school education, national health services, self care and pride are worth considering and as such we here in the UK still have time and the resources to course correct regarding the health crisis gripping the nation.
