I read all the health articles I come across. I don't put ketchup on my French Fries. I put away my own futon. I use the escalator when the elevator is full. I stand up on the train to work. I lift pints in the pub after work. I stand up when I have a shower. I try not to eat more than two bags of chips while watching TV. I take out my own futon before bed and neatly place it on the tatami.
Light exercise, moderate drinks, non-japanese food (as far as possible)
platonic(mostly)love/friendship/relationship with women, critizing Media and counting on blessings of Mother Nature, works well for me.
1 hour on my exercise bike every day. I drink very little but that is due to my wife as she doesn't drink at all (I hate drinking by myself, so I tend not to drink when we go to a restaurant together). And we often go walking around Tokyo together to see a little more of the place.
My wife dictates my diet of organic vegetarian food, but I can sneak a steak in once a week, or a hot dog at a ball game. She makes sure I get plenty of exercise trying to keep up with her and my daughter shopping. I ride my bike daily, but have to stop every kilometer or so to show police my Nagoya bike license and registration.
Pushing my way out of the Sobu-sen train car at night.
Untangling my bike from everyone else's handlebars and side-kickstands.
Sorting the trash by category.
Power-balancing because there is nothing to hang onto in those really poorly planned trains with no metal vertical posts except for one in the middle of the aisle.
Moving furniture to find all possible Dust Bunnies that have propagated since yesterday's vacuuming.
you have it all wrong! Because yr wife doesnt drink(mine too, allergy) then you are free to consume her portion as if if you choose to, now go ahead pour yrself a drink KAMPAI!
What do you to survive in Japan if you can't eat rice, seaweed and nutto?"
Japan probably has the largest variety of food available in the world. You can eat vegetables, fruit, seafood, bread, pasta, noodles - the list is endless.
I personally stay fit and in shape through a vegetable/fruit based diet, supplemented by fish, occasional meat or chicken, almost daily natto, 2 little bottles of traditionally brewed sake daily, doing housework, going for a walk sometimes and making love twice a week -:)
It is hard to stay fit in Japan when everyone around you coughs, splutters and spits....Continuously.....
Stay away from food left out in the open and unrefrigerated for hours on end...ie: salad bars and vikings!!!...You never know how many people have touched it and coughed all over it.
Avoid meals with "Friends" who touch all the food with their chopsticks.
Wear a gas mask when you ride your bike....and everywhere else for that matter.
Stay well clear of hospitals.
DON`T share the "Ofuro" with even your closest friend.

I'd love to GW, but drinking by myself I find is rather boring ... as I'm the only person who then enjoys my jokes :(
I eat 3 medium meals a day (breakfast/lunch/dinner) until im almost full, But i dont hesitate to eat in between if im hungry. I walk or ride instead of driving. I eat alot of fish and some beef, pork, chicken etc.. i have veggies with my dinner almost always. I eat alot of nuts and fruit. I rarely watch TV or go on the computer, id rather go out to the park, beach or just go for a walk (helps that my friends are pretty much into that to). I catch a bus or train, but i walk or ride to the station/platform. I have an average body, but quite tall (183cm - 6'0). I drink on special occations but i dont go overboard. i go swimming every so often, for fun not for fitness. I also help keep the house clean! so basically.. I eat what i need i dont over indulge and i naturally exersize without having to think about it ;]

I don't drink, and I like eating (Japanese) honey and lots of fruit. My harem keep me physically in good shape, and between them and their mothers I get some really great food. I don't get fat because I live a fast life on the edge of danger at all times, and must keep my wits because I usually speed on my motorcycle. I don't go to doctors unless I need them to get something for me which I can't buy or make myself. I keep my mind sharp by not owning.watching a TV, and make a point of figuring-out the direction the world is taking so I can make plans in order to secure things for me and mine.
Hmm... I stoped eating instant food and fast food, also I am so happy of stoping smoking cigaretes and I drink beers or wine only in parties. But I really need to do some exercise, like running or swiming.
I cook my own food, avoid industrial pre-made foods (such as dumplings, frozen patties and the like), never eat out (unless there's some sort of university gathering), avoid alcohol consumption and walk as much as possible instead of taking the bus. I try to eat at the right times and sleep more than 6 hours a night. Ideally, 8 hours. I don't smoke. I take multivitamins with minerals and Calcium daily. I don't have sugar at home, except sometimes diet sugar sticks for occasional tea.
When I feel I need to burn off some stress, I workout at home; mainly 1.5 pound dumbbells.
In my case, happoshu usually suffices for the wine, one woman has been sufficing for quite a few years now, and Christmas songs are my favorite songs to sing. I sing them all year, along with some Led Zep tunes ( ya'll should hear my Robert Plant imitation ).
Also, avoid eating too many Quarter Pounders. Negi toro is a much better choice.
I like to eat healthy food, such as seaweeds and vegetables,
I like to drink wine every night,
I sometimes swim for 1000M,
I sometimes take chinese medecine which is good for women,
and everytime I feel stressed out of my surroudings, I try to talk with people not only friends,,,most of the time I can not do this because I am busy!
Do whatever I want, try not to watch boring television programs.
Nessie: I don't drink beer; I never developed a liking for it. I only drink on occasion, like parties, at the toast... or on holidays sometimes. On Christmas season I favor hot cocoa with Bailey's before calling it a night. It goes nicely with coffee, too. Or coffee with Cointreau or Amaretto... The scent of holidays and sweet relaxation right there.
I climb steps for exercise; I got into it when I lived in a high rise in a cold climate. It's something you can do anywhere regardless of weather. Also, yoga can be done anywhere and has multiple health benefits.
I also avoid munching on the goodies people bring into the office, which tend to be high-fat snack food. Though I'm not adverse to unloading such items on colleagues!
Slowly losing the battle here, but I am still alive, so some of it must be right.
My workplace forces me to think and do things that my naturally lazy brain would not allow me to do if I retired.
I use the stairs instead of the elevator 50% of the time.
Been on the banana diet for two months now, one or two bananas and some lukewarm water for breakfast. Usually holds till lunchtime and the brain functions pretty well, but it's all downhill from then on. The diet tends to be non-meat, but the wife feeds me stuff that I would avoid if I could be on my own again.
Visited a little fishing village yesterday and climbed a hill and that felt good.
My motto: "You really need to do more exercise, but don't force it."
Sex, sex and more sex.! I knew it had to be good for something! Ok its not the whole story, Wifey fights enough with me to keep me in shape, with or without the sex. Now, truth is; fight 75%+ of the the time, then sneak in a quickie.
Eat fresh healthy food, keep a pure mind and spirit is about all I can offer.
8 kilometre jog every morning at 5pm, followed by a slow warm down comprising sets of press ups, squat thrusts and stomach crunches. I take the stairs to my office on the 7th floor. Weight training four times a week, followed by a 1 kilometre swim, and lots and lots of sex.
That would be my ideal workout regime, but I'm just too fat, lazy and ugly for any of that, so I make do with hating myself and the promise of an early grave and an end to all this suffering and pain.
I take 2 spoonful of olive oil before sleep & upon woke up to keep my skin moisturised. Drink a lot of water (no can drinks at all) 3 proper meals/day (no snacking) half an hour on aerobike machine, 20 min of dumbells, 10 min stretching, 3 times a week. The rest, regular sex, lovely boyfriend, and some good friends to bitch about the J world with...lol
Full 40km run from 6am every day. Then hit the gym. Then spend about 3-4 hours meeting clients and making sure our fund is run right. A quick lunch, salad and chicken breast. Then back to the gym for weights. A few more hours of work, then ride the bicycle about 60km. And lots of sex, it's good for you! I get some from the girls at the gym, some from the girls at work and some to bring home here and there, plus the occasional client. Anyway, then it's off to the dojo to practice for the next nationals. On weekends add in shooting range.
The real challenge is not staying fit, but rather doing so without becoming completely self-absorbed.
I quit going to one gym where they installed mirrors, at member request, so you could look at your butt. A friend then had a set installed at her home, claiming she needed to so do for attire purposes. I'd much rather look at other people than admire my own reflection in the mirror.

Who said I was fit? The question should be, What do you to survive in Japan if you can't eat rice, seaweed and nutto?"
