<\/a><\/figure>\nThis article explains the key points of eating vegetables first and how to put it into practice effectively. We hope it offers tips for building healthy eating habits that even busy people can keep up without strain.<\/p>\n
Key points of eating vegetables first<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe daily vegetable intake recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is 350 g, but the Japanese average intake stands at only about 280 g. Against a backdrop where many people can't get the vegetables they need, eating vegetables first is also drawing attention as an efficient way to get vegetables.<\/p>\n
1. Easier to feel satisfied after meals<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen you eat vegetables first, dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, moves slowly through the digestive tract.<\/p>\n
Starting a meal with vegetables also makes it easier to feel satisfied after eating.<\/p>\n
Paying attention to eating order is gaining attention as a way to improve eating habits.<\/p>\n
Blood sugar rises when you eat, but if that rise is sharp or blood sugar stays high for a long time, the inner walls of blood vessels are more easily damaged, raising the future risk of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes.<\/strong><\/h3>\nResearch at Osaka Prefecture University<\/p>\n![\"\u91ce\u83dc\u3092\u3088\u304f\u565b\u3093\u3067\u98df\u3079\u308b\u69d8\u5b50\"](\"https:\/\/assets.st-note.com\/img\/1758899203-Rt7xwnPFMmUrzHT93idOAByJ.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\nfound that with the same meal, eating vegetables first made the post-meal blood-sugar rise 100\u2013150 mg\/dL lower. This is a highly important effect in preventing and managing diabetes.<\/p>\n
2. Easier to feel full<\/strong><\/h3>\nVegetables are rich in dietary fiber and can't be swallowed without chewing well. As your number of chews naturally increases, the brain's satiety center is stimulated and appetite is curbed. Since you feel satisfied even with a smaller amount of staple food, cutting back on rice for health or beauty feels less painful.<\/p>\n
This isn't just a one-meal effect. Over the long term, it leads to reduced total calorie intake and helps with weight management too.<\/p>\n
4. Getting plenty of dietary fiber<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe dietary fiber in vegetables also contributes to a sense of satisfaction after meals. Eating fiber-rich vegetables first is a well-known approach.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, since about 70% of the body's immune cells are in the gut, regulating the gut environment can be expected to support overall physical condition too. Building the habit of eating vegetables first at every meal naturally increases your daily dietary-fiber intake.<\/strong><\/h3>\n4. Curbs fat absorption<\/p>\n
The dietary fiber in vegetables also works to slow fat absorption. For younger people in particular, eating fiber-rich vegetables first slows the absorption of fat along with carbohydrates. This curbs the sharp post-meal rise in triglycerides and supports building a body less prone to putting on fat.<\/p>\n![\"\u30aa\u30d5\u30a3\u30b9\u5411\u3051\u306e\u4e7e\u71e5\u91ce\u83dc\"](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/studio-cms-assets\/projects\/9YWyw1reqM\/s-1280x720_e05529e7-dc2d-4a60-b89c-e66e25e1397e.webp\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n5. A natural increase in vegetable intake<\/strong><\/h2>\nSimple as it is, building the habit of eating vegetables first naturally increases your vegetable intake. For people who don't usually eat many vegetables, it becomes a sure way to increase vegetable intake.<\/p>\n
You can also expect an effect of preventing overeating of staple foods. Research too found that the group practicing veggie-first eating increased their vegetable intake and decreased their intake of rice and fruit compared with the group that didn't.<\/strong><\/h3>\nHow to practice eating vegetables first effectively<\/p>\n
Eating vegetables first is easy to start \u2014 just change the order in which you eat. But there are a few points for heightening the effect.<\/strong> The correct eating order<\/p>\nThe most effective eating order is as follows.<\/strong> Vegetables first<\/p>\n: Eat fiber-rich vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweed<\/strong> Protein next<\/p>\n: Take in protein such as meat, fish, and soy products<\/p>\n![\"\u91ce\u83dc\u306e\u5148\u98df\u3044\u306e\u6b63\u3057\u3044\u9806\u756a\u30a4\u30e9\u30b9\u30c8\"](\"https:\/\/assets.st-note.com\/img\/1758899208-nqyHjdfkUFcEzvOa87XYhJ6e.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\nCarbohydrates last<\/p>\n
: Eat carbohydrates like rice, bread, and noodles<\/strong><\/h3>\nVegetables can be not only raw but also boiled or steamed, or heated by simmering or stir-frying. Eat seaweed and mushrooms first too, just like vegetables, chewing slowly and well.<\/p>\n
However, not all vegetables are the same. Take care with vegetables relatively high in carbohydrates, such as potatoes, kabocha squash, and corn \u2014 even eaten first, they don't deliver as much effect as you'd expect.<\/p>\n
Vegetables high in dietary fiber, such as broccoli, burdock, spinach and okra, are recommended.<\/p>\n
Burdock (about 5.7 g of dietary fiber per 100 g) Spinach (about 2.8 g of dietary fiber per 100 g)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\nOkra (about 5.0 g of dietary fiber per 100 g)<\/strong><\/h3>\nSoluble fiber is also said to be highly effective at curbing blood-sugar rises. Actively working in seaweed (kombu, wakame) and mushrooms is a good idea too.<\/p>\n
If you can't eat all this at once, working in dried vegetables is recommended too!<\/p>\n
Cautions when practicing it<\/p>\n
There are a few cautions when practicing eating vegetables first.<\/p>\n![\"\u30d0\u30e9\u30f3\u30b9\u306e\u826f\u3044\u548c\u98df\u306e\u98df\u4e8b\"](\"https:\/\/assets.st-note.com\/img\/1758899216-rF8qW5NCTim2U9KphbaYgQOd.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\nFirst, vegetable juice contains almost no dietary fiber, so the veggie-first effect can't be expected. Also, store-bought vegetable juice sometimes has added fructose or oligosaccharides.<\/strong><\/h2>\nPotato salad, kabocha salad, corn salad, and the like are also high in carbohydrates, so the effect is limited even eaten first.<\/p>\n
Also, beyond being mindful of the eating order, eating slowly and chewing well is essential. There's research showing that eating fast makes you more prone to gaining weight. Aim for 30 chews per mouthful and chew thoroughly.<\/strong><\/h3>\nTips for working eating vegetables first into daily life<\/p>\n
Eating vegetables first is simple in theory, but keeping it up long-term takes a few tweaks. Here we introduce tips for working it into daily life without strain. There will be times when the ideal way of eating is hard, such as eating out or busy mornings. In those cases, the trick to lasting is not aiming for perfection but practicing it to the extent you can.<\/p>\n
How to practice it at home<\/strong><\/h3>\nAt home, be mindful of serving a vegetable side dish or salad first at meals. For Japanese meals, putting ohitashi, sunomono, or salad on the table first is recommended.<\/p>\n
Also, packing miso soup with plenty of vegetables and eating just the ingredients first is effective. For simmered and stir-fried dishes too, be mindful of eating the vegetables first. On busy mornings, prepping \u2014 like cutting vegetables the day before \u2014 is handy. Using pre-cut vegetables is another option.<\/p>\n
How to practice it when eating out or at the office<\/p>\n
When eating out, be mindful of ordering a salad first, or eating the vegetables first once the main dish arrives.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\nThe same goes for lunchtime at the office. If you bring a bento, packing the vegetable dishes on top and other order-conscious tweaks are a good idea.<\/strong><\/h2>\nEating vegetables first is an easy method that only requires changing the order you eat.
