So you probably have heard that the Japanese population is quite healthy on average and that sushi in particular is a healthy choice of cuisine.

But what makes this such a healthy food choice? For one thing, sushi meals tend to have excellent portion control. No one item is too big. Even the rice bowls tend to be moderate in size.

Another thing is that sushi often is made of high quality fish, many of which contain healthy fats. These are good for the heart and the brain too.

Finally, sushi has very intense and rich flavoring, and it has been show that people eat less when their palate is satisfied. So you might just end up feeling full on fewer calories.

So if you happen upon your favorite sushi joint (mine being the Sushi Mon Las Vegas sushi restaurant), make sure to stop in for some wonderfully delicious, healthy food.

I love to visit The Grosvenor, my somewhat local pub. In recent months, it has undergone a refurbishment which has sadly taken away some of its charm, but it is still a great place to unwind and have a drink with friends. The beer placemats promise the punter a good time, and I wouldn’t say this was far from the truth. The Grosvenor is a traditional British pub situated in the centre of town. It attracts both young and old patrons and is welcoming to all. I like the safe, cheerful atmosphere in the pub. The pub has a wide bar and service is quick and friendly. The Grosvenor also offers a food service throughout the day of burgers, chips and traditional pub foods. Having visited many other pubs, I can say that the charm of a traditional local pub holds great appeal. I have many happy memories at The Grosvenor, and also many happy blurs! The only downside is that the pub is not located particularly close to my house, so I have to get lifts or pay for a taxi service.
