What makes Japanese food and seafood such an important part of Virat Kohli's diet, and are there benefits to incorporating these into our meals?

Virat Kohli favors Japanese food like sushi rolls (vegetarian versions) for its clean, light preparation—steamed rice, fresh veggies, seaweed—aligning with his minimalist, anti-inflammatory diet that avoids heavy oils/spices. Seafood provides omega-3s for joint health and recovery, though his shift to mostly plant-based limits it; he enjoys it for high-protein, low-calorie nutrition during fitness peaks.

Benefits of Incorporation

• Omega-3s: Reduce inflammation 20-30%, aid muscle repair.

• Low GI: Sushi rice + fish stabilizes blood sugar.

• Iodine/trace minerals: Seaweed supports thyroid/metabolism.

• Portion control: Naturally balanced, satiety-promoting.

Universal Perks:

Add 2x/week: Veggie sushi rolls or salmon bowls for sustained energy and heart health.
