Our goals are simple: provide exceptional food so you can make healthy lifestyle choices.
Fish is a good source of protein and doesn't have the high saturated fat that red meat products do. Your health is important to us; so rather than using farmed fish, we use only the finest wild salmon to bring you health benefits of good fats like omega-3 fatty acids that are known to affect the heart in positive ways. Rest assured of our commitment to use only responsible seafood sources so you can enjoy leaner meat that is uncompromisingly awesome.
Environmental friendly fishing practices ensure that ocean resources are harvested and consumed in a sustainable manner. To ensure the highest standards, UMI Sushi Express avoids farmed salmon associated with synthetic PCBs and other toxins. Not only is it better for you, it's also good for the environment. And when you consider the low fat content and essential nutrients of our meals, choosing UMI Sushi Express complements your lifestyle.
The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least two times a week. The AHA also suggests eating tofu and other forms of soybeans, canola, walnut and flaxseed, and their oils as part of a healthy diet.
UMI Sushi Express. Protein for people on the go.
Why do the Japanese people enjoy good health far into old age? Experts agree that their traditional diet may be a key factor. And sushi is the most famous part of that diet. Sushi is the latest trend in healthy foods for busy Americans.
Japan is presented to the American public as a nation benefitting from all the dietary paradigms deemed politically correct. Their diet is low in fat, high in carbohydrates, devoid of dairy foods and rich in soy foods, we are told, and for this reason the Japanese enjoy the longest life-span in the world, with much lower rates of heart disease, osteoporosis, breast and prostate cancer than the US.
Americans can pop into a franchised restaurant for almost every kind of cuisine, from Mexican and Italian to Chinese and, of course, American. Soon, there will be something new for their food-court trays: sushi rolls and teriyaki. Japanese-food chains are spreading to shopping malls and strip-store centers across the U.S.
There are many differences between Japanese and American diets that may explain why cancer incidence in Japan is far lower than in the United States. But one difference may be overlooked: The Japanese consume about five times the amount of cruciferous vegetables as Americans do.
