Be aware of nutritional balance

The basis of a diet is to eat evenly the five major nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals).

 

especially

(1) Meat, fish, soybeans, etc.: Proteins that form the basis of muscle

② Vegetables: Dietary fiber and vitamins to prevent lifestyle sticks

③Dairy products, seaweeds and mushrooms: Calcium and vitamin D for bone health

Let's be conscious and incorporate it!

Make sure to consume good quality oils.

 In order to prevent lifestyle-related diseases, it is also important to keep the health of blood vessels in mind. Let's incorporate good quality oil as one of them.

 High-quality oils: EPA/DHA from blue-backed fish, linseed oil, perilla oil, olive oil, etc.

 

★Introduce how to use! !

・Increase the number of appearances of mackerel at meals!

⇒ Mackerel, which is rich in EPA and DHA, is recommended among blue-backed fish.

Many of them are processed and sold without bones, which is convenient for grilled fish, and there are also many canned fish on sale.

 

・Handmade dressing for salad!

⇒ Pure virgin oil, linseed oil, perilla oil, etc.

Olive oil contains a large amount of oleic acid, which helps lower bad cholesterol levels. Flaxseed oil and perilla oil contain "α-linolenic acid" that works to reduce neutral fat.

α-Linolenic acid is converted into EPA and DHA in the body. It 's hard to eat fish every day, so it's good as a substitute .

 

・Let's mix linseed oil into rice balls!

⇒If you mix linseed oil into rice and make it into a rice ball, the flavor will improve and it won't get hard even when it cools down! Recommended for rice balls for lunch .

It will make you feel full, so if you make rice balls with mixed rice with various ingredients, it will be satisfying to eat!

 

・Use rice oil when frying!

⇒ Rice oil contains “γ oryzanol” that helps lower blood lipids.

It has no peculiarity, and the oil drains well, making it crispy. The fried food is refreshing and doesn't make your stomach feel heavy (laughs).

 

*Caution* No matter how good it is for the body, it is still oil. Be careful not to overdose.

 

 

Incorporate soybean foods into consideration

It contains soy isoflavones that act like female hormones, so include soy products in your daily diet.

Soybeans contain a lot of dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, and they help regulate the intestinal environment, which tends to become disturbed with age, and are also rich in calcium, which strengthens bones.

It is also important to keep yourself fit through your daily diet. Let's devise a meal so that you can take care of yourself according to your constitution and condition at that time!

In the world of Kampo medicine, “Kidney” is related to aging.

"Liver" is said to control the autonomic nervous system. A very important thing is called a "key point".

Originally, it was expressed as "Kanren essential" and was used as an important thing for health.

When the "kidneys" fail...

Ex.) Feeling hot, feeling cold, getting tired easily When the "liver" loses control...

In particular, it is important to take care of the kidneys, which tend to decline with age, on a daily basis!

Take the "kidney" color : Black is said to belong to the "kidney" color. It is said that black food can care for the kidneys.
