Macrobiotics are OK as long as they meet the Denciette requirements

―I hear that you conducted research using Japanese food, which is easily accepted by many people, as a model. How about applying it to macrobiotics?

 If it contains the composition (meeting the values ​​of energy, rice, side dishes, etc. specified by Denciette), I think there is no problem with macrobiotics.
 However, only white rice was tested for cooked rice.When it comes to brown rice or barley rice, it may be difficult to raise blood sugar levels, so you may feel less satisfied.I don't know if it's good or bad because I haven't tested it.

Carbohydrate restriction puts a burden on kidneys and angiologists Long-term efforts are doubtful

- One of the recent trends in eating habits is that carbohydrate-restricted diets have become a big boom.How are you perceived as a professional?

 It's a question I get asked a lot, but I personally wouldn't recommend it.
 Japanese people have the longest life expectancy in the world, so when I think about how I have been eating, I think that it is good to have a diet that has a staple food, side dishes, and less fat. increase.
 Western meals are mainly meat and fish, and rice and bread are accompaniments.So, about 40% carbohydrates, it's already a relatively low-sugar diet.On the other hand, in developing countries, 70-80% is carbohydrates.
 Japan is somewhere in the middle, and I think that's probably the best balance.
 When it is necessary to lose weight in a short period of time, a diet that temporarily limits carbohydrates and increases protein is performed for those who are judged to be necessary as dietary therapy, and there is no problem. think.However, in the long term, there is concern that a diet high in protein will put a strain on the kidneys, and a diet high in fat will put a strain on the blood vessels.
 Certainly, if you don't eat carbs at all, your blood sugar level won't go up, and it's a quick way to lose weight.
 Even if you take in the same amount of energy, there is a lot of protein loss.This is called a specific dynamic effect that makes the body warm after eating, and it is known that the protein source has a large amount of heat, and that much is easily lost to heat.

Possibility of improving nutrition with high density for elderly people who are fussy about food

―Lastly, please tell us about your future aspirations.

 We plan to partner with several companies to sell Denciette lunch boxes, and we would like to continue such social contribution activities.
 Also, until now, my research has focused on lowering the calorie density, but I think that increasing the calorie density will improve the nutritional status of elderly people who are fussy about eating, so I would like to do something like that.
