Carbohydrate restriction and a high-protein diet increase the burden on the body

 A clinical trial was conducted in the United States to determine the ratio of the three major nutrients.
 When the carbohydrate:fat:protein ratio was examined in three groups, low-fat XNUMX:XNUMX:XNUMX and XNUMX:XNUMX:XNUMX, and super carbohydrate restriction XNUMX:XNUMX:XNUMX, Urinary cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, also known as bad cholesterol, and CRP, which is an index of inflammation, all significantly increased with super carbohydrate restriction.It indicates the metabolic load of a high-protein diet.
 “You can see how a high-protein diet puts a strain on the body and causes it to rust here and there.”
 Watanabe also showed the results of a trial in which soy protein was substituted for half of the protein taken from meat for diabetics whose kidneys were beginning to fail.
 According to the study, four years later, those who continued to eat meat as they were had fasting blood sugar levels rise from XNUMX to XNUMX, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol also increased, BUN (blood urea nitrogen) increased, and kidney function improved. worried about the decline.Proteinuria and inflammatory markers also increased.
 On the other hand, those who cut back half of the meat were found to have improved all index values, including fasting blood sugar levels.
 In fact, Mr. Watanabe tried a carbohydrate-restricted ketogenic diet for about half a year from May last year. MEC is a meat, egg, and cheese meal. It is a diet of taking 90 grams of each per day and XNUMX cc of perilla oil and rice bran oil.
 She thought, "It's quite effective for gestational diabetes in very overweight people," but it was difficult to put into practice, and she felt pain in her fascia here and there.

Brown rice, miso soup, and vegetables can cover a lot of minerals

 Finally, about brown rice.
 “The more I research about brown rice, the more I realize that it is a gift from the gods.
 Based on Kenji Miyazawa's poetry, I made a meal with brown rice, miso soup with lots of ingredients, and a few vegetables, and found that I was getting enough minerals.
 “We don’t have much vitamin K, but brown rice has a lot of dietary fiber, so the intestinal bacteria are very energetic and produce vitamin K.”
 He gave the following advice on diet for healthy longevity.
 "The necessary heat sources are carbohydrates and lipids, weight x 80 units (XNUMX unit is XNUMX kilocalories), protein is weight x XNUMX grams, vegetables and fruits are about XNUMX grams. , beans, sesame, wakame (seaweed), vegetables, fish, shiitake (mushrooms), and potatoes.
 After the lecture, there was a question about abscisic acid, which is sometimes seen as a problem in brown rice, and asked whether it was better to throw away the water in which the brown rice was soaked, or to cook it to change it. there was.
 Mr. Watanabe immediately answered, "To put it in one word, the whole food is correct."
 Furthermore, after explaining that "abscisic acid is a plant hormone that suppresses germination and produces grains, not only rice but also wheat and all other grains contain abscisic acid", the life of each food is optimized. I questioned the pros and cons of picking out and discussing only one specific substance when everything is ready.
