[Immune power up information] Recently, the new coronavirus has taken the world by storm. In this corner, you can find information on how to build a body that can withstand corona, We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing. The 18th installment introduces an interview with Takako Ozaki from "Musubi Magazine February 6 issue". (all XNUMX times). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutritional science that does not suit the Japanese body Calcium supplements other than milk Regarding modern nutrition science in Japan, Mr. Kozaki said, ``It was introduced from Germany in XNUMX, and was devised based on the weight of strong German soldiers. There are things that make our bodies different.It is said that we Japanese have a longer intestine than Westerners by nearly two meters.However, the amount of insulin we take is only half that of Westerners." increase. For example, milk is generally considered to be a good source of calcium.However, Mr. Kozaki himself says, "I don't drink a drop of milk." Then, saying, "There are ways for Japanese people to take in calcium," he recommended taking it from vegetables, seaweed, and small fish. “The radish leaves contain as much calcium as two bottles of milk (XNUMX grams). A handful and half of Japanese mustard spinach is equivalent to the amount of one milk. , you can get enough calcium Furthermore, in kindergartens, we make tsukudani from dried sardines and kombu seaweed after removing the stock.Of course, it is also rich in calcium.
Well-balanced nutrition with body fuji and seasonal ingredients that you want to cherish There is something that Mr. Kozaki cherishes when choosing food.It is body fuji and season, the whole thing. Shindofuji is the idea that the body and the soil (the natural environment including the land) are inseparable. It is also known as "local production for local consumption", but if you eat what you live in, you will be able to build a body that is suitable for the environment of the land, which will be the foundation of your health. “In the olden days, people used to tell us to eat food from the four li squares where we live. It is Shindofuji that it is the one that best suits your body.” Regarding seasonality, he said, “We have tomatoes, cucumbers, and green peppers even in winter, but these are summer vegetables. If you feed them well, the children will also gain power." “The whole thing means eating the whole radish, including the skin, the leaves, and the fruit.” Daikon radishes can be eaten whole without throwing away the leaves or peeling the skin, making it a nutritionally balanced food. As for rice, I recommended unpolished rice with bran instead of white rice, which is prone to nutritional deficiencies. "White rice is written as 'kasu', and rice is written as 'healthy' and read as 'nuka'," says Mr. Kozaki. "If we don't go back to the basics and reconsider what we eat, our children's bodies will be in a terrible state. That's why we have to make sure that our children are healthy through food."
Decrease in the number of children absent from kindergarten by switching from school lunches that used to contain a lot of animal products to traditional Japanese food Nowadays, Futaba Kindergarten is devoted to "traditional Japanese" school lunches that do not use any meat, eggs, dairy products, or white sugar.11Until XNUMX, school lunches were full of meat, eggs, and dairy products. “I was in my XNUMXs at the time, and I often woke up feeling tired in the morning, and there were times when I thought, ‘I don’t think I’ll be able to work until retirement age. I was fine after a while." What changes have you seen in the children? “The skin of children with atopic dermatitis improved in the next year or so after starting Japanese food. The number of children who were absent from school due to illness decreased. There are no more children, and the number of decayed teeth has decreased.In addition, children who are restless are now able to look others in the eye and listen to what they have to say.”
