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 20th installment introduces a lecture by Mr. Yoshihide Okazaki from the "Musubi Magazine April 6 issue" special feature "Medicine and Food Health Forum". (all XNUMX times). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the difference between a sports drink and an oral rehydration solution? A popular sports drinkpHAbout XNUMX.Tooth enamel begins to dissolvepHIt's around XNUMX, so soaking your teeth in a sports drink will dissolve them. Recently, tooth decay caused by sports drinks has become a problem. Mr. Okazaki explained in an easy-to-understand manner why sports drinks are harmful, comparing them with oral rehydration solutions. Oral rehydration solution was originally developed as a simpler method than intravenous drip in order to prevent cholera, which occurs in large numbers in summer in India.The purpose is to replenish the water and salt (sodium) lost from the body due to severe diarrhea, and XNUMX-XNUMX% glucose is added to improve absorption. "Has anyone tried oral rehydration solution? It tastes salty and unpleasant. It's not sweet because it's XNUMX% glucose. But it tastes good when you drink it when you're dehydrated." Sports drinks, on the other hand, have a high sugar content of XNUMX% and a low sodium content. "We add sugar to make it tastier."However, due to the high sugar content, it is difficult for sodium to be absorbed. Mr. Okazaki says, "Actually, oral rehydration solutions were used in Japan long ago." “When I was not feeling well, there was umeboshi in rice water. Rice water is like the top layer of rice porridge. It is almost like glucose. In addition, texts that introduce how superior sports drinks are are published on the Internet. I called Before jumping into something new, it is important to review the wisdom of our predecessors.
What is a school lunch that encourages eating in the sink? Mr. Okazaki showed a picture of a certain menu = the upper left picture. At first, only the left half was shown. There is a porridge-like food called "risotto" and a side dish of finely chopped ingredients on top of it. "I was asked if it was food for a facility for the elderly, and when I said no, they said it was baby food. This is actually a school lunch." Indeed, when the hidden right half was revealed, there was a slice of cheese and a milk carton. It is a menu that you can eat like washing it down with milk without chewing it too much.With this, you can't chew well and get plenty of saliva out. On the other hand, the menu that Mr. Okazaki praised as "wonderful" was also introduced. There is milk, but brown rice, a whole river fish amago, thickly cut stick vegetables, miso soup with lots of ingredients, apples with skin, dried squid, etc.It's all about what you can taste by chewing well. “They are the same school lunches, so they are equally nutritionally satisfying. But which school lunches will the children eat healthier in the future?” asked Mr. Okazaki. Mr. Okazaki believes that as a result of continuing to eat school lunches, the habit of having a drink at meal time has become a habit, and the number of children who wash down their meals has increased. We introduced a school in Kagawa Prefecture as a way to prevent school lunches from being washed down.At that school, after taking the first sip of milk after saying "itadakimasu", the lid is closed immediately, and after eating the whole thing, the rest of the milk is drunk at the end. "That alone will increase the number of times you chew." The effects of pouring down food go beyond just reducing saliva secretion.According to Mr. Okazaki, it is easy to invite harmful mouth breathing.
