[Immunity UP information] "Medicine and Food Health Forum" Q&A ①
[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 22nd installment introduces the question and answer session with Mr. Okazaki and Mr. Watanabe from the special feature "Medicine and Food Health Forum" of "Musubi Magazine April 4 issue". (all XNUMX times). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the relationship between tooth ratio and food? Q.In macrobiotics, it is often said that food should be eaten according to the proportions of the teeth.32Out of its teeth, it has XNUMX front teeth for cutting vegetables and seaweed, XNUMX canine teeth for eating meat, and molar teeth for grinding grains.20I have a book.If so, two-eighths of all food is vegetables and seaweed, one-eighth is animal meat and fish, and five-eighths is grains.
A.Mr. Okazaki said, "This story is really easy to understand, so it's really interesting. I'm impressed that you think it's well thought out," and then introduced examples of other animals. People are32Although it is a book, generally mammals44In the book, the ratio is XNUMX front teeth, XNUMX canine, XNUMX premolars, and XNUMX molars. Molars are divided into premolars and molars, but according to Mr. Okazaki, ``premolars are for eating meat, and molars are for herbivory.''However, herbivores such as horses have flattened premolars to facilitate the grinding of plants. For humans,20Among the molars, there are eight premolars and molars including wisdom teeth.12It's a book.That means, ``Humans have both premolars and molars, so I think they are omnivores. As mentioned in the lecture, the front teeth also play an important role in preying on food. “In the past, when children said yes, the tips of their baby teeth touched each other. If you cut food into small pieces [when cooking], you won't be able to bite with your front teeth, and there won't be any gaps between your front teeth.
How to live in harmony with intestinal bacteria Q.How do gut bacteria contribute to health? A.Mr. Watanabe introduced the theory of Mr. Tomotari Mitsuoka, a leading researcher of intestinal bacteria. According to it, there are various intestinal bacteria, about XNUMX% are good bacteria, about XNUMX% are bad bacteria, and the remaining XNUMX% are called opportunistic bacteria that are dominant.Bifidobacterium is representative of good bacteria, and viruses are representative of bad bacteria. If good bacteria are dominant, "yellow, banana-shaped stools will come out." “It is well known that intestinal bacteria produce vitamin K and other substances. We now know that single-chain fatty acids are absorbed into the blood as they are, prevent colon cancer, and are good for brain function.” Mr. Watanabe explained that there are symbiotic bacteria not only in the intestinal bacteria, but also in the oral cavity and skin. I think that people will pursue a way of life that allows them to live in harmony.” Okazaki also said that wild monkeys, who eat a variety of plants, have more types of intestinal bacteria than monkeys kept in zoos.Furthermore, if there are many types of intestinal bacteria, even if you eat poisonous plants, there is a possibility that the harm of the poison can be prevented by various types of intestinal bacteria.
