May 5th, Hong Kong on a summer day.A collaborative project with the Hong Kong Friends Association, "~Kitchen medicine shop~Lecture on medical treatment using food, which can be done before going to the hospital" was held. Because Hong Kong is a southern country than Japan, it is very humid, and even though the outside air is hot, indoors are exposed to strong air conditioning of about 26 degrees, and there are many people who get sick.It's a narrow and densely populated area, and just like SARS became popular, it's really fast when infections start to spread!It's really common to talk about children's class closures.There are many people around me who suffer from respiratory diseases such as asthma and skin diseases. That's why it's convenient to know macrobiotics!Grandma's WisdomBut first, there are many things I want you to review in your daily life before you get sick.Are you eating too much?Are you eating seasonal foods?Are you chewing well? What you can do first.Let's start by reviewing the seasonings that enter the body every day.This time, we distributed salt with the cooperation of Umi no Sei.You can buy sea spirits in Hong Kong, so be sure to change the salt in your kitchen. Then, I talked about the importance of chewing, saying, "Are you chewing?!"We had the cooperation of a rice maker who sells brown rice in Hong Kong, so we challenged them to see how many times they could chew the petit brown rice balls.When I told them that I chewed brown rice 20 times and Kyushu brown rice teacher chewed 550 times, everyone was surprised!It seems that I was able to understand how I usually don't chew consciously. 
Tasting the real umeboshi bancha made by kneading plums and soy sauce.We also distributed convenient portable umeboshi bancha sticks.This is useful in Hong Kong, where there are many afternoon teas, and there are many opportunities to drink.Demonstrating tofu pasta and green vegetable pillows, daikon radish and apple allowances, and lotus root.While introducing Koren, I asked my students to talk about their experiences and shared them with everyone.I feel that it is important to be able to realize the experience by doing so.Many people did not want their children to take medicine, so everyone listened seriously.I am grateful to the Hong Kong Friends Association for giving me this opportunity!I would be happy if everyone who participated could become a little more conscious of food and become interested in macrobiotics. * The Hong Kong Friends Association1930It was created in 5 by fans of the magazine "Fujin no Tomo," launched by Motoko Hani.We want to create a better society by nurturing healthy families and working with local communities.It is an active group, and plans such as food education lectures are held about twice a year.This time as well, it was free to participate, so I decided to collaborate with the idea that I could convey macrobiotics to the general public.
