The Absolute Amount of Nutrients: What Do We Truly Need?
"What is a balanced diet?"
Instead of vague expressions, the key is to identify the "absolute amount" of each nutrient. For instance, increasing the amount of rice when you have more side dishes, or even increasing alcohol and snacks, is a misconception. This is the wisdom of Noriaki Kakyoin, rooted in calm rationality.
The Power of Chewing: Hidden Benefits of Eating
The benefits of eating go beyond just nutrient intake. "The act of eating itself" offers numerous advantages.
Improves Memory: Eating activates the brain!
Enhances Digestion and Satiety: Chewing slowly aids digestion and brings a sense of fullness.
Burns Fat: Proper chewing promotes metabolism.
Boosts Immunity: Saliva strengthens immunity and reduces the risk of periodontal disease.
Improves Facial Wrinkles and Sagging: Chewing trains facial muscles!
The Necessity of Supplements: The Savior of Modern Nutrition
In today's world, it is challenging to obtain all the necessary nutrients from food alone. The reason is clear. The nutrient content in food has drastically decreased compared to the Showa era. For instance, the vitamin A in carrots is now only one-tenth of what it used to be, and the iron in spinach is one-sixth, with vitamin C being less than one-fourth.
Environmental Issues and the Role of Supplements
Environmental hormones and heavy metal contamination in natural foods pose additional risks. In such a scenario, supplements play a crucial role. Moreover, in the busy lives of modern people, the convenience of supplements for quick nutrient intake is highly beneficial.
Rational Thinking and the Utility of Supplements
Just as bodybuilders' muscles are often deemed unnatural, supplements are also seen as unnatural. However, rational thinking dictates that "natural" is not always the best. Many natural foods contain toxins, and anti-aging practices are the epitome of unnaturalness.
Conclusion: Evolving Health Management
Today, not only avoiding diseases but achieving unprecedented levels of health, beauty, and athletic performance is possible. To reap these benefits, it is essential to differentiate between "diet" and "supplements" and utilize what is necessary while discarding what is not. This evolved approach to health management feels truly "natural."
