Are you mentally and physically ready for work?
[Body and mental conditioning Ai-sensei's good ingredients to eat this week! ] vol.142
It's a new year. I think everyone has a lot of imagination about what kind of year this year will be. It's exciting to think about various expectations and goals. It would be nice if that kind of tension continued, but when I say New Year's greetings, eat New Year's and other feasts, and take a break, I feel like I don't want to move, my body feels heavy, I don't feel motivated, and my brain doesn't work. , Isn't it a symptom of New Year's blur, such as being worried about starting work?
I think it's the same as every year, but I think it's about time to get back on track and get back to normal life. However, if you eat and drink what you like during the year-end and New Year holidays and sleep at the time you like, your body will be overloaded. In addition, the characteristics of the winter climate also have an impact, which boosts the New Year's blur. So, this week we will introduce food and medicine habits for those who want to blow away the New Year blur.
This week, I'm going to have a diet and medicine habit to alleviate the New Year's blur
I'm sure many of you are about to start work. I would be happy if I could spend my time carefully so that the new year will be fulfilling with a new feeling and full of motivation. By the way, did you get rid of last year's fatigue? Or don't you feel dull because your life rhythm has changed on the contrary during a long vacation? It is also during this period that you are more likely to feel negative feelings such as feeling tired, tired, unmotivated, etc. even though you had a day off.
It makes sense that the word "New Year's blur" has been around for a long time. When you move your body less and spend less time in the sun, the decrease in serotonin makes your mind and sleep unstable, overeating puts a strain on your stomach and intestines, and drinking too much puts a strain on your liver. For example, staying up late at night can't restore your body well, and staying in the air conditioner for a long time can make your skin, mouth, and nasal mucous membranes dry, causing rough skin and a sore throat. The time is full of actions that lead to malfunction.
Therefore, this week I will introduce food and medicine habits so that you can escape from New Year's blur as soon as possible. In Kampo medicine, this state of New Year's blur is considered to be "Ki and blood deficiency" and "kidney deficiency". Therefore, in order to motivate you, I will introduce food medicine that supplements "ki and blood" and supports the "kidneys" that are weakened at this time. The best ingredients/menu to eat is [Scrambled eggs with wood ear fungus].
Food and medicine rice [Good food to eat this week: Scrambled eggs with fungus] I think it's overflowing. Partly because of that, if you have free time, you may eat something. But is that what your mind and body really want right now?
If you're feeling unwell right now, your diet may not be providing what you need. Therefore, we recommend scrambled eggs with fungus that can supplement the nutrition you need now. You can imagine how to make it. Just add wood ear mushrooms to the scrambled eggs.

Because of the overeating and overeating during the year-end and New Year holidays, many people may be lacking dietary fiber that helps cleanse the body. In addition, since the daylight hours are short, vitamin D will be deficient if the daily rhythm becomes a little irregular and the opportunity to be exposed to the sun decreases. Therefore, wood ear fungus is an excellent food that can take dietary fiber and vitamin D at the same time. Supports kidney function.
[Eggs]
It is a representative ingredient that supplements "ki", which contains a large amount of tryptophan, which is a material of serotonin that works to regulate the body clock and mentality. In addition, it is rich in nutrients such as vitamin D, which is lacking in winter, vitamin A, which strengthens mucous membranes, vitamin E, which promotes blood flow, vitamin B group, which is the source of motivation, and protein. During the New Year period, when there are more opportunities to eat preserved foods that are salty-sweet and high in sugar and fat, how about supplementing your body with simple ingredients such as eggs?
After a long vacation, it's realistic to try to get in shape with something simple rather than cooking that takes time and effort. Scrambled eggs are a simple dish that anyone can make. Many people may not have wood ear fungus at home, but it is useful for physical condition management during this time of year, and it is a food that can be kept for a long time if you choose dried food. It looks like it's good to be promoted to the standing ingredients this week.
Additional recipes for strengthening the mind and body are introduced in "Syoku-yaku-han-yaku-yaku-yaku-yaku-han-chou-cho" (Sekai Bunka Publishing). If you want to know more, please take a look.
* What is food and medicine? In Kampo medicine, humans are a part of nature, and changes in nature are considered to affect physical condition. Not only changes in temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure, but also the movements of the sun and moon affect the body. Remember when you were a student and learned about the solar and lunar calendars? Many people know that the number of days in January and the seasons were determined by the movements of the sun and moon.
The gravitational force of the moon and the sun changes depending on the position with the earth, and the tides occur on the earth. About 70% of the earth is said to be water, and similarly, about 70% of the human body is said to be water. With that in mind, I think it's easy to imagine that humans are also affected by the moon and the sun. The Emperor's Internal Classics, the oldest medical book in China, also mentions that the moon affects physical condition.
In other words, you can manage your physical condition more accurately by using various indicators such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, sun, and moon changes. The use of dietary content for this physical condition management is called “food medicine”.
