Improving your constitution is not an 'endurance contest.' The Berry Bread I make from time to time🍞
When you gather all sorts of information with the determination to 'Improve my constitution to overcome this illness!',
you might find yourself at a loss, thinking,'In the end, there's nothing left to eat'😭” and feeling completely overwhelmed.
At first, you're motivated and can stick to a stoic approach, but I often hear stories of people who can't keep it up in the long run, and the constitution improvement they worked so hard on ends up unfinished.
Improving your constitution is a long journey that takes years. While some cells can be improved in a few months, others take years to rebuild. Therefore,there is no need to be perfect at everything; it is important to quietly continue doing what you can within your limits while consulting with your own body.
On my YouTube channel, I share quite specialized content based on physiology and functional medicine, but I thought some of you might want to know what my actual diet was like, so from now on, in addition to lecture videos, I plan to introduce recipe videos and what I used.
So, this time, I'm introducing a treat called Berry Bread that I didn't actually make and eat while I was recovering (Wait, you didn't eat it?! lol), but if I had known about it back then, I definitely would have made and eaten it. It's also a treat that I, as I am now, make and eat from time to time😋✨
As I introduce in the video, this recipe is by Anthony William, who is world-famous as the Medical Medium. You might think 'Medical Medium' sounds incredibly suspicious, but isn't the fact that people all over the world have been saved by his message the greatest proof of all?
However, since his dietary suggestions are aimed at Westerners, many of the ingredients and smoothies are hard to find in Japan. Among them, this recipe uses relatively easy-to-find ingredients, so if you are interested, please try making it🎂 Actually, I wonder if there are people who would want to participate in an online or in-person workshop where we make this together?
Finally, I would like to touch on carbohydrates.
I often hear stories of people who, in order to overcome intractable diseases, resort to extreme carbohydrate restriction, only to find that after continuing it for a long time, their bodies can no longer use sugar effectively, making their condition even worse.
Of course, consuming too many carbohydrates is a problem, but thinking 'carbohydrates = evil' and avoiding them entirely is not necessarily a good choice for your body.
Our'brain' normally uses glucose as its primary energy source. Therefore, when glucose in the body is insufficient, a mechanism called'gluconeogenesis' kicks in, where the liver and other organs create glucose using amino acids, lactic acid, glycerol, etc., as materials.Gluconeogenesis is an essential metabolism for maintaining life, but since this process itself requires energy,some of the energy that could have originally been used for cell repair and recovery ends up being used to maintain blood sugar levels and brain function.
In other words,precisely because you are in the process of improving your constitution, it is important to consume an appropriate amount of high-quality carbohydrates rather than extreme restriction so that you can direct energy toward recovery.
S-O-!
Don't be afraid!! (In the style of Miki Maya)
That's all from the field🫡
