Conditioning Mind and Body Through Diet [Summer Edition]
Hello ☺️
This time, I am writing an article as a nutritionist.
Recently, at the Gokita Juku,
※Details can be found in this note.
I gave a presentation on Conditioning Mind and Body Through Diet [Summer Edition]!
Enjoying and savoring the season
Seasonal recipes and time-saving tips
Practicing in a way that suits you
I talked about these three topics. I will share an excerpt from one of them.
I will share an excerpt from one of them.
People often say, "Eat seasonal foods," but...
Why are seasonal foods good?
I will explain this based on the changes that occur in your body as the seasons change.
That unique feeling of restlessness and excitement after the start of the new fiscal year.
Even as adults, perhaps we don't experience changes as drastic as we did when we were children, but...
Still, I remember in my student days, I would get motivated and try to write neatly in a new notebook. Haha.
It's clear to see that not only humans, but also living creatures and plants become more active.
Here are the phenomena occurring this season ↓
Feeling tired from the surrounding atmosphere of "Alright! Let's do our best! ✊"
That's right. In this season, humans, animals, and plants... everyone is in "Alright! Let's do our best!" mode.
However, contrary to that, the mind gets tired.
That is why peas 🫛 and new potatoes 🥔, which provide youthful essence (haha), are good. These are seasonal vegetables available at this time.
The reason is that both beans and potatoes will sprout if you bury them in the soil.
They are that rich in energy. By receiving that youthful energy, you can put energy into your mind as well. That doesn't mean you have to push yourself... it's important to relax while eating seasonal foods like that.
I think it makes you tired to think, "The nutritional value is such and such..." and
Accept that your body is changing in this way.
Borrow the power of ingredients to maintain the balance of mind and body.
I hope you can enjoy the season with that kind of mindset.
This time,May BluesI also introduced in this note an excerpt about diet during the period from Rikka to Shoman (this current time), when people are prone to it!
Thank you for reading this far.
