柿は美味しく、しかも抗酸化作用あり

　今朝、ラジオ体操会場近くの温度計が１０°Cでした。空には一点の雲もなく、群馬の名峰・赤城山、御荷鉾山などの稜線がくっきり見え、日本列島が大陸の高気圧に覆われてることが分かります。

　ラジオ体操仲間が会員に柿を二つづつ配ってました。彼女は私にもどうぞと言ったので「私は元々"柿沼"ですから、いいですよ。」と言いましたら、周囲が大笑いでした。もちろん、ご覧の通り、私の庭にも柿が鈴なりです。

　ところで柿の効能は「喉や鼻の健康維持につながり、風邪の予防に役立つ」と言われてます。 その他、ビタミンA、β-カロテンが備わり、これは大切な抗酸化作用です。抗酸化作用とは老化の原因とされる活性酸素を抑える働きがあり、柿を食べるといいことづくめです。

　

Dear my overseas friends

　This morning, the thermometer near the radio gymnastics venue showed 10°C. There was not a single cloud in the sky, so that the ridgelines of Gumma's famous peaks, such as Mt. Akagi and Mt. Mikabo were clearly visible. This means that the Japanese archipelago is covered by a continental high-pressure.

　One of our radio gymnastics friends was presenting two persimmons to each members. She came to me as well, so I said, "My name is originally Kakinuma that means Persimmon Marsh, so I needn't it." When I said that, everyone around us burst into laughter. Of course, as you can see, there are persimmon tree in my garden.

　By the way, the benefits of persimmon are said to be "maintaining the health of our throat and nose, and helping prevent colds." As you know, it also contains vitamin A and beta-carotene which are important antioxidants. Therefore, eating persimmon is full of benefits as it has an antioxidant effect that suppresses active oxygen, which is thought to prevent aging.
