Hunger is the best sauce.を励行

　生命を維持するため、私たちは食事が欠かせません。しかし、食品にはお金がかかることから、自分で作るより、出来合いのファストフードは比較的美味しく、安価であり、結果的に利用しがちです。しかし、大量に作って安価にし、売れ行きを良くしようとすると、生産過程で化学的肥料を使ったり、料理の過程で人工的な調味料を多用することも考えられます。

　ところが、このような食品は私たちの体内に負担をかけるので、常用すると必ずしも健康に良いとは限らないでしょう。もし、長い期間に亘り、利用して身体を壊すと医療費が嵩みます。

　「身体は食べ物で出来ており、健康を資産」と心得れば、食材も調味料も安全なもの、身体への負担が少ない健康的な食材を選ばなくてはなりません。

　このため私は「美味しいものという観点より、身体に良い食材を選ぶ」ようにしてます。値段が少々高めであっても「身体への投資」と考え、ケチりません。英語の諺「Hunger is the best sauce.」を日々実践しつつ、健康的な食事をめざします。良質な食材は高いだけでなく美味しいです。

　ところで、夕食後は活動がありません。夕食で腹八分目を励行すれば、少なめの量でも満足な食生活になります。庭に生る金柑を昼食のデザートとして、数個食べてます。私だけで食べ切るには5月までかかるでしょう。捥ぎにいらして下さい。

Dear my overseas friends who are crazy about nature and great music.

　The simultaneous interpretation for your understanding will be done after my breakfast Japan time.

　Food is indispensable to sustain our life. However, food is expensive, so we tend to use ready-made fast food, which is relatively tasty and inexpensive, rather than cooking it ourselves. However, when trying to mass produce food at low cost and increase sales, chemical fertilizers may be used in the production process, and artificial seasonings may be used in the cooking process.

　However, such foods tend to strain on our inner organs in succession, so consuming them regularly may not necessarily be good for our health. If we consume them for a long period and damage our health, medical expenses will increase.

　When considering "health as an asset," if we keep in mind that "our bodies are made of food," we have to choose safe ingredients and seasonings, and healthy ingredients that put little strain on the inner organs.

　For this reason, I try to "choose ingredients that are good for the body rather than delicious." Even if the price is a little higher, I think of it as an "investment for my body" and, I do not skimp. I aim to eat healthy meals while practicing the English proverb "Hunger is the best sauce." every day. Good quality ingredients are not only expensive but also delicious. There is no activity after dinner. If we eat only until we are 80% full at dinner, we can be satisfied with a small amount of food.

　By the way, I eat a few kumquats that grow in my garden as a dessert for lunch. It will take me until May to eat them all by myself. Please come and pick them. Let's talk about our life in the future.
