Human beings (but not limited to) cannot miss meals (though the future is unknown)。Because living and eating are inseparable、A lot of experience and ideas have been accumulated since ancient times.。It is only natural that food is at the center of all cultures.。

Throughout its history, the idea of ​​``viewing food as calories''、very special。If you think about it honestly、Enjoying the deliciousness、The ideal view of eating is to eat only as much as you want.。In other words、Focus on appearance, smell, and taste、Isn't it more normal to rely on intuitive judgment?。There are calories and nutrients.、I brought in another criterion for judgment that cannot be grasped intuitively.、Could it be a modern view of food?。

If you think about it again, honestly、Meal quality in terms of calories and nutrition、The idea of ​​regulating the amount of food is adapted to modern times, where diseases caused by dietary habits are becoming more and more known.、In other words, it can be said that the idea came from the doctor's side (and the government's side as well).。It's not an optimistic idea, but、view of health、This may be due to a change in their sense of well-being.。In any case, it was not an idea from Mr. Itamae.。

In modern times, "a well-balanced diet" can be summed up in one word.、Balance between this sensory view of eating and a medical/preventive view of eating、And although it is biased towards calories,、Is this a meal with a good balance of nutrients and calories?。

I think I'm jumping to conclusions a little too quickly.、In that sense, speaking of a well-balanced meal,、I just want to say that I have reaffirmed that this is actually a diabetic diet (though that's not the right word).。In the past, it was said that diabetic diets were ``unpalatable, but we had no choice but to put up with them in order to treat the disease.''、Recently, much improvement has been made、It seems to be quite satisfying both in terms of taste and quantity (at least to me).。Above all、体から無駄なものが抜けてスッキリしていく感覚は小気味良いものではないか（と想像する）。

貧しい食事だと誤解していた糖尿病食こそ、実はバランスのとれた健康食であることに、恥ずかしながら全くの無知であった。バランスのとり方、考え方もまるで自分を主人公にしたゲームのようだということも初めて知った。

覚えたての知識をひけらかそうというのではない。その反対。私の食事をそのバランス感で見ると、実に滅茶苦茶なものだ。よくもこれまで大した病気もせずに過ごしてきたものだと、運とDNAに感謝するばかり。知らないということは恐ろしい。　　2011/9/1

I had a metabolic syndrome checkup in July.。The result is that there is a problem with kidney function.。I was a little surprised because the other data improved each time I visited the doctor.。Kidney function tests will be introduced in Satte City from this year.、There was no data until last year.。If there had been a test, I would have taken care of it sooner.、It's a bit unfortunate, but I can't say that.。

I have hernias in 4 places, my neck and lower back.、As your weight increases, it becomes more stressful。What doctors tell me is weight control and abdominal muscles.、strengthening the back muscles。At first I tried everything nervously, but、Only weight control these days。

Weight control is somewhat like a game and is interesting.、This may be another reason why it continues。abs、Strengthening the back muscles、Unless you're aiming for some kind of match、It's a bit difficult to continue, but I'll give up.、This is a matrix of combinations of numbers and intentions related to diet, exercise, etc.。Objective view of one's feelings and body、It feels like a game。

From a few days ago、reading a book on diet for diabetics。Although it may be too obvious and boring for patients,、I'm impressed by the interesting way you think about food.。

A kind of data book called ``Food Exchange Table'' is the dietary guide.、It's also a dictionary。A system of dietary therapy is summarized in that book.、As a major premise for making the guideline effective、Doctors, registered dietitians, and patients work together as one、We must form a team to reap the fruits of health.。In order to ``live a healthy life,'' we first set the perspective of ``viewing meals as calories.''。Your doctor will decide how many calories you should eat each day.、A registered dietitian is in charge of calorie allocation and menu planning.、There is a division of responsibility in which the patient ultimately performs the procedure.。It's really systematic、Of course, if we don't do that, we won't be able to overcome the disease.。but、Here's where it gets interesting。

first、The key to this diet is to convert those calories into "units" that can be counted visually.。80kcal as 1 unit、For example, 1 unit is 50g of rice.、Half of one slice of six slices of bread is also considered one unit, making it equal.、Visualize it and make it exchangeable (hence the name food exchange table).。“Visualization,” which was popularly talked about a few years ago, has been around for at least 50 years.、This is being done practically all over Japan (actually, worldwide?)、In that sense, the medical field was much more advanced than the corporate field.、I'm surprised at first。

just look at the food、Unscientific ways of eating, such as eating from what you like, are basically prohibited (after all, this book is aimed at diabetics)! Foods are classified according to their nutritional characteristics.、Sorted into Tables 1 to 6。Table 1 is grains/carbohydrates、Table 3 is meat/protein、Table 6 is vegetables and vitamins、like a mineral。Registered dietitians use it in combination with the "unit" mentioned earlier.、Quantify the patient's calorie needs。For example, if you need 1600 kcal, one unit is 80 kcal, so divide it and convert it into taking 20 units of food.。Then add the 20 units to 10 units from Table 1.、From Table 3, say 6 units, etc.、Instruct people to consume as much of everything from Tables 1 to 6 as possible (this does not mean evenly)。Combine the number of units and tables according to the patient's condition。

The accuracy of this combination、Affects the patient's health recovery。It is also necessary to assess the patient's strength of will.。Matrix of numbers, science, and human psychology。Isn't that the essence of the game? (This section continues at a later date)
