Description

No one would deny that food is the source of life. The purpose of self-care in diet is the prevention of disease and improvement of prognosis through careful consideration of digestion, nutrition, and health function of food. In this paper, I would like to unravel a part of the history of dietary self-care in Oriental medicine and especially the Japanese theory of food health care. People tend to think only about taking so-called health foods. But before that, they need to avoid bad habits about diet, especially their preference for strong flavors and not chewing well. By avoiding bad habits, they will be able to enjoy lighter flavors and stimulate their entire digestive system to absorb and utilize the nutrients and ingredients in food to the fullest. This is the essence of self-care in dieting.
