「自然に添う食べ方：玄米食のプラス面、マイナス面」東城百合子	Eating That Follows Nature -The Positives and Negatives of Brown Rice Diet- Yuriko TOJO
健康ブームで、玄米食もずいぶん一般に知られる様になってきましたが、玄米がいいとなると何が何でもとびついて失敗したり、すぐやめて続かない例が多い。食品には一つで完全はないし、マイナス面もプラス面もあり、補い合って調和し、健康に生きられます。	With the trend of healthy living on the rise, the brown rice diet has become greatly known in a general sense. However, the fact that it is good seems to mislead some people; very often, they will leap at the trend and fail, or soon give up on the diet altogether. No foods are complete on their own: given their positives and negatives, they supplement each other in order to achieve a balance, and with this, one can lead a healthy life.
玄米をおいしく食べるには、炊き方が下手だと続かない。テレビでも、玄米ご飯はおいしくないので、おいしく食べるにはチャーハンとかサラダ料理などがよいと紹介していました。これじゃ長続きしません。	In order to enjoy brown rice, cooking it badly will not help continue on the diet. Even on TV, recipes of fried rice and salads are being introduced as ways to enjoy brown rice, suggesting it does not have a good taste on its own. I cannot see it lasting this way.
まずおいしく炊く勉強ををしましょう。そのために別著「食べ物と自然療法」を参照してその通りにするとおいしく炊ける。玄米でご飯を食べていると疲れない。便通よく、体調もよくなっていく事を実感します。	First, my advice is learning how to cook it well. One can cook it well by referring to my book, Food and Natural Remedies, and following the directions. Meals with brown rice will prevent fatigue. With a healthy bowel movement, one will experience the improvement of overall physical condition.
しかし玄米は外に皮があるので、ふっくらと炊くといいが、よく噛まなければ胃の負担となり、異常発酵の傾向があります。特に馴れない人はよく噛むことからはじめましょう。	Although cooking brown rice to a turn helps, its outer skin can put a strain on the stomach if not chewed enough, and this could result in abnormal fermentation. It is important to start with chewing well, especially for those who are not used to the diet.
玄米のプラス面は、何と言っても現代人の不足しやすいビタミンB群、フィチン、イノシトール等の強肝成分が多いことです。だから肝臓の妙薬で、肝臓の働きを助け、解毒作用を強めるので抗公害食品です。	The positive aspect of brown rice, above all, lies in the abundance of liver-strengthening ingredients that modern people tend to lack, such as B-complex vitamins, phytic acid, and inositol. Therefore, brown rice, the ultimate remedy for the liver, is an anti-pollutant food that helps the functions of the liver and increases detoxification reactions.
この中のガンマーオリザノールは神経や頭脳の働きを助け、心臓、肝臓、腎臓、脾臓、胃腸、筋肉、腱などの強化には大変よい食品です。	Gamma oryzanol, which also exists in brown rice, helps the functions of the nerves and the brain. In addition, brown rice is tremendously effective for strengthening the heart, liver, kidney, spleen, stomach, intestines, muscles, and tendons.
一品だけで調和はとれない	Balance Takes More Than One Food
公害や、多すぎるコレストロールを排泄し、細胞に活力をつけ、生殖、若返りに役立つビタミンEが豊富。高血圧、脳溢血、不妊症、その他慢性病の治療や予防食としても優秀な食品です。	Brown rice helps the excretion of pollutants and excessive cholesterol and gives energy to cells. It is rich in vitamin E, which supports reproduction and anti-aging. It is excellent as a preventive food or treatment for high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhage, infertility, and other chronic diseases.
ですから玄米食は大変いいのですが、食べ方によってマイナスにもなりますから、始める場合は少量から胃腸になじませながら、アタマでなく胃腸と相談して量をきめていきます。	Surely, brown rice possesses all of these positives; however, one needs to start with small portions in order for the stomach and intestines to become accustomed to the diet, as it can have a negative effect depending on how it is eaten. One also needs to check carefully with how the stomach and intestines, rather than the head, manage the diet for determining the appropriate amount.
白米なら、アワ、キビ、ヒエ、麦などの雑穀をまぜて炊き込んで、徐々に馴らすのもよい。	Another way to adjust is by cooking regular sushi rice with minor grains, such as awa (foxtail millet), kibi (millet), hie (Japanese barnyard millet), and oats.
玄米は、カルシウムが少なく、マグネシウム、リンが多いのが欠点で、カルシウムの多い海草か、またゴマを炒り、すってごくうすい塩味にして、大さじ一杯はふりかけて食べると補えます。	On the negative side, brown rice is low in calcium, high in magnesium and phosphorus. One can supplement by eating high-calcium seaweed with brown rice, or sprinkling at least one tablespoon of lightly-salted, roasted sesame on brown rice.
またビタミンAやCもないので、これ等が多い緑黄色野菜、特に青い葉っぱの小松菜、大根葉、人参葉、ニラにはカルシウムもA（カロチンの形である）もCもあるので、色の濃い野菜は大切です。	The brightly-colored vegetables, especially the green-leafed komatsuna (Japanese spinach mustard), daikon radish leaves, carrot leaves, and Chinese chives that contain all of calcium, vitamin A (a form of carotene), and vitamin C, are essential, with the absence of vitamin A and C in mind.
今まで副食を多く食べてきた人は、徐々に減らすこと。特に動物性食品や砂糖類が多い場合は、リンが多くなり、カルシウムが少ない。またビタミンB1がないので、澱粉をブドウ糖にして燃焼できず、血液が酸性になり、血行が悪くなります。	For those that have always had a lot of side dishes, they need to be reduced in amount. Especially when animal products or sugar types are contained in large quantity, the level of phosphorus will rise, and that results in the lack of calcium. Since brown rice does not contain vitamin B1, it cannot convert starch into glucose, which then cannot be burned; therefore, the blood turns acidic, and blood circulation worsens.
またビタミンB1がないと、脳の働きを助け、頭の回転をよくする良質のブドウ糖ができない。体を暖めるのもブドウ糖です。不足すると頭の回転も悪いし、血液の流れも悪く、内臓の働きにもブレーキとなりつかれやすい。	The absence of vitamin B1 also means that high-quality glucose, which helps the functions of the brain and improves the efficiency of thinking, cannot be formed. Glucose is what warms the body as well. Its deficiency is responsible for poor thinking, bad blood circulation, and an interference with the functions of internal organs, causing fatigability.
回し食いの実行から	Starting with the Practice of Even-Eating Habit
玄米のプラス面を高めるためには野菜や海草、大豆、小豆、黒豆などを食べ合わせます。野菜なども揚げ物より、純良植物油で炒めた方が効率はよい。下痢しやすい人でも炒めてから煮ると吸収しやすい。	In order to enhance the positives of brown rice, one needs to combine other foods, such as vegetables, seaweed, soybeans, azuki beans, and black beans. Vegetables are more effective when stir-fried with pure vegetable oil, rather than when they are fried. Even for those with loose bowels, vegetables that are boiled and stir-fried are better for absorption.
ゴマは、すりゴマなど買わないで、使うとき炒ってすると酸化せず、香ばしくておいしく頂けるし、消化液もよく出るので吸収もいい。	Instead of buying grinded sesame, oxidation can be prevented by roasting and grinding sesame only when it is used. In this manner, it is aromatic and delicious, and the release of digestive fluid also helps absorption.
玄米食の場合は、玄米に栄養分が多いし、蛋白質の足りない分は大豆や黒豆、小豆、ゴマ、木の実、グルテン（麩）、みそ汁などで補い、病人食には動物性は少ない方がよく健康食でも動物性四、植物性六の割合がよい。勿論植物性だけでもOKです。	In the case of brown rice diet, a lot of nutrients are contained in brown rice, and where it lacks in protein, foods such as soy beans, black beans, azuki beans, sesame, nuts, fu (wheat-gluten bread), and miso soup are good to supplement with. As hospital food, the less animal-based food, the better it is. The ratio of vegetable-based food to animal-based should be six to four, even for the regular healthy diet. Of course, it is completely fine to eat only vegetable-based foods.
玄米食の場合、美食家でも玄米を主とした食べ方をすると、一応食卓に肉や魚を沢山並べても、食べる量が減ってきます。	Even if a lot of meat or fish was served on the table, brown rice will prevent gourmets from eating as much as they used to once it becomes the center of their diet.
玄米一口に副食一口の回し食いが正しい食べ方ですから、今までのように、副食を主に、主食を少々の食べ方とは逆になるので、副食が少なくなってきます。	As the proper way of eating is one bite of brown rice with one bite of side dish, or “even-eating habit,” one will eat less of side dishes, countering the previous eating habit of a lot of side dishes and not very much of main dishes.
すると嗜好も自然になり、時には食べてもあまりコッテリした濃い味の動物食は好まなくなるものです。	This way, one’s liking will become natural, and (s)he will not crave the rich-taste, animal-based foods even if (s)he did eat them once in a while.
体の健康を願うなら、心を自然に添わせることから。自分の中に納得する素直な心を養う（自然とは自ら然りと書く）ことで、生き方、考え方、食物の好みも変わってきます。	A step towards health starts with suiting the mind to nature. Through nurturing a sound, honest mind, one's way of living, way of thinking, and taste for food will gradually start to change.
