Hello, this is Suzuki, a registered dietitian at Ren MURO Kagurazaka.
With the new year and the colder weather, many people are worried about their physical condition.

Christmas ~ New Year's feast and stomach is tired,
After the holidays, the time to eat dinner tends to be late due to busy days,
I can't get out of my futon in the morning because of the cold and my body's heaviness...

This time of year, there are many people who have such troubles.

Therefore, today, I would like to introduce a method to improve fatigue caused by gastrointestinal upset under the theme of " Amazake fasting only at night ".

[Gastrointestinal care that continues to work]

The gastrointestinal tract that eats three meals a day and continues to work without rest.

In particular, during the Christmas and New Year holidays, the stomach and intestines must have been working at full speed more than usual.

If you don't have a lot of appetite or feel a heavy stomach at this time of year, it may be a sign that your stomach is tired .

At night, the body gets tired and the gastrointestinal function also decreases.

Therefore, for those who have weak stomach or who eat late at night and are not feeling well,
Ideally, you should have a light dinner once in a while to give your stomach a rest .

By going to bed with the digestive function for dinner rested, it leads to improvement such as sluggishness and swelling,
For some people, the body will be reset and they will wake up feeling refreshed the next morning.

[Why amazake is recommended for short fasting at dinner]

Amazake, also known as a drinking drip, is easy to digest. 

Carbohydrates and proteins are decomposed into easily digestible substances such as glucose and amino acids, so they become nutrients for the body without putting a burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

In addition, since it contains dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, it has an intestinal regulation effect , so you can expect a detox effect that cleans your intestines while giving you a break from the work of your stomach and intestines.

Even if you say "Amazake fasting", the method is simple.
All you have to do is replace dinner with a glass of amazake.

If you are not sure if it is enough, you can drink it slowly like chewing, or mix it with your favorite milk such as soy milk or milk.

On days when you feel like you've missed dinner and your stomach feels heavy, how about making it a day of fasting with amazake?

 A reset day that takes care of your stomach and intestines will be an opportunity to restore your body's original condition.
