Professional advice! “Healthy and food-saving diet”

Due to the weak yen and soaring raw material prices, the prices of 833 food and beverage items were raised in November as well. If this continues, the burden on household budgets will likely increase.

(Established by the Agricultural Products Distribution Division, Iwate Prefecture Agricultural Administration Department), we conducted an awareness survey on “food expenses” for 998 women nationwide who have children aged 20 to 60.

Rice teacher Yukiyo Kashiwabara gives advice on “a healthy diet that is highly effective in saving food costs”
Looking at the awareness survey this time, it seems that many people feel the impact on their household finances due to the continuing increase in food prices. In the household budget, food costs are a large variable cost, so you want to keep them as low as possible. However, daily eating habits have a big impact on health, and wrong savings can actually increase unnecessary expenses. It is important for family health and harmony that the daily dining table is delicious and satisfying.
Therefore, we will advise you on a “healthy and cost-saving diet” that will not be defeated by the price increases of food that you do not know how long it will last.
●General eating habits tend to be costly
“In general, most of the food expenses are on the side dishes.” If you try to prepare many side dishes, not only will it take time and effort to cook, but the utility bills will increase accordingly, which may lead to food loss. If you increase the number of items by using ready-made seasonings and processed foods such as ○○ no Moto, or buying side dishes, the frequency of using convenient items will increase, and the cost will rise further.
On the other hand, noodles such as bread, pasta, ramen, and udon can be eaten easily without side dishes, but the cost per serving tends to be relatively high, and the cost per serving tends to be relatively high. I feel sick.
●Aren’t you saving money that has an adverse effect on your health by lowering the quality?
41.6% of the respondents answered that they “buy mainly cheap items such as those that are discounted” and “buy the same items at a lower price than before” regarding their awareness of food expenses. The nutritional value of vegetables and fruits declines in proportion to their freshness, while the quality of meat, seafood, eggs, etc. declines and safety issues arise. If you change the seasoning to a cheaper one, the umami will be reduced, and the amount used may increase, and the type and amount of additives may increase, so be careful.
Also, buying in bulk is not recommended, as it can lead to food loss if you can’t eat it all or the expiration date has passed.
“Refraining from eating out and eating out,” which was said by many to be effective in saving money on food, may make it difficult to get a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment, so try to enjoy yourself in moderation.
●Recommendation for “rice life”
A typical modern meal often has a ratio of 3 rice to 7 side dishes. If you change this to “Rice 6: Side dish 4”, which reduces the number of side dishes and increases the amount of rice, you can lead a diet that is highly effective in saving food costs while raising your health level. When the number of side dishes is reduced, not only food costs but also seasoning and utility costs are reduced. Rice has not been affected by recent price hikes, and it is a cheap and satisfying food item (*1). I can.

In addition, rice contains proteins, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, etc., which are essential for a healthy life. It has the effect of In other words, if you live on rice, you can reduce unnecessary expenses (medicine, supplements, cosmetics, massage fees, etc.) that were spent to improve your physical condition. Maybe you can make tens of thousands of dollars in a month.
　The recommended “rice life” is to raise the quality of high-grade ingredients such as rice and miso. This will make your food taste better and make you feel more satisfied.
