Wadaya No Gohan (Wada’s Food) Making Body and Soul to Win Cancer!

Posted on by sonokotchi

Dr. Wada is teaching us how to prevent making and growing cancer.

Our daily life and eating habit creates cancer; on the other hand, we can also prevent making or growing greatly if we change our eating habit.

Cancer needs sugar/glucose to become cancer.

I should not overtake sugar and carbohydrate such as white rice, breads, pasta, etc.

Salts will give energy to cancer.

I should take less salts to reduce activities of cancer.

I should cut daily products such as milk, cheeses, yogurt, butter, etc. because it will grow cancer.

I should take good quality oil, omega 3 oil such as linseed oil, perilla oil, etc. and omega 9 such as olive oil.

To reduce salt, Dr. Wada advises to use dashi (umami: soup stock of konbu (seaweed) and katsuobushi (fish flakes) for cooking.

I will take his advice to change my eating habit to make my body and soul to prevent cancer.

I know it’s not easy because I love to eat and these delicious food is the one I should stop eating. Ahhhhhh

Gym before Office

Posted on by sonokotchi

A while ago, I was frustrated, building negative emotion, because of co-workers.

I knew exercise will release stress.

However, in the evening, I have other things to settle.

These could be simple as visiting dentist, having dinner with friends, etc.

Once I reach home, I get lazy to go out for exercise.

One day, my physical therapist suggested to go to gym for simple exercise, riding on bicycle for 20 mins, in the morning before I go to office.

My nearest gym opens at 7:00 am.

It’s rushing and need to move quickly to save every minutes; but based on my calculation, I could manage.

I tried it the other day and it worked.

I’ve been coming to gym for two weeks.

Today, I simply feel good (no stress), being at the quiet gym and gaining more ENERGY for a day!

Unwinding Saturday

Posted on by sonokotchi

I went to shopping in Ginza and had Ichiran Ramen for lunch quickly with my friend; then sent her to Haneda Airport.

It was short, but I’m glad we spent some time together.

She gave me many early Christmas gift.


Her honey products. I love her high quality honey.


From Hyatt. hahaha


And so sweet of her, she even bought a Christmas gift for me.

Thank you for your thoughts!


When I reached home, I quickly called my physical therapist to unwind me.

Luckily, he was available.

I fell sleep while his treatment and it was a deep sleep that I immediately felt fresh!

Miscalculation 

Posted on by sonokotchi

Ahhhhhh

I miscalculated.

I’ve been exercising so I thought I can eat bit more; I’ve been eating out to escape from the office to get fresh.

However, I didn’t understand calories and I’ve been miscalculating.

Now I’m thinking over my diet because I’ve gained weight, though I exercise.

I finally cooked and checked calories for what I ate today…it’s over calories…

I brought lunch so I thought I saved calories to eat cookies (it was additional 200 calories).


This was my dinner (I need to consider menu to look photogenic. ahaha).


I added natto (fermented soy beans).

 

With these simple food, my total calory for a day is still over about 400 calories.

Hummm I’m taking few days off to go to Disney Tokyo from tommorrow.


I’m going to stay there to enjoy food, too…

I’ll be more careful on ordinary days so that I can enjoy special occasion like tomorrow.

HFriday, Saturday and Sunday

Posted on by sonokotchi

On Thursday, after arranging flower, I stayed up late busily cleaning up my room because Mom wanted to stay over night on Friday after her visit to the dentist.

Out dentist is walking distance from my place.

Mom was already at my room when I got home.

Mom brought her homemade food; it’s always nice.

We were both tired coz Mom was busy cooking and I was busy cleaning so we went to bed early.

Next day, after lunch, Mom went back home.


I went to hair salon and grocery shopping.

I wasn’t keen to cook these days; but I should care what I eat.

To escape from the office, I’ve been eating out for lunch.

In addition, I went out for dinner…meaning I’ve eating too much.

On Sunday, suddenly I care my food; trying to be healthy.

The drink is special: it’s mixture of tomato juice and daikon (Japanese radish) juice.

Daikon helps detoxing.

My friend who has food allergy taught me this.


Today, I went back to Akihabara to pick up a housing for GoPro Hero 6 that I ordered.

It will enable to go down deep as 60 m. Wow.


Well, I had to return to Akihabara for more important matter.

I needed to request for exchange of GoPro because it doesn’t get charged…

I got a new one and the sales staff checked the camera before handed it over to me.

Now it works!


I cooked dinner to  e healthy.


I had persimmon for dessert; this year, I just love persimmons!

Halloween Night

Posted on by sonokotchi

My dinner appointment got cancelled at the last minutes.

I decide to go for Magma Spa (stone spa) to detox my skin.

Recently, I have some skin problem; I suspect it is caused by lack of sweat to clean my pores.


After nice Magma Spa for 80 mins, I decide to walk back home to cool down.


The Spa is located at Marunouchi Financial District, Tokyo.

Marunouchi is also the place for shopping.

It’s nice to window shop at night!!!


Walking through Hibiya area – another shopping and dining area, Tokyo.


Akasaka, Tokyo.


In Roppongi, there are many people marching in costumes.

I want to take some photos of them, but there are many people and even interviewers to take photos of them!

hahaha

I my case, my Halloween night is very healthy; hopefully, you’ll have some fun on Halloween! 

Trick or Treat!

Buying Two New Pair of Black Shoes at ASICS WALKING at EXIT MELSA 3F., Ginza, Tokyo

Posted on by sonokotchi

I posted how I love ASICS WALKNG shoes before because its shoe sole is so soft and it has nice cushions to protect my knees.

I cannot wear other than ASICS WALKING shoes now.

It’s so comfortable!

Mom likes it, too.

I wore a black pair on Sunday.

Mom tried my shoes and she likes it very much because it fits her nicely.

She asked me to leave the pair for her.

Logically, it’s possible because we are biologically same: mother and daughter.

Tonight, I went to a new location of Ginza Store:  EXIT MELSA 3rd Floor, Ginza, Tokyo, to buy a pair of black shoes.

I requested to measure my both feet to place cushions according to shape of my foot. 

Instead of one, I bought two pairs. hahaha

Ordinary Monday

Posted on by sonokotchi

I anticipated heavy rain at the time of commuting due to Typhoon 21; but there was no rain, just cloudy.

My subway was working okay with a slight delay on schedule.

My morning was peaceful because my boss is taking a week off.

Nowadays, I go out for lunch to get fresh air.

I had an Ankake Udon (a thick starchy noodle) at Seigetsudo Sabo (Seigetsudo Cafe), Ginza, Tokyo.

This restaurant/cafe is operated by Japanese traditional confectionery maker; the udon is Kyoto style and has delicate taste.

The place is quiet and I enjoyed quiet moment for a while.


After work, I went to gym.

It’s a quiet Monday after Typhoon.
