  • Low Residue, Low Fibre Diet Jan 16
    Low residue / low fibre diet Department of Nutrition and Dietetics 01935 384 250 yeovilhospital.nhs.uk You have been advised to follow a low residue/fibre diet. This leaflet will help you to manage your current symptoms. This diet sheet will help you to reduce the amount of residue/ fibre in your diet. How long will I need to be on a low residue diet? You will normally follow this diet for about two to three weeks, then after, fibre is gradually re-introduced. If you follow this diet for a longer period, this should be done under the supervision or advice of a dietitian or doctor. What is residue? Residue is the undigested food that reaches your bowel. This is mostly fibre, but also includes other food like charred foods, some fats and foods containing resistant starch; a form of starch resistant to digestion. What is fibre? Fibre, often referred to as roughage, is found naturally in many plant foods. It is the indigestible part of plant foods that is left after the other nutrients have been digested and absorbed. Some plant foods that contain fibre are: Fruit, vegetables, pulses, nuts and seeds, wholegrain cereals, brown rice, potato skin, wholewheat pasta and wholemeal flour Different types of fibre There are many terms used to categorise fibre but the two main and important ones are insoluble and soluble fibre. Understanding the difference between these two types of fibre will help you understand and follow the low residue diet. There are two main components: Insoluble fibre tends to be go through the digestive system unchanged and does not dissolve in water.

  • Report Name:Utilization of Food-Grade Soybeans in Japan
    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: March 24, 2021 Report Number: JA2021-0040 Report Name: Utilization of Food-Grade Soybeans in Japan Country: Japan Post: Tokyo Report Category: Oilseeds and Products Prepared By: Daisuke Sasatani Approved By: Mariya Rakhovskaya Report Highlights: This report provides an overview of food-grade soybean use and market trends in Japan. Manufacturing requirements for traditional Japanese foods (e.g. tofu, natto, miso, soy sauce, simmered soybean) largely determine characteristics of domestic and imported food-grade soybean varieties consumed in Japan. Food-Grade Soybeans THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Soybeans (Glycine max) can be classified into two distinct categories based on use: (i) food-grade, primarily used for direct human consumption and (ii) feed-grade, primarily used for crushing and animal feed. In comparison to feed-grade soybeans, food-grade soybeans used in Japan have a higher protein and sugar content, typically lower yield and are not genetically engineered (GE). Japan is a key importer of both feed-grade and food-grade soybeans (2020 Japan Oilseeds Annual). History of food soy in Japan Following introduction of soybeans from China, the legume became a staple of the Japanese diet. By the 12th century, the Japanese widely cultivate soybeans, a key protein source in the traditional largely meat-free Buddhist diet. Soybean products continue to be a fundamental component of the Japanese diet even as Japan’s consumption of animal products has dramatically increased over the past century. During the last 40 years, soy products have steadily represented approximately 10 percent (8.7 grams per day per capita) of the overall daily protein intake in Japan (Figure 1).

  • Yakult CSR Communication Book 2019 the Passion That Lives on in the Yakult Group
    Yakult CSR Communication Book 2019 The passion that lives on in the Yakult Group Yakult’s founder, Minoru Shirota, a Doctor of Medicine, began his medical studies in 1921 at Kyoto Imperial University (now Kyoto University). At the time, Japan had yet to achieve economic prosperity, and unsanitary conditions caused large numbers of children to die of infectious diseases. Disturbed by that reality, Dr. Shirota, while still a medical student, set his sights on the field of preventive medicine, which aims to help people avoid sickness rather than treating diseases after they occur, and started down the path of microorganism research. In his research, Dr. Shirota discovered that lactic acid bacteria were effective in suppressing harmful bacteria within the intestines. He later became the first to successfully strengthen and culture a strain of lactic acid bacteria, which is now known as Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota. Dr. Shirota, together with volunteers, then developed an inexpensive, good-tasting beverage, so that as many people as possible could benefit from Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota, which reaches the intestines alive and promotes intestinal health. That is how the Yakult fermented milk drink was born in 1935. Dr. Shirota dedicated himself to helping protect the health of people throughout the world. His passion, ideas and relentless spirit of inquiry live on today.
