May 15, 2024 Cellular Rejuvenation: May "Food and Medicine Recipes" by herbal pharmacist Ai Okubo
May is a month where, after a long holiday, people tend to be less sensitive to fatigue and stress, and let their guard down. You might experience stiff muscles here and there, or sluggish digestive system. For this period when such ailments tend to surface, herbal pharmacist Ai Okubo introduces "medicinal food recipes." This month's key ingredient is broad beans. The renchin and dietary fiber found in broad beans, which enhance liver function, promote detoxification. They are also rich in protein, B vitamins, and vitamin C, making them effective for fatigue recovery!
Broad beans, which can be easily prepped in the microwave, are versatile vegetables that can be used in many ways! This month's two dishes are "Easy Broad Bean Soy Milk Potage," a strong ally against constipation and skin problems, and "Broad Bean and Salmon Tortilla," which can easily alleviate discomfort. Let's overcome May, a month when ailments tend to persist!
We look forward to your feedback and Instagram posts.
