Eat well to prevent summer fatigue!
uring
Not hot dcooking

Microwave pork shabushabu salad#Vitamin B1#Protein#Refreshing#1/3 daily allowance of vegetables#Prevent heat stroke◎ Meals during the summer are often heavy in carbohydrates such as
noodles, and low in Vitamin B1.
In cases of Vitamin B1 deﬁciency, feelings of tiredness and fatigue aresaid to easily occur.
Foods high in Vitamin B1 include pork, soy products, and green
vegetables.
In addition, Vitamin B1 is water soluble and is discharged in urine. As
a result it must be taken frequently at each meal.
During this season, when even standing in the kitchen is too
hot,.cooking with the microwave is recommended. Microwave
cooking will not make the kitchen hot, thus reducing physical burden.
Let's eat well and get through the summer in good spirits.

Ingredients (for two persons)● Pork (boneless rib, sliced

for shabushabu) (200 g)● 1 bag of bean sprouts (200 g)● 1/2 bag of pea sprouts (50g)● Sake for cooking 1 Tbs● Baby green spring onion

shoots, as desired★Dipping sauce
Ponzu, mentsuyu, dressing,etc., to taste

How to cook
❶ Place pork and water in a heatproof container, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and microwave.
(approx. 7 minutes at 600w; 8 minutes at 500w)❷ Shred the cooked pork with chopsticks, place the pork on a plate lined with a paper towel and drain.
❸ Cut the bean sprouts and pea sprouts in half length and arrange on a baking dish. drizzle with sake,loosely cover with plastic wrap and microwave. (approx. 3 minutes at 600w, 4 minutes at 500w)❹ Arrange the pork, bean sprouts and bean sprouts on a plate and sprinkle with baby green onions, if
desired.
*Microwave heating time varies depending on the microwave model and type of heat-resistant container.
Make sure the pork is well-cooked before serving.
*Use care when cooks as the container will be very hot after microwaving.

Prevent Frailty!
Summer dehydration is a real danger
Elderly persons with frailty should exercise care
When the body and mind deteriorate, and social connections weaken, it is called frailty.
By preventing frailty, one can lengthen the time one is healthy.
Tomoki Tanaka, Institute of Gerontology, The University of Tokyo

There is a set of three important countermeasures for frailty in elderly persons,"Eat (nutrition)," "Move (physical activities)," and "Be involved (social
participation)." In summer, our appetite may decrease and we may neglect todrink water while being preoccupied with work or other activities, leading todehydration due to a lack of water. Severe dehydration is very dangerous.
Most water in the body is stored in muscle tissue. As muscle mass in elderly
persons decreases, water in their body also decreases at a faster rate than thatfor young people, and can reach up to approx. 50% of a person's body weight.
Since the muscle mass in elderly persons with advanced frailty is reduced,
water in their body is also reduced, and they are more susceptible todehydration.
Moreover, when elderly persons lose appetite and eat less, the risk of frailty anddehydration also increase as water intake from food decreases.
Consequently, the most important way to prevent dehydration is frequent water
intake.
The recommended daily ﬂuid intake is 2 liters with food and drink. About 1 literof this should be from beverages.

1 literMeals

2 liters
per day

1 liter

Drinking water

When drinking a sports drink or a beverage containing salt on a regular basis,
especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease, etc.,
please consult with your physician.
In addition, in cases of inﬂammation or sudden increase in the use of the toilet,
please consult with your physician.
Dehydration and heat stroke can be prevented. Please practice these.

Be prepared for a typhoon!
If you leave your personal items on the balcony, they may be blown
away by strong wind and break a glass door, etc., so please placethem inside your room.
Moreover, if the drain outlet in the balcony is clogged, water will not
ﬂow out, so please regularly remove any trash, etc. from the outlet.
If rainwater leaks inside from the sash, please use fabric andplastics to prevent a ﬂood.

Preparation for disaster,
etc. is described on the
JKK Tokyo website.
