Help you improve your immunity🌟Okinawa brown sugar

In order to strengthen the body's immunity against viruses, it is important to keep the immune system functioning properly, so take in relevant nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. Why not try adding Okinawa brown sugar, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and easy to use, into our daily diet!

Nutritional value of Okinawa brown sugar

Brown sugar is made from sugar cane, a tropical plant. Brown sugar is obtained by squeezing the juice from sugar cane and then boiling it to harden it. Okinawa Prefecture produces the largest amount of brown sugar in Japan. There is no processing involved in making Okinawa brown sugar, and only sugar cane grown in Okinawa is used. This Okinawa brown sugar, cooked using traditional methods, is a pure, fragrant sugar.

Sugar, which we often use in cooking, drinks and snacks in our daily lives, has different nutritional contents depending on the type.

As you can see from the table above, Okinawa brown sugar is clearly higher in vitamins and minerals than other refined sugars. Today, people are not getting enough vitamins and minerals. However, these two nutrients are important nutrients that keep the immune system functioning properly, allowing people to fight against the invasion of bacteria and viruses. Lack of vitamins and minerals can lead to reduced immunity, impaired cell function, and reduced resistance to viruses. In order to get more vitamins and minerals, try using Okinawa brown sugar instead of the sugar you use in your daily life!

​A survey (see Figure ①) pointed out that the younger generation in Japan do not consume enough nutrients in their daily lives. I believe this is a common problem in the world today. Insufficient nutrients can make people prone to feeling tired, feeling unwell, fatigued, and experiencing dry skin, among other problems that are not caused by disease. At the same time, during the novel coronavirus epidemic, many people are going out less, resulting in more people spending more time at home, eating more often at home, and cooking more meals at home. (See Table ②) Therefore, I hope you will develop healthy eating habits and live a healthy life.

How to eat

A simple way to consume it is to add Okinawa brown sugar to drinks such as coffee or black tea, or add it to dishes, so that you can easily absorb vitamins and minerals. When you feel tired at work or study and have difficulty concentrating, you can try eating Okinawa brown sugar like chocolate or candy. The sugar in Okinawa brown sugar can be broken down quickly, and it also contains vitamin B1 and niacin that are necessary in the process of converting into energy, so Okinawa brown sugar is a powerful ally when you feel tired.

Simply consuming enough vitamins and minerals is not enough to improve immunity. You must have a balanced diet, including protein and fat, in order to develop a body that will not lose to the epidemic. In addition, both undernutrition and overnutrition are bad for the body, so strive to maintain a healthy body.
