      I love this content. A normal day rather than a curated one for the camera is much more enjoyable. I wish that I was in the habit of eating like you, it seems so nourishing for the body and spirit. And I really appreciate you showing so many vegan dishes?

      @@mariakern6793 I’ve never come across soy sauce that still contains alcohol. However, one thing that comes to mind is that men-tsuyu (noodle soup base) contains mirin, and mirin does have alcohol in it. Could that be what you’re referring to? In most cases, the alcohol in the mirin used in men-tsuyu is cooked off.

    I’ve been doing Japanese style of eating for a week. I ❤ it! I feel satisfied, energized and healthy. Now my mind is always trying to figure out the sides! I got some small dishes and they’ve inspired me to really be artistic when plating the food! I don’t want to read or watch tv while eating anymore because I put so much effort into the aesthetics of the meal, I want to focus on it and enjoy it.
    A couple of times, I’ve eaten in my old less healthy habits, but it’s a big, healthy, happy shift. Thank you!

      When I was in my twenties, I had the least confidence in myself. I was constantly comparing myself to others and always wished I could be like the beautiful people I saw. I focused only on my appearance. But now, in my late thirties, I’ve stopped worrying so much-in a good way. Of course, there are still things I want to change, but I’ve learned to appreciate and accept the effort I put in every day.
      That day will come for you too. But before you get there, enjoy your twenties to the fullest!

      Since you're already here reading my comments (thanks).
      I wrote a few questions before for the gut health expert but I accidentally left the page before sending and they got deleted, so here's a few of them.
      Will salt fermenting different vegetables give enough bacterial diversity, or exploring different types of fermentation important?
      And other than salt and koji fermentations, what are other types of fermentation can we do at home?
      Other than consuming probiotic foods, what is / are the most important factors (/things we should do or avoid) for good gut health?

    Don't worry about how you look early morning. I turned 40 last August and sleep with my hair up in a bun and I often look as if I slept through a typhone 😅 I used to do yoga just at home and would love to get back doing this but first I need to deal with some health issues and it's very busy here with my daughter being in her last year of elementary school. So that will come back later. I try to walk every day just ro get out of the house. Though with househokd chores and having 2 stairs in my house I get a lot of walking in that way.
    Did you know you can really easy make saurkraut at home? It's a fermented cabbage with just cabbage and salt. It's so easy especially in winter when te temperatures in the home are cooler. It's a lacto ferment. You can use things like cucumbers and peppers for it as well.

    About gut health. As you mentioned eczema in childhood, and also increased skin sensitivity, the chances are you have a special hormonal metabolism in direction of Neurodermitis, that also hangs very much with gut and digestion together. That is what you should ask the specialist for your personal situation.
