Dr. Keiko Amano, a renowned physician who established the first gender-specific clinics for women in Japan, drinks this 'salt-free vegetable soup' every day. Dr. Amano began drinking this soup after being told at age 75 that her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were high during a checkup. Since then, her hypertension and hyperglycemia have significantly improved, and her health metrics have stabilized. For the past seven years, powered by this soup, she continues to commute by train and bus to see patients every day, even now at age 83.
Despite turning 83 recently, Dr. Amano still walks 10 minutes to the nearest station and takes a train and bus to work. She remains dedicated to facing her patients daily. Being salt-free makes it easy to start a low-sodium lifestyle, and it provides an easy way to ingest plenty of potassium, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. She not only drinks it herself but also recommends it to her patients. This book compiles 23 'longevity vegetable soup' recipes along with easy-to-understand nutritional explanations and health tips from Dr. Amano.
The preparation is simple: just chop the vegetables and simmer them in water. The richness and sweetness of the vegetables dissolve into a deep, delicious broth. Readers have expressed their gratitude, saying, 'My blood pressure stabilized after I started the soup,' and 'I'm 86 and my blood pressure dropped from 146 to the 110-128 range.'
