“I feel stressed and frustrated recently …”
“I can’t sleep well even though I’m tired …”
I think many people have such troubles. Those symptoms may be caused by “disturbance of the autonomic nervous system”.

What I would like to recommend to such people is “black garlic”. “Black garlic” is famous for its effects such as recovery from fatigue and improvement of immunity as health food, but in fact it can also be expected to correct the “autonomic nervous system”. In this article, we will introduce the impact of “black garlic” on autonomic nerves.

□ What is the autonomic nervous system?

The autonomic nerve is a nerve that controls important functions such as circulation, digestion and respiration in the body.
There are two types of autonomic nerve, “sympathetic” and “parasympathetic”.

Sympathetic

　・ Working becomes active during or during the day
　・ Many and control many organs

Parasympathetic nervous system

　・ Work becomes active at rest and at night
　・ Partial control of each organ

To keep the autonomic nerve normal, it is necessary to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.

□ About disturbance of autonomic nervous system

・ What causes autonomic nervous system disorder?

The Lord is said to be affected by lifestyle disruptions. Autonomic nerves are easily disturbed if you are living a reversed day-night life, not having enough sleep, lack of exercise, or a poor nutritional balance in your diet. In addition, big stress is a factor of disorder of the autonomic nerve.

・What happens if the autonomic nerve is disturbed

If your autonomic nervous system is disturbed, your physical and mental health will be impaired. It can cause dizziness, headache, nausea and stress.

□ Is black garlic effective for autonomic nerves?

The ingredients “Allicin” and “Scordin” contained in black garlic have the effect of stabilizing the autonomic nervous system. When you feel stress, your body’s vitamins are consumed in large amounts, and a lack of vitamins can make you even more frustrated or tired.

Allicin promotes energy production when it binds to B1 in the body. The energy generated warms the body, raises metabolism and promotes blood circulation. In addition, “scordin” has a function to prevent vitamin B1 from being consumed in the body.

□ Finally

This article has introduced the impact of black garlic on autonomic nerves. “Black garlic” works to stabilize the autonomic nervous system and to improve symptoms generated by the autonomic nervous system. I want to continue to take “black garlic” into my daily diet and stay healthy both physically and mentally.

Garlic is compatible with various dishes and is a frequently used food. However, since garlic is used in small quantities at one time, the surplus is stored in the refrigerator.

However, I thought that there were many people who had such an experience that “the color of garlic had been discolored …” when I was going to use it.

Garlic is said to have a strong antibacterial action and is hard to rot, but in fact it is very easy to discolor.

Garlic that has discolored to black or brown is often rotten, but garlic that has discolored to green can be eaten on health. However, even if you can eat it, the discolored garlic does not attract appetite.

I think that many people do not want to be discolored if it can be done. So, in this article, I will introduce how to prevent the discoloration of garlic.

□ What causes the discoloration of garlic?

In particular, grated garlic is said to be easily discolored to green. This is related to the ingredient called “Acilin” which is the cause of the peculiar smell and pungent contained in garlic.

“Allicin” becomes an “alkyl sulfide compound” with time, and when the “alkyl sulfide compound” oxidizes, it reacts with iron in garlic and turns green.
In other words, it does not mean that the color change is rotten.

□ How to prevent the discoloration of garlic?

The “preservation method” is a major point to prevent the discoloration of garlic. I think that grated garlic is often stored refrigerated, but when stored refrigerated, garlic is likely to discolor in a few days.

Therefore, the recommended method is “freeze storage” and “heat”.

・ About frozen storage

Frozen storage can prevent the oxidation of garlic. Therefore, garlic is less likely to discolor. In the case of freezing, it is said that cut garlic can be stored for about 2 months.

・ About heating

Heating garlic can prevent discoloration because “alicin”, which is the cause of discoloration, is decomposed.
In addition, heating also has the effect of reducing the distinctive smell and pungency of garlic. It is good to eat without worrying about smelling garlic.

□ Finally

In this article, we have introduced a method to prevent garlic discoloration. By using the method introduced this time, it is possible to preserve while maintaining the quality and efficacy of garlic.

Garlic can be expected to have effects such as blood circulation promotion and fatigue recovery, muscle strength up, skin care effect and diet, and it is recommended food for those who want to stay healthy forever. I would like to incorporate garlic into my diet based on the preservation method I introduced this time.

There are a lot of people who think, “Because garlic is good for health, I want to take it into the diet!”

However, when you buy garlic at the store, you will be wondering which garlic to choose from the variety and shape.

In fact, there are tips for choosing good garlic.
So in this article, we will introduce you to how to choose good garlic.

□ What is the point of how to choose good garlic?

·Appearance

It is recommended that the top of the garlic is squeezed, hard and not loose.

The thin layer is gathered in layers at the top of the garlic, so the thicker the layer, the harder and fresher it is.

Furthermore, a piece is white and a big thing is good.
Garlic changes from white to brown over time.
Therefore, white garlic is fresh.

Also, if garlic is discolored to dark brown or black, it may be rotten, so avoid it.

・ Touch condition

Hard, heavy garlic is recommended. Things that are soft or extremely light when touched are likely to have passed time since they were harvested.

If the water contained in the garlic is removed, the garlic will be light and soft.
As time goes on, the quality of garlic declines. In addition, when there is a touch and gloss, it is fresh.

・odor

Garlic is famous for its unique smell, but it has almost no odor when it is skinned and whole.
Sometimes, however, there are things that have a strong smell even in the whole state.

These are often infected or rotten. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid garlic that has an extremely strong odor.

・ Origin, time

Garlic is not only domestic but also many in China. Garlic from China is characterized by a strong taste and small pieces. On the other hand, domestic garlic has a good flavor and a large piece. Domestic garlic is higher than Chinese garlic, but the quality is said to be high.

In addition, garlic has a long shelf life and is easy to obtain all year round, but generally it is said that garlic season is from May to July. Garlic in the season is characterized by being fresh and fragrant.

□ Finally

In this article, we have introduced how to choose good garlic. Garlic is said to be effective for health just by incorporating a small amount into the diet.
When purchasing garlic, refer to “Points for selecting garlic” introduced here, and choose good garlic.

Garlic is famous as a natural food with many health effects. In addition, black garlic is changing its nutritional components by ripening the garlic.

There are a lot of powers to support health in the nutrient component of black garlic, but what is the component that is effective for “depression” among others?
And what kind of effect is it? Okazaki shop, a specialist in garlic, answers the questions.

□ What kind of illness is depression originally?

Depression is a heart disease that can be taken by anyone. In the modern society, it is said that one in 15 people will be taken, and it is said that there are more than 1 million patients in Japan if we know it now.

□ So why do you get depressed?

It is said that one of the causes is the lack of secretion of substances essential for balancing the mind, such as brain substance serotonin.

Everyone may feel depressed every day, but usually it usually recovers after one or two days. However, when it comes to depression, the feeling of depression continues for many weeks.

□ How can I get better?

If there is a possibility of depression due to a mental illness, it will be seen in psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine, but if it is diagnosed as depression, it will require medication and a slow rest for the time being.

But the nasty thing is that because depression is a mental illness, it doesn’t look like it at all, and once taken it is a very difficult illness to treat.

Therefore, it is necessary to prevent it in advance.

□ Preventive measures to prevent depression

Here, it is black garlic to be active. For depression prevention and improvement, a component called tryptophan is required.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and can not be produced in the body, so it is essential to supplement it with a diet.

Therefore, black garlic contains a large amount of tryptophan, which is ideal for prevention.
Tryptophan is also found in the white raw garlic before ripening.

However, I think that you want to ingest black garlic because it contains more nutrients because it has undergone the aging process.
In addition, black garlic also contains ingredients such as vitamin B6, which further enhances the activity of tryptophan.

Therefore, among the ingredients, black garlic can be said to be the most suitable food for preventing and improving depression.

□ Finally

Not only good for health, it is also very attractive that it is effective for depression.
At Okazakiya Co., Ltd., we produce fresh, high-quality garlic that is always made with a focus on soil quality and fertilizer in TakKomati, Aomori Prefecture, which boasts the largest garlic production area in Japan.

Okazakiya Co., Ltd. also sells online. Please enjoy it once by all means.

It has a very high nutritional value, and its effect is better than that of garlic before ripening, and it is black garlic that is good for health.

For black garlic
・ Effect of further blood
・ Fatigue recovery effect
・ Antibacterial effect that is effective for prevention such as cold
・ Anticancer effect

Do you have any concerns that the effects may vary depending on the timing of the medicine, as there are many effects?

However, because black garlic is a natural health food, it is not particularly affected by the timing of eating.

However, since there is a recommended way of eating although it says that it is not decided especially, I will introduce that there!

□ Recommended eating method of black garlic

1 | Morning that feels tired

Black garlic has the effect of relieving fatigue. Keep it in a bag so that it can be stored at any time when you are on the go or at home, because it can be stored without problems at normal temperature storage, or when you feel tired, put a piece of cake It is recommended that you eat it by pouring it into your mouth.

When it comes to feeling tired, speaking of nutritional drinks, it seems that everyone knows that many of them contain arginine as the main ingredient.

The arginine is abundantly contained in black garlic, and the amount is 3.5 times that of normal garlic.

Therefore, black garlic is a good food for fatigue recovery.
From these points, it may be effective to eat in the morning when you feel tired.

2 | Eat before going to bed to increase anti-cancer effect

The famous effect of black garlic is also an anti-cancer effect. The effect is said to be 10 times that of normal garlic.

So why is it that the anti-cancer effect is enhanced by taking it before going to bed?

In fact, due to the internal clock in our body, the movement of immune cells declines after 11 o’clock at night, so the immunity to bacteria has been reduced since then.

Therefore, if you eat at night, you won’t lose your immunity even while you go to bed. And some researchers are paying attention. However, I can not say this clearly because I am still in the research stage, but it may be better to try it!

Above all, I took up the timing of “morning not feeling tired” and “night with high anti-cancer effect” and talked about the time to eat effectively, but how was it? At Okazakiya Co., Ltd., we produce fresh, high-quality garlic that is always made with a focus on soil quality and fertilizer in Takocho, Aomori Prefecture, which boasts the largest garlic production area in Japan.

Okazakiya Co., Ltd. also sells online. Please enjoy it once by all means.

It is famous for its high nutritional value, effective for health, and the best food for stamina.
As a matter of fact, garlic is effective in preventing fatigue in the summer, illnesses such as colds, depression prevention and diet effects.
Such nourishing garlic, are there any points to buy?

This time, Okazaki, who specializes in garlic, will tell you how to choose garlic.

□ How to choose the right garlic?

First of all, there is no doubt that
・ Grain is large
・ Hard and tight
Two points that.

Light things should be avoided as they are likely to be dry or not full.

Also, if there is a gap between the contents and the outer skin, it is likely that the time has passed since harvest and the water has fallen.

And, there are rare cases where garlic with strong odor is mixed, but this is also eaten by insects and smell is generated due to stimulation occurring, so garlic with strong odor at the time of purchase was avoided You can say that it is better.

Furthermore, one more point I want to know is the production area. Garlic is sold not only domestic products but also many from China and Spain, and the price range is cheaper for foreign products, but in the case of foreign products, the flavor may be thinner than domestic products, and nutritional components may also be included. Many are low and not recommended.

However, many domestic products are made with quality in mind, and in particular, the garlic from Tago produced in Aomori Prefecture is made especially with regard to soil and fertilizer, making it one of the leading garlics in Japan. It is famous.

□ When is the season of garlic season?

Garlic has excellent shelf life and is sold all year round, but the season is from May to July.
It is made in Aomori Prefecture, where 70% of the garlic production volume was mentioned earlier, and the most harvest time is early summer.

□ How to save garlic

Garlic germinates at a temperature of around 20 ° C, a place with humidity and sunlight. So it can be said that it is the time when sprouting is most likely to occur in the spring / autumn climate.

For long-term storage of used garlic and fresh garlic, a refrigerator is recommended.

If the garlic is in a non-skinned condition, wrap it in a newspaper and put it in the refrigerator. If it is over-used, leave it in a peeled state and wrap it in a wrap or seal it with a zippered bag.

□ Finally

Allicin is a unique garlic odor that comes out of the mouth when eating garlic.

Allicin is a component which is produced by decomposition of the odor-free component “Alliin” by enzymes, so it is a component that is not present in garlic in the form of uncooked balls.

Well, this allicin. It is not that kind of thing that only smells, it plays the role of proper nutrients.

□ About the smell of allicin

Allicin’s unique garlic odor is generated as a strong odor when alliin is released from the cells that were destroyed by cutting or cutting with a knife and the alinase undergoes a chemical change.

The enzyme alinase degrades odorless alliin. Then, by combining the two, it changes chemically to allicin with a pungent odor.

Also, because this chemical change is an enzyme group included in the Allium plants, it happens not only in garlic but also when cutting onions of the same Allium plant.

□ Characteristics of black garlic

In the case of aged black garlic, the enzyme Alinase, which is weak to heat during aging, is drastically reduced by aging.

In other words, the generation of allicin is also suppressed, and the garlic odor is drastically reduced. However, even if the components such as alliin and allinase decrease sharply, the nutrients contained in garlic itself do not change, but it is a feature of black garlic that increases rather.

This is because various nutrients are combined in the process of ripening and nutrients are increased by the occurrence of chemical reactions.

□ Effect of black garlic

Black garlic has the effect of making the skin smooth. This is because the polyphenols that are antioxidants are strengthened and increased in the process of becoming garlic, and the increase rate is said to be 10 times. It is believed to be due to a stronger role in preventing cellular senescence in the body.

In addition, it contains a large amount of the component S-allylcysteine that promotes blood flow, contains as many as nine kinds of amino acids and methylallyl trisulfide essential to the human body, and is high in protein, It contains moderate carbohydrates, and contains sodium, vitamin B1, phosphorus, ajoen scolnidine, melanoidin, and many other nutrients necessary for health.

□ Finally

Black garlic with so much nutrition.
Okazakiya Co., Ltd. is always offering fresh Aomori garlic from the soil. You can also buy from the internet, so please be sure to try Okazaki’s garlic once.

It has many health benefits, but it is
The effect is largely divided

・ Effect of further blood
・ Fatigue recovery effect
・ Bactericidal effect
・ Anticancer effect
There are four effects such as.

In addition, black garlic made by further ripening garlic with so many effects contains about 16 times the antioxidant power, about 10 times polyphenols, and several tens of kinds of amino acids compared to garlic before ripening. It is said that .

In addition, S-allyl stain, which is hardly contained in ordinary garlic, contains many components effective for anti-cancer, anti-oxidation and anti-aging functions, so it is essential for good health. It’s a good food.

By the way, black garlic rich in such health ingredients is actually a diet effect.

□ Dietary effect of black garlic

Garlic has the effect of promoting combustion, in addition to the power to keep fat from accumulating.
The effect is the same as capsaicin contained in pepper.

Capsaicin contained in peppers and the like secretes adrenaline from the organ called the adrenal gland, but in garlic, the sympathetic nerve is stimulated and its effect on the body as a source of health is very large.

I often hear, “If you eat garlic, you get power!” This is the ability to stimulate garlic’s sympathetic nerves, as we mentioned earlier, and adrenaline is secreted. Because of that, it is the translation that “motivation” and “giving” come to mind.

□ It is difficult to get fat due to the effect of garlic, and it is easy to lose weight

Did you know that brown fat cells have attracted attention in recent years? The effect of brown fat cells is to “burn more and burn as energy without accumulating fat”, but it is also found to be effective for dieting, and recently it has attracted considerable attention.

This ability to increase brown fat cells is provided in garlic, and it can be expected to be effective in reducing the tendency to lose weight and lose weight.

□ Promote protein digestion and absorption!

Garlic has another great diet effect.
It has the effect of promoting protein digestion and absorption.

By firmly digesting and absorbing protein, the amount of muscle increases. And by increasing the amount of muscles, the body’s basic metabolism improves. It promotes efficient burning of fat.

□ Black garlic rich in fat-burning amino acids!

We have mentioned a lot of effects that are optimal for dieting, but at the end we will introduce the amino acids that black garlic has.

The amount of amino acids in black garlic is several to several 10 times that of garlic.

Black garlic is also rich in amino acids that burn fat. These rich amino acids not only make the body easy to lose weight, but also effective for maintaining the body that is hard to rebound.

□ Finally

Black garlic is an effective ingredient for dieting.
At Okazakiya Co., Ltd., we deliver fresh, high-quality black garlic, which is always made with a focus on soil quality and fertilizer in Takkomati, Aomori Prefecture, which boasts the largest garlic production area in Japan.

Black garlic refers to garlic that is white garlic aged for about one month in a hot and humid place. In addition to further amplification of many nutrients such as amino acids and polyphenols originally possessed by garlic by aging, there are also many nutrients newly generated by aging, which may be said to be a naturally occurring health food .

In addition, aging brings about the distinctive odor of garlic, but it does not feel like it remains in the tongue or throat, and the distinctive garlic odor that is of concern after eating garlic is hardly felt.

Such black garlic has many nutrients, so this time we will introduce five elements that are particularly effective and their effects!

□ 5 elements that are highly effective

·Polyphenol

Polyphenol which is a component of bitter taste and pigment. Polyphenols have the same strong antioxidant action as vitamin C and vitamin E.
Its strong antioxidative effect has the effect of converting harmful substances such as active oxygen into harmless substances, which helps prevent lifestyle-related diseases such as arteriosclerosis.

· Arginine

Arginine works to attack bacteria that invade from the outside and cancer cells that occur inside, so it is effective in improving immunity and recovering from fatigue.

In addition, arginine is one of the amino acids that can be produced in the human body, but it has been found that a sufficient amount is not produced in childhood and after the 40s. Active intake with supplements is desirable, and black garlic is the best.

・ Aspartic acid

Aspartic acid is a nutrient with many effects, but it is particularly effective in relieving fatigue.
By acting on the citric acid circuit, it works to accelerate the decomposition of lactic acid that causes fatigue, so it has a recovery effect on fatigue.

・ Alanine

Alanine is said to be particularly effective at maintaining stamina. People who play sports that require endurance are among the ingredients that they want to consume actively, as they maintain stamina that can endure long-term exercise while suppressing muscle fatigue.

・ S-allylcysteine

S-allylcysteine is a component that is only contained in garlic and is very effective. S-allylcysteine has the function and effect of returning the activity of weak natural killer cells (cells that detect and attack or eliminate dangerous parts such as cancer cells in the body) to normal.

□ Finally

Black garlic contains many nutrients that are effective. At Okazakiya Co., Ltd., we produce fresh, high-quality garlic that is always made with a focus on soil quality and fertilizer in Takkomati, Aomori Prefecture, which boasts the largest garlic production area in Japan.
Okazakiya Co., Ltd. also sells online. Please enjoy it once by all means.

It is convenient for cooking and gives good taste, and often used for hidden taste, garlic. For those who want to put on stamina, they take fatigue and get well.

Garlic is just well-ventilated, it is a long-lasting food that can be stored for about a month just by leaving it in a dry place, but we will introduce it because there are other convenient and clever storage methods!

□ When storing in the refrigerator

The procedure for storing garlic in a refrigerator first wraps the garlic in newspaper to prevent excess moisture causing mold. And next is smell measures.
Store in the vegetable room after placing in a sealable bag such as a plastic bag that will prevent odor sticking so that the unique smell of garlic does not stick to the other food in the refrigerator or the refrigerator body.

The storage period for refrigerated storage is about 1.5 to 2 months. Make a note of the saved date so that you do not forget it.

□ Preserved with garlic olive oil

Garlic olive oil can be used in a versatile way that can save time and effort during cooking and can adjust the flavor of garlic even after cooking. If you buy a commercial item, it will be reasonably priced, but in fact, you can easily arrange it even at home.

How to make, just peel the garlic and put in olive oil, put your nails and so on together to add hotness, and the arrangement is endless. It is recommended that you use the garlic olive oil that you make for cooking, as well as pasta and toasting.

The preservation period of garlic olive oil is about one month. If you create it at home, you can not store it in a vacuum state like a store, so the period of time it can be preserved in a delicious and fresh state is about one month, considering the time until the olive oil is oxidized.

□ Frozen storage

It is frozen storage that I would recommend as the longest storage method. In refrigerated storage, it is convenient to store in sliced or grated condition.

However, once thawed, the garlic fiber will be destroyed and the flavor and freshness will be lost unless it is used up, so avoid refreezing after thawing.

□ Finally

This time, we introduced how to save garlic.

Frozen storage in terms of long-term storage. For convenience, garlic olive oil. When using for subdivision, it is good at normal temperature preservation and refrigeration preservation.

Okazakiya Co., Ltd. offers fresh garlic anytime. Please enjoy the Okazakiya garlic once by all means.
