“Different nutrients in different food are helping each other in our body to give us more power and energy too. They Synergise for us. Synergy is one of the laws of the nature.“
To get “A good Balance of Nutrient Food”, first we have to know what nutrients we need to have everyday.
These seven nutrients are the important nutrients I found we need to have everyday.
1, Protein
2, Vitamins
3, Minerals
4, Fiber
5, Carbs
6, Good Fat
7, Probiotics
Try to have those nutrients with balance in every meal.
It’s best if you can get all of them in every meal.
If that is hard, try to get 1 to 5 in every meal, and try to get at least once a day for 6 and 7.
I wrote briefly, about what foods have those nutrients.
1, Protein
Fish, Chicken, Red meat , Eggs, Beans
2, Vitamins
Veggies, Fruits, Nuts
3, Minerals
Nuts, Beans, Veggies, Fruits, Fish, Shellfish, Seaweeds , Yogurt
4, Fiber
Veggies, Fruits
5, Carbs
Rice, Bread, Pasta, Noodles
6, Good Fat
Nuts, Avocado, Fish, Olive oil
7, Probiotics
Yogurt, Kimchi, Natto, Miso, Pickles
Most food has got a little bit of other nutrients too.
For example, Chicken, Red meat, Eggs, and fish are protein food but they have some vitamins and minerals. Some Vegetables have protein too. Rice and Bread have protein and Fiber too. Vegetables and Fruits have Carbs.
But they are not enough to have a good balance alone.
There is no super food which you can rely on just by itself.
Different nutrients in different food are helping each other in our body to give us more power and energy too.
They Synergise for us.
Synergy is one of the laws of the nature.
Synergy is everywhere in nature.
Sun, Water, Animals, Plants, Earth, etc. They all work together to produce greater effect than the sum of their seperate effects.
If one of them is missing, we would have big trouble with nature.
Our whole body’s muscles synergise to produce greater power and speed to all martial arts techniques, plus using gravity, leverage, momentum, etc to maximise the effectiveness.
If one of them is missing, it won’t be as effective.
Now, I will show you my way of how to combine those foods with balance in one meal.
These are some examples from my meals.
Chicken Miso Soup & Rice & Natto & Salad
1, Protein (Chicken, Natto, Miso)
2, Vitamins (Veggies, Nuts)
3, Minerals (Veggies, Nuts)
4, Fiber (Veggies)

Those are just examples from my favourite meals.
Everyone has different taste, and some people can’t eat certain foods, so try to get your own recipes which have a good balance of nutrient food and also tasty.
Healthy and nice to taste is best for you to enjoy, so you will look forward to having every meal!!
