Thinking about "good water" new moon note August 2024

The August new moon has arrived. This month's special juice is watermelon juice. Since the summer began, many customers have been happy with our watermelon juice in stores, and it has also been very popular online. We will continue to sell it this month, so please give it a try and feel the signals of your body's joy.

As I wrote in last month's note, a podcast interview with Aris LaTham, a food scientist living in Panama, has been uploaded. Please listen to it here .

He uses his many years of experience to talk about healthy eating in an easy-to-understand way. It's very interesting and worth putting into practice, so please give it a listen.

One thing that impressed me about what he said was his theory that "we humans are about 70% water, so we should consciously consume (good) fluids by drinking juice and eating vegetables and fruits that are high in water." Humans, vegetables, fruits, and even the earth are about 70% water. Since we live by storing water, it makes sense that we should be conscious of actively consuming high-quality fluids.

Coincidentally, Juan Archuleta, a martial artist who was a guest on Aris' previous podcast, also spoke about how we should improve the quality of the water we drink in order to live a better life. Everyone has their own definition of "better," but I think it means water that is as natural, as little processed, and living as possible.

Vegetables and fruits are made up of about 70% water, and this water tank stores the moisture of the environment in which they grow. I feel that the clean water from a beautiful environment filtered by plants is the water from which we can receive energy. As I was thinking about this, I remembered the title of a legendary book previously published by Professor Hashimoto Tsuneo, a teacher of composting. "Making delicious water in the fields." By coincidence, I was spending my days with many opportunities to pay attention to water in various situations.

This is an announcement for the event.

This year we will be participating in the Yamagata Biennale, which will be held in early September.

In addition to using Yamagata plants to squeeze juice (enjoy the water!), there will be talks and workshops.

The talk will be with Toshiro Inaba, a person I respect. All of the books written by Professor Inaba are wonderful, so I am personally looking forward to this talk. I'm sure it will be an interesting talk, so please join us if you are available!
