What I ate yesterday

Every year I go to a medical check-up, and I am always told that I have the Dyslipidemia (or Hyperlididemia), one of the nutritional and metabolic disease. 

 

I am not a nutritional expert, and I don't know much about it.  But I cooked something which might be helpful to my health.

 

I took some of the pictures then, so I would like to share what I ate yesterday.

 

 A cup of soymilk

(Isoflavone is said to be helpful to people in my age)

 

I took a cup of rice with Natto. 

I sliced an apple for breakfast.

For lunch, I took some pumkins.   (Microwave - 3 minutes.)

This is the pan which I use for more than 18 years. 

I can attach a sieve in the upper level; I put some water in the lower one.   

Steamed sweet potatoes

I boiled Shimeji mushrooms and sliced onions.

 

a package of vegetables
(soy sprout, sliced carrots, cabbages, leeks, green peppers)

 

A bin of a ponzu dressing (juice pressed from citrus)

Compared with soy sauce, this contains less salt.

 

 

 Upper in the left: young soybeans in the pod

I think I should have eaten more protein yesterday.

-----

I had a fever of more than 38 degrees for four days until yesterday, so I tried to drink much of water.
I had 2 petbottles of sweetened tea in the refrigerator, so I drank all of them yesterday.
The sweetened taste made me easy to drink.
