Abstract

People who don't have enough vegetables?
Yes, it is a book that makes you want to eat vegetables so much that you can understand how to eat "vegetables" that all human beings need and why they are necessary.

All wealth comes from your body and brain. Making the body and brain is vegetable investment!

Japan these days is plagued by various problems. Bullying, suicide, declining birthrate and aging population, and economic stagnation due to corona... I think that these social problems are often seen in the media, but there are serious social problems that are steadily undermining the future.
It's a vegetable shortage problem.

Even if it is said that there is a shortage of vegetables, few people will find the seriousness there. Here lies the seriousness of this problem.
Eating vegetables is important. I think everyone knows this. However, the current situation is that people think they know, but do not realize the magnitude of its value.

The evil caused by lack of vegetables is not limited to the ill health of one person.
The poor health of one person affects the health of those around them, the health of the community, and the health of Japan and the world. As it is written in this book, it is an undeniable fact that health is contagious, and various studies have proven it.
In this book, the lifestyle of continuing to eat vegetables is called "vegetable investment", but the return of this investment is not only for one's own health, but also leads to the solution of social problems around the world. Vegetables have so much potential.

I'm sure there are many people who realize that they don't eat enough vegetables, and each person has their own reasons, but vegetable investment brings money, happiness, freedom, and all returns.

After reading this book, I feel a little more familiar with vegetables, a little more fun at the supermarket, a little more fun cooking, and a lot more delicious colors in my meals. At that point, I think you will feel that you are glad you invested in vegetables, but the true power of vegetable investment comes from that point. One meal becomes fun, the day becomes a happy day, the next day becomes a pleasure, and tomorrow becomes a longing, creating a stable state of mind and body. With this, you can provide love and happiness to those around you. And it spreads even further.
This is a book for anyone who has worries, is anxious, has a weak body, or wants to train their minds. Please take it in your hand and read it once.

Now let's eat vegetables!
