00:00There are people who have a high level of cholesterol, but they don't seem to be in a bad condition, so they just leave it as it is.
00:09Today's theme is bad cholesterol.
00:15If you leave bad cholesterol at a high level,
00:20it will cause atherosclerosis,
00:25myocardial infarction, stroke, and many other life-threatening diseases.
00:33So this time, I asked a person who has a high level of bad cholesterol about his diet.
00:40Then Mei said,
00:42Most of the things I'm worried about are bad cholesterol.
00:47Then Mei gave him a prescription.
00:53Is it going down?
00:55Yay!
00:57Yay!
00:59I'm glad.
01:01A surprising change.
01:05At the age of 100 years old,
01:09Sun Life Presents
01:12A body-rejuvenating TV show with the main character of Kusanohitoshi.
01:18Today's theme is bad cholesterol.
01:22I have an image that if you have a problem with your diet, it will increase.
01:28There are many people who are actually taking medicine.
01:32My mother is taking medicine, so I'm actually worried.
01:36This is the person who consulted me about the bad cholesterol level this time.
01:42Sachiko Ugajin, 57 years old.
01:44Bad cholesterol levels have risen since seven years ago.
01:49In January of this year, the bad cholesterol level was 169.
01:54If the bad cholesterol level is high, it is said that it is a cause of atherosclerosis.
02:01Now, where is the cause of the rise in Ugajin's level?
02:06Let's take a look at that.
02:09Good morning. Nice to meet you.
02:12Nice to meet you.
02:16This is the person who consulted me this time.
02:18Sachiko Ugajin, 57 years old.
02:22Is this your house?
02:24The first floor is my house.
02:31Is this the first floor?
02:33This is the first floor.
02:35There is a bathroom in the basement.
02:39It's like a basement.
02:43Welcome.
02:45Nice to meet you.
02:47Hello.
02:49I'm Sumomo.
02:51Nice to meet you.
02:54Is this your mother?
02:56Yes, that's right.
02:58This is Kyoko, a mother of 83 years old.
03:03Four years ago, her father, Seiichi, passed away at the age of 83.
03:08Now, she lives with her mother and sister.
03:14And recently, her mother has been worried about Sachiko's health.
03:22Especially...
03:25I don't want her to get any fatter.
03:29I don't want her to get any fatter.
03:33When did you start losing weight?
03:35I started losing weight when I was 50 years old.
03:38When I was in my 20s, I lost about 1 kg when I ate a little.
03:43But now, I don't even move a millimeter.
03:46I don't even move a millimeter.
03:48I feel like I'm gaining weight with air and water.
03:50In fact, Sachiko has never exceeded 60 kg until she was 50 years old.
03:58Her eating habits haven't changed at all since she was young.
04:03That's right.
04:0575 kg?
04:08In seven years, her weight has increased by more than 15 kg to 75 kg.
04:15BMI, which represents obesity, is 30.4.
04:19It's a medically unsatisfactory figure.
04:22In addition, if the abdomen is more than 90 cm, there is a risk of intestinal fatty liver.
04:29Sachiko was 101 cm.
04:33In addition to obesity, there is a more serious problem.
04:38Cholesterol.
04:39Every year, I get caught up in a health checkup.
04:42When I see cholesterol, I'm afraid that I'll get diabetes.
04:45If I search on the Internet, I'll find a lot of scary things.
04:48I think it's better to improve cholesterol early.
04:53Let's take a look at the results of the health checkup.
04:57There's a lot of cholesterol in this area.
05:03My blood sugar is just right.
05:06It's strange, but it's okay.
05:08This may not be very good, but it's cholesterol.
05:12What is this?
05:15That's right.
05:16LDL cholesterol, which represents bad cholesterol, is 139.
05:23It's a lot higher than normal.
05:29For Sachiko, health planning starts.
05:34To find out why bad cholesterol levels have risen,
05:38I'm going to investigate her diet.
05:42Sachiko starts preparing breakfast at 8 a.m.
05:48I'm going to put a lot of bread on the bread.
05:51There's a lot of bread.
05:55I'm going to spread the butter from end to end.
06:01This is French bread.
06:05It's delicious.
06:06It's a staple of a busy morning.
06:08It's a staple.
06:09It's delicious.
06:10It's a staple.
06:12I can tell it's delicious.
06:13And then...
06:16Do you want it sweet or salty?
06:19Like this?
06:21You like sweet things, too.
06:23It's delicious.
06:25She puts cheese on one slice of toast and maple syrup on the other.
06:32There are no vegetables.
06:36Do you want it sweet?
06:46It sounds good.
06:47It looks delicious.
06:48Do you eat it often?
06:49It's delicious when you eat it sweet and salty.
06:54This pattern is repeated forever.
06:57It's 1 p.m.
07:00She goes to work and has lunch.
07:02It's lunchtime.
07:03She often eats lunch at a park near her office.
07:08It's good.
07:09It makes me feel like I'm going to work.
07:15On this day, she eats a rice ball with tuna mayonnaise...
07:18A rice ball.
07:20...and a sandwich with vegetables and chicken.
07:25And...
07:26Are you done?
07:27What's this?
07:28This is cream puffs.
07:30Cream puffs.
07:31I see.
07:32You like sweet things.
07:33She says dessert is a must after work.
07:38She likes sweet things.
07:42It's 5.30 p.m.
07:45After work, she walks home from the station.
07:50Good morning.
07:52On her way home...
07:55What?
07:57She started eating snacks.
08:04Is this lotus root?
08:05What?
08:07What are you eating?
08:08It's lotus root.
08:11It's a vegetable.
08:13Lotus root.
08:14Is it okay?
08:16It's a vegetable, but I don't know what it is.
08:20Why do you eat it on your way home?
08:23If I eat it at home, my mother will be angry.
08:26She's a student.
08:27I see.
08:29I'm over 50 years old,
08:31but I want to eat something like this before dinner.
08:33I see.
08:35Do you feel like you want to look back?
08:38What?
08:41That's why I eat it before I go home.
08:43The director has a point.
08:47I'm done.
08:48Is that all?
08:49That's all.
08:51She finished a bag in 10 minutes.
08:55I ate it all.
08:57I'm home.
09:00When she gets home,
09:01the first thing she does is to throw away the empty bag.
09:06I'm going to throw it away.
09:08I can't throw it away.
09:09You can't.
09:11I'll just throw it away.
09:14I'm home.
09:16The director is watching her closely.
09:21It's past 6 p.m.
09:26She's getting ready for dinner.
09:31Today's dish is her favorite,
09:34pork belly.
09:36It looks delicious.
09:37There's a lot of fat.
09:38I use pork a lot,
09:40so I get a lot of fat.
09:46I don't have to use a lot of fat.
09:48I don't have to worry about my health.
09:52It's convenient.
09:54Sachiko has her own theory.
09:57It's positive.
10:00Pork kimchi with a lot of kimchi for health.
10:06Pork kimchi udon with udon.
10:11Thank you for the food.
10:19Pork belly has a lot of fat.
10:22It's delicious.
10:25She finished it in no time.
10:30It's the same as always.
10:33Her mom is already asleep.
10:38It's in here.
10:40This is it.
10:43She always keeps ice cream in the freezer.
10:48The ice cream she chose today is
10:51soft ice cream.
10:53This is it.
10:55You're still eating it.
10:59I don't want to eat it too late,
11:03so I eat it right after I eat.
11:06It's her daily habit to eat ice cream
11:09at the end of her meal.
11:13The reason why Sachiko has a high cholesterol level
11:17will be explained by May.
11:21Now, let's ask May about cholesterol.
11:27She is a professor at the University of Tokyo.
11:30She is also a guest professor at the University of Tokyo.
11:34She is also the director of the Sanno Hospital.
11:37This is Dr. Masato Odawara.
11:39Nice to meet you, Dr. Odawara.
11:41Nice to meet you, too.
11:43Dr. Odawara has studied blood cancer for more than 30 years
11:48and is a world-renowned researcher.
11:53What do you find interesting about Dr. Odawara's life?
11:58I find almost everything interesting.
12:02Everything?
12:04There are so many problems that it's hard to organize them.
12:07There are three major problems.
12:11The first problem is animal fat.
12:15Pork belly.
12:17Pork belly causes high cholesterol.
12:21So it's important to reduce the amount of pork and beef fat
12:26and change it to fish.
12:29Change it to fish.
12:31The second problem is
12:33that she eats a lot of cream puffs and ice cream
12:37at the end of her meal.
12:39She uses a lot of eggs.
12:42It's also a dairy product.
12:45So it causes high cholesterol.
12:48I see.
12:50There is a debate about whether or not to use eggs
12:54for low-calorie cholesterol.
12:57But if you eat a lot of high-calorie foods
13:01you tend to have a higher level of cholesterol.
13:06So it's better to limit the amount you eat.
13:11Dr. Odawara said that it's not good to eat late at night.
13:15So she eats everything together.
13:18It sounds half-healthy.
13:21But in the end, she eats a lot of calories.
13:25It's easy to get diabetes.
13:28The third problem is
13:31that she doesn't eat a lot of vegetables.
13:34She doesn't eat vegetables.
13:37Cholesterol is adsorbed into the food.
13:41It's a waste of food.
13:45So it's important for cholesterol management
13:48to take enough food.
13:50I see.
13:52What is Dr. Odawara's seafood plan?
13:58It's sweeter.
14:02It's better to eat late at night.
14:08What is Dr. Odawara's seafood plan?
14:15My seafood plan is
14:19to eat mochimugi.
14:22Mochimugi?
14:24Mochimugi is a large variety.
14:27Mochimugi contains a lot of dietary fiber.
14:30The dietary fiber in mochimugi
14:33is absorbed by beta-glucans.
14:37So mochimugi contains a lot of
14:40dietary fiber and beta-glucans.
14:43I see.
14:45So I recommend you to eat mochimugi.
14:48One thing to note is that
14:51even if you eat a lot of dietary fiber,
14:54it doesn't absorb the dietary fiber.
14:58But if you eat a lot of good food,
15:01you will have an excess of calories.
15:04So it's important to eat a lot of good food
15:08with a certain amount of dietary fiber.
15:13I see.
15:15Another important thing is
15:18to eat a lot of ice cream, cakes,
15:21eggs, high-calorie foods,
15:24and dairy products.
15:28So I recommend you to eat a lot of
15:31high-calorie foods and
15:34low-calorie foods.
15:37Mr. Ugajin has implemented
15:40the improvement plan that
15:43Dr. Ugajin has proposed.
15:46The diet starts with
15:49mochimugi, which improves
15:52white-ball cholesterol.
15:55The diet starts now.
16:01Day 1
16:04Good morning.
16:06Nice to meet you.
16:09Ms. Sachiko has a day off today.
16:14She starts preparing breakfast
16:17with mochimugi.
16:19Mochimugi.
16:23I made a lot of mochimugi.
16:26Boil 100g of mochimugi
16:29for 20 minutes
16:32with 1 liter of water.
16:35Ms. Sachiko is motivated
16:38to use mochimugi anytime.
16:41She kept frozen mochimugi the day before.
16:46After thawing the mochimugi,
16:50put the mochimugi on the bread.
16:53It's up to you, but
16:56I think the mochimugi will sink.
16:59She adds mochimugi to corn soup.
17:02I see.
17:03It's good to put mochimugi in soup.
17:05For breakfast,
17:07she eats corn soup with mochimugi
17:10and rye bread with a lot of fiber.
17:13She doesn't put anything on the bread.
17:17It's good.
17:22It's good.
17:24I think
17:26mochimugi is better
17:29than just corn soup.
17:33It's sweeter.
17:35It's good because it's easy to eat.
17:37What do you think, mom?
17:39What do you think of my cooking?
17:42It's totally different from your cooking.
17:45I don't eat much.
17:47I don't eat much.
17:49I see.
17:51It's past 11.30.
17:53She's getting ready for lunch.
17:59This is her cousin, Mariko.
18:02Hello.
18:04I'm her cousin.
18:06They've been close since they were kids.
18:09This is her cousin, Mariko.
18:11When they have time,
18:13they often have lunch together.
18:17Mariko, fish.
18:20Let's eat together.
18:23According to her advice,
18:25she doesn't use meat,
18:27but fish.
18:31The menu is rice balls with mochimugi,
18:34sautéed catfish,
18:36a salad with a lot of fiber,
18:38and tofu and green onions.
18:41It's well-balanced.
18:43It looks good.
18:44It's different.
18:45It's different.
18:46It's different.
18:48I don't know if it's just me,
18:50but my skin looks better.
18:52That's good.
18:54She's feeling the effect.
18:57It's positive.
18:59She's cute.
19:00She usually enjoys
19:02dessert after lunch,
19:04but she's holding back
19:06by taking a walk with her dog, Sumomo.
19:10Since I'm here,
19:14I decided to take a walk
19:16when I have time.
19:22There's a reason
19:24why she wants to improve
19:26her cholesterol levels.
19:28Actually,
19:30in January this year,
19:32I joined a theater group.
19:35I only took a few lessons,
19:38but I was invited
19:40to take part in a play
19:42for a presentation.
19:44I got to do a lot of things,
19:47and it was a lot of fun.
19:49The teachers were fun,
19:51and everyone was fun,
19:53so I've been doing it
19:55with them ever since.
20:00She started taking lessons
20:02from the theater group,
20:04and now she's looking forward
20:06to a new life.
20:08That's nice.
20:10She wants to be healthy
20:12so she can enjoy acting
20:14forever.
20:18It's 3 p.m.
20:20after a long walk.
20:22She still can't wait.
20:25I'm going to make a snack.
20:27A snack?
20:29What?
20:31Are you okay?
20:33Do you have to put up
20:35with sweets?
20:37I don't think so.
20:39Sweets are bad for your health.
20:41So I searched
20:43on the Internet
20:45for something useful.
20:47I'm going to make
20:49a canteen.
20:52It's made of plant fiber.
20:54Sachiko is going to make
20:56a dessert using plant fiber
20:58in a canteen.
21:00She's making a dessert
21:02with sugar.
21:04She's adding a little bit of red bean paste
21:06to the sugar-free canteen.
21:08She's sprinkling
21:10boiled mochi on it.
21:12How does it taste?
21:16It's good.
21:18Red bean paste is good, right?
21:20I thought it was a bit too much,
21:22but it's not.
21:24It's just good.
21:26I made it myself,
21:28but I thought it was good.
21:30Can I have more?
21:32No, you can't.
21:34I'm happy.
21:36I'm glad it's good.
21:38Sachiko is satisfied
21:40with the mochi dish.
21:44It's 6 p.m.
21:46It's dinner time.
21:48She took out
21:50ground beef.
21:52What are you going to make?
21:54Hamburger.
21:56Here comes
21:58mochi wheat.
22:02Mochi wheat hamburger
22:04with lots of ground beef.
22:08I highly recommend this.
22:14It's good.
22:16It's good.
22:18It's good?
22:20I added mochi wheat.
22:22You added mochi wheat, right?
22:24Would you be able to
22:26eat this forever?
22:28No, not at all.
22:30I think this is better.
22:32I'm glad.
22:34If you put it that way,
22:36the mother also tried
22:38the mochi wheat hamburger.
22:40How was it?
22:42It was good.
22:44The mother liked it
22:46even though she didn't like
22:48what she ate.
22:50On this day,
22:52Sachiko continued
22:54to eat mochi wheat.
22:58On the third day,
23:00she ate tofu with mochi wheat
23:02and carrot and mochi wheat.
23:06On the fifth day,
23:08she ate
23:10mochi wheat porridge
23:12with lots of kinsai
23:14and kimpira burdock.
23:18After the commercial,
23:20is the level of
23:22bad cholesterol going down?
23:28A week later,
23:30Sachiko continued
23:32to eat mochi wheat
23:34to improve bad cholesterol.
23:38She had a blood test
23:40at the medical center again.
23:44What was the effect
23:46of the improvement plan?
23:48Before the test,
23:50the level of bad cholesterol
23:52exceeded the normal level
23:54of 139.
23:56It was 169.
24:00But this time...
24:02What?
24:06139?
24:08Did it go down?
24:10Yes!
24:12Yes!
24:14I'm glad.
24:16It was close.
24:20It went down
24:22from 139 to
24:24the normal level.
24:28To be honest,
24:30I was half-convinced.
24:32I was like,
24:34I'm really sorry.
24:36The doctor was amazing.
24:38I was really motivated.
24:40I felt like I could live
24:42eating mochi wheat for the rest of my life.
24:44It was a good effect.
24:46Yes, it was.
24:48I'm glad.
24:50Good job.
24:52Especially for people
24:54who have a bad diet,
24:56people who have improved
24:58their diet
25:00have improved a lot.
25:02Is there anything to watch out for?
25:04There are many reasons
25:06why cholesterol goes up.
25:08Of course,
25:10the most important thing is
25:12if you have a bad diet,
25:14I recommend you
25:16to see a doctor.
25:18I see.
25:20Dr. Odawara,
25:22thank you very much.
25:28Is it good?
25:30What?
