Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for appropriately determining the intakes of nutrients and foods required for maintaining the health of humans or animals according to individual differences.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that the metabolism of human beings, that is, the balance of minerals-vitamins-hormones-oxygen is disturbed by the abuse of food additives, environmental pollution, stress, etc., and this is one of the causes of diseases. . It is well known that in order to correct such a situation, in order to restore metabolism, it is sufficient to ingest the nutrients required by the cells of the body.

Therefore, conventionally, various dietary supplements for ingesting such nutrients have been commercially available.

[0004]

However, the constitution of human beings varies widely, and the types and amounts of nutrients to be ingested differ from individual to individual, and blindly ingesting various types of nutrients is harmful to health. There was even a risk of it.

On the other hand, it is difficult to objectively grasp one's own constitution, and even if one grasps one's own constitution, it is still more difficult to grasp what kind of nutrients should be taken and in what amount. It was difficult.

The above situation is exactly the same for animals such as pets and livestock.

[0007]

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is suitable nutrients and foods suitable for individual individuals consisting of persons or animals who are provided with a menu of ingestion of nutrients and foods. The present invention relates to a method for easily and accurately providing a food intake menu. That is, the nutrient intake menu creation method of the present invention collects the hair of an individual consisting of humans or animals, analyzes the value of each mineral contained therein, and sets this value as a standard for the value of each mineral set in advance. It is characterized by identifying excess and deficiency minerals of the individual and their excess and deficiency amounts by comparing with the values, and determining the nutrients and the intake amount of the nutrients that the individual should ingest based on this result.

Further, the food intake menu preparation method of the present invention collects the hair of an individual consisting of humans or animals, analyzes the value of each mineral contained in the hair, and analyzes the value of each mineral in advance for each mineral. By comparing with the standard value of the value, the excess and deficiency minerals of the individual and its excess and deficiency amount are specified, and based on this result, the nutrients and the intake amount that the individual should ingest are specified, and the food type and Characterized by determining the intake.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The greatest feature of the present invention is that the constitution of an individual consisting of humans or animals is objectively grasped by inspection, and a nutrient and food intake menu is prepared in accordance with the objective constitution.

Further, in the present invention, in order to examine the constitution of the individual, a means for collecting the hair of the individual and analyzing the value of each mineral contained therein is used. In this case, examples of minerals to be analyzed include the following. Calcium, magnesium, sodium,
Potassium, copper, zinc, iron, phosphorus, selenium, silicon, polon, manganese, chromium, cobalt, tin, nickel, molybdenum, panadium, germanium, mercury, cadmium, lead, aluminum, arsenic, and the hair to be analyzed is human. In this case, in addition to hair, pubic hair and the like are suitable.

An example of the above analysis means is as follows. Approximately 150 to 200 hairs collected from an individual are washed away of dust, dye, etc. adhering to the hair and dried. The above hair is melted with nitric acid or the like to form a liquid. The above liquid is applied to a protoplasma spectrophotometer (for example, a product name “Plasma Jet Screen” manufactured by Beckman) and analyzed for mineral values.

On the other hand, the results of the above analysis (about 30
The analysis results for all people are used as physical data (gender, age, height,
By categorizing based on body weight, etc., using the standard for each type as a reference value, and comparing the analysis result of the individual with the reference value for the type that is close to the physical data, identify the individual excess and deficiency minerals and their excess and deficiency To do. Then, in the nutrient intake menu creation method of the present invention, the nutrients to be ingested by the individual and the intake amount thereof are determined based on the correlation between the excess and deficiency minerals and the necessary nutrients which has been examined in advance.

By the way, in the above-mentioned analysis conducted in the past, the medical history was also collected as data at the same time as the physical data, and the result of medically examining the relationship between excess and deficient minerals and disease obtained empirically from this data. Based on the above, the nutrients to be ingested by the individual and their intake amount may be determined, and the health condition may be advised.

Further, in the method for preparing a food intake menu of the present invention, a food corresponding to a nutrient to be ingested by an individual and an intake thereof based on a correlation between a necessary nutrient and a food for ingesting it, which has been examined in advance. Determine the type and intake. In this case, enormous amount of data and examination work are required to cover all foods. Therefore, in the practice of the present invention, it is realistic to limit the foods to be instructed to an individual to nutritional supplements that are typified in advance according to their components.
