JP2002125604A - Thin rice gruel, and method for producing the same - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide thin rice gruel made so that even a patient such as a cancer patient who has extremely lost his (her) appetite can eat it, capable of making his (her) appetite increase by stimulating his (her) intracerebral hypothalamus, and also capable of keeping the constant physical maintenance function of the patient normal. SOLUTION: This thin rice gruel is obtained by putting parch-stained brown rice 4 together with brown rice 6 and/or adlay 7 in water 9, and boiling up the mixture so as to impart bitterness and fragrance each derived from the parch-stained brown rice 4 to the thin rice gruel produced in the boiling-up process. The thus obtained thin rice gruel produces such a result that the bitterness eluting into the thin rice gruel out of the parch-stained brown rice 4 promotes enterokinesis of the patient, or the fragrant ingredient eluting into the thin rice gruel out of the parch-stained brown rice 4 eliminates fullness feeling of stomach or intestine through promoting discharging the gas remained in the stomach or intestinal canal of the patient. Consequently, even such a patient as a last stage patient who has extremely lost his (her) appetite can eat this thin rice gruel.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heavy water bath used as a sick food for a patient who has a weakened appetite, such as a terminally ill cancer patient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, debilitated patients such as terminally ill patients with cancer lose their appetite and their food does not pass through the throat. In such a case, the doctor supplies calories and nutrients to the patient's body by one of the following two methods. The first method is tube feeding, that is, a method in which a tube is put into the stomach from a patient's nasal cavity and a high-calorie liquid food or nutrient solution is injected through the tube. The second method is central venous nutrition (IVH), that is, puncture of a patient's subclavian vein or femoral vein and insertion of a catheter (e.g., urethra / bladder) into the superior or inferior vena cava to diagnose a disease. (A tubular device used for treatment) is placed, and high-calorie infusion is performed through the catheter. In addition, in the field of sick meals used for elderly patients, etc., boiled water is coagulated or thickened with at least one of a coagulant and a thickener to wrap rice grains, and the whole rice porridge including rice grains and heavy water is made into a gel, and chewing ability and Porridge is known which makes swallowing easier even for severely ill patients with reduced swallowing ability (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-1878).
No. 32).

[0003]

However, when calories and nutrients are supplied to the body of a patient by the conventional tube feeding or central parenteral feeding method as described above, the patient is willing to live. Will be lost. This is because the act of eating and tasting is closely related to appetite and is also associated with pleasure, stimulating the hypothalamus (the center of life) and motivating to live. Therefore, in the artificial nutritional supplementation method as described above, which does not involve the act of eating and tasting, the fundamental desire and pleasure of the human being are shut off.
In addition, since the method of feeding a patient by tube feeding as described above causes great pain to the patient, most patients try to pull out the feeding tube. Therefore, in order to prevent the patient from pulling out the tube, it is necessary to restrain both hands of the patient with a rope or the like, and there is a problem that the dignity of the patient as a human is lost. In addition, in the case of feeding a patient by central parenteral nutrition, the frequency of the patient pulling out the tube is lower than in the case of feeding by tube feeding, but even in this case, the patient is restrained from the viewpoint of the patient. The feeling of being (connected to a catheter) is inevitable. Furthermore, in the case of central parenteral nutrition, nutrients are administered directly into the patient's blood vessels, so that the patient's digestive tract does not move,
In addition, both the primary defense (immune) line of the patient's body and the intestinal resident microflora, also called the intestinal liver, wither and the patient's physical function is impaired, which is important for the homeostasis system of the patient's body. There was a problem of affecting.

Further, the porridge in which the whole porridge containing rice grains and heavy water as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-187832 is in a gel state is extremely poor in appetite, such as a terminally ill cancer patient, and cannot accept food. Can not feed. Although this porridge has the effect of providing nutrition to the patient, it does not have the effect of improving the patient's condition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is intended to enable even a patient who has extremely low appetite, such as a terminally ill patient with cancer, to stimulate the hypothalamus of the patient, thereby improving the patient's appetite. It is an object of the present invention to provide a heavy water bath and a method of manufacturing a heavy water bath capable of maintaining the desire of the patient and the like and allowing the system for maintaining the homeostasis of the patient to function normally. Production of heavy water and heavy water that can improve the condition of cancer patients and that can return the number of white blood cells to a normal value when the number of white blood cells in the cancer patient is drastically reduced by administration of an anticancer agent. The aim is to provide a method.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a method of roasting brown rice obtained by roasting brown rice with fire, black rice, and barley and water, and cooking. It consists of a liquid obtained by this cooking.

In the above arrangement, the brown rice roasted by roasting brown rice in a fire is put into water together with black rice and barley and cooked. It can give the bitterness and aroma of roasting. By this, when this heavy water is given to the patient, the bitterness that has melted into the heavy water from the roasted brown rice is stimulated reflexively through the sensation of the patient's tongue to the vital center in the patient's hypothalamus, which stimulates the parasympathetic nerve. The secretion of gastric juice and other digestive juices can be promoted through this, and gastrointestinal motility can be promoted. In addition, the savory ingredient dissolved in heavy water from roasted brown rice functions as an aromatic gastrointestinal (aromatic gastrointestinal) or food flavor (aromatic food), and the gas accumulated in the stomach and intestinal tract. Promotes excretion of the stomach and intestines to eliminate bloating. Since the fragrance component in the heavy water enters the patient's mouth, unlike the cosmetic fragrance that gives only the sense of smell (so-called perfume), it also takes into account the scent that can pass through the patient's mouth to the nose. Therefore, the function of removing the feeling of bloating of the patient can be enhanced. Since the above-mentioned function of promoting gastrointestinal motility and the function of removing bloating can enhance the appetite of patients who have administered this heavy water, even patients with extremely low appetite, such as terminally ill patients with cancer, should eat this heavy water. Can be. This heavy water has black rice with anthocyanin-based pigment (polyphenol) which has an anticancer effect, and diuretic effect, and edema accompanying cancer etc. (a state in which a large amount of lymph and serum is accumulated in the interstitial space or body cavity of the body). Since barley and barley, which have an antioxidant and antipyretic effect, are used as raw materials, various symptoms of cancer patients, particularly those at the end of life, can be improved. Furthermore,
This heavy water contains trace nutrients such as zinc, iron and copper unlike heavy water made from ordinary white rice, so that the administration of an anticancer agent can increase the white blood cells of a cancer patient whose white blood cells have sharply decreased.

Further, the ratio of brown roasted brown rice, black rice and barley to water may be 1% by weight to 20% by weight. Thus, the operation described in claim 1 can be accurately obtained.

[0009] The invention of claim 3 is a method of roasting brown rice obtained by roasting brown rice, black rice, and barley into water, boil the water, and filtering the liquid obtained by the baking,
Alternatively, the present invention provides a method for producing heavy water, comprising taking a liquid supernatant. The same effect as in the first aspect can be obtained by the heavy water manufactured by using this method.

[0010] Further, in the state before the cooking, the ratio of the brown roasted brown rice and the black rice to the barley to water is 1 in each case.
The weight% may be set to 20% by weight. The same effect as described above can be obtained by the heavy water manufactured using this method.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A hot water and a method for producing the heavy water according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B, an example of a method for producing brown rice black roast (brown rice roasted with fire) as a raw material of heavy water according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. First,
As shown in (a), brown rice 1 is put in a frying pan 2 and roasted in a gas stove 3 with a slightly lower heat than medium heat. And
Continue roasting for about 1 hour, and as shown in (b), when the roasted brown rice 4 is put up with claws, it breaks into two pieces with a pong, and if it is confirmed that the cracks are dark brown, Turn off the fire in the kiln 3. The roasted brown rice 4 is called brown rice black roast.

Next, in addition to the flowchart of FIG.
With reference to (a) and (b), a method of producing heavy water using the above-mentioned roasted brown rice (brown rice black roast) 4 and black rice and barley as raw materials will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), brown rice 4 and black rice 6 and wheat 7
After putting them in a cup of 00g each and putting them in a bowl and mixing them (S1), they are lightly washed with water and drained with a sieve (S2). Next, as shown in FIG.
Then, the above three materials 4, 6, 7 and 9 liters of water 9 are put in (S3), and the iron pot 8 is cooked by the gas stove 3 with high heat (S4). Then, when the water inside the iron pot 8 boils (YES in S5), the heat is changed to a low heat at which the internal liquid slightly convects, and cooking is continued for about 4 hours (S5).
6). Then, the cooked liquid is filtered, and about 6 g of salt is added to the filtered liquid (S7) to complete the heavy water. The time required for cooking S6 depends on the weight of the above three types of ingredients 4, 6, 7 and the amount of water 9, and for example, brown rice black roasting 4, black rice 6 and barley barley 10 each take 10 minutes.
If 0 g and the amount of water 9 is 3 liters, it takes about 3 hours.

Next, the effects of the heavy water produced by the above method will be described. Before specifically describing the effects of heavy water, three types of functions that foods generally have are described. The three functions are a primary function, a secondary function, and a tertiary function. Primary functions are nutritional functions, including protein, lipids, carbohydrates,
Ingredients such as vitamins carry this. The secondary function is a work from the taste side, that is, taste, which stimulates the hypothalamus (the center of life) of the ingested person to bring vitality, and stimulates the immune system and endocrine system through the hypothalamus. The tertiary function is a function from the prevention side, and antioxidants and the like play this role, and prevent aging and lifestyle-related diseases.

Next, this heavy bath will be considered in view of the above three functions. First, considering from the aspect of the primary function, as shown in the component analysis report of FIG. 4, this heavy water mainly contains carbohydrates that are easily digested and contains a small amount of protein and lipid, in addition to water. Suitable for feeding debilitated patients. Next, considering the secondary function, from the clinical experience so far, even a weak patient who has no appetite and does not pass through the throat can take this heavy water. In addition, the heavy water is delighted by the patients as being delicious and does not get tired. Further, considering the tertiary function, the anthocyanin-based pigment (polyphenol) contained in the black rice 6 has begun to dissolve into this heavy water, and the antioxidant power of the anthocyanin-based pigment has excessive activity in the patient's body. It is effective in eliminating oxygen, and can improve the state of cachexia, which is common in patients with terminal cancer and patients with debilitating diseases. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, since this heavy water contains a large amount of micronutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and manganese necessary for the human body, the administration of an anticancer agent reduces the number of white blood cells in patients. By feeding the heavy water, the number of white blood cells of the patient can be increased.

The above secondary function will be described in detail. The reason why this heavy water can be consumed even by a weak patient who does not pass through the throat is as follows. That is, the bitterness and fragrance components of the brown rice roasting 4 have begun to dissolve into this heavy water, and these bitterness and fragrance components make the heavy water easy for the patient to ingest. Specifically, when this heavy water is given to a patient, the components of the fragrance dissolved in the heavy water from the roasted brown rice are converted into aromatic stomach medicine (aromatic gastrointestinal medicine) or food flavor (aromatic food). It acts as a stimulant and promotes the discharge of gas accumulated in the patient's stomach and intestinal tract, eliminating stomach and intestinal distension. Since the fragrance component in the heavy water enters the patient's mouth, unlike the cosmetic fragrance that gives only the sense of smell (so-called perfume), it also takes into account the scent that can pass through the patient's mouth to the nose. Therefore, the function of removing the feeling of bloating of the patient can be enhanced. In addition, the bitterness that melts into brown water from roasted brown rice stimulates the vital center of the patient's hypothalamus reflexively through the sensation of the patient's tongue, which stimulates the secretion of gastric juice and other digestive juices via the parasympathetic nerve. To stimulate the patient's gastrointestinal motility. Since this heavy water can enhance the appetite of the administered patient by the function of removing the feeling of fullness and the function of promoting gastrointestinal motility, the appetite of the terminally ill patients with cancer and the patients with debilitating diseases is extremely reduced. Patients can also eat this heavy water. This act of eating stimulates the patient's hypothalamus and maintains the patient's willingness to live, and also feeds the patient's intestinal microbiota, which is It functions to make the body's homeostasis function normally.

In addition, the conventional artificial feeding method using a tube or the like causes a great pain to the patient, and it is necessary to restrain both hands of the patient with a rope or the like in order to prevent the patient from pulling out the tube. Harmed the patient's dignity as a human. On the other hand, as described above, since this heavy water can be taken even by extremely unappetizing patients who had no method of supplementing nutrients besides using an artificial nutritional supplementation method, as described above, Has the function of maintaining dignity as a human. Furthermore, when the artificial nutritional supplementation method described above is applied to elderly patients, dementia progresses quickly, but by feeding this heavy water from the mouth, the patient's willingness to live as described above is increased. Since it is maintained, the progress of dementia can be prevented.

The results of a clinical test will be described as to whether it is possible to feed a debilitated patient such as a terminally ill cancer patient with this heavy bath. When five debilitated patients were fed this heavy water, all of them could eat more than 100 g of heavy water.

Next, the tertiary function will be described in detail. This heavy water is obtained by cooking various nutrients of brown roasted brown rice 4, black rice 6, and barley barley 7.
Combines the efficacy of two raw materials. Therefore, the effect of each of the three raw materials is the effect of the heavy water itself.
Hereinafter, the effects of each of the three raw materials will be described. First, black rice 6 is also called “longevity rice” or “medicine rice” in China and has been a gift to successive emperors. The Chinese Pharmaceutical Book “Honzo Tsuname” states,
It improves the functions of the kidneys, spleen and liver, has hematopoietic effects, has a good taste, and is good for nutritional supplementation for those with gastrointestinal weakness. "
Today, it has been revealed that black rice 6 contains an anthocyanin-based pigment (polyphenol). It has been demonstrated that this anthocyanin-based dye is excellent in antioxidant power and effective in eliminating excess active oxygen in the body. Also, black rice 6 contains antioxidant oryzanol and selenium which is a metal component of glutathione peroxidase which is the most important antioxidant enzyme in the living body, and the antioxidant power of these components is anthocyanin-based. Increases the antioxidant power of the dye. Furthermore, various trace nutrients have been dissolved from the black rice 6 in the heavy water. Black rice 6 contains vitamin C and a large amount of B1, B2, B6, D, and E that are lacking in ordinary white rice, and its content is 25-172% as compared with high quality white rice.
There are many. Among these, vitamin C promotes the formation of cells of the human body and adhesion of wounds, and prevents cancer and the like. In addition, vitamin B1 has remarkable effects such as preventing neuritis and beriberi, increasing appetite and promoting growth. Furthermore, vitamin D is required to increase zinc and phosphorus absorption and metabolism in the human body and promote normal tooth and bone growth. Vitamin E is also called "youth element"
It maintains the normal reproductive function of the human body and has the effect of preventing senescence. Black rice 6 contains 1 to 3 times calcium and phosphorus as compared with high quality rice (of white rice), and contains 1 to 5 times iron, zinc, copper, molybdenum, manganese and the like as compared with ordinary white rice. I have. Of these, iron is composed of components such as blood red protein and skin red protein, and plays an important role during respiration. Zinc and copper are called fireworks of life, and are important components of various enzymes, and are necessary for activation of the enzymes.

Next, brown rice 1 which is a raw material for roasted brown rice 4
The effect that has will be described. Brown rice is called "non-glutinous rice" in herbal medicine, a Chinese pharmaceutical, and "prevents the loss of body fluids,
Stop cheating. It is said to have the effect of "keeping healthy by eating constantly." Since the dehydrated state is often dehydrated, the effect of brown rice 1 is effective. Brown rice 1 also contains antioxidant oryzanol and selenium, a metal component of glutathione peroxidase, which is an antioxidant enzyme, similar to black rice 6. It enhances the antioxidant power of anthocyanin-based pigments cooked from the market. Further, by roasting the brown rice 1 to make the brown rice black roast 4, the brown rice roast 4 can have a detoxification effect not found in the original brown rice 1. Since debilitated patients such as patients with terminal cancer have reduced detoxification function, the effects of brown rice roasting 4 are effective for such patients.

Next, the efficacy of the barley barley 7 will be described. Hatomugi 7 is called "Yoku-yokuinin" in Chinese herbal medicine, herbal medicine, and is said to be effective mainly in treating edema (a state in which a large amount of lymph and serum is accumulated in the interstitial space or body cavity of the body). I have. This effect is derived from the fact that the barley 7 has a function of improving the blood flow and the flow of lymph (a liquid filling the body tissue). That is, hato wheat 7
Works on the patient's kidneys to stimulate diuresis,
Take swelling, ascites, pleural effusion, etc. of the patient's feet. In recent studies, Hatomu 7 has antitumor, central depressant (antipyretic, anticonvulsant, etc.), immune, anti-inflammatory,
It has been confirmed that ovulation-inducing action and the like exist. In particular, recently, attention has been paid to effects on cancers of the digestive system. This is due to the action of the barley 7 to improve the blood flow and lymph flow of the skin, mainly due to the coixenolide (Coix
enolide).

As described above, since various components from brown rice roast 4, brown rice 6, and barley 7 having various effects have been dissolved in this heavy water, it is useful for treating terminal cancer patients and debilitating diseases. It is effective for improving the patient's condition. That is, this heavy bath is
It has the effect of ameliorating the cachexia condition that is common in these patients. The cachexia is said to be caused by various metabolic abnormalities and toxins in a state in which general weakness, anorexia, wasting, anemia, dehydration, and edema of the eyelids and lower limbs are caused. For this medical condition, the above-mentioned brown rice roasting 4 has the function of preventing body fluid loss and the barley 7 has the edema-healing function. Furthermore, when the toxin that causes cachexia was investigated, it was found to be active oxygen. To eliminate the active oxygen, an anthocyanin-based pigment contained in black rice 6 is effective. As described above, the combination of the brown roasted brown rice 4, the black rice 6, and the wheat 7 is most suitable for improving the state of cachexia.

The results of clinical trials for improving cachexia are described below. When a plurality of patients were continuously ingested 200 g of heavy water three times a day, the cachexia condition was improved in about one month. This is because the function of the barley 7 that improves the blood flow and the flow of lymph fluid works on the kidneys of the patient and encourages the patient to diuresis.
Ascites and pleural effusion disappeared.

Further, since this heavy water contains a large amount of trace nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and manganese necessary for the human body, it is made available to patients whose number of white blood cells has decreased due to administration of an anticancer drug. Thereby, the number of white blood cells of the patient can be increased. FIG. 5 shows the components of this heavy bath in comparison with the components of the heavy bath using only white rice as a raw material.
As shown in the figure, this heavy water contains a large amount of trace nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus as compared with heavy water using only white rice as a raw material. In this figure, only the comparison results of the main nutrients are shown, not even the comparison results of a small amount of nutrients.

The results of clinical tests on the proliferation effect of leukocytes are described below. When a plurality of patients were continuously ingested 200 g of heavy water three times a day, it was confirmed that the number of leukocytes increased in about 1 to 2 weeks, although there were individual differences. FIG. 6 shows an example of a change in the white blood cell count when a patient whose white blood cell count has decreased due to the administration of the anticancer agent is continuously ingested 200 g of heavy water three times a day. As shown in the figure, in the case of this patient, only 9 days after starting to take heavy bath.
The number of leukocytes recovered rapidly within days.

Next, the fact that this heavy bath contains no toxic substance will be described with reference to FIG. This heavy water uses pesticide-free brown rice black roast 4, black rice 6, and barley barley 7 as raw materials, so that arsenic, DDT,
Contains no harmful substances to human body such as PCB,
Suitable for consumption by debilitated patients.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above embodiment, the amount of water used for cooking is 9 liters,
The example of the case where the amount of brown roasted brown rice 4 and black rice 6 used as raw materials and the amount of barley 7 were set to 300 g was shown. However, the amount of wheat 7 is not required to be the same between brown roasted brown rice 4 and black rice 6. Further, in the above embodiment, the cooked liquid is filtered through a sieve to extract only heavy water, but a supernatant liquid of the cooked liquid may be used as heavy water.

[0027]

As described above, according to the first or third aspect of the present invention, brown roasted brown rice is put into water together with black rice or barley and cooked, and the bitterness and aroma of brown roasted brown rice in heavy water are obtained. , The appetite of the patient to whom the heavy water was administered can be increased. With this, even a weak patient who has extremely lost appetite and water does not pass through the throat,
Since the heavy water can be eaten, the hypothalamus of the patient can be stimulated, various needs of the patient can be maintained, and the system for maintaining the homeostasis of the patient's body can function normally. In addition, raw materials are black rice having an anthocyanin pigment having an anticancer effect, barley having a diuretic effect, and having the effect of taking edema accompanying cancer, and brown roasted brown rice having an antioxidant effect and an antipyretic effect. By doing so, it is possible to improve various symptoms particularly of terminal cancer patients. Furthermore, unlike heavy water made from ordinary polished rice, this heavy water contains trace nutrients such as zinc, iron, and copper, so the number of white blood cells in cancer patients whose white blood cells have dropped sharply due to the administration of anticancer drugs has been increased to normal values. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the immunity and resistance of the cancer patient.

Further, by setting each ratio of brown roasted brown rice, black rice, and barley to water to 1% by weight to 20% by weight, the heavy water obtained by cooking can be used for extreme cases of terminal cancer patients and the like. When given to a patient who has no appetite, the above-described effects can be obtained accurately.
