JP7256910B2 - Vegetable intake improvement system, vegetable diet database, and vegetable intake improvement program - Google Patents

Description

Related to the present invention are a vegetable intake improvement system, a vegetable intake diet database, and a vegetable intake improvement program.

Japanese people are recommended to eat vegetables. This is because vegetables contain nutrients necessary for maintaining good health. Examples of such nutrients include minerals and vitamins.

The average vegetable intake of Japanese citizens is less than recommended. The recommended amount is 350 per day
g or more. According to the disclosure of Non-Patent Document 1, the average intake of Japanese people is about 2 per day
76.5 g. In other words, the amount of vegetables that Japanese people lack is about 75g per day.

It is difficult for consumers to grasp the amount of vegetable intake. What is disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a non-invasive skin measurement method. Measured by this method are carotenoid levels in the skin. Suggested in this document are the provision of an objective index of fruit and vegetable intake, the assessment of antioxidant status, and the detection of malignancies and their risk.

A way to encourage vegetable intake is to review your diet. What is disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a health management support system. The system recommends products that are suitable for the subject's health condition. Calories are the primary reference when recommending products.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to individually improve vegetable intake.

The gist of the present invention is that one of the criteria for selecting a vegetable diet is skin condition. It is as follows when the present invention is defined from such a viewpoint.

First, it is at least the detection section and the processing section that constitute the vegetable intake improvement system. What is detected by the detection unit is at least a skin condition value, for example, a skin carotenoid value. What the processing unit causes the output unit to output are candidates for the vegetable diet. The amount of vegetables provided in this vegetable diet is greater than or equal to the shortage of vegetables. The basis for deriving the vegetable shortage is at least the skin condition value described above. In this system, the purchase amount of the above-mentioned vegetable meal is less than or equal to the input budget amount.

Secondly, at least a plurality of vegetable meal records constitute the vegetable meal database. The attribute values that make up this vegetable intake meal record are at least the amount of vegetables and a description. Amount of vegetables indicates the amount of vegetables provided in the vegetable diet. Presented in the description is a description of a vegetable diet. With such a database configuration, it is the description that the computer reads and the amount of vegetables associated with it that is greater than or equal to the calculated vegetable deficit. In this database, the attribute values that further configure the vegetable intake record are:
amount. The amount shown is the amount of the vegetable intake diet. With such a configuration,
The amount associated with the retrieved description is greater than or equal to the entered budget amount.

Thirdly, what the computer executes by the vegetable intake improvement program is output processing. That is, what the output unit outputs are the candidates for the vegetable diet. The amount of vegetables provided in this vegetable diet is greater than or equal to the shortage of vegetables. The basis for deriving this vegetable shortage is at least
A skin condition value, for example a skin carotenoid value. In this program, the purchase amount of the vegetable intake food is less than or equal to the entered budget amount. Moreover, what is output by the output unit under the control of the computer is the individual's shortage of vegetables. At that time, the personal skin condition value is referred to by the computer. Furthermore, under the control of the computer, the output unit outputs the difference between the recommended vegetable intake amount and the individual vegetable intake amount. At that time, the personal skin condition value is referred to by the computer.
Included in the skin condition values are skin carotenoid values.

It is possible with the present invention to individually improve vegetable intake.
