Comment

ISHII Kumiko, National Registered Dietitian at JISS

I explained the basic concept of what kind of meal is necessary for a woman in growing years. This is important to actually prepare the every meal consisting of a staple, a main dish, a side dish, dairy products and a fruits.
It is a good occasion to have communication with you colleague and coach. I was assured the dining room filled with players’ laughter is a good sign of energy floating around in addition to the nutrition taken from the meal.
