コロナ禍で健康的な食事　Healthier Eating Reported During Coronavirus

昨日、23日（祝日、海の日）の無料英会話道場、午前コースでのトピックでした。

ベルギーの大学での研究結果によれば11か国、11,000人の買い物客調査では電子レンジで調理できる食べ物や塩辛く甘いスナックが減少し、新鮮な果物や野菜の量が増え、家庭での手作り材料が増えた、とのことです。

コロナ禍の行動制限の日数が新しい行動が形成されるに十分な6週間以上だったために、より健康的な食習慣が身に付き、コロナ後も継続すると予測されています。

この勉強会には料理上手な女性メンバーが多く、料理やレシピの話も英語で盛り上がっていました。

This was our talking topic yesterday on July 23 (Marine Day, a notional holiday in the morning course of Free English Learning Society.

A lady researcher at the University of Antwerp in Belgium told Reuters news agency the results showed that 11,000 people in 11 countries were buying less microwaveable food and more fresh fruits and vegetables as well as buying fewer salty or sweet snacks.

There was a big rise in people buying baking necessities like flour.

She noted that some of the improvements in eating are likely to continue. She says this is because in many countries, stay-at-home orders have been in place for more than six weeks – the usual amount of time it takes people to form new behaviors.

Many good lady cooks in this studying group also looked having enjoyed talking about their cooking styles and recipes.
