How Many Steps Should You Walk to Live Longer?

From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。


今回は日本のNEWSについてです。

厚生労働省はアルコール摂取量のガイドラインを作っている

年末の忘年会シーズンがはじまっています。

今、厚生労働省では、アルコール摂取量のガイドラインを作っているそうです。

日本らしいニュースだなと感じたので、今日はこのトピックです。


ガイドライン案では、生活習慣病のリスクを高める飲酒量を、1日当たりの「純アルコール量」で、男性は40グラム以上、女性は20グラム以上を摂取した場合としたうえで、体質などによってはより少ない量にすることが望ましいとしています。  また、男女とも、1回の飲酒で「純アルコール量」を60グラム以上摂取すると、急性アルコール中毒などが起きる可能性があるため、避けるべきだと注意を呼びかけています。

ちなみに、お酒の量に換算すると、純アルコール量20グラムにあたるのは、  ▼度数が5％のビールは500ミリリットル。 ▼12％のワインは小さいグラス2杯分の200ミリリットル。 ▼25％の焼酎は100ミリリットル。

などがあるようです。


ぼくはこのNEWSを聞いて、本当に日本だなと感じました。
強制力のないルールを作って、国民に守ってもらうように促す。そんな感じですね。

実際、このルールができても、はじめは気にする人がいるけど、だんだんみんな忘れていくんじゃないかな、と思います。
