Toshiaki Yoshino to release book on dietary health method

Taiyo Tosho has announced the release of a new book, ‘Shidoku-nuki de Fucho ga Kieru’ (Eliminating the Four Poisons to Remove Physical Discomfort), scheduled for publication on August 27, 2026. Written by Toshiaki Yoshino, a dentist and senior advisor at the Ginza Eldia Clinic, the book focuses on a dietary method known as ‘Shidoku-nuki’ to improve various health conditions.

The method advocates for reducing or eliminating four specific food groups: wheat, vegetable oils, dairy products, and sweets. The author suggests that excessive consumption of these items contributes to lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and various mental or physical ailments including depression and insomnia.

To replace these, the book recommends returning to a traditional Japanese diet centered on fresh, natural foods and rice. The publication aims to provide visual guides and practical tips for implementing these dietary changes to achieve better health and longevity.
