AUTHOR'S VOICE What's the true meaning of well-being? I'm fanatically health consious. I've been keeping track of all my food intake and workout routines for the last four years. Even during the busy morning, I squeeze out five minutes to do my routine workout. I found a secret recipe for continuing this routine workout; I dial 117. Can you imagine what 117 gives us here in Japan? It's a 'time tone.' I do push-ups, squats, sit-ups, etc., along with the tone that comes out from the speaker. I'm considering purchasing a metronome instead, but the time tone gives me an idea of when I should pack things up and run to catch the train, so I like this style so far. After I hop on the train, the moderate muscle fatigue gives me a tremendous sense of self-complacent pleasure. 'I wanna be a superman' I daydream as I gaze out at the view through the train window...

COOKING 
Scrambled Eggs with Mizuna and Red Bell Peppers Mizuna is a very popular, early spring Japanese vegetable with feathery, jagged-edged green leaves. It's classified as a mustard green and has a piquant, mild peppery flavor. Mizuna makes an excellent salad green, but it can also be used in stir-fry, soup or steamed dishes. It's rich in vitamin C, calcium, iron and folic acid. It also contains glucosinolates, which may inhibit the development of certain cancers. Mizuna may be found in farmers' markets and specialty produce stores from spring through summer in the United States. If you have trouble finding it, other dark leafy vegetables, such as kale or mustard greens, may be substituted. Sake and soy sauce in this recipe adds a unique flavor to the otherwise ordinary egg dish. Try not to overcook mizuna, in order to keep its crispness. Serve with either toast or steamed white rice for an easy and quick meal.
