Event Report: Cook Deli Nutrition Wonder 2025 Summer

Cook Deli Co., Ltd., based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and Osaka, recently hosted the "Cook Deli Nutrition Wonder 2025 Summer" event from July 22nd to 24th, 2025. This three-day event emphasized health awareness and aimed to promote well-being among employees, particularly in regard to gut health.

This year's theme, "Gut Health Awareness," was part of the company's activities under the Cook Deli Certified Nutrition Care Station initiative, integrating education with practical experiences for the participants. For the first time, representatives from partner companies participated, broadening the health awareness network beyond the company itself.

Focus on Gut Health

The event spotlighted the gut, often referred to as the "second brain" due to its crucial role in overall health. A seminar led by registered dietitians discussed the significant impact of gut health on areas such as skin quality, mental well-being, immune system function, sleep quality, and the risk of lifestyle diseases. Participants learned that maintaining gut health involves incorporating probiotics, such as lactobacillus and fermented foods, and prebiotics like dietary fibers and oligosaccharides into their daily diets. Following the seminar, attendees enjoyed a unique lunch and crafted smoothies enriched with these beneficial components.

Gut Flora Testing

The program also featured gut flora testing, named “Mykinsou,” conducted in collaboration with the Well-being Promotion Office. A portion of the testing costs was covered by the company, making it accessible to employees. Participants received insights on how to interpret their test results, discussing overarching trends within the company. This provided a fantastic opportunity for individuals to rethink their eating habits and lifestyle choices, with personal consultations available from nutritionists to guide them on improving their health.

As a company that emphasizes the relationship between food and health, the event served as a vital reminder of the importance of gut function and environment, equipping the team with valuable insights to apply in future initiatives.
