健脚に比例する見聞のチャンス

　話題がどうしても健康面になりがちで、お若い方々には申し訳ありませんが、私の関心事はいつまでも健脚であることです。健脚であってこそ、いつまでも見聞が広がります。毎日、朝夕にウォーキングしてますが、可能な限り途中で、ご覧のような階段の昇り降りを含めてます。

　というのは、平坦な道を歩くのと階段を昇るのでは、大腿部、及び脹脛の負荷が全く異なることを実感しているからです。半世紀以上経過した今になって学生時代に習った「ルーの法則」が真実であると実感し、実践している私です。

　これは「筋肉は使わなければ細くなり、適度に使えば維持・発達する。しかし、過度に使えば障害を起こす」というものです。また、「私たちの生命は筋肉によって維持できてる」と考えてます。身体内部の各臓器もすべて筋肉で出来てます。もちろん、これには適切な食事が伴います。

　どなたでも、年齢が増すと体重が減少しがちです。しかし、上記のことを考えると、ある程度の体重を維持する方が健脚でいられると考えてます。自らの意志で健康維持するには足腰の鍛錬、そして肺や消化器など内臓を圧迫しない姿勢を保ちたいと思います。

Dear my overseas friends

　The simultaneous interpretation for you will be later, because from now on I will participate to the radio gymnastics held at the park and take a breakfast. Then I'll interpret into English for your understanding above mentioned contents.

．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．

　I apologize to the young people, because I tend to talk about health, but my concern is always being in strength of legs. As long as we are in good shape, we are able to expand our knowledge and information forever. I walk every day in the morning and evening, and if possible, I include walking up and down the stairs as you can see.

　This is because I realize that the load on our thighs and calves is completely different between we walk on a flat road and we climb stairs. Now, more than half a century later, I realize that the "Lou's Law" that I learned as a student is true, and I practice.

　"Muscles become thinner if we don't use, and muscles are maintained and developed if we use in moderation. However, if we use excessively, they can become damaged." I also believe that our lives are maintained by our muscles. All organs in the body are made of muscles. Of course, this is accompanied by a proper diet.

　Everyone tends to lose weight as they get older. However, considering the above mentions, I believe that it is better to maintain a certain amount of weight, so as to being in good shape. In order to stay healthy by my own initiative, I would like to train my legs and hips and maintain a posture so as not to press the internal organs such as the lungs and digestive system.
