体内の循環を良くする一つの試み

　若き日には全く想像してなかった「一人暮らし」が２０年も続くとは、現実の人生は分からぬものです。しかし、よく考えると、これは私だけに限ったことではなく、益々、少子高齢化が進む日本では、今後、長生きすれば誰にでも起こり得ることでしょう。そう考えると、私は悩むことはないとも思ってます。それどころか、若い人への将来の手本となるべき生き方を模索してます。

　このような現実の環境下で、日々、考える要点は、１に、健康的な食生活への取り組み、２に、経済生活の安定法、３に、創造的にして夢中になれる大好きな趣味を持つこと、4に、地区とのつながり、つまり、社会性と思っています。結果的に、この４つが認知症を未然に防ぐことにも近づくのではないでしょうか。

　この中で、１の健康法については、何と言っても「体内のスムースな血液循環とリンパ液の流れ」と悟ってます。同様に、体内の循環と言えば、「お腹が空くこと」が大切で、究極の健康法は「如何にして便秘とは縁のない体内の流れにするか」いろいろ工夫し、実践です。

　そこで、体験的に「わかめ」の摂取が予想を超えて効果があると実感してます。調べてみると「わかめ」には水溶性食物繊維が豊富に含まれ、その働きは水分を保持しながら大腸に運ばれるので、硬い便を柔らかくする効果があり、腸内で善玉菌を増やし、腸内環境を整える効果が期待できるとあります。

　野菜と共に、味噌汁の中に「わかめ」を入れると味は断然と向上し、一石二鳥を感じてます。

Dear my overseas friends aiming to a centenarian

　When I was adolescent, I could not imagine my living alone for 20 years. So we can't understand our future life. However, when I think about it, this is not just something that happened to me. In Japan, where the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, it will happen to anyone if they live long enough. With that in mind, I don't think I have anything to worry about. On the contrary, I am searching for a way of life that should serve as a role model for young people who have the brilliant future.

　Under such a real environment, the main points to think about every day are: 1. How to eat a healthy diet, 2. How to stabilize our financial life, and 3. Find a hobby that we love and can be creative with. 4, there is a connection with the district, that is, a sociality. As a result, I think these four factors will bring us closer to preventing senile dementia.

　Of these, I understand that the first health method is "smooth blood circulation and lymph flow within our body." Similarly, when it comes to circulation in the body, it is indispensable to have an empty stomach, and the ultimate way to maintain good health is to devise and practice how to improve the circulation in the body without causing constipation.

　Therefore, I have fully realized from experience that consuming wakame seaweed is more effective than I expected. When I investigate it, the wakame is rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, and its function is to retain water while being transported to the large intestine, which has the effect of softening hard stools, increasing the number of good bacteria in the large intestine, and It is said that it can be expected to have the effect of regulating the intestinal environment.

　If I add wakame to miso soup along with some vegetables, the taste will definitely improve, so that we'll be able to kill two birds with one stone.
