Increase exercise without any difficulty

Increase your exercise! But is it easy??

We all know that exercise is good for our health and hope to increase exercise. However, you won’t be able to acquire the physical strength to do a strenuous activity such as running or swimming all of a sudden, and it’s pointless if you can’t continue doing it regularly. Also, if you overdo it and harm your health, you’re putting the cart before the horse.

Consider your daily energy consumption

Our daily energy consumption will divide into the following four categories. Among these, NEAT is attracting attention, and it is the energy consumed by simple daily activities such as walking and cleaning. You will increase exercise just little by little with such small activities, but it will surely acquire healthy exercise habits.

NEAT is an abbreviation for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. It is the energy consumed by the light movements performed in daily life.
NEAT is attracting attention because we have clarified the relationship between the amount of NEAT and obesity recently. The amount of NEAT in obese subjects was lower than that in non-obese subjects.

Due to the mechanization and automation of daily life, they say that NEAT has decreased by more than 100 kcal daily. You may think it is only 100kcal, but it leads to a weight gain of about 1kg in 2 months and about 5kg in a year. However, you can also prevent this weight gain by consciously increasing NEAT, that is, increasing exercise actually. 

If you don’t like sports or are too busy to exercise, get into the habit of moving your body frequently. The amount of energy consumption can be increased steadily depending on ingenuity.

Examples of daily activity that increase NEAT

stand in the train and bus
play actively with children
take care of animals
standing while watching TV
floor polishing
garden cleaning

Let’s walk 10 minutes more than now.

Walking is the most popular exercise you can do anytime, anywhere. If you feel you are not getting enough exercise, try to increase the number of opportunities to walk daily.
Start by walking 1,000 steps (about 10 minutes) more than you are now, and gradually increase your steps to reach 10,000 steps a day!

Can you build facial muscles? (Smile and skin 4/4)

Can you build facial muscles? Yes, by laughing and smiling!

1) Smile expressively!

Can you build facial muscles naturally? Yes, by laughing. Laughter is said to have various health and anti-aging effects. But you you may have some concerns.
Doesn’t laughing make “wrinkles”?
Won’t the wrinkles deepen?
Some people may be worried about the negative aspects of laughter for aging care.

But that is a big mistake.
If you don’t smile because you care about your wrinkles, you’ll end up with signs of aging on your face.

It is because more than 20 facial muscles on the face weaken with age, causing sagging and a double chin.
The best way to train your facial muscles is to smile expressively.

They say that laughter activates muscles, improves blood circulation, and gives you a lively expression and lustrous skin.
If you remain expressionless, your facial muscles will become stiff, the corners of your mouth will droop, and your nasolabial folds will deepen, which is unsuitable for your skin.

2) Can you build the facial muscles with fake smile?

Some may say, “Even if it’s effective for aging care, I don’t laugh that much daily.”

Try raising the corners of your mouth and making a conscious smile. The changes in your facial muscles will transmit to your brain, and your brain will misunderstand that you are feeling happy right now. It will improve the balance of your autonomic nervous system.
It is based on the “facial feedback hypothesis” announced by Dr. Tomkins, an American psychologist.

It’s best to smile from the heart, but I’m glad fake smiles are also effective.
When you look in the mirror, lift the corners of your mouth and increase the anti-aging effect!

Laughter improves health (smile and skin 3/4)

Laughter improves health in blood circulation and lead to beautiful skin.

(1) Laughter improves health in its blood circulation promotion effect

Laughter improves health when it turns your breathing abdominal because the diaphragm moves up and down. Cardiopulmonary function becomes active, oxygen-rich blood circulates throughout the body, and metabolism becomes active. In other words, smiles and laughter promotes blood circulation in the body.
As a result, the metabolism becomes active, so the replacement of cells becomes active.

Improving blood circulation provides the following health benefits:
Relieves muscle tension and increases elasticity
Reduces vascular resistance and relieves stress on the heart
blood pressure drops
Relaxation effect by parasympathetic nerve dominance
Better lymphatic flow
From these things, you can expect anti-aging of the body with laughter.

(2) Relationship between blood circulation promotion and skin

By improving the flow of blood and lymph, excess water and waste products can be quickly discharged, preventing swelling and dullness, and are expected to be effective in aging care.

In addition, it has the following effects.
Metabolism becomes active by improving blood circulation, and skin gloss and firmness improve.
Sebaceous glands and sweat glands become active, and sebum secretion and sebum film formation increase, preventing dry skin.
Indeed, laughter seems to improve your health and also play the role of anti-aging cosmetics.

Laughter improves health by balancing the autonomic nervous system

(1) Relationship between autonomic nerve balance and the body

Laughter improves health in balancing your autonomic nerve. The autonomic nervous system has the sympathetic nervous system that puts the body in tension mode and the parasympathetic nervous system that puts the body in relaxation mode.

When the autonomic nervous system is out of balance, stress increases, which may temporarily cause the following symptoms:
disordered breathing
irregular heartbeat
increased blood pressure
Shoulder stiffness
fatigue
insomnia
Anorexia/overeating
Weight loss/gain
heavy stomach
Usually, the sympathetic nervous system is dominant while awake, so there is a lot of stress.
However, by laughing, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, and the two are balanced.

As a result, you will feel relaxed and relieve stress.
When the stress reduces, the above symptoms will be lighter and more likely to disappear.

Active oxygen will also decrease if you can relieve stress quickly by laughing, so preventing oxidation will lead to anti-aging.

(2) Relationship between autonomic nerve balance and skin

The disturbance of the balance of the autonomic nerves also affects the skin. For example, blood vessels constrict, resulting in poor blood circulation.

It causes puffiness, dark circles under the eyes (blue circles), and dullness. It leads to the deterioration of the barrier function and disturbance of turnover, resulting in dry skin and, in even worse cases, sensitive skin.

Smiles and laughter, and immunity improvement

Smile and skin 2/4

The smile and skin relation is a science.


The fact that laughter is effective for anti-aging, recovery from illness, and beautiful skin is not a story of image. The smile and skin relation is a scientific story.

In January 2017, a study started in Osaka to prove that laughter can treat cancer.
* Is laughter effective against cancer? Demonstration experiment, comedy offices also cooperate

In addition to this study, we know from various studies that laughter has a good effect on disease and anti-aging.
In this post, we show you how smiles and laughter boost immunity.

Immunity and body

Before discussing about the smile and skin, we will tell you about its benefit for your whole health. When we laugh, we transmit the excitement to the diencephalon, which controls the immune control function, and it produces neuropeptides, signaling substances.
We know that it flows out into the body through blood and lymph, attaches to NK (natural killer) cells, a type of immune cell, and activates them.

NK cells are lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, and are well-known as cells that exterminate foreign substances such as cancer and viruses.
They say that 3,000 to 5,000 cancer cells are generated each day in the body of a healthy person. The presence of cancer cells does not mean one has cancer, but the excessive growth of cancer cells leads to cancer.

When the body is healthy, NK cells exterminate cancer cells. So even if cancer develops, the human body returns to a healthy state every day.

Smile boosts immunity against infectious diseases.

NK cells also protect against viruses and bacteria, so they help prevent infectious diseases.
That’s why you’re less likely to catch a cold; even if you do, you’ll recover faster.

They say there are as many as 5 billion NK cells in our body, and when we laugh, NK cells are activated, boosting our immune system.

On the other hand, if the immune system becomes too strong, it can lead to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and connective tissue diseases. There seems to be little risk of it increasing for now.

From this, laughter seems to have a connection with anti-aging.

Conversely, sadness and stress reduce the vitality of NK cells.
As a result, your immune system deteriorates.

Smile and skin’s immune system

So, does laughter boost the immune system of your skin?
The skin is also a part of the body. So, of course, it is thought that it does.

Improving immunity is expected to positively affect skin infections, rough skin, and atopic dermatitis, but there seems to be insufficient research on this point.

By the way, the Langerhans cells in the epidermis are responsible for the skin’s immunity.
Although many aspects of Langerhans cells are still unclear, we have found that they function as a control tower for skin barrier function and are deeply involved in atopic dermatitis.

Smile and Skin 1/4

Smile and skin: It’s a natural anti-aging care.

Laughter and smiles have a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system. It will also boost your immune system and keep you healthy and beautiful. Aging care is related not only to the use of aging care cosmetics but also to everyday casual actions. Smile and skin anti-aging have a close relation.

“Laughing” is one such act, and it has a beautiful skin effect!

Doesn’t it make you feel physically and mentally refreshed when you laugh out loud? Laughter relieves stress, promotes blood circulation, and reduces active oxygen. That’s why smiles and laughter also lead to anti-aging and aging care of skin and others.

Through the series of our posts from this one, we will introduce various effects of “laughter” on the mind and body from a scientific point of view.

Stress physically damages your skin.

Have you ever laughed holding your stomach recently?
A 4-year-old child, curious about everything, laughs more than 300 times a day, but adults are said to laugh less than 15 times a day on average.

Some may think, “Huh? Maybe I haven’t laughed 15 times…”.
Modern society exposes you to stress.
You may have wrinkled your eyebrows more often unconsciously.

Stress can also cause rough skin and is one of the great enemies of beautiful skin and aging care. When stress increases, it doesn’t matter only mentally. It increases active oxygen to counter such stress, leading to skin oxidation.
As a result, the aging of the skin progresses.

Natural healing power of laughter and smile, on skin and everything

Here, I would like to pay a little attention to the health and aging care effects that laughter and smiles bring to beauty.
It is becoming clear that “laughter” can improve the natural healing power that we possess and positively affect both the body and the skin.

What if you could have beautiful skin just by smiling?
Like aging care cosmetics, I want to make laughter a daily habit.

In the following posts, I will introduce the effects of laughter and smiles on beautiful skin, health, and anti-aging.
We will also discuss how to have a good laugh.

How can I get myself to fall asleep?

Blood circulation improvement will help you to fall asleep.

How can I get myself to fall asleep? This will be the question many people have. They say that the human body becomes sleepy by lowering the deep temperature of the body. Heat is emitted from extremities such as limbs to lower the core temperature. Therefore, if the blood circulation in the hands and feet is poor, your body won’t release the heat well. It may disturb you from falling asleep smoothly. Therefore, when you can’t sleep, we recommend stretching the soles of your feet to improve blood circulation.

foot massage

Warm up the deep part of your body with a bath.

Japanese-style bathing is very effective for good sleep. People enter a state of rest by lowering their body temperature in preparation for falling asleep. Warming the deep part of the body by taking a bath will promote temperature regulation, and you can fall asleep smoothly.

Showering will warm up only the surface of the body. Soaking in a bath with lukewarm water of 38 to 40 degrees for about 10 to 20 minutes will warm you up from the core. Then the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, and the body goes into relaxation mode.
However, I think most people in America and Europe do not have a Japanese-style bathing custom or facility. In that case, a foot bath will work instead.

When you have coldness and swelling of hands and feet

Coldness and swelling in the hands and feet are common problems in women. While it is crucial to improve your circulation by massage, you can also support better circulation by physically lifting your feet with a foot pillow.

When you can’t fall asleep, not sleeping is an option.

When you say, “I just can’t fall asleep,” it may be due to the “defensive instinct” of the human body. When you look back on the times when you couldn’t sleep, wasn’t it when something terrible happened to you?
Sleep has the role of putting together the day’s events in chronological order and fixing them. Good and bad things will be fixed in your memory when you sleep. When you go to sleep after something terrible happens, you naturally remember it. They say that sometimes defensive instincts work to keep you from sleeping.
Trying to force yourself to sleep when you can’t fall asleep will lead to further stress, such as being unable to sleep due to impatience or having light sleep. In such a case, one option is to take the plunge and say, “I won’t sleep when I can’t sleep!”

Hair wellness from within

Anti-aging by hair wellness from within

Hair loss and thinning in women are said to be more challenging to treat than in men. It’s due to multiple causes in women complexly intertwined with aging and hormonal imbalance. Hair wellness from within is essential for your hair anti-aging.

Hair deterioration by hormone imbalance

“The secretion of estrogen, the female hormone that affects hair, peaks in the late 20s and gradually decreases, along with changes such as dryness, swells, and fine hair. In addition, the amount of estrogen decreases sharply from around 50, so the hair quality deteriorates further, hair thinning progresses, and gray hair becomes more noticeable. After menopause, female hormones decrease, Male hormones become relatively dominant, and male pattern baldness (AGA) can occur in women.” Natural menopause supplements like Juveriente® Effisoy® will be helpful.

Nervous system disorder

Be careful of the nervous system disorder due to stress. “When you receive mental and physical stress, the nervous system is disturbed, resulting in poor blood circulation and blood flow to the ends, causing hair roots to become malnourished. Zero stress is unrealistic. Find your way to relieve stress and release it before it builds up.

Sleep shortage

Sleep shortage and malnutrition are also high-risk factors for hair loss for modern women. Clinical results show that hair loss is noticeable when sleep time is less than 5 hours. “70% of growth hormone involved in producing new hair is secreted during sleep. The body secretes growth hormones abundantly during deep sleep immediately after falling asleep. Continual sleep deprivation will lower hair matrix cells’ division and bloodstream. It will eventually hinder hair growth. Try to get at least 6 hours of sleep and good quality sleep with few awakenings in the middle of the night.

Take balanced nutrition.

The center of hair wellness from within is nutrition. If you don’t get enough nutrients that make up your hair, your hair will inevitably become thin and weak. Especially people on a diet may be at the brink. 90% of hair is a protein called keratin made up of 18 kinds of amino acids. You should take in at least one protein source, such as seafood, meat, soybeans, soybean foods, and dairy products, in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Biotin and vitamins B2 and B6 are also important. It is ideal for taking them through food, but take supplements if it is difficult.”

About Scalp troubles

And finally, though not actually the hair wellness from within, scalp troubles. It often raises immediate troubles like redness, itching, and eczema. There are various causes. Hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners that are unsuitable for the scalp, strong irritation from chemicals such as perms and hair coloring, dryness due to over-washing, sunburn, excessive heat damage, oxidative stress, etc. Inflammation in the scalp will disturb the scalp turnover and may accelerate aging. However, there seems to be no medical data that hair loss increases due to oil clogging the scalp’s pores. Don’t be too desperate to remove the dirt but protect the moisture.

Anti-aging effect of Miso: the skin beautifying effect and bone strengthening

Miso is a typical Japanese fermented food made by fermenting soybeans. (Primarily famous as Miso soup internationally.) The fermentation with Koji (a fungus having various resolution enzymes) adds far more nutritional value and flavor to soybeans. Recently, they have revealed various health benefits of Miso; it has positive effects on health, beauty, and anti-aging, such as beautifying the skin and strengthening bones.

Nutrients of soybeans

Miso has supported the Japanese diet for 1,300 years. Japanese people have been saying that “miso keeps the doctor away” traditionally. The fermentation process produces abundant nutrients of Miso.

Even before the fermentation, soybeans contain high-quality vegetable protein, linoleic acid, which lowers cholesterol, and isoflavones. The human body absorbs such nutrients through digestion. But digestion capacity is limited depending on the person. The fermentation process will decompose such nutrients externally instead of digesting them and make them easy to absorb.

Nutrients that the fermentation adds to soybeans, as a Japanese fermented food

Furthermore, the fermentation will generate more nutrients, like a large amount of free essential amino acids and vitamins. These are not found in soybeans or are only present in small amounts. But the fermentation produces them in large quantities and brings about umami and sweetness.” Says Professor Yutaka Kashiwagi of the Department of Brewing Science, Faculty of Applied Biological Sciences.

Recently, we have elucidated some health benefits of Miso. They are like the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, cancer, and osteoporosis. Professor Noritoshi Maeda of the Department of Applied Biology at the Tokyo University of Technology said, “The free linoleic acid produced during the fermentation process from the lipids of soybeans will have the effect of suppressing the production of melanin. Recent research has shown that two bowls of miso soup will provide such an effect. I also learned that drinking Miso soup reduces the spots on my cheeks.”

In addition, melanoidin has an antioxidant effect and is expected to have an anti-aging effect. It is a brown substance produced by the reaction of amino acids and sugars during the fermentation and maturation process.

Miso contains various nutritional components as a Japanese fermented food

Miso contains eight essential amino acids for the human body, vitamins such as B and E vitamins, minerals such as potassium and calcium, fatty acids, dietary fiber, and polyphenols such as soy isoflavones. This Japanese fermented food is reported to be beneficial for metabolic syndrome and breast cancer prevention.

Metabolic syndrome prevention

Soybeans contain ingredients that lower bad cholesterol, such as linoleic acid, soybean lecithin, and saponin. An animal study reports that intake of one cup of Miso soup everyday through 6 months in conversion as a human suppressed the accumulation of triglycerides.

Breast cancer prevention

There is a research report that people who drink a lot of miso soup every day are less likely to get breast cancer. A study of 21,852 women aged 40 to 59 found breast cancer onset rates were lower by 26% in those with two drinks per day and 40% lower in those with three or more drinks per day compared to women with one per day or less.

Housework is exercise – to support your health essentially

You don’t have time to exercise? Housework is exercise, really!

“I don’t have time to exercise because I’m too busy with housework.”
I often hear this kind of wording. But do you know that housework is exercise in the practical sense?

Many people think they need literal exercises such as walking and muscle training to maintain weight and manage health. However, even when doing housework or commuting, we move our bodies by walking and standing. Such activities also burn a lot of energy. Yes, housework is exercise in a practical sense. 

Do ten more minutes of housework a day

Housework and other activities necessary for daily living are called “lifestyle activities.” We have proven that such “lifestyle activities” reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases and nursing care in the same way as sports and exercise for physical fitness.
Increasing housework time by 10 minutes daily can reduce the risk of developing lifestyle-related diseases by 3-4%.
You don’t necessarily need to be determined to do some so-called “exercise.” Housework is exercise. 

The table below shows how many calories each daily activity burns.

 

Woman (50kg)

Man (70kg)

Using a vacuum (15mins)

46 kcal

64 kcal

Mopping floor (15 mins)

60 kcal

“Weeding,” “pushing a wheelchair,” and “caring for the elderly and people with physical disabilities” requires the same amount of exercise as walking. Mopping up of floor consumes the same amount of calories as playing badminton.

Now you know that moving your body in your daily housework and work is crucial to improving your health. Housework is exercise, really!
