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	84 kcal
Garden cleaning with broom (10 mins)	29 kcal	41 kcal
Car washing (30 mins)	79 kcal	110 kcal
Working on a chair (30 mins)	39 kcal	55 kcal
Dog walking (30 mins)	79 kcal	110 kcal
Pushing a wheelchair (15 mins)	53 kcal	74 kcal
Nursing care of an elderly or handicapped person	105 kcal	147 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!

Take a Japanese anti-aging secret through a natural supplement!

Fermented soy is one of the secrets of anti-aging of Japanese women. Fermented foods are often hard to eat for people of other dietary cultures. But you can take the essence easily through the supplement.

Health and self care in the highest life expectancy prefecture in Japan

Health and self care campaign

(Continued from “The best region among the high life expectancy in Japan”) In 1945, Dr. Wakatsuki was assigned to Saku General Hospital, and in 1959, Dr. Yoshizawa was assigned to Kokuho Asama General Hospital in Saku City, Nagano as the director. They walked around from one local community center to another to preach health and self care to farmers. They preached them, “Let’s learn that too much salt is the reason for a stroke, and let’s prevent it.”

In 1980, this activity came to fruition as the “Prefectural Residents’ Salt Reduction Campaign” throughout Nagano Prefecture. As a result of this activity, the amount of salt intake per day was reduced from 15.9g to 11g in 1983.

Dr. Minoru Kamata, the director of Suwa Central Hospital, took over the activity later and continues to this day. The preachers enjoy their long lives on their own. Mr. Wakatsuki is 96 years old, Mr. Yoshizawa is 93, and Mr. Kamata is still active at 72.

“A trace amount of poison” of vegetables is good for the body.

The “Nagano Model” emphasizes improving and enhancing eating habits. Let’s take a look at its features.

The first is the amount of time spent eating. Nagano Prefecture’s average is 104 minutes per day, the third longest in Japan. This means that they are chewing their food well. Chewing well prevents overeating and reduces obesity. As a result, Nagano Prefecture has one of the lowest rates of obesity, which is the cause of illness.

It is also known that dementia increases when the number of chewing decreases. Chewing well is also vital in that sense.

The second is the amount of vegetable intake. Everybody knows that vegetable is good for your health. But even experts vary in their idea of why it is good actually. One of the ideas becoming mainstream nowadays is that a trace amount of poison in the vegetable helps your health.

Nagano Prefecture is the number one producer of Chinese cabbage and lettuce in Japan and is also one of the top producers of cabbage and tomatoes.

At the same time, their intake of vegetables is also the highest in Japan as consumers for both men and women. The Japanese national average daily vegetable intake is 301g, while it is 379g in Nagano Prefecture.

Local food production and consumption

Nagano Prefecture produces red wine with a high proportion of their consumption. Red wine contains polyphenols and is known to be suitable against heart disease, especially arteriosclerosis.

In addition to vegetables and red wine, Nagano Prefecture is the number one producer of other foods in Japan. “Shinshu (Nagano) miso” accounts for about half of Japan’s total miso production. (Miso is fermented soy paste, one of the Japanese staples.)
Nagano’s Mushrooms also account for about one-third of the Japanese national production.

Fermented Soybeans / Variations and Health Benefits

Fermented soybeans are staples in Japan, and they account for a significant part of the healthy Japanese diet. Natto, miso, soy sauce. Can we take the same health benefit in the Western world?Let's dig into the basics of the fermented foods and fermented soybeans.The difference between fermentation and rottingMicroorganisms transform foods into different forms. If the new characteristics are useful for humans, it is fermentation. Otherwise, it's rotting. The border is simply "w...

Also, regarding consumption, Nagano Prefecture ranks first in Japan in miso and mushrooms per capita.

One of the reasons why miso and mushrooms are good for the body is because they are rich in substances called polyamines. Recently, it has become clear that this polyamine is good for health and is particularly effective in preventing aging.

Lesson: Take care of your health before getting sick and pursuing the best treatment.

Among various lessons we can learn from the Nagano model, the essential wisdom is what Dr. Yoshizawa preached: to be conscious of protecting your health. It is that each person works proactively for their health.

Ultimately, the essence is that we should take care of our health before getting sick instead of pursuing excellent treatment after getting sick.

Take the essence of fermented soy (miso) through a natural supplement!

Fermented soy is a staple of the Japanese cousin mostly as “miso soup”, and it is one of the secrets of anti-aging of Japanese women and the high life expectancy in Japan. Fermented foods are often hard to eat for people of other dietary cultures. But you can take the essence easily through the supplement.

The best region among the high life expectancy in Japan

The highest life expectancy region in Japan, Nagano prefecture

Most of us know the high life expectancy in Japan and some people seek for the secret behind it. Even there, Nagano prefecture boasts the highest life expectancy even in Japan.

Nagano wasn’t originally a long-lived prefecture. According to statistics from 1965, the life expectancy was 9th in men and 26th in women there, among all 47 prefectures in Japan.
Mountains on all sides surround Nagano Prefecture, and they traditionally eat preserved foods with salt. For this reason, Nagano Prefecture had Japan’s fourth-highest salt intake and a high mortality rate due to high blood pressure and stroke around 1960.

However, since 1990 for men and 2010 for women, Nagano has remained to boast the longest average life expectancies in Japan.

Nagano is also the top healthy life expectancy region.

Furthermore, Nagano Prefecture’s elderly employment rate is 26.7%. It is also the highest in Japan.
In other words, not only is life expectancy high in Japan, but healthy life expectancy (the age at which people can live independently) is also long there, ranking first for both men and women.

Nagano is an ideal model for the aging society of healthy and long life.

What makes them lowest from cancer mortality?

Nagano Prefecture has the lowest cancer mortality rate in Japan.

However, Nagano Prefecture is one of the few prefectures in Japan that does not have a “cancer center” that many other prefectures have. The number of general hospitals is below average at 33rd out of 47 prefectures.
On the other hand, the number of community centers responsible for citizens’ health care and disease prevention is the highest in Japan. Its number of public health nurses is also the second highest in the country.

It shows one secret of Nagano Prefecture’s success lies in “preventive medicine,” They place priority on the prevention of getting sick rather than medical treatment after they become ill.

This kind of medical care in Nagano Prefecture, now called the “Nagano Model,” started with the “salt reduction campaign” initiated by doctors who were enthusiastic about regional medicine.

(Continued to the next post, how come Nagano turned a healthy region?)

Best foods for skin anti-aging

To maintain youthful skin, lifestyle habits such as diet, sleep, and exercise are more critical than skincare and cosmetics.
It is necessary to be beautiful not only on the surface but also from within.
Here, we will introduce best foods for skin anti-aging and how you should eat.

Skin changes with age

As you age, your skin loses its firmness and adds wrinkles, sagging, and dullness.
It is a change that can happen to anyone, but it’s yet improvable with better eating habits. Here we introduce you to some tips.

Healthy Japanese Food - where Juveriente®'s natural supplements are from

Many women suffer from menopausal disorders and osteoporosis. We encountered natural solutions extracted and fined by top-tier food manufacturers in Japan because we are a food material trading company for industrial applications. We tried to introduce them to American supplement brands to help American and all international women, but no brands paid any little attention. They tout their "original formula" only with well-known ingredients regardless of whether they are effective for...

Foods and ways to eat that are bad for your skin

【food】

Processed food
Instant foods such as instant noodles, soft drinks, and sweets are low in vitamins, often contain a lot of sugar and fat, and are mostly high in calories for their size.
Excessive sugar intake causes a phenomenon called saccharification, in which proteins in the body stick together and harden, which can lead to aging of the skin (dullness, etc.).

Unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid
Unsaturated fatty acids in safflower oil and margarine are oxidized in the body and become hydrogen peroxide, which oxidizes sebum and destroys the antioxidant substances in the skin. It may accelerate skin aging. It is better to use oil containing a lot of oleic acids, such as olive oil, fish oil, and linseed oil, which have antioxidant properties and they will have anti-aging effects.

【how to eat】

Late night snacks
Snacks late at night will raise blood sugar levels. It will accelerate saccharification and aging of the skin.

Fast eating
Eating too quickly can rapidly increase blood sugar levels, and overeating can lead to excess calorie intake. Chew well and eat slowly.

Best foods for skin anti-aging and how to eat

【food】

Good quality protein
Collagen, which keeps the skin and skin firm, is made of proteins (amino acids). Let’s take high-quality protein from chicken, fish, soybeans, etc., so as not to exceed the calorie. The recommended intake is 1g of protein per 1kg body weight.
Fish is one of the healthy sources of protein. It is animal and high in protein but lower in fat than livestock meat.

Vitamin
Vitamins E, C, B2, and β-carotene, which are antioxidants, are said to be particularly effective in preventing skin aging. Let’s actively take green vegetables, such as green peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and spinach, that are rich in vitamins.

Brown carbs
Carbohydrates should ideally be as natural as possible. Unrefined carbohydrates, such as brown rice, contain plenty of good ingredients for the skin, such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Choose brown rice instead of white rice, and rye or whole grain bread for bread.

【how to eat】

Well balanced
Best foods for skin anti-aging will actually make sense if you take them in the right ways.
No matter how much vitamins are good for the skin, it’s never good for your body and skin if you take only vitamins.
The most important thing is nutritional balance. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (of Japan) recommends eating 30 items daily, but counting 30 items every day is quite difficult. The ideal meal traditionally said in the Japanese diet is one soup, two side dishes, and one staple food. Try to have a balanced menu regarding vitamins, protein, and iron.

80% eating
To prevent excessive calorie intake and saccharification, remember to “hold down at the 80 % of the stomach“. To “hold down on 80% of your stomach”, eating three meals at a fixed time in a day is essential, and eating slowly and chewing well will help you.

Anti-aging through diet

What we eat makes our body. A balanced diet is vital to stay healthy and youthful. If you want to keep young skin forever, let’s start with “diet to anti-aging.”

Take a Japanese anti-aging secret through a natural supplement!

5 Anti-aging Foods

You will see tons of anti-aging secrets in shops from cosmetics to supplements to exercise classes. But the most essential base is simply the foods you take. Today we introduce you 5 anti-aging foods, and one more from the Japanese diet.

1. Banana

Banana is a food rich in B vitamins. Many of the B vitamins are involved in various metabolisms.

2. Salmon

Astaxanthin contained in salmon has an antioxidant effect. We can expect it to suppress oxidative stress, which is the cause of aging.

3. Citrus fruits

The third of the 5 anti-aging foods is a very common one. Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C has a high antioxidant effect. We can expect it to prevent cancer and improve immune function.

4. Avocado

Avocados are rich in vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin E suppresses active oxygen that causes aging.

5. Almonds

Almonds, like avocados, are rich sources of vitamin E. Vitamin E not only has an antioxidant effect but also promotes blood circulation and increases metabolism. We can expect it to prevent skin aging and improve coldness and stiff shoulders.

Additional: Soybean food

After the above 5 anti-aging foods, I like to introduce you one fantastic food. You may not have a habit of eating soybean. But it is one of the staples in Japan. Japanese people are known for their excellent health, like long life expectancy and low breast cancer onset ratio.
Soybeans contain soybean saponin, which has an antioxidant effect, soybean lecithin, which lowers total cholesterol; and oligosaccharides, which increase the beneficial bacteria in the intestine.

You can take the soy’s health essence through a natural supplement!

Please let us introduce one amazing review in Amazon, who took the same health secret as Japanese women through Juveriente®’s EFFISOY®. Very long, sorry, but she expressed her super joy with full of texts. (This is about her menopause symptom, but it also helps other difficulties by aging even after the menopause age. )

“ I Am Now Free of Hot Flashes!!: I am 49 years old and was thrown into surgical menopause after very large cysts were found on both of my ovaries and I was forced to have a complete hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. I began having symptoms immediately which compounded my difficult recovery from surgery since I had to have a vertical incision laparotomy. Hot flashes were so intense that I slept in just my hospital gown, no blankets and a fan pointed at me all day and night. When I came home it wasn’t better. I was having flashes every 30-45 minutes. It was torture. I started watching YouTube videos about hysterectomies before my surgery so I had a frame of reference. While watching I came across a naturopathic doctor who specializes in women’s health. She had very specific suggestions for dealing with the various symptoms of menopause. For hot flashes, she recommended Effisoy. There were no reviews (remark: in 2019) anywhere on the internet but I was desparate and bit the bullet. After about 2 weeks I felt like maybe the flashes were letting up but I couldn’t tell. Then about 2 days ago I was watching a movie with my husband and I sprang up and said, “I haven’t had one hot flash today!” I was convinced after saying it out loud I would jinx myself. Well, I’m three days now free of hot flashes. I immediately ordered another bottle of Effisoy and just got it in the mail (thank you Amazon Prime 1 day shipping!). I would highly recommend trying this if you are suffering with hot flashes. But be patient and don’t miss a day. It took nearly a whole bottle to work for me. I was 100% faithful at taking it every day just after breakfast. I won’t be without it now. For those worried about the soy in this, this soy is a fermented soy germ. Not the adulterated American soy that has been the center of controversy for women’s health products.”

Sleep and bone health

The growth hormone secreted during sleep affects bone growth and repair.

Sleep is necessary to maintain physical and mental health. If you do not get enough sleep, both in quality and quantity, you will experience various problems, such as feeling unrefreshed, lacking attention, and sluggish. But that’s not all. Sleep and bone health have a critical relation.
During sleep, our body secretes various hormones.
Growth hormone promotes growth in the body and acts directly on the bones to make them grow stronger. They say that “a child who sleeps will grow.” Good sleeping will secrete growth hormones well and develop children’s bones thicker and bigger.

Deep sleep is the key to growth hormone secretion and bone health

Sleep occurs because the brain, being active during the day, gets tired and rests. Seeing, speaking, thinking, and moving your limbs are all controlled by your brain. The brain, which operates at total capacity during the day, consumes energy the more it is used and needs sleep to rest. Sleeping helps your brain recover from fatigue, allowing you to work harder the next day.

On the other hand, there is a phenomenon in which people naturally become sleepy at night, even when they are not so tired. The reason is that your body clock tells you it is time to sleep because it is night. In our body, two types of autonomic nerves, the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve regulate various body functions. The sympathetic nervous system works during the day to increase body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, etc., making it easier to be active. At night, the parasympathetic nervous system lowers these to relax and rest the body. The body clock regulates such body rhythms. When you wake up in the morning, you will reset your body clock to occur the next sleepiness 14 to 16 hours later.

During sleep, deep sleep (non-REM sleep) for resting the brain and light sleep (REM sleep) to rest your muscles alternate. In good sleep, non-REM sleep, which is deep sleep, accounts for 70 to 80% and appears in the first half of sleep. Your body will secrete a large amount of growth hormone at this time. Thus it is crucial to take a good deep sleep for bone health.

Exercise for your bone health!

Build strength and balance with your bones.

When you put a moderate load (pressure) on your bones through exercise, the cells that form the bones are activated. It makes it easier for calcium to deposit in the bones. On the other hand, if the state of lack of exercise continues, calcium will be easier to dissolve from the bones to make them weaker. Do exercise for your bone health!

Recommended exercises: walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, tennis, table tennis, gateball and gymnastics.

In addition, exercise also strengthens muscles and balance and prevents falls and fractures. A moderate exercise habit is essential to prevent osteoporosis.

Start from walking

When people who don’t exercise regularly or older people suddenly start vigorous exercise, there is a risk of injury or accidents. Moderate exercise is an effective way to prevent osteoporosis and maintain good health. Never overdo it.
Walking is a simple and safe exercise. Aim to walk 1,000 more steps a day than you do now. Exercise for your bone health is easy by starting from such a light one.

Can you get exercise from doing housework for your bone health?

Exercise habits are the habits of moving your body. You can expect great results from your daily housework. Cleaning, washing clothes, putting up and taking down bedding, shopping, etc., are excellent exercises. They put a moderate load on your bones. If you can strengthen your bones by doing daily housework, you can kill two birds with one stone.

Natural and safe supplements will support your bone health additionally.

Here comes the sun, Vitamin D!

An essential nutrient to maintain healthy bones

We can’t produce most of the so-called “vitamins” such as vitamins A and C in our bodies. So we must take them from external sources such as meals.
We take vitamin D from foods, too. For example, from fish, egg yolks, and mushrooms such as dried shiitake and cloud ear mushrooms.
However, we can also produce it in our bodies when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, vitamin D is also known as the “sunshine vitamin.” Here comes the sun, Vitamin D!
The intaken and produced Vitamin D is metabolized in the liver and kidneys and converted to the active form of vitamin D, which exerts its effects.

Health benefits

Its effect is calcium metabolism and action on bone. Active vitamin D helps absorb calcium, which is a material for bones, and when calcium intake is insufficient, it works to reabsorb calcium from urine. It also regulates calcium deposition in bones and promotes bone formation. Calcium comes first when we think of nutrients essential for bone health. But calcium is used efficiently with the help of vitamin D.
In recent years, there has been growing interest in other benefits, such as preventing flu by increasing immunity, preventing falls, strengthening muscles, and preventing cancer and allergic diseases like hay fever.

You need sunbathing

Vitamin D is produced by the body when exposed to sunlight
Subcutaneous fat under our skin contains a type of cholesterol, which is the source of vitamin D. When this cholesterol is exposed to UV light, a chemical reaction occurs to produce vitamin D.
Prolonged vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets (osteomalacia in adults). It’s a condition in which the bones become soft due to a lack of calcium, which constitutes the bones. We used to think of it as a disease in the past, but rickets has become a problem in recent years due to malnutrition and lack of sun exposure in some infants.
The negative aspects of ultraviolet rays, such as skin troubles like spots, wrinkles, and skin cancer, are often emphasized too much, but sunbathing is essential to maintain strong bones.

Let’s take sunbathing and increase your vitamin D

Like calcium, vitamin D is a nutrient that tends to be deficient. Especially in the elderly, the ability to create and activate vitamin D in the skin tends to decline. Changes in her lifestyle, such as eating less food, going out less often, and getting less exposure to the sun, can also make her vitamin D deficient.
Also, even if you are young, people who always wear sunscreen, hats, parasols, etc., should take precautions against UV rays. The amount of vitamin D produced in the skin through exposure to sunlight is greater than the amount obtained through food intake. So, a lifestyle that avoids exposure to ultraviolet rays to the extreme can lead to vitamin D deficiency.

To supplement vitamin D, try to spend about 1 hour in winter and 30 minutes in the shade of a tree in summer. When you sunbathe, your brain will secrete a substance called “serotonin.” It will provide you stress relief, concentration improvement, and brighter feeling. Stay active in the sun to keep your bones healthy.
Here comes the sun, Vitamin D!!

You can also take vitamin D through supplements.

Juveriente’s Bone Strength Complex will provide you vitamin D among its vitamin set for bone health while it also helps your bone health from the cellular level. (Learn about it more here.)

Phosphoric acid and bone health

Phosphorus is vital for your health

Phosphoric acid and bone health have a close link. Phosphorus is an element that plays a vital role in the body. Phosphorus exists as kinds of phosphate, which is phosphoric acid salt.
Almost all phosphorus in the body combines with oxygen to form phosphate. Phosphorus is one of the body’s electrolytes, a mineral that becomes charged when dissolved in fluids such as blood, but most phosphorus in the body is uncharged.

Phosphoric acid and bone health

Bones contain about 85% of the phosphorus in the body. The rest are mainly inside the cell and are involved in energy production. Phosphorus is an essential substance for the formation of bones and teeth. It is also a building block of several vital substances, such as the substances cells use to make energy, cell membranes, and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Foods to contain phosphorous

Phosphorus is obtained from food and excreted in the urine and sometimes in the stool. How much is excreted in the stool depends on how much you absorb from foods. In this talk about the phosphoric acid and bone health, you will like to know what food contains it richly. They are milk, egg yolks, chocolate, and soft drinks.

Hypophosphatemia

A condition in which the concentration of phosphorus in the blood is deficient.
Phosphorus is one of the body’s electrolytes, a mineral that becomes charged when dissolved in fluids such as blood while most phosphorus in the body is uncharged.

Hypophosphatemia may be acute or chronic.

acute hypophosphatemia

In acute hypophosphatemia, the phosphorus level in the blood suddenly drops to dangerous levels. Acute hypophosphatemia can develop in people who are recovering from conditions such as

Severe undernutrition (such as starvation)
diabetic ketoacidosis
severe alcoholism
severe burns
A sudden drop in phosphorus levels can lead to arrhythmias and death.

chronic hypophosphatemia

In chronic hypophosphatemia, her phosphorus levels in the blood decrease over time. Chronic hypophosphatemia usually results from excessive phosphate excretion. Causes include:

hyperparathyroidism
chronic diarrhea
Long-term use of diuretics
Long-term use of large doses of aluminum antacids
Use of high doses of theophylline (used to treat asthma)

Take Phosphorous from Juveriente® Bone Strength Complex!

You can also take care of phosphoric acid and bone health through supplements. Juveriente’s Bone Strength Complex will provide you phosphorous in shape of Tricalcium Phosphate among its vitamin set for bone health while it also helps your bone health from the cellular level. (Learn about it more here.)

Vitamin D deficiency and bone density

Middle-aged and older women are more likely to develop osteoporosis due to a rapid bone density decline in female hormones. And even the younger generation tends to have less bone density buffer due to lifestyle changes. Here I like to talk about the vitamin D deficiency and bone density.

Bones not only support the body but are also closely related to the functions of internal organs, such as the flexibility of blood vessels, the ability to lower blood sugar, and the work of the kidneys. From the beauty viewpoint, the bones in the face decrease, and it causes “sagging and wrinkles” and affects the “appearance impression.” Keeping your bones healthy is good for your body and appearance.

Calcium has a strong image of nutrients that are good for bones, but I recommend (1) vitamin D, (2) calcium, and (3) vitamin K in that order. Vitamin D deficiency and bone density have a strong relation. Calcium cannot be absorbed sufficiently into the bones with low vitamin D.

What foods contain vitamin D? Rich in fish and mushrooms. Cloud ear mushrooms, maitake mushrooms, and sun-dried shiitake mushrooms contain it richly. However, eating fish is overwhelmingly efficient. You should eat one piece of fish a day. It also helps prevent arteriosclerosis.

Vitamin D strengthens the bones and the immune system, strengthening muscles and preventing falls. I continue to take vitamin D and live with an awareness of “bone activity” and “immunity enhancement.”

I often make steamed salmon and mushrooms in foil. Sprinkle some soy sauce and sake on the raw salmon, put your favorite mushrooms and butter on top, cover with foil, and steam in a walnut frying pan for about 15 minutes. Add ponzu sauce if you like. It’s so easy and helpful!

You can also take vitamin D through supplements. Juveriente’s Bone Strength Complex will provide you vitamin D among its vitamin set for bone health while it also helps your bone health from the cellular level. (Learn about it more here.)
