Hello! I'm a rat, Miko.
Today, I have participated in the Dementia Prevention Course, so I will report on the situation.
"Dementia" You hear this topic once a week.
There may be many people who think of it every day.
Reflecting that, the course is full! It was a popular course that some people were lost.

Lecturer is Chiaki Ura (Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Health and Longevity Medical Center), who has been active in many lectures.
Dr. Ura first said that nothing was proved to be 100% prevention of dementia.
However, it has been quite clear that it is effective to delay the onset of disease.
It's encouraging to be revealed just by delaying!
This is the main subject.
What I particularly wanted to know was "What should I start with?" "What is really effective?"
If you look at the book on prevention of dementia, you can see that
Medicine, exercise, travel, polyphenol, vegetables, conversation, brain training game, laughter, handicrafts, challenge to new things ...
When you start to list it, there is an endless amount of information.
But I don't know what's good.
What helped me to solve this is that dementia prevention behavior can be classified into two categories.
These two are a "physiological approach" to prevent damage to the brain's body, and a "cognitive approach" to maintain brain judgment.
If you divide the above example roughly, do you feel like this?
Physiological approach ⇒ Drugs (treatment of hypertension, etc.), exercise, polyphenols, vegetables
Cognitive approach ⇒ Travel, conversation, brain training game, laughter, handicrafts, challenge to new things
Finding what you can do from both, not on the other side. He said that if you only do one or two months, you will not keep up with the aging speed, so it is important to keep it for a long time.
It was easy to understand as an example of what can be continued is that if you are writing a household account book, it would be effective to write it out while remembering what you bought without looking at the receipt. In this case, you can do it without taking a new time, so it seems easy to continue.
In a physiological approach, the effectiveness of exercise is quite clear, and it seems that daily activities such as housework can be done.
And lastly, the most impressive thing was the keyword "Take iron while it's hot."
One of the characteristics of people who have continued for six months later is "the person who started immediately after hearing."
Everyone who participated in the course together, have you started something after that?
If you're motivated to start by reading this article, let's start together today!
・・What did I start? Next time, I will introduce you.
In the course of the main part, we had a lot of other data and developed a lecture that motivated me to start.
It was Chuo-ku Workers Service Corporation Let's Chuo, who hosted this course.

In the center of Let's, health seminars such as Pilates (July), pelvis stretching (October), and Qigong (March) will be held this year.
In addition, classrooms that are attracting attention now, such as fruit cutting classes (July) and icing cookie making classes (October), will be held exclusively for members.
If you work for a small and medium-sized business and live or work in Chuo-ku, please use it!
I also want to apply for a fruit cutting class and an icing cookie making class.
As mentioned above, she was a mice.
I hope you will have a happy day today!
