Ｆｒｏｍ Ｍｕｒａｏ－ｓａｎ

皆さんこんにちわ!!!

海・川・山ありで自然環境抜群の北陸、福井県の田舎では、稲刈りも終わり

今は、そばの花が満開になってます。

そばの栽培の歴史は古く、奈良時代にはすでに行われていたそうです。

そばには、夏そば、秋そばに分けられて、一般的には、「新そば」と呼ばれ

るのはこの収穫したばかりの「秋そば」のことだそうです。

新そばは、10月初旬から年内いっぱい。この時期なら風味のよい新そば

が味わえます。

そばには、さまざまな病気を引き起こす活性酸素を除去する働きのあるポリフェノール。

そばポリフェノールは、脳の記憶細胞が死滅するのを防ぎ、記憶力の向上させる効果が高い。

生活習慣病やガンの予防、ボケ防止など、長寿食としてもそばの効果は高いそうです。

(ある文献より)

そこで、越前おろしそばは、少し黒っぽくて素朴な雰囲気のそばにダシとピリット辛味のある

大根おろしをたっぷりかけた逸品。

SA (11)

Those who participate in social activities or groups seem to experience the same protective benefits as those who exercise, according to the study. Those who participated in work or volunteer activities were less likely to show physical decline as they aged, and so were those who socialized regularly with friends.

Successful Aging (10)

The key components of successful aging were exercise, social engagement, and a positive mental attitude. These factors predict better cognitive and physical functioning in both older and younger people. Getting together with friends while engaging in physical activity seems to provide "double bonus points" of protection against physical and cognitive decline.

年齢の嘘（うそ） No3

成功加齢　Successful Aging

1. 病気や障害を避ける・病気や障害のリスクをできるだけ小さくすることは、生涯にわたって大切。病気を予防するには、病気そのものに先立つ兆候や検査結果にこれまで以上に注意を払うこと。

1. 心身の機能を保つ・・・身体機能を維持するのには、体に何か働きかけること。知的能力を保てるかどうかは肉体の健康状態に左右される。

1. 積極的に社会とかかわる・・・新しい友人を見つけ、活動の中心を有償労働から有益なボランティア活動に切り替え、欠かさず運動し、増えた余暇を楽しむ。

テニスコートにいる、多くの方々が実行されているように、思えます。
高齢になってから、始めるのではなく若いころからの準備期間も大切です。
