About nutrition

Q. If you have any precautions

regarding food additives, pleaseadvise.

A. Since food additives are contained in most products
sold at supermarkets and convenience stores, it isdifficult to avoid them completely, but I would
like to tell you the points to keep them as low aspossible.
Point1
Choose a product by looking at the raw material
label without being confused by the convenience ofthe seller!
・Low cost and mass-production is possible byusing additives without difficulty and time.
There are good reasons for cheap things.
・ Be careful conversely when "additive-free" or"preservative-free“ are displayed and confirm
the display. Another additives that have thesame effects might be added.
Point2Think out how to avoid ingesting as much as
possible and take out even if you ingested!
・Boiling processed products such as
ham and bacon about 10 seconds before eating
can remove additives such as phosphates andcoloring agents considerably.
・ Taking in dietary fiber (vegetables, seaweed,mushrooms) and fermented foods (pickled bran, miso,natto, etc.) a good amount make your intestines
regulated and raise their excretion and immune
function.
If you get nervous, you won't know what to eat, butthese have the great advantage of preventing foodaddiction.
Since they will make your life more convenient andenriched, so let’s get along them well.

About body

Q. What are measures to prevent dementia? It would
be grateful if you could advise me what kind oflife I should lead and about what kind of things
I should be careful in daily life ?

A. It is said that 40% of the causes of dementia
can be corrected by improving life. In middleage (45-65 years old), high blood pressure,heavy drinking of alcohol, obesity, etc. arerecognized as the causes. Another cause ishearing loss and head trauma.
From the perspective of preventing dementia,
it is important to prevent lifestyle-relateddiseases and prevent obesity.
Also, as we get older, social isolation also
leads to a decline in cognitive function, so
starting to participating various communities
from now on may also lead to its prevention.

Q. I wanted to know the cause of the rapid rise in neutral fat.
A. Neutral fat tends to be affected by diet.
Therefore, if you eat a high-fat diet or
consume excessive alcohol the day before
the test, it may rise sharply. Inaddition, eating more than needed or
gaining weight suddenly is also a causeof the increase.
If you can't think of any other reason,
or if the neutral fat value don't changeeven though you improve your life,
illness may be hidden. To be on the safe
side, it may be a good idea to go to theinternal medicine / endocrine department
to check your physical condition.

About teeth and mouthQ. Is it okay to brush my teeth immediately after eating?
If not okay, how much time should I wait?

A.

Whether or not brushing your teeth immediately after eating
depends on the condition of your mouth and your eating
habits. As mentioned in the lecture, the mouth becomes
acidic after eating. Therefore, if you feel uneasy aboutbrushing your teeth immediately after eating, it is a goodidea to rinse your mouth with water or tea for the time
being and brush after some interval.
It is said that plaque can be formed about 8 hours aftereating, and the adhesive strength gradually increases in
the process of its formation. As time goes by, it becomes
harder to remove, so it is not good to take too longinterval after eating.
Some people may be able to brush their teeth immediately
after eating, while others may be advised to take ainterval. If you want to take the interval, though it is arough guide, I think it would be good if you could polishyour teeth within 30 minutes to 1 hour after eating.

About mental health
Q. Though not a question, I'm always worried if Ican tolerate the stress.

A.

By reading the beginning of your writing “Though not a question"
I felt you have something about which you think you should not say
here or which is hard to say, and I also felt your painfulness of "I
can't tell it to anyone, but I want someone to hear me“.
Thank you for your courage to ask me a question.
Perhaps you have the growing painfulness, anxiety, and helpless which
are rising in you and you also have the uncontrollable fear as well.
Do you have anyone around you who you can consult with?
You might not able to make it open to him/her because you are keeping
too close relationship with him/her. If you do not mind, pleasecontact a nurse at workplace or the Mental Health Counseling Room of
the Bosch Health Insurance Society. I think there may be possibility
that you can tell more easily since they are a little far away fromyou.
