心身の健康は、基本を守る生活から

2022-01-07 18:16:29 | エッセイ

規則正しい生活。。。。昔、幼少の頃、特にteenagerのころ母によく言われた言葉である。
人間は、目的、目標があれば生活が活性化してくる。その目的、目標がほんの小さなことでも、つまらないことでもかまわない。それがあることで、生活にリズム感が入ってくる。アメリカ人はスケジュールが好きであるから、何時に起床、散歩、サークルに参加、などなど、いろいろ生活に色をつけている。社会と接触の多い場合はそれが安易である。自分の意志もそれほど必要なく、そのリズムに乗っている。難しいのは、社会とのつながりが少なくなった時である。そのときこそ健康管理、生活管理の全責任が自分にかかってくる。年をとって、今まで何をして居たのかと疑いたくなる人もいる。自分の健康管理が出来ない人が多い。医者がすべての責任を負ってくれるものと期待をする人が多い。若い頃から健康管理の知識は心がけて探求すべきである。

その第一は、規則正しい生活である。十分な休養を入れたスケジュールは必然である。
第二は、食生活である。今氾濫しているダイエット情報などに惑わされる必要は無い。暴飲暴食はしない。自然食品の摂取。ファーストフードは避ける。時間を掛けて、楽しい食事をする。健康の大部分は口から入るものに左右されるのである。
第三は、自然と仲よくする。私たちは社会に流され続けて居る。ビルデングや電気器具や人工的なものに流され続けている。自然を忘れてはならない。心身の健康は自然と仲良くすることによって、回復、修復、維持されるということを忘れてはならない。(続く)

日本のコロナ対策は甘くて遅すぎる

Go to travel 等はコロナ菌をばら撒く対策だった。経済優先で、結局は感染者は激増している。ヨーロッパの国々は、税金は30%に近いが、こういう時の徹底的対策には効果が出る。国民の生活を守りきれる。
日本の国民は税率の引き上げに反対が多かったが、自身の生活基盤にしか意識が無く、社会性の認識が低かったのではなかったか?
人間は判断を任せられると自身の基準は下がりがちである。アメリカは禁じられるのが原則であるので分かりやすい。罰則は処分を課せられる。一斉に事が進む。迅速である。

The biggest thing is finding life is enjoyable.

Midnight

Most of the midnight I stay up for a couple of hours. Checking recorded tv programs and internet are the first thing I do. Placing back washed dishes and pans are next things to do. Sometimes fill my stomach with crackers or small instant noodlese for making myself sleep
Checking weather and my daily schedule are also adtion. When feeling sleepy starts, blashing teeth is helping to induce to better sleeping. Surrounded with quiet and calming stomosphre is my favorite time.

Contacting my friends

I made 4 phone calls yesterday. Since this colona session started I have isolated myself. I found out one person affected by corona and wating for being discharged from recovery center soon.

TV showing a old movie " The way we were" made in 1973 when just one year before I came to USA. The time the story was on was 1930 to 1950. 

I am not talking about this movie. The movie brought me back was memory where I was. It has been 47 years since I came to USA. My history has been still moving on. I am 78 years old now ans realize I have lived for a long time in this world. Always thinking is how I die. My two children are early 40 th and they love me very much. We have a good relationship and we are happy about it. Especially this difficult time our band has been tight and established well. I live my life with my own way  blavely and strongly. My action has been quick as my idea. I trust myself and my ideas. I see the result and get more ideas come up. I folow my ideas and  act.

I decided staying home.
