Story
「健康になるために何をしたらいいのかわからない」と困った顔をされたとき、私はまず、「幼稚園か保育園に通っていましたか?」と聞きます。そして、そこで教わったことを思い出してみてください……と言うのです。 小さい頃これらの施設に通っていなくても、小学校で「保健だより」なんて名前のプリントをもらっていたりしたと思います。そこに書かれていた生活指導や衛生教育の内容を思い出してみましょう。 「早寝早起き朝ご飯」「手洗いうがい」「お風呂に入ろう」「おやつは三時」「歯磨きをしよう」「ハンカチちり紙を持とう」「食事はバランス良く」「衣服の調整をしよう」などなど。みなさん覚えがあるのではないでしょうか。保健室の壁新聞なんかも、目にしたことがあるんじゃないかしら。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

Story
添加物はそんなに気にしなくても大丈夫……って書いたけど、じゃあなんで私が加工食品ばっかりじゃダメ、できるだけ自分でご飯を作って食べてっていうのでしょうか。じつは添加物なんかよりも大きな問題が加工食品や安いファストフードにはあります。それは、カロリーと栄養バランスと、味付けです。 まずカロリーね。同じ料理を外食やお弁当等の自炊以外で食べる場合と、自分で料理して食べる場合を比べると、自炊以外で調理された方が1.2~1.5倍のカロリーになるって言われているんです。 以前、この話を聞いて「うそでしょー」って私も思っていました。でも、あるお店のオムライスを再現しようとしてみて、使ったバターの量を見て納得しちゃいました。普通、オムライスの卵の部分を焼くとき使うのって、小さな個包装のバターが一個程度です。それが、お店の味にしようと思ったら、バターが三つも必要だったんです。 この話を知り合いのイタリアンシェフに話したら、鼻で笑われてしまいました。「先生、家庭料理とレストランの料理は違うから。俺達は、美味しさのために料理を作ってるのであって、健康になるための料理を作ってるわけじゃないからね」だそうです。至極当たり前のことなんだけど、なるほどこういうことかって思いました。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko...

Story
休診日前になると、結構夜中まで起きていて何かしら書いています。なんか飲んでることも多いです。こういう時、「あー、不養生バンザイ」って思うんですよね。夜中にワインボトルを脇に置いて原稿書きするの大好きです。たまに一本空けちゃったりして、そんでもって、2時頃寝るんですわ。スッゴイ不養生! 私は養生が第一だと思っていますが、それがすべてだとは考えていません。健康のためなら死んでもいいって人間じゃないのさ、私。不養生は、贅沢の一形態ではなかろうかと私は思うのです。 鍼灸医学のもっとも重要な古典であるといえる『黄帝内経(こうていだいけい)素(そ)問(もん)』の「上(じょう)古(こ)天真論(てんしんろん)篇」に書いてある文を、鍼灸師の卵とか同業の方も読んでらっしゃったら、「解釈違うよ!」って言われるかも知れませんが現代語訳します。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

Story
「どうして先生は食べることにそんなに重点をおかれるのですか?」と聞かれると、私自身が食いしん坊だから……と答えたくなってしまうのはさておき。「どうして」と聞かれるならどう答えようかな。生き物の体には、水と空気と並んで大切なものだと考えているからです。 睡眠や運動は多少足りなくても極端な健康障害は起こりませんが、水と空気と食事は、足りなくなれば命に直結するような障害が起こってきますよね。 「口を糊(のり)する」「食い扶持(ぶち)を稼ぐ」「生きる糧(かて)」「食べていかなきゃならない」なんて言葉があります。食べること=生きることと考えているから、こんな表現が生まれてくるのでしょう。 やはり古代の人々もそのように考えていたようで、命をつなぐものが食事である……ということから、食べ物に様々な効果効能を見つけ、それらは様々な書物として各文化圏に受け継がれてきています。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

Story
何をどう食べたらいいかわからないという相談を時々受けることがあります。ちゃんと食べるってどういうことなのかがわからないという相談もしばしば。食養生云々の前に、「ちゃんと」をまず整理してみましょう。 栄養学……「食養生」に熱心な人たちからは目の敵にされている学問かもしれません。 断食、玄米菜食、生食、少食、糖質制限……などなど、様々な食事のとり方が提唱されていますが、栄養学がある側面の真実を捉えているのは確かな事なのです。だいたい、みんな、最低限の栄養学の話すらちゃんと知らないと思うんです。 まずは必須カロリーについて知っておきましょう。必須カロリーとは、基礎代謝+一日の活動で使うエネルギー量で、これに相当する食事をとっていれば痩せもせず太りもしません。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

Story
何らかの病気を発症した場合、だいたい3日を限度に様子を見て、その後に病院へいくことが我が家での病院受診のルールになっています。もちろん、単なる風邪だと判断できる場合は、病院へ受診することはせず、漢方薬や鍼灸等で治してしまうんだけども。 私には5歳になる子どもがいますが、ちょっと大きな病気をして入院したことがあります。川崎病といって原因不明の病気で、全身の血管に炎症が起きて、場合によって心臓の冠動脈に瘤(こぶ)ができたり、心臓に水が溜まって死んでしまうことがある病気でした。 初期症状は風邪による高熱に似ていて、その後に頸(けい)部(ぶ)リンパ節の腫(は)れやその他の症状が現れてきます。こういう重(じゅう)篤(とく)な疾患(しっかん)って寝ていてもよくならずにだんだんと悪化していきます。どう考えても通常の風邪とは何かが違う、おかしい……と思える状態が現れてきます。こうなったら迷わず病院へ行きます。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

Story
「風邪を引いたら葛根湯」「風邪に改元」なんてCMを目にしたことがあるでしょう。「引いたらパブロン♪」なんてCMもありましたね。漢方薬ではない風邪薬、総合感冒薬は、効きません。断言しちゃいます。 あれらは風邪の症状を抑えているだけで、治すためには役に立ちません。熱や炎症をどうしても抑えたいなら消炎鎮痛剤だけを胃薬と一緒に飲んだほうが効きます。ただ、体の炎症はウィルスと戦っている証拠でもあり、それを抑えこんでしまうと症状はやわらぎますが、完治までの時間が長くなる傾向があります。 風邪にほんとうに効く薬が発見できたらノーベル賞モノだと言われ続けて幾星霜(いくせいそう)。ようやく、インフルエンザウィルスに対して効果があるタミフルやリレンザという治療薬ができたところです。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

Story
夏でも冬でも、シャワーだけですませて湯船を使わない人が増えていますね。最近の住宅事情がさらに湯船に浸からない人口を増加させている気がしないでもないです。 私が一人暮らしを始めたときも、ワンルームマンションで洗い場なし、バス・トイレ一緒の浴室でした。2年は住んでたと思う。でも、次に引っ越したときはバス・トイレ別の洗い場有り物件にしました。湯船なしが体にこたえたんだよねー。冷えるし、肩こりするし、リラックスできないし。 ■冷えも肩こりもお風呂で解消! シャワーのみ派が別に冷え性でもなんでもなければいいのですが、「手足が冷えます」「肩こりがあります」なんて方が多いように見受けられます。そんなとき私は「湯船に浸かってくださいね」って指導します。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

Story
この本でも「疲労回復」のお灸方法を紹介しましたが、疲れたら、頑張って休むこと。これ、大事です。体を休ませることで体内の気が充満して、暑かったり寒かったり、天気が荒れていても体力で乗りきれるんです。不意の寒さや暑さに身体がさらされても気力で対抗できるようにしておくのが一番の養生。 端的に言うと、しっかり寝ておくのが大事です。寝ている最中に臍(せい)下(か)丹(たん)田(でん)にある原(げん)気(き)の日中活動して減った分が補給されます。だから、寝不足が続くとあっという間に体調を崩してしまいます。 みんな睡眠の効果を甘くみていますよね。ちゃんと食べて眠れば大抵の不調はよくなります。不調を感じたら、「夜中の12時前には眠る」という普通の養生よりももっと早く眠ることが肝心。体調不良の場合は私は、夜9時過ぎには眠ってしまいます。やるべき家事があろうがなんだろうが、とにかく後回し。体調が回復すれば次の日に挽回できますからね。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

添加物関連で名指しにて批判される会社は大体決まっています。「山崎製パン」と「マクドナルド」と「コカ・コーラ」はその代表格ですね。山崎製パンに関してなんて、『ヤマザキパンはなぜカビないか』(渡辺雄二著・緑風出版)という書籍まで出版されている始末。添加物って、どのくらい気にしたらいいのか……ってみんなの大きな関心を集めているんだろうなと思います。 私の立場は、「極力摂取しないほうがいいに決まっているけど、完全に摂取をやめなければならないほど毒性があるものではない」です。この立場に至るには結構長い道のりがありました。(本文より)若林理沙の「鍼灸師が教える一人でできる養生法」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/wakabayashi.html

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
