[Immune power up information]
Recently, the new coronavirus has taken the world by storm.
In this corner, you can find information on how to build a body that can withstand corona,
We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing.
The 10th installment is an article on macrobiotic evidence from "Musubi Magazine June 8" (6 parts in total).

"Good for health" means "slow aging"
Toward the realization of healthy longevity
We use the words “good for health” and “bad” on a daily basis, but what does “good for health” mean?Mr. Sakuta judges whether it is "suppressing aging" or "promoting aging".
There is a word called anti-aging, but you can't turn the clock back.But we can slow the creeping pace of old age somewhat.
In other words, the question is what to do about "healthy aging", and as he says in his book, how to delay "aging" will lead to the realization of healthy longevity, which is a hot topic these days.
Inflammation is an indicator of aging.
Inflammation accelerates aging and causes disease
Inflammation occurs not only acutely due to trauma, but also chronically due to obesity and air pollution.Chronic inflammation is thought to promote the onset of aging-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia, type XNUMX diabetes, and cancer, which are more likely to occur with aging.
"Inflammation accelerates aging and increases the risk of aging-related diseases" ("How to eat to delay aging"), and this is called "inflammatory aging".For example, Mr. Sakuta says, "Diabetes is one of the diseases of aging."
In other words, how to "suppress inflammation" is the standard of "healthy" food.
In fact, in a study conducted in the United States, markers of inflammation (white blood cell count, CRP, etc.), markers of blood sugar (HbAXNUMXc), and obesity (BMI, etc.) were used to compare real age and biological age. , people who are prone to aging in one year1.2I was as old as I was.On the other hand, people who do not age easily will0.8I was only years older.
Diet affects aging
“It seems that biological age has a range of plus or minus XNUMX% compared to actual age.40age, biological48some people are old32Some are old.Then40at age32What can I do to keep my biological age?In a nutshell, suppressing inflammation slows down aging, so we should live in such a way,” says Sakuta.
"There are individual differences in the speed of aging, and it is related to diet" (from the same book)
So, what is a diet that reduces inflammation and slows aging?I would like to see it while comparing it with macrobiotics.
