[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 21st installment introduces a lecture by Mr. Masashi Watanabe from the "Musubi Magazine April 3 issue" special feature "Medicine and Food Health Forum". (XNUMX times in total). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 53Diagnosed with diabetes at age XNUMX. Overcome by improving diet and exercising Mr. Watanabe first talked about his experience of overcoming diabetes by improving his eating habits and exercising. Watanabe, born in XNUMX, was diagnosed with diabetes when53when I was old.It was about twenty-two years ago. At the time, Dr. Watanabe, who was the director of the National Cancer Center's epidemiology department, said he often ate steak and gained weight.78There were also kilos.However, one day I lost XNUMX kilograms, so I suspected pancreatic cancer. The result of the diagnosis is diabetes, not pancreatic cancer.His fasting blood sugar level was as high as XNUMX milligrams per XNUMX milliliters of blood. So, I wanted to see how much I could heal with diet and exercise, so I started walking two subway stations every day and eating regularly. We also reviewed the menu, and changed it to focus on Japanese food so that the daily intake is within XNUMX kilocalories. "After about a year, all the test values returned to normal. My blood sugar level was around XNUMX, and my high blood pressure and fatty liver were cured." The book "Diabetes can be cured without medicine" (Kadokawa Shoten), which describes the experience of overcoming diabetes, is a long-selling book with XNUMX editions.
40National Medical Expenditure Exceeds Trillion Yen Potential Patients XNUMX Million? Mr. Watanabe, who overcame diabetes through diet and exercise, is trying to reduce medical expenses as a doctor. National medical expenses in Heisei25In the year40It has surpassed the trillion yen mark and continues to grow. "Actually, if you add nursing care insurance and medical expenses in the welfare budget,50?60It will amount to trillion yen.Unless we do something about this, Japan will not survive," he expressed his sense of crisis. According to an announcement by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare last year, the number of potential patients who have symptoms but have not been diagnosed with a disease is XNUMX million for hypertension, XNUMX million for dyslipidemia, XNUMX million for diabetes, and XNUMX million for diabetes. XNUMX million people suffer from insomnia, and XNUMX million people suffer from osteoporosis, asthma, depression, and dementia, which easily exceeds the population of Japan. "So everyone in the population has more than one disease." Health care costs can be greatly reduced if more people stay healthy.Therefore, Mr. Watanabe is paying attention to the response to "me-byo".
Abnormal test values or symptoms are non-disease Early treatment is a real illness If there are no abnormal test values and no symptoms, it is defined as "healthy", and if abnormal test values are observed and there are symptoms, it is defined as "sick". Me-byo is between health and illness. It will be easier to understand if you think of a case where you have either abnormal test values or symptoms, such as "abnormal test values but no symptoms" or "abnormal test values but no symptoms" (Figure XNUMX). See left. After showing these categories, Mr. Watanabe explained how to approach ME-BYO. “According to current Western medical thinking, all pre-symptomatic people become ill after a certain period of time, so treatment begins when they are pre-symptomatic. As soon as you say you're a little sleep-deprived or mildly depressed, you're given a psychotic drug, and when you take those drugs, the disease takes hold and becomes a real disease." Western preventive medicine for early detection and treatment has been touted, but Dr. Watanabe argued that pre-symptomatic disease can turn into a real disease (see Fig. XNUMX).
Bringing back to health based on food, mind, and body What Mr. Watanabe advocates is “healing disease,” which does not turn pre-blight into illness, but restores it to health (see the right side of Figure XNUMX).The cure disease is to aim for health by the method of integrative medicine that achieves spiritual life based on "food, mind and body". What is spiritual life?10According to the Japan Policy Research Center, "It is not a religion, but a holistic way of life that has been pursued by people of all ages and countries." It means "a way of life". “The idea is that it might be better to try for a year or two to get back to good health before going to medical care.” According to Mr. Watanabe, there are about six centers in China called ``uncured disease centers'', and they are achieving results by combining diet therapy, exercise therapy, spa therapy, and natural therapy.
