[Immune power up information] Food education that thinks from the mouth ⑩
[Immune power up information] We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing. The 26th installment will introduce an article on food education from the "Musubi Magazine October 6 issue". (12 times in total). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feed baby food to feed predators A first-grade teacher who watched the video said, "It's a slow eating method for children." Mr. Okazaki asked the teacher to record a video of the "slow-eating child" blowing out a candle.Then, instead of pursed her lips and saying "whoo", she kept her mouth wide open and blowing on her with "ha".The fire didn't go out the first time, but it did go out the second time. Of course, he is a normal child, but Mr. Okazaki, who watched the video, said, "The things that should be developed normally are not developed in ordinary children. It is important to properly nurture the function of the mouth." One of the “oral functions that should be developed” that Mr. Okazaki points out is moving the lips. Because she doesn't try to stretch her lips (especially her upper lip), she can't easily extinguish the candle. Mr. Okazaki thinks that the reason why this happened is that when giving baby food to the child, he put the baby food in his mouth so that it was easy to swallow.There is no need to extend the upper lip once it is in your mouth. In order to make the upper lip grow, instead of putting the baby food in the mouth, stop when the baby food is slightly in front of the mouth and let the child take it. will begin to purse their lips and stretch their lips. That's how they get the predation they need before chewing. "I think that just doing this will reduce mouth breathing even more."
Improve mouth breathing with Aiube exercises Another key to improving mouth breathing is the tongue. Let's get the baby to take baby food When you encourage predation, you try to round not only the lips but also the tongue.It also develops tongue muscles and prevents mouth breathing. The muscles involved in tongue movement are connected not only in the mouth but also in the neck.When the muscles of the tongue develop, the neck will be able to sit. Normally, when you are asleep, your tongue should rest against the roof of your mouth, which is the roof of your mouth. There is an effective way to improve snoring and mouth breathing by keeping your tongue firmly up.That is the “Aiube exercise” devised by Mr. Kazuaki Imai, the director of Mirai Clinic. As introduced in the July XNUMX issue of this magazine, they open their mouths wide, making "ah", "i", and "uh", and finally stick out their tongue and repeat a series of "beh" movements. When I asked the participants to do the "Aiube exercise" XNUMX times at the lecture venue, the number of people who said that their tongues were lifted up and stuck to their palate increased.The action of sticking out the tongue and returning it also stimulates the secretion of saliva.
