I received information about how to ameliorate adult disease at a dentist where I go to
on a regular basis. It carried some articles but didn’t one about teeth at all.
Today, among them, I would like to introduce “Resistant starch” which is the term
I have not heard of before.
“Resistant starch” cannot be digested easily.
For example, cold rice is resistant starch. Resistant starch acts like alimentary fiber,
is not digested in the stomach and the intestine, goes straight to the large intestine,
reduce blood cholesterol and blood sugar elevation, improve fat metabolism and intestinal environment. It produces power which lacks in hot rice.
Considering nutritional value, rice balls of brown rice are the best, and sushi or
cold soba noodles are also good. That means, a specialty of Fukui Prefecture “Echizen Oroshi Soba” (cold buckwheat noodles with grated radish) must be beneficial to health.
As for other carbohydrate food, it seems better if you eat more cold ones,
such as cold udon(wheat noodles), cold thin wheat noodles, cold ramen and spaghetti.
Speaking of cold rice, you have to chow more as it is firmer than hot rice,
so I think that you may be able to gain a feeling of fullness more easily.
Cold rice diet is worth trying, isn’t it? (H.S)
Having scalp care or head massage treatment at beauty salons are so comfortable,
aren’t they? It really is a blissful time.
But if you are too busy to go or think it costs money,
you can do by yourself with camellia oil.
[How to]
Pour one or two teaspoons of the camellia oil into your hand
Apply it evenly and gently to your dry scalp with balls of your fingers
before shampoo
Conscious of the scalp and not hair
↓
Steep for five minutes
(I cover hair with a shower cap and soak in the bathtub in that time)
↓
Rinse hair and scalp thoroughly with warm water
↓
Shampoo your scalp well
(If you don’t feel refreshed yet, you can shampoo once more)
↓
Dry your hair with a drier
(You should dry from roots to tips like like you blow down)
(If you upward from below, your hair gets dry and spread)
Scalp gets dirty easily and you cannot wash away with only shampoo.
Camellia oil is genltle, which contains the same constituent as skin oil,
mild and above dirts naturally. Camellia oil contains much olein acid than
olive oil, so benefits can be expected on your scalp and hair.
For the care, once a week is enough.
A bottle of the camellia oil is about 1,000 yen level and you can use it several times.
It is said that scalp and your face skin is single skin.
If you care your scalp well, you can lift your face up also. (H.S)
While doing Yoga, steady your breath by breathing easily and deeply.
Stretch your body and make it relax, as like you are a jelly fish.
Stay in a pose to develop the inner muscle
and increase muscle strength.
Yoga is effective for
improving your postures,
keeping yourself in shape,
enhancing your beauty,
reducing shoulder and neck stiffness,
maintaining your physical health,
keeping your mind healthy
and everything between.

*“Gheranda Samhita (Sanskrit gheraṇḍasaṁhitā घेरंडसंहिता ) meaning “Gheranda's collection” is one of the three classic texts of hatha yoga (the other two being the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Shiva Samhita). It is a late 17th-century text and is considered to be the most encyclopedic of the three classic texts on hatha yoga.
Gheranda Samhita is a manual of yoga taught by Gheranda to Chanda Kapali. Unlike other hatha yoga texts, the Gheranda Samhita speaks of a sevenfold yoga:
1. Shatkarma for purification
2. Asana for strengthening
3. Mudra for steadying
4. Pratyahara for calming
5. Pranayama for lightness
6. Dhyana for perception
7. Samādhi for isolation”
