It plays a central role in “health promotion activities” and plays a central role in promoting local health promotion or as a partner in administrative health promotion measures.
We are engaged in activities to support health promotion in the lifestyle-related diseases prevention and other regions.

"Nordic Tamapla" was established mainly by the Utsukushigaoka District Health Activity Promotion Committee with the aim of maintaining the health of the elderly in the community. I work twice a month (every Friday).

This time, it was a course with Mizusawa Forest as its destination.

We left Utsukushigaoka Park, passed through the residential area, entered Sugao Ryokuchi, walked along the green promenade, and entered the forest of Mizusawa. In the forest of Mizusawa, I was able to see the flowers of Shimotsukeso, the flowers of Park trees, and the young walnuts. After resting in the forest of Mizusawa, we passed in front of the sixth park and returned to the rocket house at Utsukushigaoka Park, the departure place before 12:00. There were small exchanges with nursery school children and people from Neighborhood Association in some places. The participants on this day were over 60 years old and about 10 men and women. Everyone was fine and a pleasant walk while chatting.

Walking while talking activates the brain and helps prevent frail in a fun way. In addition, as one of the measures to prevent heat stroke, you can build a body that can sweat.

Recently, the participation of men is decreasing, so we are waiting for men to participate!

The Kamitanimoto District Health Activity Promotion Committee is holding monthly walking. No application is required, and people outside the district can participate freely. Bring clothes, footwear, and drinks suitable for walking, and participate in the course according to your leg strength. In June, "Naruse ridge green road and Midoriyama course" was a walk of about 3 hours. The next event is scheduled to be held in October.

In the Yamauchi west area, "cogni size" is performed. Use your head and body to activate your brain and maintain your health while having fun! It is very popular with those who participated, and we have prepared a stamp card so that you can continue actively. We are working to help with health promotion through "cogni size".
