Director General tile version July 2017 (Message from Director General)

Kanagawa Ward was born on October 1, 1927, when the city was established with Tsurumi Ward, Naka Ward, Hodogaya Ward and Isogo Ward. In the Kanagawa Ward 90th Anniversary Commemorative Project Executive Committee (Mitsuru Ito Executive Committee Chair), "Diseminate the appeal of the ward and rediscover the goodness of the ward", "A wide range of generations participate and strengthen connections", We carry out various commemorative projects based on the concept of "expanding the health movement aiming for a ward".
As part of the 90th anniversary commemorative project of the constituency system, we held "Kanagawa Waku Waku Health Festa" at Kanagawa Sports Center on Sunday, June 25.
Now that we have a long-lived society, extending the healthy life expectancy that allows them to live independently without relying on medical care and nursing care. In order to extend healthy life expectancy, it is important not only to promote health in the elderly, but also to work on health promotion according to the life stage throughout the life.
"Kanagawa Waku Waku Health Festa" is for children and the elderly to participate in and experience health promotion so that residents of the city can think about "health, beauty, and energy" of themselves and their families. It was implemented for.
On the day of the event, the entire building, including the three gymnasiums, training room, and lobby of the sports center, were used, and many related organizations became staff members, and visitors could enjoy health promotion happily.
In the first gymnasium, "Kame Taro Children's Gymnastics" was performed by preschool children and nursery teachers. "Kame Taro Children's Gymnastics" can be used to learn choreography on YouTube (YouTube), etc., so I hope you can use it to build a healthy body for many children.

In the lecture and practical skills section, Mr. Lattice Nakamura, a sports doctor, a visiting professor at Yokohama City University and a public relations ambassador for Yokohama Health Promotion, said in some lectures, "The child-rearing generation is beautiful and healthy!" In the second part of the lecture, he taught me about correct walking and radio exercises for adults with the theme of "I want to say I'm forever young!"

Subsequently, participants sweated in the “cogniize” practical instruction by Shigeko Takagaki, a health exercise instructor. "Cogni size" is expected to reduce the risk of dementia by training that stimulates the brain while exercising.
Between the lectures, first-time visitors were also enjoyed by experiencing the quoits, rolling, ladder games, etc. of "Refreshing Sports" that are useful for health promotion and friendship with the refreshing sports promotion committee members. .

In the second gymnasium, many people are interested in bone density, posture, body composition measurement and blood vessel age measurement by health activity promotion committee members, dietary education quizzes by health mates, nutritionists, dietary balance checks, advice from dental hygienists, etc. We had you participate in.

In the third gymnasium, sports center instructors introduced practical skills guidance on pole stretching and introducing old-fashioned play such as jumping ropes and rubber jumps, etc. I think that various generations could easily experience and learn about health promotion.
I think it would be wonderful if everyone who participated can practice various health promotions on their own while having fun and spreading it to family and acquaintances, the whole area will be fine.
We will continue to promote various health promotion initiatives on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the constituency system and aim for an increasingly energetic Kanagawa Ward. Many related organizations, including health activity promotion committee and healthmates, refreshing sports promotion committee, physical education association, local workplace for the disabled, become staff members, and raise interest in health toward inhabitants of the ward. The "Kanagawa Waku Waku Health Festa" was successfully held. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the people concerned.
