Finding a mistake for parents and children-Healthcare at home-
Last Updated October 30, 2024
The answer to finding a mistake
One-point explanation
Increase the calorie consumption by exercising while 1!
Stretching
When muscles become softer, blood flow improves and metabolism improves. ※It will increase. Whether you don't use muscles, use too much, or leave it used, they all shrink and become hard.
Stretch regularly as muscle shrinks metabolism decreases.
※Metabolism refers to activities in which sugar and neutral fat are taken in the blood and consumed as energy.
Muscle training
Increasing muscles can increase energy consumption and create a body that is less likely to gain weight.
Muscle training even for a short period of time reduces the risk of developing myocardial infarction, angina, cancer, and diabetes.
Even if you can't get a lot of time, do muscle training during the gap time and maintain a healthy body.
2 Both adults and children should use dental floss every day.
Even if you brush your teeth with a toothbrush alone, you can only drop about 60% of the plaque. By using tools such as dental floss and interdental brush, you can reduce the remaining brushing.
In order to reduce the remaining polishing, it is also important to look closely with the mirror after polishing.
Even if you brush your teeth every day, if you only use a toothbrush, the plaque left between your teeth will cause cavity, periodontal disease, and bad breath without noticing!
※Plaque is "white, cream-colored dirt on teeth, and bacterial lumps"
3 Understanding weight is the first step to health!
Even if you weigh too heavy or too light, the risk of getting sick increases. Your proper weight can be evaluated using BMI. (For those under 18 years of age, see the growth curve.)
"Obesity" is the source of lifestyle-related diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
In particular, high fat around the stomach can cause dyslipidemia and diabetes. Care must be taken because lifestyle-related diseases develops not only in adults but also in children.
Recently, thinness has also attracted attention, and lack of energy has had various effects, such as anemia and bone loss for both men and women, and in women, as well as menstruation and initial delay.
Understanding your weight for both adults and children is the first step in health management. Make a habit of putting on a scale at a fixed time every day.
4 If the toothbrush is not replaced once a month, the effect is reduced by half
If the tip of the toothbrush spreads, it becomes difficult to hit the teeth properly and cannot remove the plaque effectively. As a guide, if you look at the toothbrush from behind and see the tip of the hair popping out, it is the timing of replacement.
If you use it for about a month, you will not only get fine scratches on the tip of the hair and become unsanitary, but also lose elasticity, so you will not be able to remove dirt effectively.
5 Confectionery and juice should be less than 200kcal per day.
The sweets you eat while watching TV are delicious. But if you just eat too much, you will get over calories.
Be careful to keep sweets less than 200kcal a day. If you eat too much and eat less, you may be tired easily due to lack of nutrition, or you may become loose.
Snacks = Even if they are not sweets, it would be nice to be satisfied with snacks such as sandwiches and rice balls as snacks.
Also, yogurt and fruits are recommended for taking calcium and vitamins that tend to be deficient.
If you exceed 200kcal, be careful not to eat separately or increase the number of times.
Since calories vary depending on the product, it is recommended to have a habit of viewing the nutritional information label on how much it is contained.
6 After sitting for 30 minutes, let's move once!
It is said that Japanese people have the longest sitting time in the world. When standing or walking, the muscles of the feet work and metabolism is active. However, if you sit for a long time, your muscles will not be active and your metabolism will decrease, making you more susceptible to obesity, diabetes, cancer, myocardial infarction, and dementia.
Get up once every 30 minutes to move a little to prevent illness.
It is also important to reduce the time for children to sit down. The main cause of the child's sitting is screen time. ※That's right.
Long screen time can lead to poor sleep quality, increased obesity, and reduced physical strength. Keep the screen time in your leisure time short.
※Screen time is "time spent in front of the screen, such as watching TVs and DVDs, using video games, and using smartphones."
Improve muscle mass with 7 muscle training! To the body that is hard to gain weight
The amount of exercise, which is effective in preventing lifestyle-related diseases, is to exercise to breathe and sweat at least twice a week at least 30 minutes. Do muscle training that puts a load on large muscles such as chest, back, arms, stomach, butts, and legs.

Walking is also effective in improving muscle mass. Why don't you walk at a slightly faster pace with the stride width 5cm wider than usual? 1 You can build a healthy body by exercising according to your lifestyle, such as walking at a station or using stairs at a station, company, or supermarket.
8 Vegetables are a little more energetic than now
Do you think "I want my child to eat vegetables" and give priority to my child over myself?
There are many people who lack vegetables without even realizing it.
The goal is to eat 350g of vegetables a day, and for vegetable dishes, 5 dishes a day are a guide.
If there is a shortage of vegetables, there is also an effect such as a physical disorder and a prone to lifestyle-related diseases.
Have you ever been tired recently? Let's be aware of the vegetables so that you can get well from your body.
It is recommended that you make a lot of vegetable dishes so that both adults and children can eat plenty, or stock easy-to-eat vegetables in the refrigerator. You can also store frozen vegetables and dried foods, so you can prepare for emergencies.

Let's have a dental check-up once every nine years
Cavities and periodontal disease are infections caused by bacteria (plaque).
A cavity with the image of a toothache, but at the beginning of the disease, there is no pain, and it progresses to some extent and finally pain comes out. When the cavity spreads, it is necessary to remove the nerves and treat it, shortening the life of the teeth.
The swelling of the gums due to leaving polish is called gingivitis, and the progress of gingivitis and the melting of the jaw bone that supports the teeth is called periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease is the number one cause of the loss of Japanese teeth, which is caused by many people without realizing it.
You need regular care for prevention, rather than treating your teeth after getting worse. Take regular checks at your dental clinic to protect your important teeth.
