Greetings

Hello, this is Ishihara, the newsletter manager.

This month's health trivia reports on a talk show held by researchers from the Japanese Society for Immunology on activating intestinal immunity. From the perspective of immunity, humans may be the ones who benefit most from the bacteria and bacteria they dislike.

We will also provide useful information such as the World Health Report, so please enjoy.

Americans Cutting Down on Fat, Salt, and Sugar ~ 2012 Edition of the U.S. Food and Health Awareness Survey (3)

◎ In the United States, there seems to be a tendency to be more cautious when choosing ingredients to prevent lifestyle-related diseases and maintain health. Avoiding fat as much as possible and limiting salt and sugar intake are becoming common sense. This is a report on U.S. consumers' food and health choices based on the International Food Information Council Foundation (IFICF) "2012 Survey on Food and Health Awareness among Americans."

32) Activates beneficial gut bacteria and intestinal immunity

◎ On Sunday, August 19, 2012, the "Immune Mystery Future 2012" (hosted by the NPO Japan Society for Immunology) was held at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, Japan. The catchphrase this time was "Let's talk with researchers!" Let's explore, let's try, immunology! The Japanese Society for Immunology is an academic organization with about 5,500 immunologists, working to promote academic exchange among its members and give back to society through research achievements. This time, we will introduce the "mechanisms of immunity" and "the relationship between gut bacteria and immunity" from the researchers' talk shows.

◎ Episode 30: Be Careful About Seasonal Changes in Asthma

■Editor's Note

■ Because it's a concern: Be careful with asthma during seasonal changes

Early autumn is also a time when you need to be cautious about sudden worsening of asthma. When an attack occurs, especially at night or early morning, when breathing, you hear "whoosh" or "sizzle" sounds, making it very hard to breathe. People with asthma regularly have inflammation in the airways, which are the airways. As a result, even slight stimuli can cause the airways to narrow, making it hard to breathe. Triggers for attacks include climate changes, contact with allergens (such as dust mites, dust, pet hair, etc.), and colds. Since airway inflammation is the true nature of the disease, treatment mainly involves anti-inflammatory drugs that reduce inflammation. The representative anti-inflammatory drugs are steroids. Mainly inhaled medications are taken once or twice a day. This helps control airway inflammation and makes attacks less likely. Still, when seizures occur during this period, inhalation medication that widens the narrowed airway is used to calm the seizures. It is also necessary to reconsider the type and dosage of anti-inflammatory drugs. As side effects, inhaled steroids can cause 'hoarseness,' while inhaled drugs that dilate the bronchial tubes can cause 'shivering.' The key to treatment is to use medication correctly according to your doctor's instructions and to identify the triggers for attacks and avoid them.

■Editor's Note

How did you find this month's email newsletter?

Now, let's focus on the seasonal ingredient bonito. The returning bonito in September is richer and more delicious than the first bonito. The content of unsaturated fatty acids also rises nearly threefold, providing abundant EPA/DHA, which activates the brain and promotes smooth blood flow. Also, vitamin B12, which is found in the bloodline, is the most abundant in fish meat and helps prevent anemia. When heated, the texture becomes dry, so it is often eaten seared or sashimi, but since it is a perishable fish, it is better to avoid leaving it for too long.

Enjoy seasonal ingredients while using them for your health.

Thank you for reading the 'e-Kenko Kawara-ban' until the end of this month.

We will continue to plan to provide more comprehensive health information, so we appreciate your continued support. We look forward to hearing your opinions and feedback.

The next "e-Kenko Kawara Edition" is scheduled to be distributed around October 10.
