Exercise (health) is important. (as many times as you want)
68We successfully finished the fiscal month of the fiscal year and entered the 69th fiscal year.
It feels so long ago that I think it happened in the blink of an eye, and it is already mid-October.
Last weekend, there was a children's sports day, and I have been watching the growth of my child with my own eyes.
There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but if I wrote it, it would be a disturbing story, so I will omit it. I was able to see the rabbit and horn growing up like an elementary school student, so I was very satisfied as a parent.
However, the style of the sports day has also changed drastically. In order to avoid "crowding", the time was divided into two grades. (Grades 1.6→ 2.4→ 3.5)
There are also two competitions for each grade level. And sprinting is not ranked in consideration of children's bullying and superiority or inferiority. (No goal tape)
I can't deny the feeling that it has become a little lonely sports day, but I think that the teachers who run it are also holding it with great care. I feel that it is important to preserve it as an athletic event rather than abolish it.
Thank you very much for your hard work.
But I digress.
Exercise is an important activity in terms of health both as an adult.
Even in the company, if there is an employee's declaration of club activities, I would like you to consider it and work on it with great benefits.
By the way, while the company is actively promoting medical examinations, there may be people who have been diagnosed as suspected of being sick based on the results of medical examinations.
It is rare for a serious illness to occur suddenly. In general, there are signs of diagnosis, and the purpose is to diagnose "preventive measures before you really get sick" at the medical checkup held once or twice a year.
Among these typical diseases, there is "diabetes".
However, most people do not know what kind of disease it actually is.
The content of this article was described including the advice of the doctor at the hospital on what to do to know ~ not to get sick ~ not to get sick, so it is a sharing of information.
Q: What kind of disease is diabetes?
A:It is a disease that causes blood vessels to age due to high blood sugar and causes disorders here and there.
"Because the insulin secreted by the pancreas does not work sufficiently, sugars overflow into the blood, which bind to proteins in the blood vessels and cause aging of the blood vessels. As a result, blood flow in all corners of the body decreases (slows down), causing damage to various organs (multiple organ failure)."
Q: What kind of organs do you have problems with?
A:The peripheral (limb) nerves, the eyes (vision), and the kidneys are the three most representative.
"There are three complications that occur when small blood vessels are damaged: when peripheral nerves are damaged, the limbs feel numb, and skin problems are more likely to occur due to loss of sensation. Disorders of the retina at the back of the eye may affect vision and cause decreased renal function. It has also been reported to increase the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, infection and cancer."
Q:What kind of people are prone to diabetes?
A:High blood sugar, lack of exercise, obesity, aging and family history are risk factors (causes) for the onset of the disease.
"It is known that repeated hyperglycemia and lack of exercise lead to obesity, and as a result, insulin becomes less effective due to the secretion of bad transmitters from fat cells. Japan people have a lower ability to secrete insulin from the pancreas than Westerners, so it is known that even mild obesity can develop diabetes. Since the risk of developing diabetes also increases with aging, it is especially important for people with a family history of diabetes to detect diabetes early through medical examinations and other means, leading to treatment."
Q:What (initial) symptoms are there?
A:In the early days, it is a disease that has few symptoms and is difficult to notice.
"Diabetes, like hypertension and hyperlipidemia, is a disease with few symptoms when the disease is first developed. As a result, you get closer to the toilet, feel thirsty and drink more fluids."
Q: Is there anything I should be careful about when eating?
A:Take plenty of dietary fiber with vegetables to slow down the rise in blood sugar levels.
"When it comes to treating diabetes, it is important to protect the cells that secrete insulin from exhaustion. In order to rest the cells, it is important to avoid spikes in blood sugar levels and reduce the amount of insulin secreted. There is a GI value (glycemic index) that determines the degree of increase in blood sugar level for each food. In order to prevent lifestyle-related diseases, it is important to increase the number of foods with low GI values, and it is recommended to eat staple foods with high GI values such as white rice and wheat flour bread and pasta last."

If you know the other person (disease), it will be easier to take preventive measures. Your health is paramount and important.
