<h3> The &#8220;Ishizuka Way&#8221; of Health</h3>
<p> Hello, everyone. It has been so hot that a &#8220;fat curfew&#8221; has been issued. Are you walking in the shade? My name is Hidehiko Ishizuka.</p>
<p> This time, I would like to share with you my own health tips. Health is not only physical but also mental.</p>
<p> First of all, when I wake up in the morning, I open all the windows in my house to ventilate. This is because I want to let fresh air into my house. Next, I brush my teeth in the bathroom. This is something I learned from the director of &#8220;Kinuta Dentistry,&#8221; whose sign I often see on the street: bacteria in the mouth multiply at night, so it is best to clean the mouth at the start of the day. Until then, I had been brushing my teeth after meals, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to eat anyway.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> After brushing my teeth, I would clean around the house. I clean not only in front of my own house, but also two or three houses away. I&#8217;m the type of person who feels uncomfortable if I don&#8217;t clean up the trash I see. I also want to be considered a &#8220;good person&#8221; by my neighbors (laughs).</p>
<p> Next, I water the planters in my garden. I started this when I entered my 50s. Until then, I had only been interested in food, but I discovered the joy of growing beautiful flowers. Whether it is people or flowers, I find happiness in the joy of growing something. That is why I grow flowers from seeds instead of buying flowers in potted plants. A bud appears, a stem grows, a bud emerges, and a flower opens. I understand how the president of an entertainment agency who nurtures talent feels (laughs).</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Then I stretch while looking at the sky. Rotate joints and stretch muscles. I feel it helps prevent injuries and improves blood flow. I enjoy the joy of stretching outside, exchanging morning greetings with schoolchildren on the street, seeing birds whose names I don&#8217;t know, and finding clouds that resemble eclairs.</p>
<p> When I have time, I also do strength training and walking every other day. When I do strength training, the protein I drink before I work out is &#8220;yummy&#8221;. I add milk to chocolate flavored powder, shake and drink. Perhaps this is why I do muscle training, because I want to drink it.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The &quot;Tuna Demolition Show&quot; lit a fire in my heart."></div>
<h3>Why did you start muscle training?</h3>
<p> Why did I start muscle training in the first place? It all started more than 10 years ago when I covered a &#8220;tuna demolition show&#8221; on location for television. The fact that I couldn&#8217;t lift an 80kg tuna by myself ignited a fire in me.</p>
<p> I thought to myself, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe I can&#8217;t lift what I want to eat by myself. Thinking this, I started muscle training the next day, and now I can bench press 80 kg. But when I thought about it, I realized that even in the market, you may hold a tuna with your arms, but you never lift it from below. &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Then there is walking. In my case, it is more like walking. I walk around my house for about 30 minutes. The walking course includes uphills, which I don&#8217;t like. There is also a shrine, so I put coins in the pocket of my sweatshirt and visit the shrine.</p>
<p> I sweat so much while walking that a housewife in my neighborhood worries if she should call an ambulance. After returning home and taking a dip in the water, I start my day refreshed.</p>
<p> I hope you too can have a wonderful day by refreshing your body and mind in a way that suits you.</p>
