The "Fasting Dojo" is an accommodation facility where you can fast for a certain period of time and wash your body under the guidance of an expert. It was a healthy spot that was popular with business people, and was experienced by the editorial staff. We will deliver a part of the article from the special feature "New common sense of food and physical condition" of "President" (April 1, 2022 issue). [Chart] What happens to the body after fasting ■ I was 29 years old without being aware of unhealthy body, and my body age was 44 years old! "Most of the users 25 years ago when I started the fasting dojo had illnesses, such as those with bulimia nervosa, cancer, and those with mental illness. The ratio is about 10 to 20% of the total. The base has expanded considerably, such as to prevent illness and to reset busy days, "says Takeshi Osawa, the representative of Yasuragi no Sato. I (29 years old, male) like this do not have any major physical problems. To put it bluntly, I have chronic back pain, shortness of breath when climbing stairs, and suffocation when sleeping. By the way, my weight has increased by about 15 kg compared to 10 years ago. However, there is not much awareness of being unhealthy. However, as a result of measuring my weight and body fat percentage, my body age was 44 years old. It's no wonder you feel shortness of breath or shortness of breath. According to Mr. Osawa, back pain is due to the long duration of "sympathetic dominance" in desk work every day. This is because when in combat mode, humans unknowingly lean forward with their backs curled up. When the sympathetic nerve becomes excessively dominant, metabolism deteriorates and it becomes easy to gain weight.
■ Mr. Osawa, who started fasting for 3 nights and 4 days, also felt sorry for him, saying, "It seems that you are tired enough to justify coming to me." The body seemed to be screaming just because he didn't realize it. "When people get sick, they try to eat a lot of nutritious foods. But what about animals? They crouch without eating anything, sleep earnestly, and stop digestive activity. That's the natural cycle." After the interview, the fasting life of 3 nights and 4 days began. The first thing I noticed was the yoga I went to on the evening of the first day. I haven't eaten anything since dinner the day before, so my body is already lighter than usual. In that state, I took a pose for about 30 minutes and adjusted my breathing, and the pain in my back disappeared somewhere. For dinner, I just sipped miso soup without ingredients, but mysteriously, I didn't feel hungry. The relaxed feeling of yoga still remained, and I fell asleep at 21:00. The morning of the second day started with a trail walk. The Yasuragi no Sato / Yoseikan where I am staying is located on a cliff along the coast. Walk along the mountain road for 50 minutes with other guests while looking at the sea from the side. A man in his 40s, who has a slender body and moves lightly on the rocks, visits the fasting dojo twice a year. "I've been coming to Yasuragi no Sato for five years at the recommendation of an acquaintance of the owner. He runs several companies and sometimes sells them, and from my point of view, he's a steel mental. But the more people who use their heads all the time, the more they care about mental adjustment. ”The man who says that also runs a company that provides medical services. ing. He is aware that he uses his head every day, and he goes to the fasting dojo for the purpose of "detoxifying the brain." This time is a one-week course. "I'm the type of person who works with feelings, not logic. I analyze with numbers, but rather imagine what people who use this service feel. And that feeling is important. If you don't detox your brain from time to time like this, you can't show your true strength. "
