Healthy Living

This weeks theme is healthy living, so prepare a short presentation for the class, choose from one of the titles below.  

  • A good way to release stress.
  • My exercise routine.
  • A recipe for a nutritious autumn dish.  
  •  The secret to healthy living.
 Also, read the essay below about stress and prepare some questions to ask in class.

 Many people think stress is dangerous, but this is a dangerous way of thinking. Kelly McGonigal is a stress management expert.  Recently I watched her TEDtalk. Recently there has been a lot of research about stress. If a person thinks that stress is dangerous, their chances of dying rise by thirty percent . If you have a lot of stress, but your thinking is that stress is not dangerous, your chances of death are the same as a person with no stress. If you believe stress is dangerous, during a stressful time your blood vessels contract, this is not healthy.  But if you think that stressful times are exhilarating, your blood vessels dilate, this is a healthy situation. Above this, at that time the stress hormone oxytocin is released. This hormone has the nickname "the hugging hormone", so you become very sociable. During a stressful time, if you ask help from others, your stress will decrease.  Therefore, when it comes to stress, our way of thinking is very important.
 
 たくさんの人はストレスはとても危ないと信じているが、その考え方は危ない。KELLY・MCGONIGALはストレスマネジメント専門家。最近彼女のTEDTALKのビデオを見た。最近たくさんのストレスの研究があった。もしストレスが危ないと考えているなら、死ぬ可能性は30%増加する。もしあなたのストレスが多いけど、考え方がストレスは危なくないと考えているなら、ストレスがない人とあなたの死ぬ可能性は同じ。もしストレスが危ないと思ったら、ストレスの時動脈が縮む。それは健康的じゃないが、もしストレスがある時興奮する事を考えたら、動脈は広がる。それは健康的な状況。その上、その時オキシトシンと言うストレスホルモンが解放される。そのホルモンのニックネームは抱擁ホルモンなので、社交的になる。ストレスが多い時、もし他の人に助けてと言ったら、ストレスが減少する。だから,ストレスの場合、考え方は大切な事だと思う。
