Background: Modern Japanese Medical Situation and the Necessity of "Preventive Medicine" - Why Ayurveda Now?

In Japan, which has entered a super-aging society, the importance of "preventive medicine to avoid illness" is increasing, not just treatment after becoming ill. To live healthily in the latter half of life, it is essential to balance mind and body and enhance vitality in daily life.

Ayurveda, with a history of about 5000 years, is the world's oldest traditional medicine and is positioned as the ultimate "preventive medicine." This book clearly explains wisdom for self-care in busy modern life and connecting to a healthy future.

Main Contents of This Book: Diet, Action, and Mind Care

This book applies the wisdom of Ayurveda, an Indian traditional medicine with a 5000-year history, to modern life, developing reset methods that can be easily incorporated by everyone, based on three pillars:

1. "Discarding" Habits: Letting go of unnecessary things accumulated in mind and body.

In modern society surrounded by information and stress, the book explains the importance of expelling Ama (undigested matter) accumulated in the body. It provides detox thinking methods and food choices to reduce unnecessary burden on mind and body.

2. "Incorporating" Habits: Fulfilling original vitality (Ojas).

After "subtracting" unnecessary things, the process is to gain "Ojas," the life energy that circulates life. It proposes ways to circulate new energy in mind and body through living in harmony with nature's rhythms and spending time mindfully.

3. State of Mind for Living a Healthy Latter Half of Life.

With the theme "Rejuvenation is not going back to the past, but returning to one's true self," it views aging as a process of maturation. It explains how to cultivate a mindset to shine brighter with age by listening to one's body and specific flexible activities.

The author, principal of the British School of Ayurveda, introduces methods that have proven effective.

If you carefully readjust your body, mind, and actions, your inherent potential will reawaken.

Novelty and Originality of This Book (Difference from Other Rejuvenation Books)

While conventional "rejuvenation books" and health methods often focus on "addition" (taking supplements or adding new exercises) or "resisting youthfulness," this book offers a unique perspective:

Fundamental Reconstruction through "Subtraction" and "Circulation"

It emphasizes a medically sound detox and regeneration process: first, creating space by "discarding" accumulated unnecessary things, and then "incorporating" good things.

Integration of "Business, Traditional Culture, and Self-Care"

The author, who serves as an outside director for a listed company and practices Japanese traditional culture (such as tea ceremony), wrote this book. Its unique quality lies in offering a "total way of life" to enrich and mature the latter half of life, not just as a health method.

Guidance to Ultimate Well-being
