It is said that the underlying cause is the progressive bending of the back—that is, the breakdown of posture—which happens without us noticing. Poor posture can affect not only one's outward impression but also physical function and quality of daily life. By straightening the back, one can expect not only a more youthful appearance but also changes in ease of movement and mood, leading to a more positive daily life. ● A Rejuvenation Habit Starting by 'Straightening Your Back' 'Life Greatly Revived by "Straightening Your Back!"' is a book that introduces a training method focused on the habit of straightening the back. Under the supervision of Dr. Takashi Asada, a leading expert in dementia prevention, the book compiles the 'Motoyama-style Rejuvenation Muscle Training,' which works on the body, brain, and mind, in a format that anyone can practice. ● 'Motoyama-style Rejuvenation Muscle Training' That Can Be Done in 5 Minutes at Home This book introduces training that can be incorporated into daily life without any special equipment. - Looking up at a 45-degree angle - Standing on tiptoes for just 3 seconds - Assisted squats It is structured around simple movements that can be started in '5 minutes at home.' It is designed to be easy for those who are not good at exercise to adopt and turn into a habit. ● By Aligning Your Posture, Your Appearance and Life Become More Positive Just by straightening your back, you create changes not only in your body but also in your feelings. For example: - It becomes harder to trip, and walking becomes naturally easier -> Going out becomes enjoyable - The stomach area looks slimmer -> You become more positive about choosing clothes and fashion - Your facial expression looks tighter -> Looking in the mirror becomes something to look forward to By aligning your posture, your behavior changes, and positive changes accumulate in the small scenes of daily life.
