健康と美容はキラーコンテンツといわれ、テレビや雑誌では多くの特集が組まれている。そんななか、健康は流行ではなく、断片的に理解しても効果は限られると考える人がいる。大切なのは健康のすべてを知り、人間本来の治癒力を引きだすこと。
全健康が本当の幸福をつくっていく。
近頃、Well-beingという言葉をよく耳にする。調べてみると身体的・精神的・社会的に良好な状態にあることで、「幸福」と訳されることが多いという。いまの時代のキーワードといったような軽い言葉かと思ったら、デジタル庁のホームページでも紹介されていて驚いた。そこには、「デジタル田園都市国家構想実現に向けた地域幸福度(Well-being)指標の活用」とあって、Well-beingを数値化・可視化しようとしている。なんだか仰々しくとっつきにくい。つまり簡単にいうと、心身ともに健やかであることがWell-being。
日本で古くから “気は病から、病は気から” といわれていることを考えると、私たちはずっとWell-beingを探ってきた。そしてそのときどきで様々な健康ブームが起きた。ある食材がカラダに良いとテレビで取り上げられれば品切れ状態になり、ある運動が効果的といわれるとみんなで飛びつく。もちろん健康意識が高いのは良いことだけど、一過性の流行で終わるものも多くある。
健康はファッションじゃない。そんな想いで世の中を見ていたのが久 優子さん。美脚トレーナー、ボディメンテナンスセラピスト、ビューティーライフアドバイザーといった多彩な肩書きをもつ彼女は、まとめていえば健やかな心身づくりを実践し、広めようとしている人。
昔は多くの家庭に「家庭の医学」という、ケガをしたり病気になったときの対処法が紹介されている本があった。それはいざというときに役立つ、薬箱のような存在。暇なときにページをめくっていると病気になったときの対処法や健康への知識が身についていく。健康にまつわる知識を全体的に網羅した、そんな「家庭の医学」のようなものを世の中に広めたいと思い立った久さんはいま、健康と美容、内側と外側の相互作用を最大限に活かした「セルフ・メディケーション」と「セルフケア」を生活に取り入れ、さらに人間本来がもっている「自然治癒力」を高めるための人体学をテーマにしたセミナーを準備している。
美しさを生み、生きがいをつくり、幸せを呼ぶ。健康はすべてに通じ、すべては健康に通じる。全健康を知ることが本当のWell-beingにつながる。
Health and beauty are killer topics in TV and magazines.
However, some believe health isn’t a trend, and fragmented knowledge is ineffective.
What truly matters is understanding health as a whole and tapping into the body’s natural healing power.
Total health leads to true happiness.
Recently, the term "well-being" is commonly used. The term "well-being" has become common lately. It refers to physical, mental, and social well-being, often translated as "happiness." Initially, I thought it was just a trendy buzzword, but I was surprised to see it on the Digital Agency's website, where they aim to quantify and visualize it toward the realization of the Digital Garden City State concept. This feels a bit lofty and distant. Simply put, well-being means being healthy in both mind and body.
In Japan, the saying "a troubled mind brings illness, and illness troubles the mind" shows we've been exploring well-being for a long time. Various health trends come
shows we've been exploring well-being for a long time. Various health trends come and go. When a food is shown on TV as beneficial, it sells out, and when an exercise is praised, everyone rushes to try it. While it's great to be health-conscious, many of these trends are short-lived.
Health isn't a trend—this is Yuko Hisashi's perspective. Bestowed titles like Leg Trainer, Body Maintenance Therapist, and Beauty Life Advisor, she focuses on promoting a healthy mind and body.
In the past, households had medical encyclopedias offering guidance on injuries and illnesses, much like a first-aid kit. Flipping through them casually helped build health knowledge. Inspired by this, Yuko Hisashi aims to spread a similar resource. She is preparing a seminar focused on "Self-Medication" and "Self-Care," highlighting the interaction of health and beauty to enhance the body’s natural healing power.
Health fosters beauty, gives life meaning, and brings happiness. It is the foundation of everything. Understanding total health leads to true well-being.
