Work experience in a hospital as a physical therapistNakamū
I worked as a physical therapist at a general hospital for about four years. I’ve supported a wide range of patients, from those needing emergency rehabilitation to those doing rehabilitation at home at a comfortable pace. As a writer, I’d be happy to share health-related information with many people. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!

Among older adults, cognitive functions such as memory and concentration tend to decline progressively with age.

If you’re a caregiver or staff member working closely with seniors, you may wonder whether there are any recreational activities that can help prevent dementia.

Quizzes present questions across a variety of fields, making them useful for acquiring a broad range of knowledge.

They also stimulate the mind, which can contribute to improving cognitive function.

By all means, consider using quizzes as a recreational activity in day services and long-term care facilities.

electric refrigerator

The “three sacred treasures” of the Showa era were the electric washing machine, the electric refrigerator, and the black-and-white television. Spurred by the economic boom of the Jinmu prosperity, a home electrification craze took off, and these appliances became objects of popular desire. In the latter half of the 1950s–60s (late Showa 30s), color televisions, air conditioners, and private cars became widespread and were known as the “3Cs.”

Not only the first spring storm exists, but there are also the second and third.

Personally, I have the impression that strong gusts often blow in spring—how about you? The so-called “haru-ichiban” is something I vaguely think of as “a strong wind that blows in spring,” but borrowing the Japan Meteorological Agency’s wording, it’s defined as “a warm, somewhat strong southerly wind observed over a wide area between the beginning of spring (Risshun) and the spring equinox.” In fact, this haru-ichiban is sometimes followed by what people call haru-niban, haru-sanban, and so on.

However, these aren’t official JMA terms; they’re more at the level of expressions used on news programs.

I mean, if someone said “haru-gojuuban (spring number 50),” you’d be like… really?
