Health Quiz
Health-related topics are of interest not only to seniors but to just about everyone.
There’s a flood of information—this works, that’s good for you—but some people are undoubtedly taking in misinformation.
How about learning about health through quizzes? Even if you’re not good at studying and memorizing, quizzes can make it easy to remember things! Spring is a season that makes you want to get moving, so why not pick up the right knowledge with health quizzes and challenge yourself to new things?
Heatstroke Quiz
July is a month when the heat often becomes a hot topic.
On scorching days, we all want to be careful about heatstroke.
You’re probably already mindful of heatstroke in older adults, too.
As we age, it seems we can become less sensitive to heat.
With that in mind, we’d like to introduce a heatstroke quiz.
We’ve made it a quiz format to help older adults stay aware of heatstroke.
Through the quiz, you can learn things about heatstroke you may not have known.
It might even be an enjoyable way for older adults to gain new knowledge.
Plus, coming up with quiz questions could help stimulate the brain as well.
What anniversary is the anniversary of the popular menu on May 6?
May 6 often ends up being a day off, coming right after a string of holidays, sometimes falling on a weekend or becoming a substitute holiday.
Let’s learn about the commemorative days on May 6—which can feel like a bit of an add-on—and deepen our interest in this date.
Since there are food-related observances, it could be fun to incorporate them into your menu for the day.
With the wish that families enjoy the dish during the outing season, and by playing on the way the numbers 5 and 6 are read in Japanese, May 6 has been designated as “Croquette Day.”

The third Sunday of October is a day related to family. What is this commemorative day, which was established in 1999?
Suddenly, but do you know what the third Sunday of October is? Here are some hints: it was established in 1999, and it’s a day related to family.
The answer is Grandchildren’s Day.
This day was set by the Japan Department Stores Association, which also runs a campaign where toys that grandchildren would love are given away by lottery.
In recent years, it has also become known as a day for giving gifts to grandchildren.
Why not take this opportunity to give a present and strengthen your bond with your grandchild?
May 2 is the anniversary of a beverage familiar to Japanese people. What anniversary is it?
Among the days of Golden Week, focusing on the parts that aren’t national holidays might help us feel more connected to the break.
Let’s think about the commemorative day that falls on the day before those clustered holidays—May 2.
Considering that this is the season when greenery gradually deepens, and that about three months have passed since the time called Risshun (the beginning of spring), you might guess the answer.
The timing 88 days after Risshun marks the new tea season, and since May 2 falls close to that period, it has been designated as Green Tea Day.
November 11, 1999 was designated as the anniversary of a certain famous snack. What is that snack?
Since November 11 features repeating digits, it is said to be the day with the most commemorative observances after October 10.
There are dozens of observances such as Noodle Day and Salmon Day, but the most famous is surely Pocky Day.
Pocky is one of the flagship products of the confectionery maker Ezaki Glico, and because the shape of Pocky resembles the number 1, the celebration started on the auspicious date when six 1s line up: November 11, 1999 (Heisei 11/11/11).
Incidentally, Pocky was born in 1966, debuting as the world’s first stick-shaped chocolate snack.
From November 14th, events such as lectures and health consultations about a certain disease will be held across the country for one week. What is the disease?
Even within November, which is a prevention month for a certain disease, the week that includes November 14 is designated as a period of heightened awareness.
What disease is it that we are encouraged to think about through various events such as health consultations and lectures? Here’s a hint: if you think of a representative lifestyle-related disease that can cause a variety of complications, you might come up with the answer.
The answer is “diabetes.” It’s a time to seriously reflect on the dangers of diabetes and how to prevent it, in conjunction with World Diabetes Day on November 14.
