Surprisingly unknown? Fun health trivia quiz you'll want to try (21–30)
What happens if you keep dieting by skipping one meal?NEW!
- lose weight
- Only body fat decreases
- become prone to gaining weight
See the answer
become prone to gaining weight
If you skip a meal and leave a long gap between meals, your body may mistakenly think it’s in a state of starvation. As a result, when you eat next, your body tries to store as much energy as possible, increasing absorption and making it easier to accumulate fat.
What is the condition called where your face turns bright red after consuming even a small amount of alcohol?NEW!
- Asian Flush
- Japan Flash
- European Flash
See the answer
Asian Flush
It's said that getting a red face from drinking alcohol is especially common among East Asians. In Japan, about half of people are said to experience Asian flush. Those who experience Asian flush have a reduced ability to break down acetaldehyde, a component of alcohol, so they need to be particularly careful about how much alcohol they consume.
What health risks are more likely to occur due to oversleeping?NEW!
- Obesity
- a cold
- skin irritation
See the answer
Obesity
It’s well known that sleep deprivation can lead to obesity, but research has actually shown that oversleeping also increases the risk of obesity. People who sleep too long tend to burn fewer calories because their daytime activity levels decrease. In addition, disruption of the body’s internal clock can affect the balance of hormones that control appetite, which is thought to make weight gain more likely as a result.
How many minutes is the ideal amount of time to brush your teeth per session?NEW!
- 1 minute
- 3–5 minutes
- 15 minutes
See the answer
3–5 minutes
While it’s not good to rush through brushing your teeth, brushing for too long isn’t good either. Overly long brushing can damage your teeth and gums. It’s important to use a toothbrush that suits you and brush correctly for about 3 to 5 minutes.
When is it good to eat yogurt for gut health?NEW!
- before meals
- after a meal
- Before bedtime
See the answer
after a meal
Yogurt contains substances that are good for the intestines, such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. However, if you eat yogurt on an empty stomach when stomach acid is high, these substances may be destroyed before they reach the intestines, so it’s said to be better to eat it after a meal, when the food has neutralized the stomach acid.
When is “between meals,” the timing for taking medicine?NEW!
- Having a meal
- About two hours after a meal
- Between dinner and breakfast
See the answer
About two hours after a meal
“Shokukan” (between meals) refers to the period between one meal and the next, specifically about two hours after eating when the stomach is almost empty. Taking medicine when there is no food in the stomach helps reduce the influence of stomach acid and allows the active ingredients to be absorbed more smoothly. By taking medicine at the correct time, you can obtain its full effects safely.
What should you not do when measuring blood pressure?NEW!
- lean back against the backrest
- cross one's legs
- breathe
See the answer
cross one's legs
To measure blood pressure accurately, it’s very important to maintain the correct posture. If you cross your legs during the measurement, the blood vessels in your legs can be compressed, impairing blood flow and tending to raise blood pressure in the lower body. As a result, it can also affect overall circulation, increasing the likelihood that the reading will be higher than your true value.
