1
From the minute we're born, we're aging.
2
Constant exposure to our environment, the things we eat, and stresses from both inside and outside our bodies all cause us to age over time.
3
Aging is highly complex, but scientists are starting to understand what happens at the cellular and molecular levels.
4
For example, healthy cells are damaged over time
5
when our our immune systems shift from reacting to short-term problems like injuries
6
and infections to gradually producing chronic inflammation throughout the body.
7
Time also gradually shortens the telomeres that act as protective caps for our DNA-containing chromosomes.
8
These and other changes make our bodies less and less able to deal with stresses from inside and outside of our body, so when damage reaches a critical level,
9
our cells, tissues, and organs may no longer perform normally, and our health starts to decline.
10
The changes associated with aging start to happen on some level at day one.
11
We begin to experience their effects early in life.
12
For example, we lose the ability to hear certain high-frequency sounds as teenagers.
13
Our cognition and memory slowly decline after they peak in our mid-20s.
14
The strength of our bones starts to decrease in our 30s.
15
Female fertility sharply declines after 35.
16
Age-related nearsightedness begins in our mid-40s.
17
And our hair starts to gray and thin as early as our 30s and 40s.
18
After the age of 50, the changes of aging become increasingly noticeable.
19
And because aging is the biggest risk factor for most of the diseases that affect us as adults, the older we get, the higher our risk of chronic disease becomes.
20
While scientists have not yet found a way to stop these processes of aging, they are learning more and more about how to maintain health throughout our lives.
21
Some aspects of aging are out of our control, like our genetics and our family history,
22
so we can educate ourselves about moderate risk factors and do our best to reduce them through healthy lifestyle and diet choices.
23
Most of us can be healthy and active well into our later years if we take care of ourselves.
24
It's no surprise that regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight, improve moods and sleep habits, and boost overall health.
25
And it's clear that a well-balanced diet full of nutritious foods is critical to good health.
26
But when it comes to understanding which foods are the best choices, much nutrition research has focused on how certain foods
27
or nutrients may have a negative effect on health or even play a role in disease development.
28
More recently, scientists have begun to explore
29
and understand how nutrition may play a role in promoting healthy aging throughout all of life's stages.
30
We are rapidly learning about what foods and nutrients should be emphasized in our diets and how they can enhance our health.
31
Diets full of fruits and veggies, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and lean meats have proven health benefits like lowering blood pressure,
32
improving glucose control in diabetes, weight loss, improving arthritis, and reducing the risk of cancer and cardiovascular events, to name a few.
33
And we are learning more about the specific nutrients that can impact health.
34
For example, plant pigments found in bright orange and red fruits and vegetables may prevent and slow the progression of eye diseases.
35
Calcium helps to keep bones strong.
36
B vitamins play a role in maintaining brain health.
37
And flavonoids from many plants may improve the health of our cardiovascular systems.
38
The bottom line is that you have the power to maintain and improve your health.
39
Add vitality to your years and reduce your risk of disease.
40
And it's never too late to make a change.
41
To learn more about the nutrients that are critical to your health, and how to safely turn to supplements if you aren't getting enough of these nutrients in your diet,

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
