Preventing Alzheimer's Disease - Kotake

This article is from website created by HELP-GUIDE Org.

Alzheimer ’s disease is one of the biggest concerns many of us have as we get older. We have long dreamed of and waited for a pharmaceutical cure.

Recent NHK’s program “ためしてガッテン”on May 17th , 2017 introduced that we could reduce our risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias through a combination of simple but effective lifestyle changes. Above all taking enough sleeping hours was recommended because of enabling our brain to flush out Amyloidβtoxin leading to Alzheimer’s disease. I suppose that you have known various kinds of information in fragments.

But I could come across a comprehensive and handy reference edited by HELP-GUIDE Org., US non-profit organization. This material covers almost all information ranging from regular exercise to sleeping hours etc. as a .latest medical researches which we can consult in our daily life. Thus I decided to pick up this reference as our reading material for your reference.

This material shows what we can do to reduce our risk in Alzheimer’s disease in detail. Fortunately, we may be able to prevent the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and slow down, or even reverse, by leading a brain-healthy lifestyle.

All the K-sec members might be surprised at and encouraged by the effective measures of our senior English club as a social engagement after perusing this material. We need to regularly connect face-to-face with someone who cares about us and make us feel heard. We must therefore appreciate an existence of K-sec, in which we can express and exchange our views and thoughts to our hearts content, through English speaking drill as a challenging skill,

By identifying and controlling our personal risk factors, we can maximize our chances of lifelong brain health and take effective steps to preserve your cognitive abilities

It is with great pleasure that I could provide you with some hints and advices serving to preventing Alzheimer’s disease in your daily life from this reading material.

Trump Returns to Crisis Over Kushner as White House Tries to Contain It

- Sekiguchi

This article is from The New York Times May 27.2017.

President Trump returned home on Saturday to confront a growing political and legal threat, as his top aides tried to contain the fallout from reports that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is a focus of investigations into possible collusion between Russia and the president’s campaign and transition teams.

White House is in true chaos. Trump aides including his own family are confronted with each other; Trump is busy himself preparing for the coming investigations for himself, which would come surely after Kushner as the Russian Gate. He cannot afford serious time for the genuine politics.

KSEC members discussed why such abnormal situations still go on several months after his inauguration. Followings are the main comments on him.

Trump himself did not want to be a president.

He was a long shot ( 大穴) at the beginning. He did not want; he just wanted to sell his name to the public for his business. The most surprised guy was himself when he was elected.

Trump experienced bankruptcy four times; one of the early bankruptcies was at the first divorce. (The current wife is the third.) In that way his life is erratic not stable enough to think of politics calmly.

Trump is a realtor not a business man. A business leader is supposed to be a leader or CEO of big companies or banks. He is just one-man of a small company.

It is not appropriate to expect his leadership from his career.

Trump does not acknowledge the difference between Private and Public in another words, his business and politics.

Previously in this meeting his conflict of interest came to the subject.

Not only he but his family members are still infringing this strict rule. Most of the White House is mixing Public and Private.

Trump abandons the ultimate purpose of the American President. “The diplomacy.”

The president of USA has not absolute power for the domestic issues. As far as the domestic issues are concerned, the Diet might be in stronger positions than the President. However, the president has omnipotent power over the diplomacy. TPP ,Paris Treaty, NATO,G7and so on). This is the specific role of the American President, which the world had been waiting for Now Trump has retreated from this great position.

To realize the impeachment, the consent of the majority of the congress men and two thirds of the senators, are necessary

.Besides, the preparation requires hectic time and its realization is difficult.

We can know it from Nixon’s case.

Whether he stays or resigns, the world should endure an irritating time.

God bless you.
