We had a White Party!

Getting together like this, laughing together like this…

It reminds me of Nagatomo Kiyoshi.

It's already been 11 years since he set out on his journey.

We opened with a performance by "Black Pink" (lol)

The bewitching traditional dance cleanses the energy of the space.

As the sun sinks into the earth, the air becomes one that suits opera.

The ritual to open space and time has begun.

We all remembered Nagatomo Kiyoshi together.

Eriko-san, thank you so much!

Surprisingly, enka fits Bali perfectly.

Happy Birthday!

A hotel produced by Plan Do See.

Delicious!

After the party, we filmed a Theater Roasted Sweet Potato

segment in the room!

Roasted sweet potatoes — on location abroad!

In the afternoon, sound healing at the pyramid.

Here, we bathe in music.

And the flickering light beckons us into a psychedelic world.

The time when it starts to feel like this.

I might start dreaming？！

Mornings begin with meditation and sketching.

We drew

The other day at Dr. Tomabechi's seminar…

Accessing higher dimensions is like an art form.

The model is Yurie-san, a yoga master.

Art works are being born one after another…・・・

Thank you！

Smiles crossing smiles.

The Real Reason Colon Cancer has surged among Japanese people to among the highest in the world....Can't be explained by eating too much meat

To put it simply, the real reasons colon cancer has increased among Japanese people are not "eating too much meat" but rather these three:

Drinking too much alcohol (Japanese people are genetically predisposed to alcohol sensitivity, causing risk to jump 2–3x)
Lack of exercise due to desk work and car-dependent lifestyles (a sedentary life doubles the risk)
Eating less fish (fish oil has been shown to reduce colon cancer risk by 40%)

In other words, the biggest culprits aren't diet---it's "alcohol" and the "sedentary modern lifestyle."

According to the article presented, the real reason colon cancer among Japanese people has risen to among the highest in the world is not "eating too much meat (the Westernization of diet)" but rather primarily the following three lifestyle factors.

Alcohol consumption

Cited as the most serious factor. Many Japanese people are genetically predisposed to alcohol sensitivity, making them more severely affected by drinking than their Western counterparts.
In large-scale studies, men who drink two or more cups of sake per day have double the colon cancer risk compared to non-drinkers. Risk increases for both men and women as consumption goes up.
Combined with smoking, the danger rises further — men who both drink two or more cups daily and smoke see their risk triple.

2. Desk work (decline in physical activity)

Jobs that involve long hours sitting at a desk have been identified as a cause of colon cancer (particularly of the colon). Some studies show that people who have done desk work for ten or more years have double the risk of those who haven't.
Conversely, people in jobs that require standing have a 70%+ lower incidence rate than those in primarily desk-based roles. Data also shows that men with high levels of physical activity — standing, walking, running — have a 40%+ lower risk of colon cancer.
Since the 1960s, the rise of desk work and the spread of car culture have led to a lifestyle of moving the body far less — a major factor in the surge of colon cancer as a modern disease.

Insufficient intake of fish (EPA/DHA)

While meat consumption is less than half that of Western countries, the intake of fish — which contains EPA and DHA shown to help prevent colon cancer — is a key factor.
Groups with high EPA/DHA intake from fish show a 40% lower incidence rate (nearly half) of colon cancer near the beginning of the large intestine. The shift in modern eating habits away from fish is also considered a contributing factor.

Summary (Why not "meat"?)

While Japan's diet has become more Westernized, actual meat consumption remains less than half that of the United States. Despite this, Japan's colon cancer incidence ranks fifth in the world — higher than China, where people eat roughly the same amount of meat, and higher even than the US, where people eat far more.

From this contradiction, Dr. Okuda concludes: "The majority of Japanese people get sufficient dietary fiber and vegetables, and their meat consumption is nowhere near Western levels. The cause is not meat — it lies in drinking habits that don't suit the Japanese constitution (low alcohol tolerance), and in the lack of exercise brought on by desk work and car culture (the modern disease aspect)."
