[Machine Translation] In today's hectic, sympathetic-dominated world, the focus should be on the parasympathetic nervous system for relaxation. Breathing, spine care, perspiration, yurukatsu, laughter, etc., help to regulate the parasympathetic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is regulated by switching on and off the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. In fact, in today's "rushed lifestyle," with its emphasis on typing, the sympathetic nervous system remains active. Now is the time for the parasympathetic nervous system to play an important role, as we head into the open-air summer season, free from masks. The parasympathetic nervous system, which is also known as the relaxing nervous system and acts as a brake, is said to weaken with age. This special issue focuses on the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the key to regulating the autonomic nervous system. The feature article describes how to regulate the autonomic nervous system from the parasympathetic nervous system through five major approaches: breathing, resetting the spine, sweating, yurukatsu (relaxing activities), and laughter. Breathing" introduces deep breathing methods for different purposes, such as inducing restful sleep and improving concentration, while "skeletal conditioning" for correcting distortions in the body is introduced for morning, noon, and night scenes. The book also provides concrete explanations of methods that can be put into practice from today, such as how to sweat well to keep the sympathetic nervous system in an optimal state, suggestions for yuru-katsu (relaxing activities) such as tai chi and mandala coloring, and a collection of entertainment contents that will make you laugh and get in shape. The center insert includes suggestions for cooking with herbs and spices to help you relax. In addition, there is a page that explains the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and weather-related illnesses that come with the changing of the seasons. In today's society, where we are constantly pressing the accelerator pedal, let's improve the condition of our bodies and minds by skillfully and timely applying the brake for a rest.
