How can we maintain a healthy life in old age? Dr. Kyozo Ishikawa, professor emeritus at Kyorin University School of Medicine in Tokyo and an authority in clinical cardiology, shared his unique health and longevity regimen, which helps prevent cognitive decline and protect the cardiovascular system.
Ishikawa, 88, proposed the “one, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000” health regimen. It proposes doing the following: “Read one piece of writing, laugh 10 times, breathe 100 times, write 1,000 words, and walk 10,000 steps.” The Japanese Medical Association recommends this regimen to help people stay healthy and remain active for longer.
