We found this amazing story of this wonderful elderly lady from Japan who's in better shape than most people in their 30s!
She’s SO strong and fit for her age it’s UNBELIEVABLE. And she shares her lifestyle and her secrets for us. Let’s live healthy at any age with Takashima.
Story of the Week
Meet Takashima Mika..
The world’s “oldest fitness instructor” from Japan. Wow!
Can you believe she’s turning 94 in January? She says she’ll keep teaching until age 100. What a champ!
The Unstoppable Grandma Who's Making Japan Sweat
Warning! You may rethink everything you thought you knew about aging.
Picture this: It's 3 AM in Tokyo, and while most people are sound asleep, Grandma Takashima (or "Takimika" as her fans call her) is already lacing up her running shoes. You might think she's crazy – but wait until you hear her story!
"I was just a regular grandma who needed to lose a few pounds," she chuckles, remembering the day her husband commented on her weight. That comment changed everything. Instead of feeling hurt, she decided to hit the gym – at age 65!
But here's where it gets interesting.
While most people her age were slowing down, Takimika was just getting started. By 87 (yes, you read that right!), she wasn't just going to the gym – she was teaching there!
"My students can't believe their eyes when I show them what I can do," she grins. And what can she do? Hold onto your hats: Every morning, she walks 4 kilometers, jogs 3 more, and then walks another kilometer – backwards!
Want to know her secret? It's simpler than you'd think. Every morning, she fuels up with a traditional Japanese breakfast – grilled fish, nattō (fermented soybeans), eggs, and plenty of vegetables. No fancy supplements or crazy diet tricks here!
"Age is just a number," she loves to say, and boy, does she prove it! When other people her age are asking for help with their groceries, Takimika is leading two-hour workout classes that would make people half her age break a sweat.
But what makes this grandma truly special isn't just her amazing fitness level – it's her heart of gold.
I want to show everyone that it's never too late to start taking care of yourself
she says with a warm smile that lights up the room.
If I can do it at 92, anyone can!
And get this: She's not planning to stop anytime soon. Her goal? To keep teaching until she's 100! "Why not?" she laughs. "Life is too short to sit still!"
So the next time you're thinking you're too old to start something new, remember Takimika. Remember the grandma who decided to become a fitness instructor at 87. Remember that it's never too late to change your life.
Want some inspiration to get moving? Just picture Takimika, bouncing around her fitness studio, showing everyone that age really is just a number – and that the best time to start taking care of yourself is right now!
Science
Hungry cancer cells are weak to treatment
Does Eating Better Make Cancer Treatments Work Better? Science Says Yes!
Some exciting new research from the Van Andel Institute suggests it might! Scientists have discovered something pretty remarkable about cancer cells. But here's where it gets interesting: this might be their weakness.
Think of cancer cells like unwelcome guests. They load their plate with fats to fuel their growth. But what if we could cut off their access to the buffet? That's exactly what researchers are exploring, and the results are promising.
Here's What You Need to Know:
Cancer cells need fats & sugars to survive and grow (they're kind of greedy that way!)
When starved of fats, they become more vulnerable to certain treatments
Scientists are working on finding the perfect "diet plan" that could make cancer treatments more effective
What This Means: If you or a loved one is dealing with cancer, this research offers hope for more effective treatments down the road. While we're not quite ready to prescribe specific diets (scientists are still figuring out the details), this study opens up exciting possibilities for combining nutrition with treatments.
Looking Ahead: Researchers are now working to discover what food changes might fight cancer the best. Stay tuned - we'll keep you updated as we learn more.
Interesting
Oxygen “Burns” Fat
Scientists have found a way to use oxygen to help people lose weight and feel better.
Lets learn how they do it
Some smart scientists wanted to see if breathing extra oxygen could help rats lose weight. So they put rats in rooms with more oxygen than usual. Some rats stayed in these rooms for 3 hours a day, and others for 6 hours a day.
What happened next was shocking…
Fat Loss: The rats that got extra oxygen lost more weight than the ones that didn't. Cool, right?
Healthy Blood: The extra oxygen also helped some rats have healthier blood.
Protected Heart and Kidney: The scientists found that breathing extra oxygen for 3 hours a day was good for the rats' hearts and kidneys.
BUT BE CAREFUL: They learned that too much of a good thing can be bad. When rats breathed extra oxygen for 6 hours a day, it wasn't so great for their livers.
How is this useful?
While we're not rats, this study shows that oxygen might be a helpful tool for staying healthy. Maybe one day, doctors will use special oxygen rooms to help people lose weight and feel better!
I’m no doctor, but I study daily. The best ways to stay healthy are eating healthy, socializing, exercising, and getting plenty of good sleep. Takashima Mika is a PERFECT example of this. =)
For dieting, eat as close to nature intended.

Food
Natural Hunger Blockers
It's not easy to not eat. You know, not snacking while being hungry is SO hard (at least, at first!) Take the easy path. Kill the hungry cravings before they take over and control your mind!
Appetite suppressants help do this. They make it a lot easier to go without eating. They SUPERCHARGE your natural fat burning ability.
The strong hunger feeling is from a hormone. Learn this trick to feel full. You CAN control your appetite. Take the easy path to a lean body. Why not?
And when you reach your weight goal we will celbrate together.
Another thing a lot of people try is “intermittent fasting”. They get good results fast.
This hack makes dieting and cleansing SO easy. Check out these top three hunger blockers.
Glucomannan
Glucomannan is a natural dietary fiber derived from the root of the konjac plant. It is a “hunger blocker” to:
Feel Full: Absorbs water and expands in the stomach
Control Hunger: Slows digestion, which helps reduce food intake
Glucomannan is available in capsule form and is found in many over-the-counter weight loss supplements. It's generally considered safe for most people when taken as directed.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract is a popular ingredient in many weight loss supplements. It kills hunger and it boosts metabolism.
Green tea extract is widely available in capsule form or as a standalone supplement. It's important to note that it contains caffeine, so those sensitive to stimulants should use it with caution.
Garcinia Cambogia
Garcinia cambogia is a tropical fruit extract that has gained popularity as an appetite suppressant. Its active compound, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), it can:
Reduce appetite: Increases serotonin levels in the brain, which helps reduce appetite
Inhibit enzymes: Involved in fat production
These foods are simple. They change lives by quickly improving health balance.
Doctors Say
Your Feet Can Speak for Your Liver
Did you know your feet and liver are connected?
Scientists say your Liver is your most important organ. Is this true?
If it is, we should pay close attention to the warning signs for a bad liver.
If you have any of these, please make sure it won’t get worse.
These signs are…
Feeling sleepy all the time
Physical Weakness
Hard to get oxygen
Nausea and puking
Pain in the upper right abdomen
Itchy skin
Dark urine
Pale or blood in stool
Swollen legs, ankles, or abdomen
Easy bruising
Some warning signs are scary but there is hope!
It’s not as scary if you know about it. Think about it.
People are afraid of the dark but if they turn on a light to see what is in the dark, they are no longer afraid… Have you seen this chart?
These are early sign areas you can see in your feet. Ever noticed your feet change? Learn what the signs mean in this special video presentation. It’s worth the watch. It could even save a life.
5 minutes of prevention is worth 5 months of cure. Please invest in your health. Just watch the video, it’s great. He’s a doctor, a great doctor (in my opinion,) and even this even saved me a few years back!
