Life in Tokyo is full. Work, travel, social events, long commutes. It is easy to get caught up in the pace and only think about your health when something goes wrong.
But real health is built before you get sick, injured, or burned out.
Your immune system, nervous system, and hormones all rely on how well you take care of your body day to day. The stronger your foundation, the better you handle stress, recover from illness, and show up in your life.
Focus on the Fundamentals
You do not need a complicated routine. You need consistency with the basics:
Move your body: Walk, lift, run, do yoga, or join a class. The best exercise is the one you will actually do regularly.
Eat real food: Prioritize protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and whole foods. Reduce sugar, excess alcohol, and ultra processed meals.
Get sunlight and fresh air: Even a short daily walk outside improves your energy, mood, sleep, and vitamin D levels.
Support your nervous system: Your spine and nervous system control how your body adapts to stress. Regular chiropractic care helps your body regulate, recover, and function at a higher level.
You Have More Control Than You Think
Many of the health challenges people struggle with today are heavily influenced by lifestyle. That means you have the ability to change your trajectory starting now. You do not need perfect habits. You need consistent ones.
