UNDERSTAND
READING
Sho got the results of his annual checkup. He’s reading the doctor’s advice.
ショウは年１回の会社の健康診断結果を受け取り、医者からのアドバイスを読んでいます。
 |
The results of your checkup are good. However, you are experiencing a lot of stress. Please take note of the following recommendations for a healthier, less stressful lifestyle:
- I suggest you get active. Do some physical activities outside of work like walking, jogging, or swimming.
- I recommend that you limit your alcohol as well.
- Try to get eight hours of sleep and eat three decent meals every day.
- Don’t work too hard.
If you do not see a big improvement in your stress level within the next few months, please come back for another checkup.
TRIVIA
In Japan, it is common for companies to schedule annual checkups, but this is unusual in many other countries. For example, in the United States, people usually schedule their own checkup because they don’t like the idea of sharing their health information with their employers.
日本の企業が、年１回の健康診断があるのは普通ですが、他の多くの国ではそうではありません。例えば、米国では自分の健康情報を雇用主と共有することは嫌がられるので、健康診断は大抵個人的に受けます。

Dear Aki,
Thank you for sending in your question! I’m sure a lot of people are wondering how to improve their health too.
To answer your question, many doctors say that a lot of people gain weight because of their unhealthy eating habits. Here are some personal tips to improve your health:
- I recommend that you eat 350g of vegetables every day.
- Don’t skip or delay meals. If you’re too hungry, you may overeat.
- I suggest you avoid eating three hours before bedtime.
