I have new found respect for people traveling from abroad- esp where long hours and transit is involved. I am just amazed so many tournament fighters come! We are so blessed...
Now I am back home from Poland, my immunity is a bit funny from the travel...so I thought of sharing some tips for those who are coming over to Japan again next year... (^^)
1) Be religious about Vitamin C's from raw food and good supplements.
Vitamin C boosts our immunity and a powerful antioxidants. It gets rid of flu and cold and prevents it from first place. They increase our antibodies and white blood cells.
Get Vitamin C from Camu camu berries, broccoli, strawberries, kiwi, goji berries to name a few.
2) Vitamin D intake from the sun....!
Do wear sunscreen but studies have shown people with low level of Vitamin D in the blood had greater risk of cold and flu. Or you can get them (like I do) from good quality supplements and from foods like sardines and tuna.
Get Vitamin D from Flaxseed oil if you are vegan.
3) Probiotic- the friendly bacteria.
We all need friends- on the inside as well as outside! 80% of our immune system resides in our tummy. Therefore we need to nurture healthy environment for the microorganism to flourish...
Can get them from Miso and kimchee, sauerkraut.
4) Sleep Please.
Snoozing is the most important of all. You cannot replenish yourself with derived sleep...
My next blog I will speak more about the visit to Poland. I fell in love with how pretty the city was....!

I think my eyes are getting dim as I celebrate more of my birth day.... ^^;
Just some tips to help with your eyesight. Gradual deterioration (of the eye sight) is I guess part of living but the good news is it is preventable and in some cases treatable.
1) Have regular eye examination.
2) Watch your weight.
3) Wear sunglasses.
4) Stop SMOKING~!
5) Good diet for the eyes.
A breakdown on what I wrote above...
1) My sister who had blurred vision in her teens found out she had a rare retinal disorder- which she was able to prevent the progression to the max with effective treatment.
2) Being over weigh increases the risk of glaucoma and Age related macular degeneration (AMD). Over weight is related to diabetes as well- which can lead to diabetic retinopathy.
3)The UV rays are killer to your eyes. It damages your eyes so badly some studies have shown it increases the risk of cataracts and AMD.
4) Not only bad for lungs, mouth etc... smokers are likely to lose their sight twice as much more than non-smoker.
Mini- fasts can help your vision tremendously. Minerals such as zinc and selenium found in nuts and seeds are helpful too!

Is it all necessary~~~?
I am swamped right now with by-laws, rules, regulations, constitution, agreements, contracts, etc- and I am wondering why do we need so much regulations to begin with? (NON Kyokushin related one's as well!)
Someone once said, "Why is it so hard to trust someone and I say why is it so hard to keep a promise?" I think I found this on Twitter, but ain't it true?
My passion is reading scriptures and yogic texts because that is also a form of guideline to me. Like the Dojo Kun from Sosai, it has the spirit of the writer in those sentences. But why the continual enforcement generally? Are we so inept at controlling our seven deadly sins that we need police, detectives, surveillance camera etc...
Then again, we are all here to burn our karmic residue hopefully in this lifetime--- perhaps we are all in need to be regulated! (The great news is, once we see it- we can handle it.... no?)

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid trap of thinking you have something to lose.- Steve Jobs
It is peaceful here in Tokyo and Honbu- like storm had finally passed after the memorial tournament.
(^^)
Excuse me for the MIA but I have been so busy - ! I will be back here again very soon~~~!

Computer mind and Yoga....
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. — Steve Jobs, speaking at Stanford University's commencement, June 2005
