Giorgio, cosa fai nel tempo libero?

People who travel a lot will know the feeling — you've just landed in a country on the other side of the world, ready to explore and see the sights, but you're too tired to do anything!

Jet lag is usually linked with travel and changing time zones. But a new study has found that even small changes to our daily schedules can change our sleeping patterns.

And it's not just sleep that gets affected by a disrupted schedule — our bodies work differently when our daily patterns change.

The study, published in iScience, looked at how our bodies respond to a five-hour time change — similar to the kind of jet lag you'd feel after traveling from New York to London, for example.

It looked at people's circadian rhythm — our body's natural clock that controls when we sleep, when different hormones are released, and how our bodies use energy.

During the study, scientists observed 14 people in a lab for eight days.

On the first two days, the participants followed their normal daily schedules. But from the third day, the participants' meals, sleep and light exposure were changed to five hours later than normal.

The researchers tested the participants' blood and checked their digestion, energy use, and levels of melatonin — a hormone that helps control sleep by making you feel tired when it gets dark — to see how their bodies reacted to the time change.

The results showed that the five-hour time change made digestion slower, changed blood sugar levels, and affected how the body used fat. The body also burned less energy from food.

These things started to go back to normal after two or three days as the body adjusted to the new schedule.

One of the study's researchers, Jonathan Johnston, told StudyFinds this shows how sticking to a regular schedule can make a big difference to our health.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日はサウナについて話そうと思います。
みなさんはサウナに行きますか？

ぼくは今までほとんど行ったことがなかったんです。
ですが、最近行ってとても良かったのでその話をしようと思います。



サウナはフィンランドが発祥とされるようです。
石を積み上げたストーブを高温に加熱して、そこに水をかけて蒸気を発生させます。

室内温度は60〜90℃ぐらいです。

サウナに数分入った後、外に出て水風呂に入ったり、外の空気にふれた後、またサウナに入る、ということを繰り返します。これによって、体の中はアドレナリンがたくさん出ている興奮状態と体の外は外気温に触れてリラックスするという特別な状態が生まれます。

これが、最近の日本では"ととのう"という状態だそうです。Wikipedia情報ですが、間違ってたらすみません。

サウナに行っている人はそのとても気持ちいい状態があることは知っていると思います。

日常では味わうことのない、脱力感というか、開放感というか、そんな不思議な感覚です。

個人的には乾燥肌でアトピー性皮膚炎もあるので、発汗、汗をかくことはとても大切なんですね。ですので、僕にとっては健康でいるための良い方法だと思います。

体も気持ちもリフレッシュできるサウナ、もし行ったことがない人はぜひ行ってみてください！めっちゃ気持ちいいですよ！

ということで、今回は以上です。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
