This site is about the diseases which are caused by fatness. I was surprised when I read it, because lots of diseases are concerned with fatness. Please check this site!

Like this, there are lots of problems. Therefore if we are fat, we have to exercise. Recently there are many exercises. I’ll introduce about Yoga!! Yoga is popular in the world including Japan, especially women.

This site is written about Yoga. The origin of yoga is 4,500 years ago in India. I was surprised about that, because I didn’t know the origin of yoga. Also, there is the Japan Yoga Meditation Association. The purpose of the society is to popularize yoga. Please check this site!

My Laughter File:

This site is about The Japan Society for Laughter and Humor Studies (JSLHS). It was established in 1994. The purpose of the society is studying about laughter and humor, and recognizing laughter deeply and contributing to the culture of laughter.
