HEALTH – Keeping Tabs on My Physical and Emotional Wellbeingとりわけ食生活はとても大切。仕事で外食も多いので、自宅では野菜、果物を中心としたフレッシュな素材を調理し、加工食品はほとんど食べません。また運動も欠かさず、常に体力づくりに励んでいます。精神的なバランスもとても重要で、ストレスマネジメントも自分でモニターしつつ、早い切り替えで「ストレス貯金」を作らないように日頃から心がけています。
Diet is especially important. Since I eat out while on assignments, I make a point of cooking with fresh ingredients – mainly fruits and vegetables – when I’m at home and eat very little in the way of prepared foods. I also keep myself in good physical condition by exercising religiously. Emotional balance, of course, is also key, so I monitor my stress level, taking care to redirect my attention to different activities to avoid becoming overstressed.
そのような経験から、食、スポーツ、ヒーリングなどニューヨークならではの健康法を扱った番組も制作し、日本に紹介してきました。
I’ve even used what I’ve learned about topics like food, sports, and healing to create a Japanese television program on approaches New Yorkers take for staying physically and emotionally fit.
I’ve been working in video production for around 20 years now and, as a freelancer, my health is a form of capital. Having to constantly deal with the irregular hours of television production, jet lag, and changes in my surroundings, I pay particular attention to monitoring my physical and emotional wellbeing.

Refreshing with One-Day Fasts!
|
Occasionally, there are days when I’ve eaten too many sweets or had a bit too much to drink, and I think that’s OK. What’s important is maintaining balance. For me, that means fasting – or cleansing by taking in only fluids in the form of fruit juice, herb tea, or water – the day after I’ve overindulged. It’s great for refreshing an overstressed body!
