Nishi-shiki Kenkōhō

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nishi-shiki Kenkōhō ( Japanese 西式 健康 法 , English Nishi Health System ) is a comprehensive system for maintaining health and stimulating body functions, which the Japanese Nishi Katsuzō ( 西 勝 造 , 1884-1959) developed and published in 1927.

Six health rules

  1. Sleep on a hard, level surface - not a mattress
  2. Use a hard, semicircular pillow that is placed under your neck
  3. Do the "Golden Fish" exercise in the morning and in the evening for 1–2 minutes each: lying on your back, cross both hands under your neck and vibrate your whole body lengthways like a fish snaking in the water
  4. The "exercise for the capillaries" also mornings and evenings: lying on your back, lift your arms and legs and shake them
  5. The exercise "putting hands and feet together"
  6. The exercise for the spine and stomach: sit upright and tilt your upper body far to the left and right to the side

Other important health rules are

  • Breathing exercises
  • Hardening by air and water baths (warm / cold)
  • only two meals a day: noon and evening
  • Eat at least three different types of raw vegetables a day
  • drinking water
