Let's also do pairing for exercise!

 

 

For several years now, people around me have been pairing coffee with foods that go well with wine.

 

There is an increasing number of specialty cafes that offer menus pairing coffee and food together.

 

Shall I call it "a matching partner, a close friend"?

 

Usually, when eating beef like steak, red wine is served alongside.

 

White wine tends to be paired with light dishes.

 

There is a harmony of good texture and aroma there.

 

Similarly, coffee is often enjoyed with complementary desserts (such as bread, cake, chocolate, muffins, milk, oatmeal, etc.) recommended based on its origin or variety.

 

Complement each other by compensating for what is lacking and what suits well.

Combining them is called 'food pairing'.

 

In addition, we are also finding and developing various pairings to provide customers with unique and differentiated experiences.

 

Generally, if the food tastes heavy, pair it with a full-bodied wine, and if the food has a light flavor, complement it with a white wine.

 

Sourness adds freshness, creates balance, and leaves a clean impression on the palate and memory.

 

Just as you're about to finish ordering at a family restaurant, asking "Would you like a cola?" might also be considered the origin of food pairing.

 

When we try new local foods while traveling abroad, it leaves us with good memories and the joy of the trip.

 

However, the longer the period, the more suddenly I think of my hometown's traditional dishes or kimchi, which is unconsciously due to a sense of longing, a feeling that something is missing or lacking in the local cuisine, or a desire for improvement, as well as recalling good memories from the past.

 

There is a uniqueness as a single element, and complementary items also bring mutually good results.

 

Is pairing necessary for exercise 2? The conclusion is "Of course" and "Yes."

 

The top causes of death according to the National Statistical Office are cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders.

 

In the case of cancer, as living organisms age, the functioning of DNA tends to become less efficient, leading to spontaneous occurrences.

 

In the past, screenings were inadequate, not conducted, or people did not live long enough to be included in the death rankings, but as the average lifespan has exceeded 80 years, it has taken the top spot in mortality rankings.

 

The same applies to cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.

 

There is no disagreement that exercise is still the most effective way to prevent diseases or for rehabilitation as life expectancy increases.

 

It has now become common sense.

 

For the prevention and rehabilitation of cardiovascular diseases, aerobic exercises (such as running, walking, cycling, etc.) are likely the most cost-effective, while strength training is beneficial for musculoskeletal disorders.

 

If compared to a vehicle, strength training corresponds to the chassis and exterior, while aerobic exercise relates to internal engine components such as power production, transmission, control, and convenience devices.

 

If these two are managed harmoniously according to the management manual, the vehicle will be able to be used safely and for a long time beyond expectations.

 

Otherwise, in comparison to the year model, the appearance, performance, and output will be significantly inferior.

 

The health of a person is the same.

 

While it is okay to focus on just one type of exercise, I firmly believe that if you can well balance the number of repetitions or time between two types of exercises—aerobic and anaerobic—you will maintain your health relatively well and live a much more successful life than your expected lifespan.
