Apart from development of medical technology, how we prevent disease has been an important issue.
Moreover, it has become clear that the diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, which lead to the cause of death for a great portion of Japanese, are often caused by lifestyle factors and the outbreak of such diseases could possibly be prevented by changing lifestyle.
At this seminar, the lecturers discuss developments in lifestyle especially paying attention to food.
First a lecture was given from a viewpoint of caloric restriction and balance in relevance to healthy eating habits, next the effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on nutrition absorption, and finally oriental holistic foods concepts and the relationship between diet and disease.
We held a discussion based on this lecture. and we reviewed the relation between diet and disease, the affect of acupuncture and moxibustion on nutrition absorption, and the view of the holistic meal as part of oriental medicine. Finally a useful possibility for combining diet with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy was suggested.

Aim:The usefulness of high-density barium, which was made to 150w/v% (MIX150), was examined to obtain better radiographs of the intestines. Methods: “MIX150” was compared with existing pharmaceutical “BAM100” to evaluate x-ray images (barium adhesion, dryness evaluation). MIX150 was used in 232 patients (mean age 56 years), while BAM 100 in 210 patients (mean age 55 years). Results: In terms of adhesion, MIX150 was excellent in the the cecum significantly and in dryness evaluation, in the entire region of the colon. Conclusion: High-density barium (150w/v%) was useful for enhancing the quality of radiographic images.
