Sit Less, Move More, Live Longer, Says Study
As a new year begins, many of us have been making plans for the months ahead — things we want to do, places we want to go, and parts of our lives we want to change.

And one study from 2022 has some simple advice to share that we might be able to use in 2023: sit less, move more.

Okay, so it's not a new message, but the researchers found that the results of their large study provide more evidence that long periods of sitting are bad for our health.

This is true across the world, but especially in lower-income countries, they said.

The researchers followed more than 105,000 adults — aged between 35 and 70 — for an average of around 11 years.

They looked at how much time the participants — who were from 21 different countries — spent sitting down each day.

And they also wanted to know about their health as the years passed. In total, there were more than 6,200 deaths and almost 5,700 cases of serious heart problems during the study.

Using this information, the researchers found that people who said they sat for eight or more hours per day were at a much higher risk of early death or serious heart disease.

These people were increasing their risk by as much as 20%, according to the researchers, but they added that doing exercise could help reduce these risks.

Scott Lear, who was one of the study's authors, said: "It's a global problem that has a remarkably simple fix. Scheduling time to get out of that chair is a great start."

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

さて、今回は久しぶりに関西弁の話をしようと思います。
日本語のオンラインレッスンをしている時に、関西弁に興味がある方によく会います。標準語とは違うイントネーションがあって特徴的なので、好きな人も多いみたいですね。

アニメで関西弁がよく出てくることもあるので、そういうところから関西弁を知る人も多いようです。

で、僕は大阪で生まれ、30歳ぐらいまでずっと大阪で育ったので、強い関西弁、いわゆるコテコテな関西弁ではないですが、イントネーションは強くのこっています。今こうやって話している時も、たぶん関西弁のイントネーションが出てると思いますが、自分では気づいていないことも多いです。

妻も大阪出身なので、2人でいるとさらに関西弁が強くなります。ですので、今こうやって話している時よりも、いつもはもっと関西弁で話している、という感じです。

で、関西弁あるあるの話があります。
あるあるはそういうことがよくある、ということですね。そういう傾向がある。僕たちは日本でも4つの都道府県に住んだことがあって、僕は10回以上引越したことがあります。

それぞれの場所で、その土地の方言はあります。岡山もありますし、鳥取もありましたし、北海道もあります。だけど、関西弁がぬけることがありません。少しはその土地のイントネーションはうつるんですが、反対に、その土地の人が関西弁ぽくなったり、関西弁のマネをしはじめたりします。

それこそ、今僕の妻は関西から転勤してきたこともあって、職場では、ちょっとした関西弁ブームになっています。

それぐらい、特徴的で人の耳に残りやすいイントネーションなのかもしれません。僕自身もそんな関西弁はめっちゃ好きなので、これはこれからもずっとぬける気がしません。

また関西弁の言葉もPodcastで話していきますね！

みなさんは、方言、ありますか？
それはぬけないですか？変わりましたか？

そんな話もぜひオンラインレッスンでしましょう！
ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
