Japan’s Oldest Doctor: Do This 10-Second Tongue Trick to Reduce Stroke Risk After 60
Many strokes do not begin suddenly. For most adults over 60, stroke risk builds quietly through years of nervous system strain, unstable blood pressure signaling, chronic tension, poor sleep, and weakened circulation control. The problem is that these early warning signs often look “normal” at first — a little dizziness, unsteady balance, waking too early, feeling on edge, or slower reaction time. In this episode of Senior Health Academy, host David sits down with Dr. Hinohara to explain a rarely discussed approach to stroke prevention after 60: restoring nervous system regulation. Instead of focusing only on numbers, this conversation breaks down how the nervous system acts like the conductor for blood vessel tone, heart rhythm, breathing, and brain blood flow — and how losing that regulation can quietly increase stroke vulnerability over time. Dr. Hinohara shares three gentle daily techniques designed to send a calming signal to the brain and body, helping circulation become steadier and pressure regulation more stable. These practices are simple, low-impact, and built for seniors who want realistic habits they can do at home without intense exercise or complicated routines. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why strokes often have silent warning signs long before an event • How nervous system imbalance affects blood pressure and circulation • A simple tongue posture method to reduce internal tension • How gentle humming supports calming pathways and rhythm • Why neck tension can restrict communication and brain blood flow • How to combine these habits naturally throughout your day These methods are supportive and educational and are not a replacement for medical care. If you have symptoms like sudden weakness, facial drooping, speech changes, severe headache, or sudden vision loss, seek emergency help immediately.
