1. About the Health Seminar for Women

Theme: How to Start Being Beautiful from Today

Session 1: How to Choose Convenience Store Foods to Build a Healthy Body. Instructor: Yuka Honda (senior researcher, Keio Research Institute at SFC)

In the Japanese fashion industry, there is a demand to be thin, with many "thin models" being hired, and we sometimes see shop staff engaging in unhealthy diets. It has been pointed out that improper weight loss methods can lead to health risks and have negative effects on childbirth. While answering questions such as "How can one become beautiful in a healthy way?" and "Why do young women's bodies work the way they do?", this session will explore how to build a healthy body starting with familiar convenience stores.

Content: - Appropriate BMI and body fat percentage for women

- The importance of protein
