Many Japanese are scared of spring… !?
Thank you for taking the time to read the FB Management newsletter!
Japan has become warm and comfortable with the arrival of spring.🌷 However, at the same time, the number of people suffering from Japan’s unique hay fever has increased.
According to research conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, hay fever is the most common allergy in Japan, with approximately 30 million people affected domestically!
(Approx. 24% of the total population)
That’s the reason why many Japanese are scared of spring.
This time, we will talk about hay fever and introduce immune-boosting health foods!
Understanding Hay Fever: Unraveling the Allergic Response to Pollen
Pollen allergy, known as hay fever, is an allergic condition where the body’s immune system reacts excessively to a specific allergen called pollen.
This overreaction occurs when the body mistakenly recognizes harmless pollen as a harmful invader and triggers a defense response.
During this process, substances that cause inflammation are released, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itchy and watery eyes, and redness.😢
Addressing Hay Fever Woes: Enhancing Immunity
One way to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever is by improving immunity.
To boost immunity, it’s important to maintain a balanced diet, engage in moderate exercise, get enough sleep, and manage stress effectively as part of overall health management.
Foods that enhance immunity?
Foods that enhance immunity include natto. Natto contains not only natto bacteria but also components that boost immune function. Nattokinase is an enzyme found in natto bacteria and is responsible for the slimy texture of natto. Nattokinase is utilized as a supplement and health food.
Our recommendation is the natto bacteria from Kensho Co., Ltd.
We would like to recommend the supplements manufactured by Kensho Co., Ltd.
Kensho Co., Ltd. manufactures original supplements intending to achieve ‘true health’ by combining the traditional Eastern medicine concept of ‘Shokuyo’ (nutritional therapy) with the latest advancements in chemistry.
★★Natto Bacteria★★
Natto bacteria enter the stomach alive, supporting the proliferation of beneficial lactobacilli and creating new nutritional components.

Hi, I’m Matsumoto, the writer for this issue of FB Times.
I also suffer from hay fever, and my eyes get itchy. 😖 Although I haven’t undergone allergy testing, whenever hay fever is mentioned in the news, I immediately start wearing a mask, thinking, “Ah, here it comes!” There are various signs of spring, but for me, it’s definitely hay fever!
We’ll keep sharing more information about Japan, so stay tuned!
