尿意との戦い
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Speaking of toilets in the morning and the night time.
Toilets in the morning and the night time, okay.
You know, I worry about how fast I want to pee after drinking water.
Okay.
Does that worry you as well?
Yes, yes.
I mean like, so we both know that you go to the toilet often, right?
And then we joke about that. The team jokes about that.
But like, does that worry you medically?
Yeah, once I was worrying about that.
But recently, no, I don't care anymore.
It's just my physical, I don't know, physical 特性.
So I don't, I'm not worrying about that.
If there's like a disease or like malfunction and everything, I don't think about like that.
You know, I, whatever I drink, like it comes out, I'm very fast too.
Okay.
I don't know, maybe just as fast as you.
But like, what I'm more concerned about is the inability to hold it in.
It's not going to come out, but like, it's like I have to go to the bathroom like really quick.
Yeah.
That kind of worries me.
I see.
Like, you know, maybe the holding in strength is getting weaker.
You know, that's a sign of getting old, maybe.
Yeah.
I don't know, weaker.
And that worries me.
Yeah.
No, does that worry you?
Yeah.
I heard that you can train yourself of keeping in holding.
By actually holding it in a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And since then, I've been kind of trying it.
Okay.
But not that severely, like heavily.
How is it?
Is it working?
I think so.
I feel like it's becoming better than when I was, I don't know, years ago, all college students.
You can hold it in more?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
Still, I go to the bathroom like really often, but it feels like it's better than the past time.
Okay, I'll work on it.
Yeah.
How long do you hold it in?
So, I don't know.
I don't know.
It depends on time, but even like two, three minutes can be the first step, I guess.
I see.
I see.
So, like years ago, I felt that I, oh, I need to go to pee and just go to the toilet.
Yeah.
Every time, just instantly or even before that.
Okay.
Because I was worrying about, you know, the place.
For example, like going on a train, I don't have any toilets.
So, I don't even feel it, but I have to go and do it.
Yeah, just to make sure.
Yeah, and I think that's not really, really good to train your body, your system.
Yeah.
So, right now, I don't do that.
I'd rather like hold as much as possible.
Right, right.
健康に関する意見の対立
And, yeah, I feel it works.
Oh, okay.
I'll try that.
Yeah.
But at the same time, if you hold it too much, you will be in trouble, like vocal ends and everything.
That's so difficult.
That is so difficult.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The more I get into the world of health, the more I hear the opposite, you know, opinions.
And that's so difficult to navigate through.
Right, right.
Sometimes there are like bottles between like people.
True.
Yeah.
That's so true.
Yeah.
One is saying like this is really good for your health and one is completely the opposite.
I know.
Fighting together.
I know.
It's just, I don't know how.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
All these like research papers that they're basing their opinions on, some people are like, hey, those only work for Western people.
It's not optimized for Japanese.
We have a different sort of body, so it's, you can't, you have to look at it from a Japanese perspective.
I'm like, well, that makes sense as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, yeah.
True.
Yeah.
All right.
研究論文の検索方法
Have you looked at those papers, by the way?
Have you ever checked any of those like, you know, those professionals, they try to, they cite all these like research?
The health, you mean?
Yeah, anything like, you know, research done by an actual legit.
Yeah.
Where do you go to check them?
So there are, so one you have, I, so when I was a college student, I read a bunch of those papers.
Oh, okay.
So one was like Google has paid, I'm not sure if I paid or like allowed because I was a student.
Maybe, but they have like, the Google has the service that you can search those papers.
Every research.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And the other one was like, I thought that was maybe the professor paid for that system, I guess.
Okay.
And where you can search those papers online.
Right, right, right.
And you can read everything, academic, those papers.
Yeah, those papers.
Yeah.
But maybe you can do that on Google.
What do you, what's the keyword for that?
True.
But maybe like.
論文検索.
Yeah, maybe you have like 論文検索データベース in Japanese too.
But I'm not sure that has like for everything.
Google Scholar?
Google Scholar, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it feels like I can look at it for free.
So you don't have to pay anything for that.
You can download PDF.
Downloadable?
Yeah.
Is it easy to read these?
Difficult?
I would say relatively difficult compared to like, I would say, you know, the usual.
Yeah, articles.
Yeah, it contains many 専門用語 and difficult ways.
Yeah, okay.
And also, usually one paper, what one paper says is really a small thing.
You have to collect all these different research papers to have a bird's eye view of what's going on.
It's just saying, trying, applying this medicine, this medicine and differences like this.
That's all kind of.
You really can't do anything with only that.
Yeah, you have to collect the information and of course they have like conclusions and like visions.
Can be used in this situation as well.
So you can understand kind of whole concept.
But, you know, it's really tiny.
You have to collect information.
I see.
Yeah.
I see.
Okay.
Interesting.
What is this?
I don't know what it's saying.
貧乳改善剤およびその代謝物のもるもと適室防抗標本に対する作用。
Way too difficult.
But they have like 貧乳改善剤.
Oh, okay.
The medicine.
Right, right, right, right.
And they do a test for the もるもと.
ぼんたん飴の効果
You know, right now on social media, what's going viral is when you eat ぼんたん飴.
Okay.
That really prevents you from peeing.
So like if there's an event happening, maybe a live concert or something, like you have several hours of non-access to bathrooms.
ぼんたん飴.
ぼんたん飴.
And then they say it actually works.
Okay.
And drugstores, they sell a bunch of ぼんたん飴 right now.
Yeah.
Well, I love ぼんたん飴.
So it tastes tasty.
Right, right, right.
Maybe it's worth a shot.
Yeah.
Maybe if there's an event.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
True.
Right.
Is it good?
What?
Like, holding water.
Like, if you don't pee, that means you...
You're gonna hold in water?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you drink like this, then you'll keep all those water inside your body.
Yeah.
True.
I wonder how bad it is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
At the same time, because I'm feeling like drink it and put waters out.
Yeah.
But it itself is a kind of good thing.
Yeah, the circulation.
Yeah, circulation.
Fresh.
So if you stop the circulation and use it like...
You know, a lot of people suffer from like 便便, right?
And they say like, oh, I've not pooped in a week.
You know, that's much more...
That's liquid.
It's liquid.
So it feels like it's lighter.
But like, you're talking about shit?
Yeah.
That's a week worth of shit in your body?
That's pretty like...
That's pretty big too, right?
Yes.
It's true.
So if that's happening...
It's true.
Maybe the 本当め thing, it's not that bad compared to, you know?
You see, I've never had trouble with 便便.
I always wonder, like those people who can't shit for like a week.
If they come out, do they poop out like a week worth of poop?
That's right.
Do they poop out like a week worth of poop when they do?
That's my question.
And does it feel really, really good after they do it?
It must be feeling so nice.
It's like it's all out there now.
Like it's all empty.
Does it feel good?
Yeah, yeah.
Must be.
Yeah.
Try that.
Try the 本当め.
Yeah, try the 本当め.
Right.
Alright.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
