This is Informatin of Energetic Life. This time we'll be talking about saliva.
Saliva plays important roles such as acting as a digestive fluid, protecting mucous membranes, and suppressing bacterial growth. As we age, the amount of saliva secreted decreases due to factors such as stress, medication, and a decrease in chewing ability. To prevent this, try the following:
1 Drink plenty of fluids.
2 Stimulate your mouth by brushing your teeth and rinsing your mouth.
3 Chew your food thoroughly.
4 Massage the salivary glands (from under the ear to the jaw area).
5 Move your mouth and tongue often.
(Tongue rolling, etc.)

こんにちは！「いきいき元気メール」です。今回は「唾液のはなし」です。
唾液（つば）は、「消化液としてはたらく」、「粘膜を保護する」、「細菌の増殖をおさえる」など、大切な役割をはたしています。
私たちは年齢を重ねるとストレスや薬の影響、かむ力の低下などが原因で、唾液の分泌量が減ってしまいます。予防のため、次のことを心がけましょう。
1 こまめに水分補給をする。
2 歯みがきやうがいをして口の中を刺激する。
3 よくかんで食べる。
4 唾液腺（耳下〜顎のあたり）のマッサージをする。
5 口や舌をよく動かす。（舌まわしなど）
