The University of Shizuoka publishes the program of the 24th Shizuoka Forum on Health and Longevity in its web page. The scientific forum for our healthy and long lives will be held on 9th and 10th November in this year as one of the programs in the World Tea Festival 2019.
This annual forum has been organized under the leadership of University of Shizuoka. As for the recent forums, Prof. Nakamura, one of the most famous tea researchers in Japan, has significantly contributed. For the people in the United Tea Estates of Shizuoka, tea has been the greatest topic for our health and longevity.
Thus many prominent tea researchers will speak at the Shizuoka Forum on Health ad Longevity. Some professors introduced on the past post will join in the forum. Prof. Hiroshi Yamada and Prof. Yoriyuki Nakamura.
Unfortunately the program is written in only Japanese. So I tried to translate the program as follows. If you get interested in, it is recommended to visit the World Tea Festival 2019 and join the forum!
