A living body guidance device includes: a measurement unitthat measures biometric information of a user; a stimulus unitthat is installed in contact with the user's body and presents a tactile stimulus to the user; a database unitthat has a relationship between the tactile stimulus presented by the stimulus unit and the biometric information according to the tactile stimulus recorded; an input unitthat sets target biometric information which is target biometric information that is desired of the user to realize; and a control unitthat, when there is a difference between current biometric information which is current biometric information of the user estimated based on the measurement result by the measurement unit and the target biometric information, controls the tactile stimulus presented by the stimulus unit so that the difference is reduced, so as to guide the user so that the current biometric information approaches the target biometric information, based on the relationship recorded in the database unit, by.

The number n of times of chewing is counted by chewing number of times calculation means () based on a change in the distance l from a photoreflector (), which is received together with time t by measurement value receiving means (). To vary hardness h of a bag () to a stage that can be sensed, according to the number n of times of chewing, a required air pressure is set according to the current number n of times, based on a hardness/air pressure correspondence recording unit () in which stages that have a significant difference therebetween and are stored in association with the number n of times of chewing are recorded. To realize the set air pressure inside the bag (), the amount of sucking performed using a vacuum pumpis controlled by air pressure control means ().
