Don’t let your guard down just because you’re young! What kind of health care should people in their 30s and 40s take?
A woman in her late 30s who works as a webtoon writer often sits down all day to work, and often works all night long. On days when I am pressed for deadlines, I barely have time to eat even one meal, so my meal times are irregular and I often order food delivered. Moreover, the last time I remember exercising was in middle school physical education class, so I don’t have time to exercise at all. As this irregular lifestyle continued, I rapidly gained over 40kg. Due to the increased weight, it became difficult to walk due to pain in the knees and ankles, and various diseases, including pre-diabetes, were discovered during health checkups. I’m afraid that I can no longer put off the health care I’ve been putting off because of things I have to do right away, but I’m just at a loss as to what kind of care I should take. Let’s find out how to manage your health in your 30s and 40s with a doctor.
In your 50s and 60s, aren’t you aging at twice the speed?
High blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are the three major chronic diseases most common in people in their 50s and 60s. If these diseases are not managed consistently, the aftermath will eventually manifest as life-threatening diseases such as ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, vascular dementia, and chronic kidney disease in people in their 70s and 80s. A man in his 50s is busy raising three children. Although he is obese and diabetic, he manages stress through the pleasure of eating, such as watching TV after dinner, snacking, and eating ramen for a late-night snack. However, in this test, he was diagnosed with a glycated hemoglobin level of 9.5, which means he needs to be hospitalized and take insulin injections to lower his blood sugar level. Diabetes was something he had thought lightly about until now, but he was shocked by the results and decided that things had to change from now on. What should we change to slow down aging, which has been progressing at twice the speed?
How to combat aging in your 70s and 80s
Senescence refers to the degree of aging that has accumulated over a long period of time. The main symptoms of aging are loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle weakness, slow walking, falling easily, and cognitive function decline. The causes of senescence are not only aging itself, but also a combination of factors such as unbalanced nutrition, decreased physical activity, drug side effects, and decreased social interaction, the most important of which is sarcopenia, which causes muscle loss. An 88-year-old woman received a perfect score on the ‘Short Form Physical Activity Capacity Test (SPPB)’ and was diagnosed with ‘no physical frailty.’ However, in old age, when people eat a lot of vegetables and mixed grains instead of protein, doctors advise that they should eat white rice and meat soup. He says that the most common misunderstanding in old age is ‘thinking you need to lose weight and lose weight.’ Let’s take a look at the health of old age, which we misunderstand, and find out exactly how to combat senescence.
A New Year’s special to learn how to practice slow aging through age-appropriate ‘life cycle-specific aging management methods’. The secret of slow aging, ‘Part 2: Humans Age Three Times’, will be held on Friday, January 10th at 9:55 PM. It will be broadcast on EBS 1TV and can be viewed again on the EBS website.
