On Saturday, December 28th at 9:55 PM, the episode ‘Rural Project: How to Live Healthy to 100’ will be broadcast on EBS.
△The average age is 80 years old. What is the health status of rural villages?
A rural village where there are two buses a day, and it takes a long time just to get to town. In Singi Village, Gangjin, Jeollanam-do, there is a gathering of elderly people who have made their lives through farming and sea work. As I get older, I feel pain all over my body, but I’m used to enduring it and can’t even think about going to a large hospital far away. Director Kim Hye-yeon of Shingi Health Clinic, who is responsible for the health of the village, manages the health of the elderly, but it is not easy to take care of each and every elderly person by herself, so she asked for help.
△The era of 100 years, now is the time to live for myself
A generation where family came before me. I never ate a balanced diet or exercised for my health until I was 90 years old. As we age, pain occurs throughout our bodies, but most of us live without knowing the cause or solution, relying only on intermittently prescribed medications. Not taking care of one’s own body, saying ‘it’s natural to get sick because you’re old’, is not just a problem in Shingi Village, but a problem for seniors in general. We are now in the age of 100, and now is the time to learn not just how to live long, but how to live ‘healthy’ for a long time.
△Special clinic opened in a rural village, solving health concerns in Singi Village!
Gastroenterology professor Kim Do-hoon (Asan Medical Center, Seoul) and integrated internal medicine professor Woo Chang-yoon (Asan Medical Center, Seoul) visited Shingi Village! Take the time to comprehensively review everything from your eating habits to your lifestyle habits and the medications you usually take. Elderly people from all over the village gathered at a special clinic set up in the village hall. The health of the village residents was carefully checked based on blood tests and body composition tests. Among them, a solution was introduced that directly visits seniors with symptoms that require in-depth treatment.
The digestive system becomes weaker as we age. What is the solution to indigestion of unknown origin? We provide special solutions by examining daily lifestyle habits and gastroscopy results. Old age faces inevitable changes in the body. For a happy retirement, Professor Kim Do-hoon, a gastroenterologist, prepared a special lecture on ‘How to eat well and digest well.’
An elderly couple in their 90s who could not find the community center. The husband, Kang Tae-hyung (male, 92 years old), who is taking care of his sick wife, always puts taking care of his wife before himself. There are plenty of medicines that I get from the hospital, but I just take them out of obligation without knowing what kind of medicine they are. Professor Woo Chang-yoon of the Department of Integrative Internal Medicine visited people’s homes and started a ‘medication diet’ that distinguishes between ‘medicines to take’ and ‘medicines to throw away’. Find out how to improve the side effects caused by taking medications and live a better old age.
Villagers whose backs and knees are bent from long days of farming and sea work.
