※ This video is an excerpt from the January 25, 2025 broadcast of "Your Precious Body - Must-See, If You Have a Family History." Sangho, a lawyer with an irregular lifestyle and a diet of convenience foods like ramen and snacks, and Sangkwon, a physical education teacher who is confident in his health. Their uncles and father passed away from cerebrovascular disease. Unlike Sangho, who has been taking hyperlipidemia medication for two years after a thorough health checkup, Sangkwon prides himself on his healthy lifestyle... In the special "Your Precious Body Health Checkup" episode, "You Must-See, If You Have a Family History," the program conducts a thorough genetic and family history analysis, from blood tests to genetic testing. Professor Oh Sang-woo of the Department of Family Medicine at Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital said, "Genetics are crucial for preventing cancer and cardiovascular disease. Health checkups are essential for early detection, early treatment, and early cure." He added, "By following Korea's national health checkup system, most diseases can be detected early." △ The Inseparable Relationship Between Family History and Lifestyle People often avoid taking medications, citing side effects such as resistance. While improving diet and exercise habits can delay or control the onset of diseases, those with a family history cannot afford to let their guard down. Family history is something that cannot be controlled by lifestyle alone. If you have a family history of vascular disease, cholesterol medication and blood pressure medication are essentially preventative medications. Taking preventative medications to prevent various complications is a crucial key to avoiding the mistakes of your predecessors. In particular, if your LDL cholesterol level is high, the risk of arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke increases, so you should consult with a medical professional before starting medication. Additionally, to thoroughly manage your family history, you should check your levels through regular health checkups and seek early treatment if necessary. Professor Oh emphasizes that in addition to taking preventive medication, nutrition, diet, and exercise therapy are essential. Achieving a balance with these four therapies doubles the effectiveness of medication. Let's take a closer look at the dietary principles for overcoming family history, how to make a super-easy meal prep that's completely free of fat, and a full-body workout that stimulates blood vessels in every joint of the body. ✔ Program Name: Your Precious Body - Must Watch if You Have a Family History ✔ Broadcast Date: January 25, 2025 #ebshealth #yourpreciousbody #health #healthcheckup #familyhistory #exercise #lifestyle #genetics #cerebrovasculardisease #cerebralinfarction #cerebralhemorrhage #LDLcholesterol #bloodpressure #cholesterol #bloodvessels #vascularexercise
