Diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, cancer······
Rather than managing it with medication for the rest of your life, you need to know the root cause and prevent it!

This book explores the "real causes" of chronic diseases that threaten modern life, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, osteopenia, sarcopenia, chronic constipation, and cancer, and presents "alternatives that can prevent and cure them."
Despite advanced medical technology, why are chronic diseases not eradicated? This book finds the answer in the limitations of modern medicine and the absence of lifestyle therapies.
“Chronic diseases are not an inevitable consequence of aging, but rather a result of poor lifestyle habits.”
The author has run a pharmacy for 47 years, analyzing health information, gathering voices from the field, and questioning existing health common sense and treatment methods.
It calls for a reexamination of even the common belief that eating lightly, drinking plenty of water, and drinking milk are good for your health, and emphasizes that systematic and scientific health habits are the most certain way to prevent and recover from disease.

The author reflects on the process by which humanity has overcome infectious diseases and extended lifespans, and argues that we now need a strategy to respond to the "new enemy called chronic disease."
While antibiotics and vaccines have conquered infectious diseases, chronic diseases must be approached with a complex mix of immune system, energy management, and lifestyle habits.
It examines the causes of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, osteopenia, sarcopenia, and chronic constipation, as well as the limitations of existing treatments, and suggests practical solutions based on the root causes.
In particular, the author's explanation that "the real beginning of aging is a decrease in energy production in mitochondria within cells" is persuasive.

Above all, the strength of this book is that it focuses on prevention rather than treatment and on lifestyle habits rather than drugs.
The author emphasizes to readers that “to regain health, you need the wisdom to study and practice on your own, rather than waiting for a doctor’s prescription.”
Chronic diseases are diagnosed late and symptoms accumulate, so early response and habit improvement are the only answers.
This book is a 'lifestyle health guide' that guides you on the path to reflecting on your own body and life and becoming the master of your own health.

There are people who live healthy lives, but the problem is that many people are too busy trying to make a living to care about it and don't know how to solve the fundamental problem, so they end up taking medication for the rest of their lives.
It is surprisingly easy to prevent diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, osteopenia, sarcopenia, chronic constipation, and cancer.
However, these diseases occur because people do not sufficiently understand or practice preventive measures.
Even if these chronic diseases appear, there are many cases where they are automatically resolved if preventive measures are taken in the early stages.
But because you don't know how to prevent it, you have to take products that control the disease for the rest of your life, and you literally just control it and end up suffering from the disease.
If diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, osteopenia, sarcopenia, or chronic constipation are severe or long-standing, it is difficult to resolve them in a short period of time.
However, the important thing is that if you practice preventive measures well, your symptoms will improve, even if it is a little late.

While the drug descriptions claim that the drugs are “diabetic,” “hypertension,” or “hyperlipidemic,” some companies are now using the terms “hyperglycemic agent” and “hypertensive agent.”
Pharmaceutical companies and experts know better than anyone that these drugs are useless for a cure.
If taken for 10 to 30 years or more, complications may occur or symptoms may become more severe, and the dosage may also increase.
Even if you only had one adult disease, there are many cases where other adult diseases are added to the mix and you end up living with three or four or more adult diseases.
If that happens, the number of medications taken can exceed 20 to 30.
Why does this phenomenon occur? I believe it's because life expectancy has increased, leading to a population explosion and improved nutrition and affluent lifestyles, leaving little room for prevention of age-related diseases.
You might ask, “How much information about health is out there these days on TV, in newspapers, on the internet, and on YouTube?”
Yes, that's right.
Although health information is abundant, information that accurately identifies the root cause is rare.
So the problem is that we are not practicing accurate prevention methods.
This is also because, although we do our best in the health methods we practice, they are not perfect.
In addition, in the midst of the fierce competition and the busyness of making a living, it is a reality that many people eat too much and lead irregular lifestyles, which harms their health.

However, many people do not try to practice proper lifestyle or do it half-heartedly and do not achieve the desired results.
As the saying goes, “If you lose your health, you lose everything.” If you are going to put it into practice, I recommend that you push forward resolutely and with the utmost precision.
Correct and accurate common sense about health is very important.
And we must accurately recognize the problem of food overload, which is the biggest problem today.
Our ancestors had to endure disease and short lifespans because they had to work so hard while lacking food.
We need to face and wake up to the fact that the prevalence of age-related diseases is increasing due to the inability to control the abundance of food since ancient times.
This book also clearly emphasizes the importance of what we eat and drink for true health, disease prevention, and early healing.

Whether you are in a healthy state before diabetes or at the threshold of developing diabetes, the early stages that are not severe can often be resolved with preventive measures alone.
However, if you have uneven lifestyle habits, are not careful about what you eat, or have chronic diabetes, you may need additional sugar-free diet, detox, and sugar-eliminating supplements.
It is wise to consistently practice additional methods to prevent diabetes from worsening or developing complications.
Let's summarize and summarize what we've covered so far.
First, if you don't convert glucose into energy and use it through work and exercise, blood sugar control is difficult.
Second, blood sugar control becomes difficult when sugar toxins attach to red blood cells, albumin in the blood, insulin, or insulin receptors on cells.
Third, we must put into practice the wisdom to prevent not only diabetes but also high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cancer by prioritizing the proportion of food in the order of vegetables, protein, and resistant carbohydrates (multigrain rice).
Fourth, it is ideal to eat only as much energy as you use each day, or to consume only as much energy as the amount of food you eat each day.
This concept is most important in controlling blood sugar levels.
But today, with so many mouth-watering foods, we often end up eating more than we expend.
Overeating habits will eventually come back to haunt you like a boomerang.
Since it appears after 10 years at the earliest and 30 years at the latest, most people tend to let their guard down.
If you go there and say 'Oops!', it's already too late.

What should you do if your blood pressure averages over 90/140 millimeters of mercury over the past week? Should you immediately start taking medication to control high blood pressure? Or should you carefully consider the cause of your high blood pressure and, if so, correct any unhealthy lifestyle habits? Furthermore, if a parent, sibling, or grandparent has suffered a stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, or other illness, many worry about inheriting the condition.
If you overwork or strain your body without managing your blood pressure or blood vessels, there is a high chance that your genetic condition will appear.

However, even if your grandparents or parents had cardiovascular disease, if you manage your blood pressure and blood vessels well, you are much more likely to avoid the same disease as your ancestors.
In other words, unlike your grandparents or parents, you need to know how to live a healthy lifestyle to avoid getting sick.
If you try to solve the problem with only medication without knowing or being interested in healthy lifestyle methods, the chances of failure increase.
Even if you take medication to control your blood pressure, your chances of avoiding cardiovascular disease are much higher if you practice a healthy lifestyle that cleanses and strengthens your blood vessels.

At some point, cholesterol became the natural enemy of humans.
Is cholesterol necessarily bad for humans? From birth to growth, the human body requires enormous amounts of fat and cholesterol.
So our body produces its own cholesterol.
We only get 20% of the cholesterol we need through food, and the liver makes 80%.
And the cell membranes, which number as many as 50 trillion, are mostly composed of phospholipids.
Cell membranes require a lot of cholesterol.
Cholesterol is an essential material for the production of various hormones, including adrenal cortex hormones and sex hormones.
In addition, it is also a material for producing bile, which is necessary for digesting fat.
So, cholesterol is an essential and important component.
But at some point, cholesterol became synonymous with vascular deposits.
So, cholesterol has been identified as the main cause of high blood pressure, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and cerebral hemorrhage.
The obsession with lowering cholesterol levels at all costs is taking a toll on people around the world.

First, height begins to decrease in the mid-50s and continues to decrease as you age from 60 to 100.
Teeth also vary greatly depending on the constitution, but in people in their 40s, the jawbone (alveolar bone) and teeth become weak.
In addition, if the periodontal ligament (periodontal ligament) is weakened, inflammation occurs and the teeth become loose or fall out, so the existing teeth must be replaced with implants.
The number of people getting implants increases from their 50s, and when the condition worsens in their 70s or 80s, they may get dentures.
Some people with a healthy constitution use their teeth for a long time.
It would be better to prevent osteopenia before the age of 40, but most people do not plan to prevent it in advance.
Most people become interested in osteopenia after the age of 50 or 60, when they have inflammation in the root of the tooth, have implants, or have musculoskeletal diseases.
It is common to let your guard down if osteopenia has already begun but there is no major illness.
However, when there are many breakdowns, it takes a long time to repair and the cost increases, so there are many cases where you can't do anything and just give up.
