Overview

The book informs readers on how to live a long and healthy life with lifestyle medicine, promoted in major U.S. medical schools, including Harvard, Yale and Stanford.

Book Intro

The average life expectancy for a South Korean is 83. While average life expectancy has constantly increased since 1970, health-adjusted life expectancy has continued to decline to only 64 years. In other words, Koreans spend nearly two decades in pain or with a disease. In most cases, this “sick period” is concentrated in the age groups older than the middle-aged. Now, as so-called lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and chronic illnesses, emerge as major causes of death, the world is searching for a new solution.

 

Lifestyle medicine promoted by major U.S. medical schools including Harvard, Yale and Stanford is at the center of such research. This innovative trend has professors of medicine teach how to cook and shop for groceries, and medical specialists at hospitals prescribe new habits instead of medication. And the doctor who introduced this innovation in South Korea was Professor Kim Sunsin from the Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center, Korea’s highest authority in health screening.

 

Dr. Kim has unparalleled experience in the field of lifestyle medicine and has actively adopted it to the Lifetime Health Management Clinic, gaining the ardent support of those who have had their health examined. Dr. Kim does not simply approach the topic theoretically. She has personally proved the effects of lifestyle medicine by competing in a bodybuilding contest, walking up the staircase of a 39-story building, and sticking to a prescribed diet by packing her own lunch every day.

 

This book introduces actual cases where lifestyle medicine was applied along with their theoretical background, and it shares specific tips that can be applied in everyday life. Thus, it presents sustainable and realistic ways to manage a lifetime of health that anyone can put into practice immediately. Instead of simply telling readers “not to eat too much salt,” the book informs readers on how to choose a menu and ways that they can actually reduce sodium intake when cooking. The book introduces concrete and practical information, such as a diet strategy in response to company dinners or parties, and a step-by-step plan to break away from caffeine or carbohydrate addiction. When prescribing exercise, the book recommends workouts according to specific situations and provides precautionary tips and videos (via QR codes) demonstrating the main movements, solving the greatest problem in health management--the challenge of putting it into practice.
