땡땡이 25.03.04Views 162Likes 4 15 Ways for Hypertension Patients to Lower Blood Pressure Without Medication[3]
I wonder what the problem is with having high blood pressure, but hypertension is one of the main causes of overall health deterioration. If systolic and diastolic blood pressure are 140/90 mmHg or higher, medication treatment is definitely necessary, but even the pre-hypertensive stage, which is just below that, should be managed through lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure. Here are 15 ways to lower blood pressure without medication, summarized from the American health media 'Medical News Today'. 1️⃣ Walk or exercise regularly Exercise is the simplest and most effective way to lower blood pressure. Regular exercise helps the heart supply blood efficiently, which aids in lowering blood pressure. According to verified reports, walking for just 30 minutes a day can help reduce blood pressure, and the more exercise you do, the greater the reduction in blood pressure. Reduce your sodium intake. For people who already have high blood pressure, it is good to check whether controlling sodium intake affects blood pressure fluctuations. 3. Avoid drinking alcohol Although some studies suggest that small amounts of alcohol can protect the heart, if it raises blood pressure regardless of heart protection, it is of no use. It is best to avoid alcohol as much as possible. Eat foods high in potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral necessary for our body. It helps the body eliminate sodium on its own and reduces pressure on blood vessels. Potassium is found abundantly in fresh fruits and vegetables. It can be consumed through melons, bananas, avocados, oranges, milk, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, tuna, salmon, nuts, and beans. Reduce caffeine intake. Even just drinking a cup of coffee before measuring blood pressure can immediately cause an increase in blood pressure. There is disagreement in the academic community about whether caffeine also causes long-term increases in blood pressure. However, since even temporary blood pressure spikes can be sufficiently dangerous for hypertensive patients, caution with caffeine intake is definitely necessary. 6️⃣ Manage your stress Chronic stress causes the body to remain tense, leading to a rapid heartbeat and constricted blood vessels. It is important to avoid stressful situations as much as possible, and if avoidance is difficult, efforts such as practicing yoga or listening to music are necessary to calm the mind. 7️⃣ Eat dark chocolate and cocoa Small amounts of dark chocolate or cocoa powder contain a high level of 'flavonoids,' which help dilate blood vessels. Many studies have shown that chocolate and cocoa can benefit short-term heart health. However, it is advisable not to consume them in excessive amounts and to choose products with low sugar content. 8️⃣ Lose weight If you are overweight or obese, weight loss should be the priority. According to a study published in 2016, losing just 5% of body weight significantly improves hypertension. Losing weight helps blood vessels to expand and contract more effectively. Combining diet control with exercise doubles the blood pressure-lowering effect. Quit smoking. High blood pressure negatively affects heart health, and smoking on top of that is akin to encouraging the development of heart disease. Smoking temporarily raises blood pressure, and the chemicals in cigarettes are also known to damage blood vessels. Smoking while having high blood pressure is like jumping into a fire pit on your own. Reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates It is easy to think that simply avoiding sweet or salty foods, but refined carbohydrates like rice or wheat flour also quickly absorb into our bodies as sugar and have negative effects. There is also research showing that people taking blood pressure medication experience greater blood pressure reduction when they reduce carbohydrate intake. Eat berries such as strawberries and blueberries. Berry fruits are not only delicious but also contain a lot of natural compounds called 'polyphenols' that are good for the heart. Through numerous studies, polyphenols have been shown to reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and diabetes, as well as improve high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation. 1️⃣2️⃣ Practice meditation and deep breathing Meditation and deep breathing activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to relax the body, lower the heart rate, and even reduce blood pressure. If you're unsure how to do it, try closing your eyes and taking slow breaths for 30 seconds. Eat foods rich in calcium. Insufficient calcium intake can often lead to high blood pressure. However, it is better to obtain calcium through regular foods rather than supplements. Although calcium supplements do not help lower blood pressure, research shows that obtaining calcium through diet can be beneficial. The recommended daily calcium intake for adults is 1,000 mg. Find natural supplements There is no need to search for various supplements that are said to be good for blood pressure. You can find natural supplements through your diet. ▲Aged garlic extract ▲Berberine ▲Whey protein ▲Fish oil ▲Hibiscus are well known natural ingredients that help lower blood pressure. 1️⃣5️⃣ Take magnesium Magnesium is a mineral that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Many experts say that maintaining a diet rich in magnesium is important for preventing hypertension. Magnesium is found abundantly in vegetables, dairy products, legumes, chicken, meat, and whole grains. Source: Health Chosun I also have high blood pressure, so I need to manage it.

냥식집사24.12.20Views 168Likes 2 7 Ways to Lower High Blood Pressure and Essential Dietary Habits to Follow[9]
These days, you need to manage not only blood sugar levels but also blood pressure effectively. Naver Knowledge Encyclopedia defines hypertension as a condition in adults aged 18 and older where the systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg or higher or the diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg or higher. I was surprised to learn that there are cases where the cause of high blood pressure is well understood, but also cases where it is not. I also realized for the first time that the fundamental cause of hypertension is not clearly understood. However, we all know that hypertension often develops due to family history, dietary habits, and similar issues. Let's learn about and prevent the 7 ways to lower high blood pressure. 7 Ways to Lower High Blood Pressure 1. Eating lightly (low-sodium diet) The factor that determines blood volume is not water but salt. When the concentration of salt in the blood increases, it causes water to be absorbed, resulting in an increase in blood volume and a rise in blood pressure. 2. Healthy diet A healthy diet minimizes carbohydrate intake and increases protein consumption. In particular, carbohydrates sharply raise blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of metabolic syndrome and hypertension. Additionally, animal-based proteins can increase the risk of adult diseases and contribute to obesity. Please try to primarily consume the healthy plant-based proteins listed below. 3. Prohibition of alcohol consumption Usually, you can experience high blood pressure the day after drinking alcohol. While some say that a light drink like a glass of wine may actually be good for hypertension, excessive drinking is generally problematic. 4. Maintaining a healthy weight Losing about 5 kg of weight can lower systolic blood pressure by approximately 5 mmHg. Overweight and obesity put stress on the blood vessels and are factors that worsen hypertension. 5. Regular exercise It is recommended to do more than 150 minutes of aerobic exercise that makes you sweat each week. Such regular physical activity has the effect of lowering blood pressure. 6. Quit smoking Hypertensive patients have a higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Adding smoking to this situation becomes extremely dangerous. Since smoking is entirely harmful, it is highly recommended to quit smoking if your health is poor. 7. Regular intake of blood pressure medication Blood pressure medication can have various side effects, but it is effective in immediately lowering the symptoms of hypertension. Source: Healthy Day

담율로24.12.02Views 169Likes 3 High blood pressure diagnosis review and 6 ways to lower blood pressure[6]
In the middle of this year, my wife was diagnosed with hypertension at the hospital and is currently undergoing treatment. Therefore, I would like to share the process of her diagnosis and the efforts our family is making for her treatment. My mother and relatives on my mother's side have had hypertension since I was young, so I have been cautious about it as well, but I never expected my wife to be suddenly diagnosed with hypertension.ㅜ.ㅜ We are sharing six methods we are practicing to lower blood pressure^^ Since the beginning of this year, my wife has been experiencing persistent headaches and migraines, so we visited several hospitals. They said there was nothing unusual, but I was still concerned, so I measured her blood pressure at home with our blood pressure monitor, and it was around 140 to 150. I thought her blood pressure was slightly high, but her lower blood pressure was close to 120, which made me a bit worried. However, she still didn't go to the hospital. So I told them to go later and forgot about it. For your reference, I also have borderline blood pressure due to my family genetics, so I always measure my blood pressure. Suddenly I remembered and measured it at the same time, and it came out to 165 / 128.ㅜ.ㅜ I thought I couldn't do it, so I went to the hospital, and when they measured it at the hospital, they used both the automatic and manual devices four times, and all readings exceeded 150, so I was diagnosed with hypertension and received medication, then I went home. The medication prescribed is a drug called Twinstar, to be taken as one tablet, and the blood pressure will be checked again in two weeks. This is a blood pressure record, but it didn't go below 120 well over the two weeks. So I had to go see the doctor even if it was just a check-in. Decided to wait for two weeks and endured it~~ When I visited the hospital two weeks later, they prescribed me two pills each because my blood pressure wasn't dropping as expected, and since then, it has been gradually... My blood pressure has stabilized within normal ranges after dropping. Before I explain how to lower blood pressure, I will provide an explanation about hypertension. Definition of hypertension Hypertension refers to a condition where the systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg or higher, or the diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg or higher. And when systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure are below 120mmHg and 80mmHg, respectively, it is considered normal blood pressure. Blood pressure is classified into normal blood pressure, prehypertension, hypertension stage 1, and stage 2 hypertension. Additionally, hypertension without a known cause is called essential hypertension, while hypertension with an identifiable cause is called secondary hypertension. In cases of secondary hypertension, removing the cause typically restores blood pressure to normal. Most cases are essential hypertension. [Source: Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency National Health Information Portal] In my case, my blood pressure appears normal when measured at home, but when I go to the hospital, I get nervous and it rises to nearly 140... This is called white coat hypertension. The hospital staff told me that if my blood pressure is normal when measured at home, there is no major problem. [Source: Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency National Health Information Portal] I highly recommend having a blood pressure monitor at home and checking your blood pressure regularly. Omron blood pressure monitors can be purchased for 20,000 to 30,000 won. Some hospitals also measure blood pressure with the same device as mine~~ Causes of hypertension Hypertension is complex and diverse, and there is also a genetic tendency. In my case, my blood pressure has always been higher than normal due to my maternal family history.ㅜ.ㅜ However, my wife, who has no family history, was diagnosed with hypertension... For my wife, environmental factors are at play. There are generally three main factors: smoking, alcohol consumption, and excessive sodium intake... But I have been engaging in all three since I was young, so it was risky, but thanks to quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, and a low-sodium diet over the past few years, my blood pressure is still normal^^ Psychological stress and pain also raise blood pressure, but they do not cause a chronic increase in blood pressure. Diagnosis and Tests for Hypertension The diagnosis of hypertension relies on accurate blood pressure measurement. Blood pressure can vary greatly depending on factors such as environment and measurement site, so it should be measured multiple times. Additionally, proper blood pressure measurement at home is important. Besides measuring at home, it is also recommended to visit the hospital regularly for measurements. For those of us with a family history, it is especially important to check frequently. [Source: Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency National Health Information Portal] Treatment of hypertension The treatment goal for hypertension is to aim for less than 120/80. Typically, treatment begins with medication, and as blood pressure levels are monitored, the medication is gradually reduced and eventually transitioned to non-pharmacological therapy. [Source: Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency National Health Information Portal] Non-pharmacological treatment is actively recommended because it has a clear blood pressure-lowering effect when practicing lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, smoking cessation, and alcohol moderation, compared to other chronic diseases. From now on, I will talk about the six ways our family is practicing to prevent high blood pressure. Prevention of hypertension 1. Regular exercise Exercise helps to lower blood pressure. We use the subway for commuting in the morning and evening, walking an extra station and getting off a station earlier, then walking briskly, which amounts to about 5,000 to 7,000 steps. It takes about 20 minutes longer. Additionally, I do strength training 2 to 3 times a week for about 40 minutes. Just doing these activities can reduce blood pressure by about 10 mmHg. 2. Limit sodium intake Low-sodium diet is ideal, but it's completely impossible to follow while socializing. So I avoid the broth and only eat the solid ingredients, and at home, I add just a little salt when eating. It was really hard at first because it tasted so bad, but after suffering for a month, I got used to it, haha. 3. Practice of moderate drinking Sigh... This has been the hardest for me, and it's still difficult now. I used to love alcohol immensely and was good at drinking... Before I turned 40, I would binge drink about five days a week, but after quitting smoking a few years ago, I reduced it to three days a week, and since last year, I’ve cut it down to twice a week. People around me often say, "Do you really drink only twice a week?" but I’ve reduced it even more, so it’s quite challenging... Anyway, after reducing, not drinking alcohol altogether is good, but not eating snacks with alcohol has helped me lose weight and reduce belly fat~~~~ This definitely works well, haha. 4. Reducing caffeine I have tinnitus, so I didn't consume much caffeine, but since the sudden hearing loss two years ago, I have been only consuming decaffeinated products. I used to measure my blood pressure before and after drinking caffeine, and it definitely increased. 5. Maintain healthy eating habits (consume only whole grains and fruits) Since my wife was diagnosed with hypertension, we always keep fruits and whole grain bread ready, and she eats them whenever she feels bored. And I always include a salad whenever I have a meal. My wife is such a bread lover that it's hard for her to stop eating bread, which worries me, but we're still making good progress.^^ 6. Nutritional supplement intake (Coenzyme Q10) This is something I've been taking for several years. There are many expensive and high-quality supplements, but Doctor's Best CoQ10 is made with ubiquinol, which is well absorbed by the body, and the price is also good, so I always take it. It not only helps lower blood pressure but also prevents aging, so I am diligently taking it, haha. So far, I have shared the six methods our family has been practicing to lower blood pressure and prevent hypertension. It was a long message, but I wrote it with the hope that it might be of some help to those who are borderline hypertensive. Thank you for reading!!

It only takes 20 seconds... How to lower your stress levels immediately Reporter Lee Seul-bi's story Just stroking yourself for 20 seconds can reduce your stress levels. A research team led by Professor Allison Harvey of the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, conducted a study to determine the mental health benefits of self-skin contact. The research team divided 121 college students into two groups. One group tapped their index finger and thumb together (control group) for 20 seconds every day, while the other group stroked themselves for the same amount of time. The experiment lasted for a month. The stroking motions included placing one hand each on the chest and stomach, or hugging oneself and stroking the upper arm. The motions were described in a paper published in 2021 by a research team at Goethe University in Germany, and the research team revealed that when people hugged themselves with this motion, the levels of the stress hormone cortisol decreased. The analysis results showed that the group that spent 20 seconds stroking themselves every day for a month had better self-esteem than the group that did not. ▲Low stress levels ▲Self-empathy increases ▲It was confirmed that mental health also improved. It was confirmed that the longer the period of progress, the better the mental health index. The research team said, "If you make it a habit to hug yourself, the mental health benefits will be greater," and "If you set a specific time, such as after brushing your teeth or after eating, it will be easier to stick to it." Another way to quickly lower your stress levels is through breathing exercises. These include three breathing exercises. The first is "periodic sighing." Inhale long and slowly, exhale short, fully inflating your lungs, then exhale for as long as possible. The second is "diaphragmatic breathing." Sit comfortably, close your eyes, relax, and place one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest. Keep the hand on your chest still, focusing only on moving the hand on your stomach as you breathe. The third is "periodic hyperventilation." This involves inhaling deeply and exhaling briefly 30 times. Researchers at Stanford University have found that practicing this breathing technique for five minutes a day can be more effective in improving mood and reducing anxiety than meditation. =========== I want to reduce my stress right now. 20 seconds... 5 minutes Will it get a little better??
하루=즐겁게+행복하게+웃으며✌24.09.26Views 228Likes 7 "I'm on a diet, but I want a latte"… How to lower your calories even a little[1]
"I'm on a diet, but I want a latte." How to lower your calories, even a little. These days, when ordering a latte at a franchise cafe, Use 'oat milk' instead of regular milk You can add it. What are the benefits of replacing animal milk with plant-based milk? Plant-based milks are a good choice for those who cannot drink milk due to milk allergies, lactose intolerance, or high cholesterol. They are rich in vitamins, magnesium, potassium, and other minerals, and because they are lactose-free, those with lactose intolerance can consume them without worrying about vomiting or diarrhea. Because it's low in calories, even those on a diet can enjoy it without worry. While a 200ml carton of whole milk contains 130kcal, a 190ml carton of almond milk contains 45kcal, a 190ml carton of oat milk contains 75kcal, and a 190ml carton of coconut milk contains 85kcal, making it relatively low in calories. Of course, plant-based milk also has its drawbacks. This is because it contains less calcium than animal-based milk. A single 200ml carton of milk contains 200mg of calcium, which provides approximately 30% of the recommended daily intake of 700mg. However, coconut milk contains only 4% of the recommended daily intake. Almond and oat milk also tend to contain less calcium than cow's milk due to the nature of their ingredients. Plant-based milks also have lower protein content than animal-based milks. While a carton of whole milk contains about 6 grams of protein, a carton of almond milk contains about 1 gram, and a carton of oat milk contains about 2 grams. Coconut milk contains none. Since calcium is essential for building bones and teeth, regular milk may be better for growing children than plant-based milk. People with sensitive stomachs should be careful when drinking oat milk. . When the fiber-rich oats break down in the intestines, they produce hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide, which can cause abdominal bloating or pain. Avoid consuming oats before exercise, as this can be particularly burdensome on the stomach. If you drink plant-based milk instead of cow's milk, It is best to supplement the lack of calcium and protein with other foods. Calcium is abundant in spinach, pineapple, blue fish, beans, tofu, kelp, anchovies, and dried shrimp. Protein can be obtained from foods such as eggs, tofu, chicken breast, soybeans, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and salmon. ============= I've tried oatmeal I've never tried milk, but I'm curious about the taste. People with sensitive stomachs should avoid eating it. It's probably included in a lot of side dishes that are rich in calcium. It'll be easy to pack and eat

First, I left for a vacation on Sunday. However, even on vacation, my lips are so itchy and painful, so I told my younger sibling... If there is something bumpy around the lip border They said it might be herpes? and told me to go to the pharmacy quickly. I've heard of herpes, but I've never experienced it myself. First, I went to the pharmacy and described my symptoms, and they said it looked like a cold sore and recommended GC Acyclovir cream. They told me to apply it every 4 hours and to rest well without overexerting myself. It is applied as a white, semi-transparent cream on cold sores and blisters. Even when I search the internet, everyone talks about acyclovir for herpes. Once you get a cold sore, also known as herpes labialis, it tends to recur easily. It is also highly contagious.ㅠㅠ So, since arriving at the accommodation, I used separate towels, didn't kiss the children, applied ointment, and scrubbed thoroughly with soap. I tried my best to prevent it from spreading to my family. Thanks to that, my whole family hasn't been infected and is doing perfectly fine. After about a day or two, something like a slight scaly layer has formed on my lips. There was still itching and discomfort. I really applied ointment for the entire vacation. I don't like water play in water parks either. I only took care of the second child, didn't go into the water much, and was careful to keep water away from the face. And around the fourth day when returning home, some peeling like scales appeared around the lip border. The itching has been greatly relieved. Still, just in case, I applied acyclovir cream while being as cautious as possible to prevent infection. And it has been 6 days since the itching started. It started to peel off like white dead skin, and the dead skin began to come off. Still, apply acyclovir for one more day. The next afternoon, my lips returned to their original state. What is lip herpes? Why did this suddenly happen!! Herpes is a type of virus that, when activated, causes infections on the skin and mucous membranes, leading to the formation of blisters. It is said to be more likely to occur when immunity collapses. This mainly occurs around the mouth and is contagious, so caution is necessary. The initial symptoms that cause the transmission of lip herpes begin with itching, followed by various other phenomena. Burning sensation, tingling, blisters filled with clear fluid at the site of occurrence. If treatment is not received promptly, inflammation and pain worsen, and especially if a blister accidentally bursts, the scab becomes stuck. It can cause secondary infections. To prevent the transmission of lip herpes, the primary measure is to be cautious in daily life to avoid contact of the affected area with other people. I also paid as much attention as possible, and fortunately, all the family members passed without any symptoms. If you avoid direct or indirect physical contact as I mentioned earlier, you can prevent the transmission of oral herpes. Using personal plates and towels, wearing masks, and eating separately are practices to prevent transmission. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to completely cure herpes. ㅠㅠ However, to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence, medication and lifestyle modifications are necessary. Taking antiviral medications or applying topical treatments can help symptoms improve quickly and reduce the frequency of recurrences. In addition, it is important to boost immunity through sufficient rest, proper nutrition, and regular exercise. Reduce stress as much as possible. Fortunately, I treated it with acyclovir ointment, but I'm worried because recurrences happen frequently. I'm also worried about its high contagiousness. I will focus on maintaining cleanliness and hygiene as much as possible, strengthen my immune system, and reduce stress.

My family has a genetic history of high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension on my mother's side... So I have been paying attention to my cholesterol levels and high blood pressure since I was young~ So, until I was in my mid-40s, I am not taking any medication... but I have heard many times that if I start, I will have to take it for life, so I can only endure up to that point. I think I'm just not eating because I'm trying to endure it. ㅜ.ㅜ I thought my blood pressure had dropped a bit recently, but when I measured it with a home blood pressure monitor last night, it was 137 over 110. Startled, I sat still and did nothing for 20 minutes, then measured three times and got readings of 125 and 88, so-so. I slept and woke up in the morning to measure again, and it went over 130, so I rested for more than 10 minutes and measured again, resulting in the following numbers. It seems to come out... Home blood pressure monitors tend to read about 10 points lower than those measured at the hospital, but the readings are too high. I'm worried..... The high numbers made me feel so bad that I couldn't even think about taking a picture... I really dislike taking medication, but I'm unsure whether to manage it through exercise and diet or to take medication... Please give me some advice on what would be the best way to do it!!
지원유진빠^^24.08.19Views 315Likes 6 Four effective ways to lower uric acid levels that I have seen work well[9]
Four ways to lower uric acid levels: effectiveness and questions Since high uric acid levels can cause health problems such as gout, it is important to learn effective ways to lower them. Here, I will briefly explain four methods to reduce uric acid levels and their effects. 😊 1. Manage your diet Dietary control is the most fundamental way to lower uric acid levels. It is recommended to reduce foods high in purines and to consume plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Foods high in purines: red meats, seafood, and certain legumes are included here. Reducing these foods may decrease uric acid levels. Fruits and vegetables: They help reduce inflammation in the body and assist in uric acid excretion. In particular, cherries and blueberries can help lower uric acid levels. 🍒🍇 Question: "Are all vegetables good?" Yes, most vegetables help lower uric acid levels. However, some vegetables like spinach and mushrooms contain relatively high purines, so it is best to consume them in moderation. 2. Adequate hydration Water helps eliminate uric acid, and adequate hydration plays a crucial role in lowering uric acid levels. It is recommended to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. 💧 Question: "What beverages are good besides water?" In addition to water, it is also good to drink herbal tea or unsweetened tea. It is advisable to consume coffee or caffeinated beverages in moderation. 3. Weight management Obesity is one of the main causes that can increase uric acid levels. Maintaining a healthy weight and controlling weight through regular exercise are necessary. Exercise: Regular exercise helps prevent obesity and aids in the excretion of uric acid in the body. 🏃♂️🏋️♀️ Curiosity: "What kind of exercise is good?" It is recommended to start with low-intensity exercises (such as walking or cycling) and gradually increase the intensity. Be cautious, as overly intense exercise can actually trigger gout attacks. 4. Reduce alcohol and caffeine intake Alcohol, especially beverages like beer, can increase uric acid levels, and caffeine can also affect uric acid excretion. Reducing the intake of alcohol and caffeine can help lower uric acid levels. Question: "Should I completely cut it off?" While completely quitting is the best option, it may be difficult in reality, so it is important to reduce intake and carefully choose the types of beverages you consume frequently. 🥂❌ You can effectively lower uric acid levels and maintain your health through these four methods. Consider how each method can be applied to your daily life, and practice them consistently. If necessary, consult with a professional to find a management approach tailored to you. 😊💪

(Diabetes) Just follow this one picture… Exercises to lower blood sugar levels[4]
Just follow this one picture and you're done... Blood Sugar Lowering Exercises Just follow this one picture and you're done... Blood Sugar Lowering Exercises © Provided by: Health Chosun I know I need exercise, ▲It is difficult to make time for a long time ▲Are you afraid of getting injured by exercising with the wrong posture? ▲For readers who aren't sure what exercises to do, this is the "One-Picture Exercise" method, which allows you to follow along with just one picture. The first exercise is the "Squat & Shoulder Extension," which can help maintain stable blood sugar levels even if you just follow along during spare time. Its difficulty rating is 3 out of 5 stars, making it easy to follow. We learned about it with the help of Kim Gyu-nam, a fitness instructor at Quat, an integrated health management platform. ◇Follow the squat shoulder extension ▶Movement First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height. Keeping your elbows straight, pull your arms back behind you, bending your knees and hips. If your hips aren't properly bent, this can put stress on your knees, so focus on ensuring your pelvis is properly bent. The hip joint is where your pelvis meets your legs. Lower your knees until they form a right angle. Shift your weight onto your heels. You should feel the tension in your buttocks and thighs. Inhale as you squat down. Then, press the soles of your feet firmly into the floor and rise. Straighten your hips and knees, and lift your heels slightly off the floor, as if you were on tiptoe. Simultaneously, extend your arms upwards as if you were shouting "Hurrah!" You should engage your calves, thighs, buttocks, and abdominal muscles. Exhale. ▶Number of exercises and rest time Perform five sets of 20 repetitions (100 repetitions total) daily. If you find it difficult to complete 20 repetitions in one go, lower your goal to at least 10 per set. Gradually increase the number of repetitions. After completing one set, begin the next one only when you're comfortable enough to hold a conversation with someone nearby. ▶Postures to watch out for First, you should perform the movement with your upper body upright, avoiding forward bending of the lower back or waist. If your lower back or waist is bent forward even though your knees are not bent at a right angle, it's best not to go down further. Repeating the movement while bent can strain your lower back. In this case, perform the movement with a stride wider than shoulder width. A narrower stride can cause your hips to fall too far back, naturally lowering your upper body and rounding your lower back. When descending, avoid turning your knees inward. Proper posture requires them to spread outward. If your knees turn inward, friction between the patella (the bone in front of the knee joint) and the femur (the thigh bone) increases, increasing the risk of knee pain. Properly perform the movement while keeping the entire sole of your foot in contact with the ground. ▶Difficulty adjustment If the difficulty is too low and does not stimulate your thighs or buttocks, wear the band on both knees and perform the movement. ◇Best value for money for maintaining blood sugar levels ▶Point 1. Compound exercises Exercise is very effective in maintaining blood sugar levels. In fact, the American Diabetes Association and the American College of Sports Medicine have announced that regular physical activity is an important factor in preventing diabetes. Both aerobic and resistance exercise improve blood sugar levels through their own mechanisms, and squats and shoulder extensions are a combination exercise that provides the benefits of both aerobic and resistance exercise simultaneously. Aerobic exercise ▲Promotes glucose utilization in muscles ▲ Increases insulin sensitivity, a hormone that lowers blood sugar levels ▲It is known to increase the density and oxidative capacity of mitochondria in muscles. Resistance exercise increases muscle mass, which increases blood sugar consumption. It is also reported to be effective in reducing visceral fat. Combination exercises offer the benefits of both types of exercise. ▶Point 2. Moderate-intensity exercise After doing squats and shoulder extensions, you'll be out of breath and only able to hold a short sentence with someone else. This is because it's a moderate-intensity exercise. However, for stable blood sugar control, moderate-intensity exercise without high stress is sufficient. It's more effective for reducing body fat, blood sugar, and blood pressure. The proportion of nutrients consumed varies depending on the intensity of exercise, and during moderate-intensity exercise, metabolism primarily burns fat. Furthermore, it takes a certain amount of time after exercise for fat to be used as an energy source to increase, but maintaining this level of energy for a certain amount of time is difficult with high-intensity exercise. In fact, a research team from the Department of Sports Science at Inha University conducted a study on 51 diabetic patients to examine differences in blood sugar response after exercise. They found that moderate-intensity exercise resulted in higher blood sugar utilization than high-intensity exercise. You can check whether your exercise is moderate-intensity by checking your heart rate. Moderate-intensity exercise is about 60-75% of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. High-intensity exercise can temporarily increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, so those with diabetes or cardiovascular disease should be especially cautious. ===================== Introducing exercises that are good for blood sugar As I found out, it is also good for strengthening leg muscles. They say it's a very good exercise. Squats seem a bit more difficult than I thought. Have you seen comedian Park Na-rae? Just stand there against the wall They say this is also effective
하루=즐겁게+행복하게+웃으며✌24.08.10Views 134Likes 1 What is the best exercise to lower blood pressure?[2]
What is the best exercise to lower blood pressure? Brisk walking, cycling, and swimming are exercises doctors recommend for controlling high blood pressure. However, a study (Exercise training and resting blood pressure: a large-scale pairwise and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials) found that isometric exercises like planks and wall sits were more effective than these aerobic exercises in lowering blood pressure. A research team at Canterbury Christchurch University in the UK examined clinical trial data on the effects of exercise training interventions lasting at least two weeks on resting blood pressure. The team analyzed the results by categorizing them into aerobic exercise, dynamic resistance exercise, and isometric exercise. Healthy resting blood pressure is defined as less than 130/85 mmHg, prehypertension as 130-139/85-89 mmHg, and hypertension as 140/90 mmHg or higher. An analysis of 270 clinical trials involving over 16,000 participants between 1990 and 2023 found significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest after all different categories of exercise. Isometric exercise has the greatest effect in lowering blood pressure. In particular, isometric exercise showed the greatest decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, with a decrease of 8.24/4 mmHg. The combination of aerobic and dynamic resistance exercise recorded a decrease of 6.04/2.54 mmHg, dynamic resistance exercise 4.55/3.04 mmHg, aerobic exercise 4.49/2.53 mmHg, and high-intensity interval training 4.08/2.50 mmHg. Further analysis revealed that wall sit-ups were the most effective individual exercises for lowering blood pressure, while running was the most effective aerobic exercise. Isometric exercises involve muscle contraction without altering muscle length or movement. For example, pressing your palms together. Representative isometric exercises include planks and wall sits. Wall sits are essentially squats performed against a wall. Exercises like planks and wall sits are readily available online and on YouTube. Combining aerobic and strength training reduces the risk of high blood pressure. Beyond these individual exercises, combining aerobic and strength training can significantly reduce the risk of high blood pressure. A combination of at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week and at least one strength training session per week was found to have the greatest effect on lowering the risk of developing high blood pressure. This is the result of a four-year follow-up analysis of data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Survey (KoGES) of 5,075 people in their 40s to 70s living in Ansan and Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, conducted by a team of postdoctoral researchers at the Department of Genomic Epidemiology, Future Medical Research Division, National Institute of Health, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. According to the results, aerobic exercise was associated with hypertension in terms of intensity, while strength training was associated with hypertension in terms of frequency. The exercise combination of moderate-intensity or higher aerobic exercise and strength training at least once a week was the most effective, reducing hypertension rates by 34% in men and 44% in women. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise alone, at least 150 minutes per week, showed consistent benefits, reducing the incidence of high blood pressure by 31% in men and 35% in women. However, adding strength training at least once a week reduced the risk of high blood pressure by an additional 35%. Conversely, low-intensity aerobic exercise was ineffective, and strength training alone did not prevent hypertension. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is defined as at least 150 minutes per week, at an intensity that produces sweating or leaves you slightly out of breath but still able to hold a conversation with someone nearby. This includes walking, brisk walking, hiking, and running. Strength training refers to resistance training that uses the weight of the body or equipment to increase muscle mass through repeated relaxation and contraction of the muscles.

하루=즐겁게+행복하게+웃으며✌24.08.05Views 185Likes 1 Sharing methods to reduce the recurrence rate of herpes simplex virus type 2 cure cases[2]
Are you worried about Herpes Type 2 (HSV-2)? It is more important to reduce relapses and manage symptoms well than to achieve a complete cure. So today, I will briefly summarize how to reduce and manage the recurrence rate. First, antiviral medication is very important. These medications suppress the activity of the herpes virus and prevent symptoms from worsening. Drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir are representative. Consistently taking this medication can reduce the frequency of recurrence. Additionally, long-term preventive therapy can be considered. In cases of frequent recurrence, it involves regularly taking a low dose of antiviral medication. This can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of symptoms. It is advisable to consult with a doctor to determine the appropriate dosage and duration. Stress management is also important, as stress is said to be one of the triggers for herpes recurrence. Reducing stress through yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can be helpful. And you should also pay attention to healthy eating habits. A balanced diet and adequate hydration help boost immunity and enhance resistance to infections. It would be good to eat foods rich in vitamin C and zinc. Don't forget to strengthen your immune system. Maintaining a strong immune system through sufficient sleep and proper rest is important. If necessary, you can consider supplements or health foods that boost immunity. Personal hygiene is also important. After touching an infected area, wash your hands thoroughly and avoid contact with others. Using protective equipment during sexual contact also helps with prevention. Finally, regular check-ups and consultations are necessary. It is important to regularly check your condition, consult with a doctor, and find the appropriate treatment method.

How to lower blood sugar after meals[6]
Even if you eat the same food, as long as you follow the proper order of eating Post-meal blood sugar rises much less. Eat dietary fiber and protein first. After 10 to 15 minutes, eat carbohydrates later. "Meal + Snack -> Episode 10" The eating method gradually raises blood sugar after meals and reduces blood sugar spikes in diabetic patients. 2. Meal order even if not a diabetic patient If you change, you can prevent diabetes. In this case Even if diabetes develops in the future, delaying its onset can reduce the likelihood of diabetes-related complications. Among dietary fibers, the gel-forming type (psyllium husk) is the most effective for post-meal blood sugar management. 4. For diabetic patients, increasing dietary fiber intake alone can reduce mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Since it decreases. Regularly consume dietary fiber. You must eat enough.
저녁노을24.07.15Views 135Likes 0 Was it this easy? How to significantly lower post-meal blood sugar! Doctors share evidence-based tips.[3]
These days, it's also mentioned as a diet method in various articles. Change the order of meals~ Eat dietary fiber and protein first, then consume carbohydrates!! If you find it difficult to read the entire article, please be sure to read the summary at the very bottom~ Effort is essential for health! ---------------------------------------------------- Medical quiz explaining the basis of Kim Yeon-hui Clip Art Korea There are 6 million diabetes patients in Korea, and 15 million are in pre-diabetes stages, making it very common. Even young diabetes patients in their 20s and 30s are steadily increasing. Diabetes is extremely deadly to blood vessels and can cause complications such as diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to blindness, and diabetic nephropathy, which requires dialysis treatment. It is a serious disease that should not be taken lightly just because it is common. However, did you know that small changes in lifestyle habits can prevent and manage diabetes? Today, we will learn about the easiest method among them. Today's quiz: Even if you eat the same food, following the proper order of meals can significantly reduce post-meal blood sugar levels. The correct answer is O. Core Evidence 1. The following is a study conducted on patients with type 2 diabetes who are being treated with metformin (diabetes medication). In this study, participants were given the same food, but the order of consuming vegetables (dietary fiber), protein, and carbohydrates was varied to observe changes in blood sugar levels. The experiment was divided into a total of three groups as follows. 1) The first group is "Carbohydrates First." They consume carbohydrates first, then, after 10 minutes, they consume vegetables and proteins. 2) The second group is 'Carbohydrates Later'. This group consumed vegetables and proteins first, followed by carbohydrates after 10 minutes. 3) The third group is 'mixing and eating.' It is a group that ate vegetables, proteins, and carbohydrates all together without any particular order. The graph below shows the results of blood sugar measurements taken at 30-minute intervals after meals for each of the three groups. Source: BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care. 2017; 5(1): e000440 The "Carbohydrates First" group and the "Mixing" group experienced a rapid spike in blood sugar levels after meals, followed by a sharp decline, whereas the "Carbohydrates Last" group showed a gradual increase in blood sugar after meals and maintained a stable pattern. Additionally, when comparing blood sugar levels one hour after meals, the "Carbohydrates Last" group showed a 25.2% reduction compared to the "Mixing" group, and the area under the blood sugar curve from 0 to 180 minutes (the area of the time-blood sugar graph) decreased by as much as 44.1%, indicating a significant improvement in post-meal blood sugar control in diabetic patients. Key Evidence 2. I will introduce another experiment similar to the previously discussed one. This experiment was also conducted on type 2 diabetes patients receiving metformin (a diabetes medication). Participants ate the same foods but changed the order of their meals at one-week intervals. During the first week, they followed a 'carbohydrate first' eating method, consuming carbohydrates first and then proteins and vegetables 15 minutes later. In the subsequent week, they ate using the opposite meal order, the 'carbohydrate last' method. As a result, the 'Carbohydrates Later' eating method reduced post-meal blood sugar levels by 28.6% (at 30 minutes after eating), 36.7% (at 60 minutes), and 16.8% (at 120 minutes) compared to the 'Carbohydrates First' eating method. Furthermore, all measures including blood insulin levels, the area under the blood glucose curve, and the area under the insulin increase curve showed significant improvement, indicating that it is highly effective for diabetes management. Source: Diabetes Care. July 2015; 38(7): e98–e99. When you eat dietary fiber and protein first, your body prepares to absorb the carbohydrates you will eat afterward. Carbohydrates raise blood sugar, but when consumed in this prepared state, the fluctuations in blood sugar are reduced. Additionally, just by eating dietary fiber and protein first, the rate of stomach emptying is delayed, and the absorption rate of carbohydrates also slows down, causing blood sugar to rise more gradually. Even when eating the same food, blood sugar control can be achieved through an easy method called adjusting the order of meals. Considering that Koreans have a smaller pancreas that secretes insulin and are more genetically predisposed to diabetes, even if they do not currently have diabetes, they can prevent it by following a meal method called 'food + protein -> 10 carbohydrate' where 1) dietary fiber and protein are eaten first during meals, and 2) carbohydrates are consumed 10-15 minutes later. This approach can delay the onset of diabetes and reduce the duration of living with the disease. The longer one has diabetes, the higher the risk of developing serious diabetic complications. Conversely, shortening the duration of diabetes can reduce the likelihood of complications. Bonus information. There are many research findings indicating that dietary fiber helps improve blood sugar control. In particular, among dietary fibers, gel-forming fibers like psyllium husk, which form a gel when meeting water, are most effective in lowering post-meal blood sugar levels. For reference, increasing dietary fiber intake in diabetic patients also reduces mortality from cardiovascular diseases, so it is important to consistently consume sufficient amounts of any type of dietary fiber regularly. Source: Am J Clin Nutr. December 2015;102(6):1604-14. Today's conclusion, 1. The "Meal + Protein -> 10 Carbohydrates" eating method, which involves eating dietary fiber and protein first, then consuming carbohydrates after 10-15 minutes, slows the rise of post-meal blood sugar and reduces blood sugar spikes in diabetic patients. 2. Even if you are not a diabetic patient, changing the order of meals can prevent diabetes, and in this case, even if diabetes develops later, it can delay the onset and reduce the likelihood of diabetic complications. 3. Among dietary fibers, gel-forming types (such as psyllium husk) are the most effective for managing post-meal blood sugar levels. 4. Diabetic patients should consistently consume enough dietary fiber because increasing dietary fiber intake alone can reduce the mortality rate from cardiovascular diseases.

블루베리26.07.16Views 24Likes 0 [Health Column] When are implant stitches removed? A comprehensive guide to post-removal precautions and brushing methods[1]
Hello! I am Hyun-seop Lee, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. 😉 There is a question that patients most frequently ask in the clinic after completing implant surgery. 💬 "Doctor, when will the stitches be removed?" or Is it all over once the stitches are removed? Many people think of stitch removal as a simple finishing step. rather A very important treatment to determine the time when the gums recover stably. It is one of them. Today, I will explain everything in detail, from when to remove implant stitches to how to care for them after removal. ✨ (Source: AI Image) 1️⃣ When exactly are the implant stitches removed? It is usually removed 7 to 14 days after surgery, but the decision is made individually based on the patient's condition. Sutures after implant surgery are generally 7 to 14 days after surgery It is most often removed on [date]. However, not all patients have it removed on the same date. The timing of removal may vary depending on the conditions below. 🔸 Gum recovery speed 🔸 Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift were performed 🔸 Presence of systemic diseases such as diabetes 🔸 Smoking status and the extent of the suture site ⚠️ Please pay attention here! If the sutures are removed too quickly before the wound has fully healed, the suture site may separate; conversely, if left in for too long, food particles can get trapped around the stitches or inflammation can easily occur. It is essential. After the attending medical staff personally checked the condition Removing it is the most important thing. 2️⃣ How severe is the pain when the stitches are removed? It usually ends in a short time with minimal pain, to the point where it can be performed without anesthesia. Many people worry that it will hurt when the stitches are removed, but fortunately, for most people, the process finishes comfortably without much pain. 🥰 🔸 Duration The process of cutting and removing the thread itself is mostly completed within a few minutes. 🔸 feel Those with sensitive gums may experience a slight stinging or pulling sensation. 🔸 Whether or not to anesthetize Since the pain is mild, it is very rare for anesthesia to be required when removing stitches. So, is the treatment all finished once the stitches are removed? Unfortunately, that is not the case. 😮 Even though it appears to be healed well on the outside, recovery is still ongoing inside the gums. Implants, in particular The 'bone fusion process' in which the bone and artificial tooth root firmly bond As this continues, you must continue to be careful to avoid excessive irritation to the inside of your gums. 3️⃣ How should I eat and brush my teeth after the stitches are removed? Please eat mainly soft foods, and brush your teeth gently, avoiding the surgical site. You probably want to eat normally right away once the stitches are removed, but please be a little more careful. 🥣 🔸 Please eat like this · Hard foods are not recommended starting from the day of removal. For a few days, please eat foods that are gentle on the gums, such as porridge, steamed eggs, tofu, fish, and soft rice. · ❌ You should wait until your gums have fully recovered before eating hot or spicy foods, chewy foods, or nuts. 🔸 Here's how to brush your teeth and take care of your oral hygiene You must brush your teeth even while you have stitches. However, Do not rub the surgical site vigorously. This is the key. · In the initial period after surgery, focus on brushing the surrounding teeth, and for a few days after removal, please brush gently with a soft toothbrush. · ⚠️ It is safe to use dental floss or interdental brushes only after a medical professional has advised that it is safe to use. · Gargle is Alcohol-free products Instead of rinsing vigorously, just hold your mouth and lightly spit it out. (Source: Korea Pharmaceutical Information Center) 4️⃣ When can I start drinking and smoking again? Suture removal is just one step in the recovery process, so you must abstain from alcohol and smoking for a certain period to ensure a safe recovery. "Now that the stitches are out, can I have a drink tonight?" 🍻 People often ask this. However, stitch removal is just one step in the recovery process and does not mean complete healing. 🍷 Reasons why you should avoid alcohol Alcohol dilates blood vessels, which can cause swelling and bleeding at the surgical site. 🚬 Reasons why you should avoid smoking Smoking reduces blood flow to the gums Hinders bone fusion, which is key to implant success You can do it. To ensure the implant firmly anchors to the bone, please refrain from drinking and smoking for a certain period even after the stitches are removed. Please hang in there just a little longer! 💪 5️⃣ What if your stitches come undone before your dental visit? Do not touch it with your hands or scissors under any circumstances, and you must contact a dentist immediately to have the condition checked. There are times when you might notice while eating or brushing your teeth, "Huh? It feels like the thread has loosened a bit." 😮 In this situation, there is a crucial way to deal with it. ⚠️ Absolutely Prohibited ❌ Do not pull the loose thread directly with your hands. ❌ Do not cut the thread yourself with scissors from home. ❌ Do not continuously touch or irritate the suture site with your tongue. Whether only part of the suture has come undone or if the suture site has actually opened Confirmed with specialized equipment at the dental clinic You have to do it to know exactly. If you notice that the stitches have come undone, please visit the clinic as soon as possible. Please do so and have the condition checked. Please give us a call first, and we will be happy to assist you. 📞 💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Will there be a lot of bleeding when the stitches are removed? A. Since the gums have already healed for over a week and we are simply removing the stitches, there is generally not much bleeding. There may be some slight seeping, but the bleeding stops quickly, so you do not need to worry. 😉 Q2. Is it normal to see holes or gaps in the gums after the stitches are removed? A. The sutured area may appear slightly open or feel like a gap has formed. You can rest assured as this is a natural process of healing where the outer and inner layers of the gums fill in; however, if pain is present, please contact the dental clinic. 🎯 Conclusion: Post-stitch removal care is where the real work begins. With dental implants, treatment does not end just because the surgery is finished. 🙅♂️ Even after stitch removal Regular checkups, proper brushing habits, thorough oral hygiene, quitting smoking, and consistent maintenance They must mesh together like gears to use the implant for a long time without side effects. To summarize, Suture removal is not the end of treatment, but the 'first step' to healthy use 👣 If you have any questions during the recovery process or experience any discomfort different from usual, please do not try to figure it out on your own; be sure to feel free to request a consultation with your dentist.

곰곰미26.07.10Views 42Likes 0 Facelift: Why Choosing the Right Method and an Experienced Surgeon Is Important[6]
Hello! This is Director Han Kyu-nam of Samsao Plastic Surgery. ✨ With the recent increase in average life expectancy, there are now many people who continue their careers vigorously or actively participate in social activities even after passing the age of 60. Naturally, the number of people considering lifting surgery to maintain professional competitiveness or to achieve a healthier and younger-looking appearance has also increased. 🔸 Today, I would like to explain 'facelift surgery' in a sincere and detailed manner over two installments, as it is a procedure that many people bravely inquire about among lifting surgeries. 1️⃣ What exactly is a facelift? A facelift is a surgery that tightens sagging skin to smooth out wrinkles and refine the facial contours. 🔹 The Principle and History of Skin Lifting Simply put, a facelift is based on the principle of pulling up excess tissue, cutting away the excess, and suturing it. ⚠️ Because the scope of the surgery is relatively large, it takes a long time, and there is a possibility of side effects, it was previously considered a major surgery that people did not easily have the courage to undergo. This surgery, which originated in the West, initially involved a method that focused mainly on tightening the skin. However, because Caucasian skin is thin and delicate, the effects did not last long and the facial shape became unnatural. 🔸 Development of Anatomy and the Emergence of Key Technologies Subsequently, as facial anatomy developed, the core concept of a facelift—dissecting the retaining ligaments and 'pulling the SMAS'—was established, and various surgical methods were introduced to minimize scarring by making incisions around the ears, inside the hair, or along the border. 💡 The key to a facelift is to release the retaining ligaments and strongly pull the SMAS layer to return the sagging skin to its original position. 2️⃣ Is the currently trending 'deep-plane facelift' necessarily the best method? In the field of plastic surgery, there is no such thing as a 'better surgical method,' only 'a method more suitable' for each individual patient. 🔹 The Real Reason Deep Plain is Trending Recently, the 'deep plane' method of facelift surgery has been receiving a lot of attention. ✔️ The reason this method is popular is clear. Because it limits subcutaneous dissection, there is less tissue damage, and the empty space where blood can accumulate after surgery is reduced. Thanks to this, the surgery time is fast and the risk of side effects related to skin flaps is low, offering the advantage of 'rapid recovery' preferred by both doctors and patients. 🔸 But surgery is not a mathematical formula! However, that does not mean deep plane is always the best answer for all patients. ⚠️ This is because everyone has completely different face shapes, skin thickness, and soft tissue conditions. Surgery is different from math problems where a single solution method can be applied equally to everyone. Even if the same surgical method is chosen, the process and details vary completely depending on how the surgeon handles each step of the procedure. So, what is the most important thing in a surgery with so many variables? 🤔 3️⃣ Why should you entrust a facelift to an experienced surgeon? As surgery involves numerous combinations of choices and variables, the accumulated number of surgeries over a long period and the level of expertise determine the outcome. 🔹 Why the Surgeon's Experience Is Important Facelift surgery requires a flexible combination of different types of skin incisions, degrees of dissection, SMAS incision shapes, and fixation methods, depending on the patient's condition. Only by accumulating diverse surgical experience can you accurately identify the advantages and disadvantages of each method and formulate the most suitable surgical plan for the patient. 🔸 How to Identify a Trustworthy Doctor If a doctor has planned a surgery with clear reasons for every detail tailored to the patient's condition, they should be able to answer any of the patient's questions without hesitation. 🔸 Does it easily explain the reason for choosing each incision line and fixation method, one by one? 🔸 Does it offer a customized solution tailored to my facial conditions (soft tissue, face shape, etc.)? A surgeon can be considered a truly trustworthy doctor only when they can provide a sufficient explanation while stating specific reasons. However, it is recommended that patients have some basic knowledge so that they can properly ask questions and consult with the doctor. In the next column, I will introduce the basic details of facelift surgery that are good to know in more detail! 📢 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. If deep-plane facelift has a fast recovery, should I definitely choose only this? A1. It is true that the deep plane method is popular because it has the advantages of minimal tissue damage and rapid recovery, but every patient has a different facial shape and soft tissue condition. ⚠️ Rather than assuming that a specific surgical method is unconditionally the best, it is advisable to find the method most suitable for your sagging condition and anatomical structure through close consultation with medical professionals. Q2. I am worried that the scar will be too visible after the facelift surgery. A2. Facelift surgery involves precise incisions along the ear lines, inside the hairline, or along the borders to minimize scarring. Since the incision lines and suturing methods vary depending on the surgeon's skill level, it is important to choose an experienced specialist. 🏁 Conclusion Facelift surgery is a highly complex procedure that goes beyond simple wrinkle improvement by involving the SMAS layer and retaining ligaments. Do not blindly trust trendy surgical methods such as Deep Plane! A customized surgical plan tailored to your facial condition is essential. As soft tissue structure and facial shapes vary from person to person, we recommend that you make a prudent decision after thoroughly consulting with medical professionals who have 17 years of experience in lifting procedures and can manage numerous variables.

꼬영이26.07.07Views 84Likes 2 [Health Column] My Implant Is Loose or Has Fallen Out! | Causes and Emergency Response Explained by a Prosthodontist[8]
hello! Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Chief Director Jae-wook Jeong It is. 👋 💬 "I spent a lot of money and time just to get this implant done... but suddenly I felt a snap and it's loose. Do I have to have the surgery done all over again? And what about the cost?" If a dental implant you have been using perfectly fine suddenly becomes loose or falls out one day, it is natural for anyone to feel a sinking heart and anxiety. You are likely to be worried, asking, "Is this a side effect?" or "Do I have to have a re-operation from the beginning?" ⚠️ To start with the conclusion, there is no need to panic! Among the implant structures, ' This is because there is a very high probability that it is a minor issue where some screws have come slightly loose. . In today's column, I will explain in a very easy-to-understand way, from the perspective of a prosthodontist, the three real causes of loose or falling implants, as well as emergency measures you should absolutely never take before visiting the dentist. ✨ 1️⃣ What is the structure of an implant? 👋 If you understand the prefabricated structure, you can see the reason for the shaking and the answer. While natural teeth are connected to the bone as a whole, implants, which are artificial teeth, have a 'modular structure' composed of a total of three parts. 🔩 🔸 Fixture: An artificial tooth root firmly embedded in the gum bone 🔸 Crown: An artificial tooth shaped like a white head that is visible to the eye. 🔸 Abutment: An intermediate post connecting the root (fixture) and the crown (secured with a small screw) 🔎 The cause is right here! If the strong pressure generated when we chew food every day persists for a long time, this small screw (Abutment Screw) connecting the post and the head may loosen slightly. 💡 If, fortunately, your gum bone is perfectly fine but only this screw is loose, the head portion will wobble or fall out. In this case, please rest assured that the issue can be easily resolved by visiting the dentist to tighten the screw securely or replace it with a new one! 2️⃣ What is the real cause of implants becoming loose and falling out? 👋 From simple parts issues to signals from the gum bone, the response varies depending on the cause. 🛠️ Cause 1. When the 'dental adhesive' securing the crown has melted Dental adhesive is used to attach the implant head (crown) to the post. However, the mouth is a harsh environment where saliva (moisture) is always abundant and strong chewing forces are constantly at work. Because of this, over time, the adhesive naturally dissolves, causing only the crown to detach. 📌 Since there is no problem with the root itself, please bring the detached crown to the dental clinic, and we will clean the inside thoroughly and reattach it securely. 🚨 Cause 2. The most dangerous sign! When bone has eroded due to 'peri-implantitis' If the two issues mentioned earlier are minor 'parts problems,' the most serious cause to watch out for is 'peri-implantitis.' Unlike natural teeth, implants lack the defensive tissue called the 'periodontal ligament' that prevents bacterial invasion. If tartar and plaque accumulate around the implant and cause inflammation, the gum bone will erode at a very rapid rate. ⚠️ If the gum bone has eroded and the artificial root (fixture) itself becomes loose, the existing implant must be removed. Gum treatment and bone grafting must be performed first, followed by re-surgery. If the tooth becomes loose accompanied by pus or a foul odor from the gums, you must visit a dentist immediately! 3️⃣ What are the 3 things to 'absolutely avoid' when an implant is loose? 👋 An unintentional action taken out of panic ends up requiring a shovel to fix what could have been fixed with a hoe. Before going to the dentist, you must absolutely not do the following out of anxiety! 🙅♂️ ❌ Trying to shake it repeatedly with your hand or tongue: This may cause the screw to break completely inside or cause additional damage to the surrounding gum bone. ❌ Continue chewing food on the missing side: If the pillar part remaining where the head fell off is damaged or broken, the entire pillar must be replaced. Be sure to eat on the opposite side! ❌ Attempting to fit it back in yourself or neglecting it: If you roughly try to fit a detached crown back in at home, it can misalign the bite (occlusion) and allow foreign substances to enter, causing inflammation. Furthermore, if left untreated for a long time, surrounding teeth may tilt into the empty space, making reattachment impossible. ❔ FAQ: Everything About Implant Prosthesis Dislodgement Q1. The entire crown of my implant fell out. I'm busy, so would it be okay if I came back a few days later? A1. You must visit us as soon as possible! If you leave the missing tooth untreated for more than a week, the surrounding teeth will subtly tilt or shift toward the empty space. Additionally, gum tissue will fill in around the post, preventing the existing prosthesis from fitting. In this case, a perfectly good prosthesis must be remade, which increases both the cost and the treatment period. 😥 Q2. If I go to the dentist because my implant is loose, do I have to have it extracted and undergo re-surgery no matter what? A2. No! The treatment varies completely depending on the cause of the loosening. If the internal screw has simply come loose or the adhesive has melted, the issue can be resolved very simply by retightening or reattaching the existing parts, and this applies to the majority of patients. However, if bone has eroded due to peri-implantitis, re-surgery may be necessary, so you must confirm the exact condition through a dental examination. Q3. Why do the implant screws come loose so often? Was the procedure done incorrectly? A3. This is due to the immense chewing force of the human jaw and the limitations of the 'screw structure,' rather than a problem with the procedure itself. Unlike natural teeth, implants lack the 'periodontal ligament' that absorbs shock, so the impact is transmitted directly to the bone and the screw. If you enjoy tough or hard foods, or have habits of teeth grinding or clenching, the screw may loosen more frequently. Q4. If the prosthesis falls out or breaks, do I have to bear all the costs? A4. Treatment is available free of charge or at a partial cost, depending on the 'Warranty Period Regulations' of the dental clinic where you received the procedure. Most dental clinics operate their own warranty systems. However, please be sure to check the clinic's guidelines, as you may be excluded from the warranty if you completely failed to keep regular check-up appointments or if there was clear negligence on your part (such as neglecting severe bruxism or consuming hard foods)! 🔍 🎯 Conclusion: Regular checkups that adhere to the golden time are key! When an implant becomes loose or falls out, the most important thing is 'speed'. 🏃♂️ Even if it is a simple issue with parts or adhesive, if left untreated for a long time, the gum tissue will fill the empty space, causing a simple treatment to escalate into a complex and major one. If there is a missing prosthesis (crown), place it in a clean gauze or container. Please visit the dental clinic within 1 to 2 days at the latest This is the golden time to protect your precious implants safely and at the lowest cost. 💡 Key Management Points from the Director! In fact, simply getting regular checkups every six months is enough to sufficiently prevent screw loosening or peri-screw inflammation. If you experience any discomfort in your daily life or feel even slight looseness, please do not delay and be sure to visit a dentist to have your condition checked! 🩺 Dr. Jae-wook Jeong, Chief Director of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Ministry of Health and Welfare specialist in Prosthodontics Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Master's degree from Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Internship at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Sinchon; completed residency in Prosthodontics.

My facial elasticity isn't what it used to be, so I'm looking into facial lifting procedures. I'm wondering how long the effects last after just one treatment. I've heard that the duration varies from clinic to clinic, so I'm unsure what to believe. Some people around me say it is good to get treatments every six months, while others say once a year is sufficient, so I would like to know the recommended interval for the procedure. I am also curious if receiving treatments too frequently puts a strain on the skin, or conversely, if the effects diminish if I wait too long. I would also like to know what kind of daily care is necessary to maintain the facial lifting effect for a long time. I am curious if skincare, home care, sun protection, exercise, or dietary habits affect the duration of the results. I have heard that proper post-procedure care alone can make the effects last longer, so I would like to hear opinions from those with actual experience. Has anyone here consistently received facial lifting treatments? I am curious to know how often you typically get re-treatments and what the most satisfactory interval was. If you have any secrets to maintaining long-lasting effects or criteria for deciding when to get a re-treatment, please share your realistic experiences and advice.

It has been quite a while since I started my diet, and my weight is decreasing little by little. However, I am worried because, strangely enough, my lower belly is particularly hard to slim down compared to my upper belly. My upper belly seems to have flattened out somewhat, but the area below my navel is still bulging out, so it is very noticeable even when I wear clothes. I consistently do cardio exercises and work hard on my diet, but my lower belly seems to show almost no change. People around me say that the causes of upper and lower belly fat are different, and some suggest it could be due to posture, pelvic issues, or weak abdominal muscles. I am curious if that is really the case.
담율로26.07.02Views 48Likes 0 The effects of Density really kicked in starting from week 2 — 1-Month Review + Care Method + Duration - Honest Review[6]
I have summarized step-by-step how things changed over the 2 weeks to 1 month since receiving Density. First, immediately after the procedure: I could feel my complexion brighten right away and my pores shrink. My skin felt somehow firm and toned. The second week was the most amazing. As the deep cheek fat lifted, the facial contours became smoothly refined. The uneven, sagging lines became smooth, and my face started to look slimmer. Even my double chin improved a little. My main concern wasn't a double chin, but I really liked the unexpected effect. Month 1: The wrinkles at the corners of my eyes have faded, and the marionette lines that used to stand out whenever I spoke have also significantly decreased. The walnut wrinkles that used to appear when I frowned have faded, too. The expression that my skin clings to the bone seems to fit perfectly. My sagging skin has tightened, gained elasticity, and my face looks slimmer. Post-procedure care is also really important. The director emphasized four things. Moisturize much more thoroughly than usual, get enough sleep, avoid unnecessary dieting, and make sure to take hyaluronic acid supplements. They say these treatments help maintain the effects for a longer period. To be honest, I think the effects last about 6 to 7 months. I think saying it lasts up to a year is a bit of an exaggeration; after the effects kicked in during the second week, it feels like it just stays the same from the month onwards. I am definitely willing to get it again. It's expensive so I can't do it often, but I plan to get it at least once a year. For those of you considering Density, which body part are you most curious about the effects on?
EXOlove26.07.02Views 82Likes 3 The most common concern before double eyelid surgery: Buried Suture Method vs. Incisional Method—which method is right for me?[4]
hello! Director Kim So-young of View Plastic Surgery no see. ✨ When conducting consultations for double eyelid surgery, there is a common question that patients ask most frequently. as soon as " Doctor, should I have the buried suture method or the incision method? It's a question about... 💬 If you look at reviews on the internet or social media, you will find many comments saying that "the buried suture method is natural and recovery is fast," and "the incisional method creates a distinct line that lasts a long time." However, when you are actually facing your own surgery, it is only natural to feel even more confused and worried about which choice is right. 🤔 So today, I will explain the real differences between the buried suture method and the incisional method—which many of you lose sleep worrying about—and pinpoint the key points in an easy-to-understand way to help you figure out which method is the perfect fit for your eyes! 👇 1️⃣ My friend became beautiful with the buried suture method, so why do I have to have the incisional method? This is one of the stories I hear very often in the counseling room. There are people who express disappointment, asking, "My friend's results turned out incredibly natural with the buried suture method, so why do you recommend the incisional method for me?" 🥲 However, double eyelid surgery is The surgical method varies completely depending strictly on the individual's eye structure. 👁️ The thickness of the eyelid skin, the amount of fat, the degree of skin sagging, and the strength of the muscles that open the eyes—such diverse and complex factors must be considered comprehensively. Therefore, even with the same monolid eyes, some people achieve perfect results with the buried suture method alone, while others require the incisional method to obtain satisfactory results that do not come undone. 👍 Rather than blindly following others' reviews or surgical methods, it is most important to have your eye condition accurately diagnosed by a specialist. ✨ 2️⃣ Who is the perfect fit for the buried suture method for natural-looking eyes? A method that promotes natural and rapid recovery by tying through small holes without incising the skin! The buried suture method is a surgical technique that creates a tight double eyelid line using medical sutures by making tiny holes instead of directly incising the skin. 🧵 Since it doesn't involve a scalpel, it has the strong advantage of relatively less swelling and a noticeably shorter recovery period. 🚀 📌 I highly recommend the buried suture method to these people! ✅ Those with naturally thin eyelid skin ✅ For those who do not have much fat on their eyelids ✅ Those who do not have severe skin sagging ✅ For those who want natural lines that look like their own, without any signs of surgery ⚠️ Recently, with the remarkable advancement of medical technology, the retention of the buried suture method has also become much stronger compared to the past. However, please keep in mind that if you have particularly thick skin or a significant amount of fat that protrudes noticeably, there is a relatively higher possibility that the lines may gradually weaken or loosen over time. 💡 3️⃣ Is the incisional method always artificial and very obvious that I've had plastic surgery? How to neatly smooth out thick skin and fat to achieve sharp and defined lines! Many people get scared just by hearing the word "incision method." It is because of the worry, "What if I get an incision and it looks too artificial, like sausage eyes?" 😢 It is true that in the past, there was a strong perception that incisional surgery invariably resulted in thick, prominent lines. but Recently, it is possible to design naturally to suit an individual's overall eye condition and desired needs. 🎨 The incisional method is a technique that creates a double eyelid by making an incision in the skin and neatly trimming any unnecessary fat or sagging tissue inside the eyelid. 📌 The incisional method is much more advantageous for these people! ✅ For those with firm and thick eyelid skin ✅ For those with excess fat on their eyelids ✅ For those who want clearer and more distinct lines without a blurry look 4️⃣ How much difference is there in the realistic recovery period after surgery? The point that those balancing work or studies are most realistically curious about is the 'recovery period'. 🗓️ In terms of general outcomes, the buried suture method certainly results in less swelling and bruising compared to the incisional method, and allows for a faster return to daily life. However, recently, as surgical techniques and equipment for the incision method have advanced delicately, bleeding and damage are less compared to the past, significantly reducing the burden of recovery for patients. ✨ ⚠️ Wait a minute! The most important point: You should not hastily decide on a surgical method based solely on recovery speed, simply saying, "I have to go to work early, so I'll definitely go with the buried suture method." 🙅 This is because choosing the standard method best suited to your eye structure, even if it takes a few extra days for recovery, is the surest way to prevent revision surgery and maximize satisfaction in the long run. ❔ FAQ: Top 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Double Eyelid Surgery Q1. Won't surgery using the incisional method leave unsightly scars on the eyes? 😢 A1. This is the part you fear the most before surgery. In the early stages after surgery, there may be some redness along the incision line or it may look like a scar, but in most cases, it gradually fades and becomes natural as time passes and the skin heals. Best of all, when your eyes are open, the scar tucks right inside the crease of your double eyelid and is hidden, so it isn't as noticeable as you might think; you don't need to worry too much! 🥰 Q2. If I have the first surgery done with an incision, is it impossible to get revision surgery later? 😰 A2. Absolutely not! Just because the first surgery was performed using the incisional method does not mean that future revision surgery is fundamentally impossible. 🙅 However, eye revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery because it requires precise calculation of much more complex and diverse factors, such as the condition of existing tissue and scar tissue. That is why To ensure a good start, it is best to determine the surgical method that is perfect for you through sufficient diagnosis and consultation from the beginning. 📌 Q3. If I am older, is the buried suture method unavailable and only the incisional method is possible? 👵 A3. No, that is also one of the common misconceptions! When deciding on a surgical method, the age figure itself is not an absolute criterion. What matters is not age, but the current degree of skin sagging and the condition of my eyelid muscles. 👁️ Even if you are in your 30s or 40s or older, if the skin around your eyes is not severely sagging and has elasticity, the buried suture method is often sufficient. Conversely, even if you are in your fresh 20s, if your eyelid skin is very thick and there is excessive fat, we may recommend the incisional method. ✨ 💡 Conclusion: Ultimately, the most perfect answer is 'the choice that suits my eyes' It cannot be concluded that either the buried suture method or the incisional method is absolutely superior or better. 🙅 Because the buried suture method has its own light and natural charm, while the incisional method has the distinct advantage of a clear and precise correction effect unique to itself. What is truly important is to avoid blindly chasing trendy eye shapes or hearsay about acquaintances or famous celebrities succeeding using a particular method. 🚫 You must find the perfect answer that fits exactly your unique eye structure, skin thickness, fat volume, and the balance of the image you ultimately desire. 🎯 ✨ Double eyelid surgery is not simply a procedure of drawing a single line on the eyelid; it is a delicate process that balances the entire eye shape to maximize one's impression and charm. . 👁️✨ There is no single correct answer to the dilemma of "Should I use the buried suture method or the incision method?" I hope you find skilled medical professionals who can thoroughly analyze your eye condition, undergo sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis, and choose the most suitable method to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. 💕 View Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kim So-young Master of Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine Doctor of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University College of Medicine Graduate School Completed residency in Plastic Surgery at Samsung Seoul Hospital Lifetime member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Anti-aging Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Oculoplastic Surgery Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Training in Plastic Surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA

고고서26.06.28Views 66Likes 1 Is there anything you regretted the most while dieting?[4]
I used to think that starving myself or eating only one type of food would help me lose weight quickly, but actually, I couldn't sustain it for long and gained the weight back. I want to do this properly this time, so I want to avoid methods that are ineffective or just physically exhausting. Did you happen to have any methods while dieting that made you think, "I really shouldn't have done this"? On the other hand, if there are any methods that were easier to stick to consistently than expected or worked well, please let me know as well! I am most curious about your personal experiences 😊
채소걸26.06.28Views 51Likes 1 Colonoscopy Procedure[1]
I want to get a colonoscopy every year, but since taking a lot of medicine and water the day before and emptying my bowels is painful, I have been substituting it with a stool sample every year lately. Then, while I was at the park, a woman told me that on the day of her colonoscopy, she administers the medication at the same time as her gastroscopy to make the process simpler. So I checked with a hospital and called them; they confirmed that administering the bowel-emptying medication during the gastroscopy allows for a complete bowel emptying in a short amount of time. However, seeing that major hospitals do not adopt this method, it seemed there might be some issue.

It is only natural to feel a sudden surge of fear when you receive an implant diagnosis during a dental check-up. After all, there are plenty of concerns, ranging from the long treatment period and hefty cost to the pain of surgery. In times like these, it is crucial to find a clinic specializing in implants through recommendations from acquaintances or reviews. If a place transparently discloses additional costs and administers anesthesia meticulously to minimize pain, even a timid person can successfully complete the procedure.
말해뭐해26.06.24Views 79Likes 2 I have skin problems and I can't find a solution. What should I do?[5]
I felt something on my skin. It kept itching, so I kept scratching it. After that, I applied ointment and treated it. It didn't itch for a while, but then it started itching again. Worried that it might be shingles, I went to the hospital, but they said it wasn't. I received treatment again and it got better, but it started itching again, and this scar just won't go away. This cycle keeps repeating over and over. It itches, then I get a little hives, then it goes away when I apply ointment, only to recur again—it's endless. Because this has been repeating indefinitely, I think I've been in this state for over a year. What on earth should I do about this? Even the hospital says there is nothing they can do.

기춘이26.06.22Views 93Likes 6 [Health Column] Laminates: How Many Should I Get? How to Find the Right Number for Your Teeth[4]
Hello. This is Dr. Lee Jung-ho, Chief Director of Seoul Dia Dental Clinic. ✨ "How many laminates should I get?" This is one of the most frequently asked questions by people visiting the dental clinic for consultations. However, there isn't actually a single, definitive answer to this question. For some, one is the right answer, for others, four is, and for still others, more. 💡 The key here is! It's not about finding a standard number, but finding the number that fits you perfectly. So, shall we go through the criteria for determining the right number of laminates for you, one by one? 1. How many teeth are problematic? This is the most basic standard. 📌 🔸 What if you only have one discolored tooth? Just one might be enough. 🔸 On the other hand, what if your entire front teeth are uneven? You might need several. As such, the number and location of the problematic teeth serve as the first criterion. 2. How well does it harmonize with the surrounding teeth? This is where the really important part begins! ✨ Let's assume you get just one laminate. If that single piece blends naturally with the surrounding teeth in color, shape, and size, one is sufficient. ⚠️ However, if the surrounding teeth are too dark or significantly different in shape, doing just one might actually make it stand out too much. 📌 In such cases, treating a few surrounding teeth together results in a much more natural overall outcome. ✔ The reason for increasing the number may not be to gain more profit, but to achieve a more natural result. 3. How far do your teeth extend when you smile? How many teeth can you see when you smile naturally and widely? 😊 Usually, about 6 to 8 of the front teeth are the most visible when smiling. 📌 When getting veneers, it is really important to maintain balance within the visible range when smiling. Let's take an example. If you have six teeth visible when you smile but only get veneers on two of them, it may look awkward because the color and shape differ from the other four. ⚠️ Conversely, there is absolutely no need to unnecessarily increase the number to the point where it is not visible when smiling. 4. What is the current state of your tooth occlusion? How the teeth interlock (occlusion) also has a significant impact on determining the number. 🦷 📌 If there are occlusion problems: Increasing the number and adjusting them together can sometimes produce better results. 📌 In cases of good occlusion: It is much better for tooth preservation to remove only the necessary teeth and minimize the number. 🔹 Is it really necessary to do a lot to make it good? That is absolutely not the correct answer! ❌ It is true that having more pieces makes it easier to match the color and shape with surrounding teeth and relatively easier to maintain the results. However, that absolutely does not mean that everyone needs a large number. ⚠️ Recommending 8 to someone who needs 1 is not a choice for the patient's benefit. Laminates are a treatment that is difficult to reverse once performed. Therefore, they must be precisely designed to be exactly what is needed. Because that is the correct treatment for the true patient. 🤝 🎯 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I heard that laminates should be done in even numbers, but is it okay to do them in odd numbers? A1. Since left-right symmetry is considered based on the midline of the front teeth, an even number of teeth often looks more natural. However, if the number of discolored or damaged teeth is odd, such as one or three, that number alone is sufficient. The important thing is how naturally they blend with the surrounding teeth. Q2. The number recommended varies at every dental clinic I consulted. Why is that? A2. The recommended number of veneers may vary because diagnostic criteria and treatment philosophies differ from dental clinic to clinic. Consulting thoroughly at several places and comparing the options is a good way to find the number that is perfect for you. 🔸 Conclusion: What matters is the standard of the result. ✔️ Key Summary: Having more is not necessarily better, nor is having fewer better. ✔️ Key Point: The key is to carefully craft them by finding the right number for your tooth condition and meticulously considering the color, shape, and occlusion to blend naturally with surrounding teeth. ✔️ Necessity of Consulting a Specialist: It is the role of a dentist to accurately determine the right number for you and achieve natural-looking results. To make an informed decision, please be sure to have a thorough consultation with a specialist first! 🩺 Seoul Dia Dental Clinic Chief Director Lee Jeong-ho Ministry of Health and Welfare Certified Specialist in Integrated Dentistry Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry Advanced Dentistry procedure university High-end implants Dentistry procedure Oral Design Uncensored laminate course American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) Regular member Osstem Implant Clinical Research Center Research Advisory Committee
이정호 원장26.06.19Views 171Likes 3 [Question] Please recommend a cost-effective treatment method to improve dull skin tone during the summer~~~^^[9]
I am worried because my facial skin has become noticeably dull and seems to have lost its vitality, perhaps due to the strong UV rays during the summer. Every time I look in the mirror, I can really feel my complexion has darkened, so I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to get a dermatological procedure. I am wondering what procedures offer good value for money in terms of time and cost, rather than those that take too long or have a long recovery period. People around me have been recommending things like vitamin treatments and laser toning. For those of you who have actually tried them, what were the results like? Alternatively, if there are any other cost-effective treatments suitable for office workers or busy people to get casually during the summer, please share them. I would also like to know roughly how much I should expect to pay, and how often I need to receive treatments to maintain the effect. If there is a treatment method you were most satisfied with for improving dull skin tone during the summer, I would be very grateful if you could wholeheartedly recommend it!
바다사랑태양26.06.18Views 178Likes 2 CoolSculpting accessory breast treatment, a method to improve underarm fat without incisions[4]
Hello, this is Dr. Woo Eun-kyung from Jongno Le Miel Plastic Surgery. If you have hesitated to wear sleeveless tops or swimsuits because of the bulges of fat around your armpits whenever you choose clothes, I fully understand how you feel. You must have been frustrated because no matter how much you dieted or exercised consistently, that particular area showed no change. ⚠️ Actually, this concern may not be simply due to excess fat. This is because the cause of accessory breasts differs fundamentally from that of ordinary fat, making it difficult to resolve through lifestyle changes alone. Today, I will provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the reasons why accessory breasts develop and the CoolSculpting procedure, which is accessible without incisions, focusing on practical information. What is an accessory breast? Accessory breasts refer to residual breast tissue remaining in or around the armpit in addition to normal breast tissue. Medically, it is called 'polymastia,' and it often occurs when the mammary ridge does not completely degenerate during fetal development. Underarm accessory breasts may appear to protrude when the arms are lowered or look like flesh is being pushed out beyond the bra line, and may be accompanied by skin sagging and pigmentation. Key characteristics of accessory breasts 📌 Occurs in various locations such as the armpits, sides of the chest, abdomen, and groin 📌 Size may change during the menstrual cycle or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 📌 May cause pain or discomfort 📌 Occurs rarely in men as well as women Why do accessory breasts develop? The causes of accessory breasts are broadly divided Innate factors class Acquired factors It is divided into. Innate factors Incomplete degeneration of the mammary ridge during the fetal stage genetic predisposition Residual hormone-sensitive tissue Acquired factors Weight gain and body fat accumulation Hormonal changes after pregnancy and childbirth Incorrect posture and underwear wearing habits What is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is FDA-approved Cryolipolysis It is a technology that utilizes the principle that fat cells selectively die at low temperatures of -5 to 5°C, without affecting surrounding skin, muscle, or nerve tissues. Over the course of about 2 to 3 months after the procedure, the dead fat cells are naturally expelled through the lymphatic system, and the volume of the treated area gradually decreases. Key Benefits of CoolSculpting ✔ No scars due to non-surgical and non-incisional procedure ✔ Procedure takes 35–60 minutes, allowing for immediate return to daily activities. ✔ Once dead, fat cells do not regenerate ✔ Can be applied to small areas such as armpits, flanks, and thighs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. Do I have to have surgery if I have accessory breasts? That is not necessarily the case. Fatty accessory breasts can be improved through non-surgical methods such as CoolSculpting. However, if mammary gland tissue is involved, it is recommended to consult a specialist to determine whether surgery is necessary. Q. When do the effects of CoolSculpting start to appear? Changes begin to be felt 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure, and the final results can be confirmed approximately 2 to 3 months later. This may vary depending on individual metabolic rate. Q. Is CoolSculpting possible for underarm accessory breasts? Yes, it is possible. Using an underarm-specific applicator allows for effective treatment even in narrow areas. However, a preliminary evaluation is required as the effectiveness may vary depending on the proportion of mammary gland tissue within the accessory breast. Q. Are there any precautions after the procedure? Temporary redness, swelling, and decreased sensation may occur immediately after the procedure, but most recover within a few days. Adequate hydration and light aerobic exercise after the procedure help with fat elimination. In conclusion Underarm accessory breasts are a concern for many people, yet it is difficult to readily visit a hospital for treatment. However, significant improvement is possible with accurate identification of the cause and the selection of the appropriate procedure. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical option that is particularly effective for fatty accessory breasts, and it is preferred by many due to its quick return to daily life. We recommend that you make a decision after consulting thoroughly with a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.

They look similar, but it seems like the maintenance methods are different. I am curious if the cause itself is different. Does the choice of procedure also change? I'm not sure if there is a difference in how to manage it at home, either. I think the distinction is more important than I thought, so I'm going to take this opportunity to learn it. The management methods for the two are different, right?
이하린26.06.16Views 60Likes 5 Is there a way to suppress a persistent appetite?[11]
Lately, as temperatures have gradually risen and warm days have continued, I've started to regain my appetite. Whenever I get stressed, I tend to relieve it by eating; I find myself filling my stomach without even noticing the fullness, and I find myself unconsciously reaching for food while thinking how delicious it looks. As a result, I find myself gaining weight little by little day by day. As a result, it seems like this phenomenon is occurring because my appetite keeps increasing. Unlike hunger, is there a way to resist appetite, or is there another method to suppress it if it arises?

찌니26.06.14Views 70Likes 1 If your melasma got darker after receiving an intense laser treatment, it is because of this reason + Approaches to different types of dark circles[4]
Did you know that increasing the intensity to get rid of melasma quickly can actually make it darker? I just found that out, too. Melasma is treated by breaking down melanin pigments, but they say that if the intensity is too high, it can actually induce hyperpigmentation and make the spots darker. They say that melasma needs to be treated gently and over the long term, and that the question of whether it can be removed in just a few sessions is unanswerable. You can see results for blemishes and freckles even with a single treatment, but melasma is different. You need to distinguish between different types of dark circles to approach them differently. Pigmented type (bluish) Approach via Pico Toning Vascular type (opaque and dark) Vascular laser series sunken type (appearing dark due to indentation) Irijuran + Ultracol 200 or under-eye fat repositioning It is said that while sunken under-eye fat repositioning provides the best immediate results, the skin can sag again over time, and since it is a procedure that is difficult to perform a second time, it is better to delay the treatment as much as possible. If you are concerned about freckles or dark circles, the first step is to identify what type of dark circles you have. Even if it is the same dark circles, the treatment varies completely depending on the type. Which is your biggest concern among freckles, blemishes, and dark circles? If you have received any treatments or found any effective skincare methods, please share them in the comments!
도로시와26.06.12Views 66Likes 2 I was interested in the implant procedure and cost before visiting Daejeon Seon Dental Hospital, and I am satisfied with the consultation.[16]
I need to get dental implants, but I was very worried because other places said I needed a bone graft. There is the financial burden, and it seems like the treatment process will be long. I couldn't make a decision easily. Before the visit, my biggest concerns were whether a bone graft was really necessary and how long the treatment would take and how much it would cost. After visiting Seon Dental Hospital for a consultation, they thoroughly assessed my current condition and explained that in my case, implants are possible without a bone graft. I was also able to fully resolve my questions by receiving detailed information regarding the costs and treatment process. After the consultation, my vague anxiety decreased significantly, and I trusted them even more because it seemed like they only recommended necessary treatments. Thanks to this, it was a great help in establishing a treatment plan.
