Secrets to health revealed by scholars in their 90s: The key is 'regular habits and moderation'
Two scholars in their 90s, who have spent their entire lives researching cancer and medicine, are drawing attention for revealing their special secrets to a healthy old age. Despite their advanced age, they maintain remarkable stamina and have lived such healthy lives that they have not caught a single cold in the last 20 years.
Radiation oncologist Professor Song Chang-won and a renowned authority in the field of prostate cancer identified 'habits of moderation' as the most important factor for health. They emphasized the importance of avoiding excessive nutritional intake and engaging in consistent daily activity without straining the body.
Furthermore, they advise that mental health management is just as important as physical health. They explain that intellectual curiosity, which keeps them from ever stopping their research, and a positive mindset are of great help in maintaining vitality in old age. It shows that the key to health lies in keeping small daily habits rather than relying on special herbal medicines.
This news is serving as a great inspiration to many Koreans who are concerned about living a healthy life. Experts have evaluated that in a Korean society that has entered an aging era, their example will serve as a good model for preparing for a healthy old age.
