(Professor Emeritus Lee Gyeho, CNU)
Hello, this is the second lecture about

3
00:00:11.175 --> 00:00:15.475
the two sides of nutrients: poison or cure

4
00:00:15.475 --> 00:00:17.225
So, what does this really mean?

5
00:00:17.675 --> 00:00:22.425
When we eat, how we eat can. make food

6
00:00:22.425 --> 00:00:26.825
either a poison or a cure; remember this

7
00:00:28.125 --> 00:00:36.225
In Korea, views on issues are very diverse

8
00:00:36.225 --> 00:00:37.725
For example,

9
00:00:37.725 --> 00:00:41.975
(cause) you go to the restroom to mop

10
00:00:41.975 --> 00:00:44.975
Clearly, water is overflowing there

11
00:00:44.975 --> 00:00:51.476
So, you'd clean up the water quickly

12
00:00:51.476 --> 00:00:55.126
Why? Because it could spill outside

13
00:00:55.126 --> 00:00:57.276
But what's causing the spill?

14
00:00:57.276 --> 00:00:59.526
The faucet is broken

15
00:00:59.526 --> 00:01:04.176
You need to fix the broken faucet (cause)

16
00:01:04.176 --> 00:01:07.026
not just treat the symptoms

17
00:01:08.826 --> 00:01:10.426
But in Korea, there's so much focus

18
00:01:10.426 --> 00:01:15.876
on treatments/cures that treat sympotoms

19
00:01:15.876 --> 00:01:20.876
It's one of the countries with most cures

20
00:01:20.876 --> 00:01:24.776
and special treatments in the world

21
00:01:24.776 --> 00:01:26.226
You've probably heart a lot of them too

22
00:01:26.226 --> 00:01:27.576
For example,

23
00:01:27.576 --> 00:01:31.276
lately, I've been getting gray hair and

24
00:01:32.026 --> 00:01:36.076
white hairs. So, try eating black beans

25
00:01:36.076 --> 00:01:39.126
and it keeps going on like that

26
00:01:39.626 --> 00:01:42.376
But as I mentioned before

27
00:01:42.376 --> 00:01:45.726
every symptom has a cause

28
00:01:45.726 --> 00:01:50.376
We should treat both the cause and symptom

29
00:01:50.376 --> 00:01:55.826
Let's take a look at why even the same food

30
00:01:55.826 --> 00:01:59.176
can be either a poison or a cure

31
00:02:02.026 --> 00:02:03.776
You all know who she is, right?

32
00:02:05.426 --> 00:02:08.776
She's a figure skater, Yuna Kim

33
00:02:08.776 --> 00:02:12.576
If we analyze the solid components of

34
00:02:12.576 --> 00:02:16.677
the body, like her or your own strong

35
00:02:16.677 --> 00:02:19.227
muscles and bones, the composition is

36
00:02:19.227 --> 00:02:24.727
the same as that of soil and chemical

37
00:02:24.727 --> 00:02:30.627
And the liquid in us (seawater and water)

38
00:02:30.627 --> 00:02:34.777
So, what is a human? A house made of earth

39
00:02:34.777 --> 00:02:37.427
And when a person dies, where do they go?

40
00:02:37.427 --> 00:02:41.527
Back to the earth, back to the original

41
00:02:41.527 --> 00:02:46.677
So, humans are created to receive

42
00:02:46.677 --> 00:02:51.177
nutrients from the earth to survive

43
00:02:51.177 --> 00:02:54.577
But imagine how sad it'd be if we woke up

44
00:02:54.577 --> 00:02:58.777
ate a bowl of earth, had clay for lunch,

45
00:02:58.777 --> 00:03:02.977
and earth porridge for dinner.

46
00:03:02.977 --> 00:03:04.977
So, God, wanting to help humans get

47
00:03:04.977 --> 00:03:10.677
the nutrients from the earth, created

48
00:03:10.677 --> 00:03:13.377
plants on the third day to deliver them

49
00:03:13.377 --> 00:03:14.927
"Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it,

50
00:03:14.927 --> 00:03:15.877
according to their various kinds.' And it was so." [Gen. 1:11]

51
00:03:15.877 --> 00:03:19.277
The role of plants is very simple

52
00:03:19.277 --> 00:03:21.577
They send their roots into the ground and

53
00:03:21.577 --> 00:03:27.777
extract the nutrients needed by humans

54
00:03:27.777 --> 00:03:31.927
then deliver them through

55
00:03:31.927 --> 00:03:33.527
the leaves, fruit, or stems

56
00:03:33.527 --> 00:03:36.927
But just in case humans don't eat them

57
00:03:36.927 --> 00:03:43.877
they add sweetness, fragrance, and color

58
00:03:43.877 --> 00:03:48.127
So, the food that God originally provided

59
00:03:48.127 --> 00:03:50.728
when we eat, something interesting happens

60
00:03:50.728 --> 00:03:53.428
When we eat food

61
00:03:53.428 --> 00:03:56.678
energy is generated

62
00:03:56.678 --> 00:03:59.378
That's why we can talk, walk, and live

63
00:03:59.378 --> 00:04:03.078
But the leftover from the food we eat

64
00:04:03.078 --> 00:04:06.328
creates aging matters, causing us to die

65
00:04:06.328 --> 00:04:07.628
What does this mean? Food has both

66
00:04:07.628 --> 00:04:11.728
the life-giving function (medicine) and

67
00:04:11.728 --> 00:04:13.478
the death-bringing function (poison)

68
00:04:13.478 --> 00:04:17.878
This balance needs to be just right

69
00:04:17.878 --> 00:04:19.778
It has to be balanced properly

70
00:04:19.778 --> 00:04:21.528
If it's off, the food can become either

71
00:04:21.528 --> 00:04:24.028
a medicine or a poison

72
00:04:24.028 --> 00:04:26.528
It means it can swing both ways

73
00:04:26.528 --> 00:04:30.778
So, when the two functions of food

74
00:04:30.778 --> 00:04:33.728
are balanced properly, what happens?

75
00:04:33.728 --> 00:04:36.978
The immune system

76
00:04:36.978 --> 00:04:42.628
God originally gave us is perfect

77
00:04:42.628 --> 00:04:47.528
Thus, we can overcome all kinds of disease

78
00:04:47.528 --> 00:04:50.228
COVID-19 isn't even a disease

79
00:04:51.828 --> 00:04:55.428
God has given us a weapon,

80
00:04:55.428 --> 00:04:58.578
our immune system, to fight all diseases

81
00:04:58.578 --> 00:05:01.428
The problem is, in our lives,

82
00:05:01.428 --> 00:05:05.078
our immunity goes up and down

83
00:05:05.078 --> 00:05:09.028
When it drops

84
00:05:09.028 --> 00:05:11.328
that's when all human diseases begin

85
00:05:12.228 --> 00:05:14.428
All human diseases start from there

86
00:05:15.629 --> 00:05:20.179
Do you know what this is? It's an apple

87
00:05:20.179 --> 00:05:22.379
There's a British proverb, "An apple a day

88
00:05:22.379 --> 00:05:26.279
keeps the doctor away." It means

89
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:33.579
apples are a fruit full of nutrients

90
00:05:33.579 --> 00:05:36.429
But the apple your grandfather ate

91
00:05:36.429 --> 00:05:42.679
in the 1910s, the nutrients in that

92
00:05:42.679 --> 00:05:47.379
single apple, are different from today

93
00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:49.579
This is a credential data from the USDA

94
00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:53.679
Just 80-90 years have passed,

95
00:05:53.679 --> 00:05:55.829
but the nutrient levels have all decreased

96
00:05:55.829 --> 00:06:01.079
For iron, the nutrient in apples has

97
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.129
by 96% between 70-80 years ago

98
00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:08.579
So, to get the same amount of iron

99
00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:11.929
that your grandfather got from one apple

100
00:06:11.929 --> 00:06:15.679
100 years ago, you would need to eat

101
00:06:15.679 --> 00:06:21.029
40 apples today at least

102
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.279
This means today's apples aren't authentic

103
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.379
They're just pretending to be apples

104
00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:32.129
For those of you watching, especially

105
00:06:32.129 --> 00:06:35.529
older viewers might understand this better

106
00:06:35.529 --> 00:06:39.529
Do you know the Jonathan apple?

107
00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:42.529
What kind of apple is it?

108
00:06:42.529 --> 00:06:46.930
It's red, small, and sweet and sour

109
00:06:46.930 --> 00:06:50.930
It makes my mouth water already

110
00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:52.430
The sweet and sour flavor comes from

111
00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:58.730
the rich presence of malic acid

112
00:06:58.730 --> 00:07:02.980
That small, sweet and sour Jonathan apple,

113
00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:08.680
with the same nutritional value as 4-5

114
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.980
today's Fuji apples, has been replaced

115
00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:15.580
because people prefer sweetness over

116
00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:19.380
sourness where now only sweet ones remain

117
00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:22.580
They've all changed like that

118
00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:27.280
And the soil where apple trees take root

119
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:29.380
has changed unlike 100 years ago

120
00:07:29.380 --> 00:07:33.680
These changes also affect the food we eat

121
00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:39.580
Not only it decrease iron levels,

122
00:07:39.580 --> 00:07:42.130
but also decreases the vitamin levels

123
00:07:42.130 --> 00:07:45.830
All vitamins except C have decreased

124
00:07:45.830 --> 00:07:48.680
Is it just apples? No, it's not

125
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.180
Fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, grains,

126
00:07:54.180 --> 00:08:01.930
and meats all have reduced nutrient levels

127
00:08:01.930 --> 00:08:06.330
Only phosphorus and potassium increased

128
00:08:06.330 --> 00:08:07.730
Why?

129
00:08:07.730 --> 00:08:12.680
It's because of the 
fertilizer components

130
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:17.381
Fertilizer is needed to grow well include

131
00:08:17.381 --> 00:08:24.681
phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen

132
00:08:24.681 --> 00:08:30.031
That's why the food we eat keeps changing

133
00:08:31.431 --> 00:08:35.631
There's this issue with changing food

134
00:08:35.631 --> 00:08:38.281
but the bigger problem is this:

135
00:08:39.331 --> 00:08:41.231
When you eat food, like sweet potatoes,

136
00:08:42.781 --> 00:08:49.531
potatoes, rice, noodles, or bread,

137
00:08:49.531 --> 00:08:55.281
what do we call them? Carbohydrates

138
00:08:55.281 --> 00:09:00.581
For carbohydrates to digest in the body,

139
00:09:00.581 --> 00:09:07.581
the enzyme amylase must be produced

140
00:09:07.581 --> 00:09:12.531
But strangely, God designed the enzyme

141
00:09:12.531 --> 00:09:16.381
amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates,

142
00:09:16.381 --> 00:09:20.831
doesn't come out at all in the stomach

143
00:09:20.831 --> 00:09:22.531
Not a single drop comes 
from the stomach

144
00:09:23.581 --> 00:09:26.000
Where does it come out, then?

145
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.431
It's only present in saliva

146
00:09:30.781 --> 00:09:35.031
So, when we eat carbs, like rice,

147
00:09:35.031 --> 00:09:37.731
the carb-digesting enzyme amylase is

148
00:09:37.731 --> 00:09:43.481
needed for digestion and absorption

149
00:09:43.481 --> 00:09:47.131
But amylase is not produced in the stomach

150
00:09:47.131 --> 00:09:52.331
not even a single drop

151
00:09:52.331 --> 00:09:55.281
It's only found in saliva

152
00:09:56.832 --> 00:10:00.032
Do you know how many teeth we have?

153
00:10:00.032 --> 00:10:04.532
An average adult has 32 teeth

154
00:10:04.532 --> 00:10:09.332
And how many canines and incisors?

155
00:10:09.332 --> 00:10:14.582
Together, that makes 12 teeth

156
00:10:14.582 --> 00:10:16.982
If you subtract 12 from the total of 32

157
00:10:16.982 --> 00:10:21.882
you get 20. These are molars

158
00:10:22.782 --> 00:10:29.532
So, the 20 molars means to chew

159
00:10:31.882 --> 00:10:36.732
Why did God place 20 molars in our mouths?

160
00:10:36.732 --> 00:10:38.632
To chew; Don't chew on

161
00:10:39.732 --> 00:10:45.182
other people's business, focus on your own

162
00:10:46.482 --> 00:10:50.932
But we're busy, we need to make money

163
00:10:50.932 --> 00:10:52.432
we need to study at the academy to get

164
00:10:52.432 --> 00:10:56.382
better result 
the SAT/ACT for college

165
00:10:56.382 --> 00:10:59.632
So, we start to pass mealtime and develop

166
00:10:59.632 --> 00:11:04.032
the habit of eating fast, which became

167
00:11:04.032 --> 00:11:07.232
part of our daily routine now

168
00:11:07.832 --> 00:11:10.332
So, let's see what happens if we eat fast

169
00:11:11.632 --> 00:11:15.482
You'd swallow the food without any saliva

170
00:11:15.482 --> 00:11:19.833
which goes straight down into the stomach

171
00:11:19.833 --> 00:11:23.233
The stomach then spends 2 hours grinding

172
00:11:23.233 --> 00:11:26.183
into a paste and to the small intestine

173
00:11:26.183 --> 00:11:27.983
But when it's sent to the small intestine

174
00:11:27.983 --> 00:11:30.333
if digestive enzymes were present

175
00:11:30.333 --> 00:11:33.583
it would already be broken down

176
00:11:33.583 --> 00:11:37.233
into glucose and absorbed

177
00:11:37.233 --> 00:11:42.283
Instead, the intestine became a trash bin

178
00:11:43.233 --> 00:11:45.783
Its temperature is 39 Celcius

179
00:11:46.633 --> 00:11:52.233
These days, during the hot summer,

180
00:11:52.233 --> 00:11:55.983
it's usually around 39-40 Celsius, very hot

181
00:11:55.983 --> 00:11:58.433
In 2-3 hours, it'll probably spoil

182
00:11:58.433 --> 00:12:01.233
and start to smell

183
00:12:02.433 --> 00:12:04.633
What did we say about people like this?

184
00:12:04.633 --> 00:12:07.883
Their gas and stool smell strong

185
00:12:07.883 --> 00:12:11.283
because the food they ate

186
00:12:11.283 --> 00:12:12.533
should digest and absorb

187
00:12:12.533 --> 00:12:17.333
but what's it doing instead? 
It's rotting

188
00:12:18.833 --> 00:12:22.183
Therefore, we need to chew food

189
00:12:24.283 --> 00:12:28.533
Many people say we 
must follow God's word

190
00:12:28.533 --> 00:12:31.833
when living a faith life

191
00:12:31.833 --> 00:12:36.033
In terms of spiritual obedience

192
00:12:36.033 --> 00:12:38.633
we pray, study scripture, and engage in

193
00:12:38.633 --> 00:12:41.983
various spiritual practices with training

194
00:12:41.983 --> 00:12:46.633
When it comes to

195
00:12:46.633 --> 00:12:49.384
obeying God's word physically

196
00:12:49.384 --> 00:12:51.134
most people don't know what that means

197
00:12:52.784 --> 00:12:55.684
And what is eating food?

198
00:12:55.684 --> 00:12:59.434
Chewing thoroughly as we eat?

199
00:12:59.434 --> 00:13:03.284
It's a way to physically follow God's word

200
00:13:03.284 --> 00:13:07.934
So this too is part of a holy faith life

201
00:13:07.934 --> 00:13:11.784
Just like we worship and pray, putting

202
00:13:12.734 --> 00:13:17.584
putting effort into chewing

203
00:13:17.584 --> 00:13:21.634
It's time for a change in our faith

204
00:13:21.634 --> 00:13:24.734
So far, we've focused on the spirit life

205
00:13:24.734 --> 00:13:28.634
God wants us to be strong and balanced

206
00:13:28.634 --> 00:13:31.784
God sees with deep compassion a person

207
00:13:31.784 --> 00:13:34.384
God views it with great compassion and sorrow

208
00:13:34.384 --> 00:13:38.984
So now, chewing is part of our faith life

209
00:13:38.984 --> 00:13:43.084
Why? Because it's obeying God's word

210
00:13:43.734 --> 00:13:49.884
But chewing is not easy at all

211
00:13:49.884 --> 00:13:53.634
So, let me share a few tips with you

212
00:13:55.634 --> 00:14:00.984
First, brown rice is good for health and

213
00:14:00.984 --> 00:14:07.684
you need to chew it at least 50 times

214
00:14:07.684 --> 00:14:09.584
I can already hear a sigh

215
00:14:10.734 --> 00:14:12.734
This is actually stress, right? Why?

216
00:14:12.734 --> 00:14:18.235
Because I've strongly said that

217
00:14:18.235 --> 00:14:23.635
chewing 50 times is part of your faith life

218
00:14:23.635 --> 00:14:27.185
So, I started my day by taking a spoonful

219
00:14:27.185 --> 00:14:29.685
of brown rice and trying to chew 50 times

220
00:14:29.685 --> 00:14:33.285
After chewing about 5 times, it started to

221
00:14:33.285 --> 00:14:39.635
go down my throat; I tried to block it

222
00:14:39.635 --> 00:14:42.235
Then, 50 times felt really long

223
00:14:42.235 --> 00:14:47.485
I started counting just in case I forget

224
00:14:47.485 --> 00:14:52.135
Counted 41, 42, 43, and someone asks me

225
00:14:52.135 --> 00:14:54.585


226
00:14:54.585 --> 00:14:59.435
I forgot whether it was 41 or 31

227
00:14:59.435 --> 00:15:03.035
I would get stressed every time I ate

228
00:15:03.035 --> 00:15:07.685
So, my wise recommendation

229
00:15:07.685 --> 00:15:10.885
making brown rice or white rice

230
00:15:10.885 --> 00:15:15.085


231
00:15:15.085 --> 00:15:19.685
Wash the whole sesame seeds and add

232
00:15:19.685 --> 00:15:23.535
a proper amount of whole sesame seeds

233
00:15:23.535 --> 00:15:25.935
Then, when you serve the rice, you can eat

234
00:15:25.935 --> 00:15:30.185
As you chew, you'll hear the pleasant

235
00:15:30.185 --> 00:15:35.035
sound of sesame seeds popping in mouth

236
00:15:35.035 --> 00:15:40.735
You'll no longer hear it after 50 times

237
00:15:40.735 --> 00:15:44.235
So, if tou chew the rice 
until you don't hear

238
00:15:44.235 --> 00:15:47.436
The more you chew

239
00:15:47.436 --> 00:15:51.836
the more it starts to taste richer

240
00:15:51.836 --> 00:15:58.686
and you can enjoy the rice more

241
00:15:58.686 --> 00:16:01.186
But this still might not work, why?

242
00:16:01.186 --> 00:16:07.236
For 30 to 60 years, my body 
has been trained to swallow food

243
00:16:07.236 --> 00:16:10.086
would react that way; for those

244
00:16:10.086 --> 00:16:13.636
who can't do this, I recommend

245
00:16:13.636 --> 00:16:18.586
eating a plate of your favorite salad

246
00:16:18.586 --> 00:16:21.886


247
00:16:21.886 --> 00:16:25.486
Even for someone who eats fast

248
00:16:25.486 --> 00:16:29.786
when it comes to that soft lettuce

249
00:16:29.786 --> 00:16:32.986
can they swallow it without chewing? No

250
00:16:32.986 --> 00:16:35.836
How about the carrots? No

251
00:16:35.836 --> 00:16:39.036
So, you have to chew to eat the salad

252
00:16:40.036 --> 00:16:41.736
You absolutely have to chew

253
00:16:41.736 --> 00:16:46.986
While chewing, a lot of saliva is produced

254
00:16:46.986 --> 00:16:51.786
then, when you eat rice with sesame seeds

255
00:16:52.736 --> 00:16:56.586
The so-called digestive enzymes

256
00:16:56.586 --> 00:16:57.836
by obeying God's word

257
00:16:57.836 --> 00:17:02.936
the easiest way to turn the carbohydrates 
we enjoy eating

258
00:17:02.936 --> 00:17:05.136
into medicine is something that 
most people in our country are

259
00:17:05.136 --> 00:17:09.486
currently neglecting

260
00:17:10.836 --> 00:17:13.486
Why? Because they need to make money

261
00:17:13.486 --> 00:17:17.036
If there's only 3 or 5 minutes to eat

262
00:17:17.036 --> 00:17:20.537
they mix it with water and gulp it down

263
00:17:22.787 --> 00:17:24.837


264
00:17:24.837 --> 00:17:26.937
"When I go to the cafeteria 
with others at work"

265
00:17:26.937 --> 00:17:31.137
with others, if they chew 50 times

266
00:17:31.137 --> 00:17:35.087
others finish eating and leave

267
00:17:35.087 --> 00:17:38.939
which doesn't fit with social life

268
00:17:39.487 --> 00:17:43.137
In this case, if you don't have time or

269
00:17:43.137 --> 00:17:45.237
need to match your eating time with others

270
00:17:45.237 --> 00:17:46.387
what should you do?

271
00:17:46.387 --> 00:17:49.737
You need to reduce the amount of food

272
00:17:49.737 --> 00:17:55.437
If you reduce the amount of food and chew

273
00:17:55.437 --> 00:17:58.587
slowly, it becomes more beneficial

274
00:17:58.587 --> 00:18:04.019
Slowly eating less is much better for

275
00:18:05.237 --> 00:18:13.887
your health and helps with weight loss

276
00:18:13.887 --> 00:18:15.487
Because God, in his wisdom, made

277
00:18:15.487 --> 00:18:17.537
the structure of the stomach such that

278
00:18:17.537 --> 00:18:22.637
food enters and is kneaded for 2 hours

279
00:18:22.637 --> 00:18:26.037
to create a paste right?

280
00:18:26.037 --> 00:18:32.187
So, there's a valve which kneads the food

281
00:18:32.187 --> 00:18:35.487
But the food will spill out if the stomach

282
00:18:35.487 --> 00:18:37.387
is too full and it gets kneaded

283
00:18:37.387 --> 00:18:44.837
That's why food should only fill up

284
00:18:44.837 --> 00:18:48.188
2/3 of the stomach, and a sensor is placed

285
00:18:48.188 --> 00:18:54.088
so when the food fills up and reaches 2/3

286
00:18:54.088 --> 00:18:57.788
nerve cells send a signal that it's full

287
00:18:57.788 --> 00:19:00.888
Then, leptin is released, which suppresses

288
00:19:00.888 --> 00:19:03.238
appetite and makes you lose your craving

289
00:19:03.638 --> 00:19:05.538
The stomach shouldn't be full because

290
00:19:05.538 --> 00:19:06.838
it needs some space for kneading

291
00:19:06.838 --> 00:19:11.138
But the nerve sensor activates

292
00:19:11.138 --> 00:19:15.988


293
00:19:15.988 --> 00:19:18.788
Generally, people who gain weight are

294
00:19:18.788 --> 00:19:20.538
those who eat fast, before the 5-10 minute

295
00:19:20.538 --> 00:19:22.838
before the sensor has a chance to activate

296
00:19:23.388 --> 00:19:27.088


297
00:19:27.088 --> 00:19:30.088
after 5-10 minutes, when the stomach is

298
00:19:30.088 --> 00:19:35.288
2/3 full, leptin is released, signaling

299
00:19:35.288 --> 00:19:39.488
it's full, which leads to weight loss

300
00:19:39.488 --> 00:19:40.788
You understand what I'm saying?

301
00:19:40.788 --> 00:19:44.238
So, for those who are worried about

302
00:19:44.238 --> 00:19:48.888
overeating, if you eat slowly, the portion

303
00:19:48.888 --> 00:19:53.938
decreases while getting more nutrition

304
00:19:53.938 --> 00:19:57.638
So, whether it becomes medicine or poison

305
00:19:59.288 --> 00:20:02.788
depends on the time you spend eating

306
00:20:02.788 --> 00:20:06.488
It's for those who find it hard too

307
00:20:06.488 --> 00:20:08.638
But the funny thing is that

308
00:20:11.638 --> 00:20:16.589
in the stomach, digestive enzymes are

309
00:20:16.589 --> 00:20:21.539
not relased when chewing, so God gave us

310
00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:24.889
32 teeth, but He must have known that

311
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:27.639
we wouldn't chew, anticipating that

312
00:20:28.589 --> 00:20:30.639
we'd use the excuse of being busy

313
00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:32.939
But if we don't chew and just swallow

314
00:20:32.939 --> 00:20:35.989
the food goes down and ends up as waste

315
00:20:35.989 --> 00:20:39.139
So, God finally asks the pancras for help

316
00:20:39.139 --> 00:20:44.989
Being in a hurry and not chewing will

317
00:20:44.989 --> 00:20:51.139
end up with problems, so the pancreas

318
00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:53.539
So pancreas releases

319
00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:56.189
50% of the amylase digestive enzyme

320
00:20:56.189 --> 00:20:59.339
chewing; that's how we're able to live now

321
00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:02.039
By God's grace

322
00:21:04.089 --> 00:21:11.139
But people nowadays overwork the pancreas

323
00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:13.939
It's like an emergency organ where

324
00:21:13.939 --> 00:21:17.339
the teeth chew and trigger the

325
00:21:17.339 --> 00:21:18.889
digestive enzymes, it doesn't have to work

326
00:21:18.889 --> 00:21:23.139
But we end up pushing all the work onto it

327
00:21:23.139 --> 00:21:25.339
All the digestive enzymes are eventually

328
00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:27.339
released emergency-style from the pancreas

329
00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:30.389
It also releases insulin, which is

330
00:21:30.389 --> 00:21:32.639
the hormone that regulates blood sugar

331
00:21:32.639 --> 00:21:35.989
level when we eat something sweet

332
00:21:35.989 --> 00:21:38.539
insulin is like a taxi to transport sugar

333
00:21:41.689 --> 00:21:44.539
The pancreas also needs rest and sleep

334
00:21:44.539 --> 00:21:46.289
but sugar comes in at all hours

335
00:21:47.790 --> 00:21:50.390
So, the characteristic of people is that

336
00:21:50.390 --> 00:21:55.590
they make the pancreas work very hard

337
00:21:55.590 --> 00:21:59.440
So, if the food is properly digested

338
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:04.440
we eat according to God's design

339
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.350
the food becomes medicine

340
00:22:07.350 --> 00:22:12.290
But if not, it all turns into poison

341
00:22:12.690 --> 00:22:16.940
Personally, I know that

342
00:22:17.890 --> 00:22:20.490
many people are very interested

343
00:22:20.490 --> 00:22:22.790
even in what kind of food I eat

344
00:22:22.790 --> 00:22:26.840
I try to eat in simple moderation

345
00:22:26.840 --> 00:22:31.390
I strive to have a balanced diet mostly

346
00:22:31.390 --> 00:22:32.940
A balanced diet means consuming primary

347
00:22:32.940 --> 00:22:37.490
primary agricultural and marine products produced through natural farming

348
00:22:37.490 --> 00:22:39.590
natural farming; the commercially growns

349
00:22:39.590 --> 00:22:43.140
have less nutritional value

350
00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:47.290
I try to choose quality proteins from

351
00:22:47.290 --> 00:22:52.840
the natural agricultural products

352
00:22:52.840 --> 00:22:57.390
and I mainly recommend plant-based sources

353
00:22:57.390 --> 00:23:00.290
Animal protein isn't 
problematic but next time I'll explain

354
00:23:00.290 --> 00:23:05.790
the difference between 
plant-based and animal-based protein

355
00:23:05.790 --> 00:23:08.290
Whenever possible, I prefer plant-based

356
00:23:08.290 --> 00:23:14.440
For quality protein, 
I prefer white meat

357
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.791
A good example would be fish, especially

358
00:23:17.791 --> 00:23:22.891
lean varieties with less fat, and for fats

359
00:23:22.891 --> 00:23:26.341
focus on healthy sources like omega-3s

360
00:23:26.341 --> 00:23:28.741
perilla seeds are also excellent

361
00:23:28.741 --> 00:23:33.091
For good carbs, I recommend whole foods

362
00:23:33.091 --> 00:23:35.591
like whole wheat flour or brown rice

363
00:23:35.591 --> 00:23:37.591
After studying these three main nutrients

364
00:23:37.591 --> 00:23:41.791
I suggest vegetables and fruits as

365
00:23:41.791 --> 00:23:44.541
sources of minerals, vitamin, and fiber

366
00:23:44.541 --> 00:23:47.291
Cheonggukjang and kimchi for fermented

367
00:23:47.291 --> 00:23:49.891
Dried seaweeds or kelps for seaweeds

368
00:23:49.891 --> 00:23:54.241
Wild greens or local produce for seasonals

369
00:23:54.241 --> 00:23:59.541
But, be cautious with vegetable and fruits

370
00:24:00.541 --> 00:24:05.741
People who have abdominal 
obesity and a protruding lower belly

371
00:24:05.741 --> 00:24:08.891
often do a lot of exercises 
to try to flatten it

372
00:24:08.891 --> 00:24:14.541
they eat a lot of sweet fruits at night

373
00:24:16.291 --> 00:24:18.291
If you eat sweet fruits at night

374
00:24:18.291 --> 00:24:21.691
100% will go straight to your lower belly

375
00:24:21.691 --> 00:24:23.441
So, it's best to eat fruits during the day

376
00:24:23.441 --> 00:24:25.691
either in the morning

377
00:24:25.691 --> 00:24:29.841
or when you're active

378
00:24:31.091 --> 00:24:39.391
Some ask which is better: meat/plant-based

379
00:24:39.891 --> 00:24:42.641
and there's a lot of debate around whether

380
00:24:42.641 --> 00:24:44.691
eating meat is bad, or if plant-based

381
00:24:44.691 --> 00:24:49.441
like soy are good

382
00:24:50.442 --> 00:24:57.342
When we break down protein

383
00:24:57.342 --> 00:25:01.442
it forms amino acids in our body

384
00:25:01.442 --> 00:25:05.342
When carbs break down, they form glucose

385
00:25:05.342 --> 00:25:07.442
which becomes our energy source

386
00:25:07.442 --> 00:25:10.842
Protein breaks down, forming amino acids

387
00:25:10.842 --> 00:25:15.692
which becomes the building blocks for our

388
00:25:15.692 --> 00:25:19.642
body's tissue cells, amino acids

389
00:25:19.642 --> 00:25:24.192
There's essential and non-essential types

390
00:25:24.192 --> 00:25:28.242
There are 8 essential amino acids

391
00:25:28.242 --> 00:25:33.142
The difference between essential and

392
00:25:33.142 --> 00:25:37.092
non-essential amino acids is that

393
00:25:38.192 --> 00:25:45.592
essentials can't be produced by our body

394
00:25:46.492 --> 00:25:50.392
These 8 essential amino acids must be

395
00:25:50.392 --> 00:25:52.292
obtained through food and must be supplied

396
00:25:52.292 --> 00:25:56.342
to our body through food to be utilized

397
00:25:56.342 --> 00:25:59.642
Lacking just one of these amino acids can

398
00:25:59.642 --> 00:26:04.142
cause problems to our body

399
00:26:04.142 --> 00:26:08.192
Interestingly, animal-based protein (meat)

400
00:26:08.192 --> 00:26:13.092
contains both essential and non-essential

401
00:26:13.092 --> 00:26:16.192
That's why it's called complete proteins

402
00:26:16.192 --> 00:26:18.743
But plant-based proteins like beans

403
00:26:18.743 --> 00:26:21.593
are considered incomplete proteins

404
00:26:21.593 --> 00:26:24.493
meaning they lack

405
00:26:24.493 --> 00:26:27.543
one or two essential amino acids

406
00:26:27.543 --> 00:26:32.143
For example, beans are rich in lysine

407
00:26:32.143 --> 00:26:35.793
but lack methionine

408
00:26:35.793 --> 00:26:37.393
missing one essential amino acid

409
00:26:37.393 --> 00:26:41.743
Rice is low in lysine, rich in methionine

410
00:26:41.743 --> 00:26:44.343
Since both bean and rice are missing some

411
00:26:44.343 --> 00:26:47.893
just eating bean doesn't compare to

412
00:26:47.893 --> 00:26:52.043
animal-based protein, argued by some peope

413
00:26:52.043 --> 00:26:58.493
Then, you can mix beans and rice that

414
00:26:59.193 --> 00:27:02.593
provides all the essential amino acids

415
00:27:02.593 --> 00:27:08.693
So, if you're concerned about complete or

416
00:27:08.693 --> 00:27:10.443
incomplete proteins, eat rice with beans

417
00:27:10.443 --> 00:27:14.693
Beans and rice form a complete protein

418
00:27:14.693 --> 00:27:17.943
Moving forward, it's not necessary to eat

419
00:27:17.943 --> 00:27:19.543
animal protein just because it's

420
00:27:19.543 --> 00:27:23.893
you can easily create

421
00:27:23.893 --> 00:27:26.393
a complete protein by mixing bean protein

422
00:27:26.393 --> 00:27:31.543
with rice or grains to fill in any missing

423
00:27:31.543 --> 00:27:34.793
amino acids and supply essential acids

424
00:27:34.793 --> 00:27:35.843
Do you get it?

425
00:27:36.693 --> 00:27:39.993
Make sure you eat rice with beans

426
00:27:39.993 --> 00:27:42.643
If you mix some grains with the bean rice

427
00:27:42.643 --> 00:27:46.443
So, now you understand 
that the food we eat

428
00:27:47.293 --> 00:27:52.293
can turn into either medicine or poison

429
00:27:52.293 --> 00:27:53.944
can either be medicine or poison, right?

430
00:27:53.944 --> 00:27:58.694
So I'll end my lecture here and answer

431
00:27:58.694 --> 00:28:06.794
some questions you've asked so far

432
00:28:07.244 --> 00:28:12.694
I'm a man in my 40s. I sweat a lot usually

433
00:28:12.694 --> 00:28:16.844
but especially in the hot summer, I feel

434
00:28:16.844 --> 00:28:21.244
more quickly fatigued. I don't feel like

435
00:28:21.244 --> 00:28:25.494
any energy is restored even after I eat

436
00:28:25.494 --> 00:28:31.044
summer tonic foods. Any recommendations?

437
00:28:31.044 --> 00:28:33.744
When I read this kind of post, I think

438
00:28:35.394 --> 00:28:39.194
there are certain aspects of traditional

439
00:28:39.194 --> 00:28:43.244
Korean food that we must understand

440
00:28:43.244 --> 00:28:48.994
The characteristic of Korean summer foods

441
00:28:48.994 --> 00:28:55.094
is that they're high in fat and protein

442
00:28:55.744 --> 00:28:58.244
During summer, important people (fathers

443
00:28:58.244 --> 00:29:02.794
grandfathers) must eat the eel tail

444
00:29:02.794 --> 00:29:05.194
because the tail contains the most fat

445
00:29:06.494 --> 00:29:10.194
That was food eaten in the past when

446
00:29:10.194 --> 00:29:14.344
we couldn't afford much, especially when

447
00:29:14.344 --> 00:29:17.245
we had dry skin and rashes to cure them

448
00:29:17.245 --> 00:29:21.845
Korea is now experiencing excess nutrition

449
00:29:21.845 --> 00:29:23.845
This is why this person feels fatigued

450
00:29:23.845 --> 00:29:28.295
where it could be due to dehydration

451
00:29:28.295 --> 00:29:31.845
from sweating a lot

452
00:29:31.845 --> 00:29:37.645
rather than a problem with food

453
00:29:37.645 --> 00:29:40.195
It's important to continuously supply

454
00:29:40.195 --> 00:29:43.845
adequate water, and when sweating

455
00:29:43.845 --> 00:29:45.545
salt is lost

456
00:29:45.545 --> 00:29:47.445
so it's essential to

457
00:29:47.445 --> 00:29:51.095
consume salt as well

458
00:29:51.095 --> 00:29:56.245
Salt can be an issue when it's too bland

459
00:29:56.245 --> 00:29:58.695
Always keep an appropriate amount of salt

460
00:29:58.695 --> 00:30:03.495
So, I think this person should 
focus more on hydration

461
00:30:03.495 --> 00:30:06.945
rather than worrying too much 
about foods for replenishing energy

462
00:30:06.945 --> 00:30:16.095
eating what he enjoys and staying hydrated

463
00:30:17.245 --> 00:30:18.795
Second question

464
00:30:18.795 --> 00:30:23.895
My grandmother (over 80) struggles with

465
00:30:23.895 --> 00:30:28.295
struggles with digestion 
and often eats simple meals

466
00:30:28.295 --> 00:30:33.195
Ads claim these products ar

467
00:30:33.195 --> 00:30:38.595
balanced, but can she eat regularly?

468
00:30:38.595 --> 00:30:42.295
First, there's no issue from a nutritional

469
00:30:42.295 --> 00:30:47.095
standpoint, but it's completely normal for

470
00:30:47.095 --> 00:30:51.996
someone over 80 to struggle with digestion

471
00:30:51.996 --> 00:30:55.796
As we age, the amount of food we consume

472
00:30:55.796 --> 00:30:57.446
should decrease

473
00:30:58.096 --> 00:31:00.596
because our body produced fewer

474
00:31:00.596 --> 00:31:03.146
digestive fluids, so the amount of food

475
00:31:03.146 --> 00:31:07.596
we consume should decrease accordingly

476
00:31:07.596 --> 00:31:10.346
But if she is over eighty 
and still eating a lot of food

477
00:31:10.346 --> 00:31:15.096
yet complains of indigestion, 
what does that mean

478
00:31:15.096 --> 00:31:19.496
eating more food than her digestive fluids

479
00:31:19.496 --> 00:31:22.596
can handle because the elderly often

480
00:31:22.596 --> 00:31:24.796
often have the belief that 
eating a lot and feeling full

481
00:31:24.796 --> 00:31:30.196
 is necessary for health because 
they experienced hunger in the past

482
00:31:30.196 --> 00:31:34.796
However, as they age, 
reducing the amount of food

483
00:31:34.796 --> 00:31:37.996
digestion and prevent digestive issues

484
00:31:37.996 --> 00:31:41.696
Check the quantity of food being consumed

485
00:31:41.696 --> 00:31:48.496
Second, commercial convenience meals often

486
00:31:48.496 --> 00:31:53.746
have too much nutrition

487
00:31:53.746 --> 00:31:57.646
I don't recommend elderly people consume

488
00:31:57.646 --> 00:32:01.546
these concentrated products in long terms

489
00:32:01.546 --> 00:32:04.296
If they really need to eat such, try

490
00:32:04.296 --> 00:32:09.646
a small amount for about a week and reduce

491
00:32:09.646 --> 00:32:12.596
the amount gradually; consuming too much

492
00:32:12.596 --> 00:32:16.746
of such can cause side effects

493
00:32:16.746 --> 00:32:19.947
leading to digestive issues

494
00:32:19.947 --> 00:32:22.297
I suggest testing the small amounts first

495
00:32:22.297 --> 00:32:25.097
and reducing the food portions

496
00:32:25.097 --> 00:32:27.647
while also trying to chew more

497
00:32:27.647 --> 00:32:34.697
to improve digestion

498
00:32:35.697 --> 00:32:41.897
At schools and companies, 
meals are planned by nutritionists

499
00:32:41.897 --> 00:32:47.247
the menu planned by a nutrionist, but

500
00:32:47.247 --> 00:32:50.397
it's not easy to prepare meals at home

501
00:32:50.397 --> 00:32:54.647
while considering nutrients. What do I do?

502
00:32:55.497 --> 00:33:02.497
Nutritionists use computer programs to

503
00:33:02.497 --> 00:33:06.647
roughly calculate the nutritional value

504
00:33:06.647 --> 00:33:10.997
and calories of meals based on the food

505
00:33:10.997 --> 00:33:15.097
But it's hard to do so in households

506
00:33:15.097 --> 00:33:17.547
If they tried, everyone in the family

507
00:33:17.547 --> 00:33:22.397
would complain about the taste

508
00:33:22.397 --> 00:33:25.897
Nutritional value and calories are ignored

509
00:33:25.897 --> 00:33:33.397
In households, it's hard to create

510
00:33:33.997 --> 00:33:36.647
a balanced meal plan because sometimes

511
00:33:36.647 --> 00:33:39.547
they lack the knowledge

512
00:33:39.547 --> 00:33:42.247
The easiest and simplest method is to

513
00:33:44.347 --> 00:33:48.148
increase the variety of side dishes

514
00:33:48.148 --> 00:33:53.698
as much as possible

515
00:33:53.698 --> 00:33:59.898
while keeping the portions small

516
00:33:59.898 --> 00:34:05.398
Instead of making one or two dishes

517
00:34:05.398 --> 00:34:09.448
in large portions, make more small dishes

518
00:34:09.448 --> 00:34:14.348
and the likelihood of achieving a more

519
00:34:14.348 --> 00:34:19.498
balanced nutritional intake increases

520
00:34:20.398 --> 00:34:24.798
Due to the nutritional imbalance in the

521
00:34:24.798 --> 00:34:28.098
the nutritional balance of the current

522
00:34:28.098 --> 00:34:31.698
primary agricultural products

523
00:34:31.698 --> 00:34:34.848
has been disrupted

524
00:34:34.848 --> 00:34:43.248
if a you feels the meals 
are nutritionally lacking

525
00:34:43.248 --> 00:34:47.098
if a you feels the meals 
are nutritionally lacking

526
00:34:47.098 --> 00:34:49.548
I sometimes recommend

527
00:34:49.548 --> 00:34:56.848
such as 3-6 months

528
00:34:56.848 --> 00:35:01.348
because each household may not be able to

529
00:35:01.348 --> 00:35:03.448
consume a variety of other food

530
00:35:03.448 --> 00:35:09.498
In such cases, I recommend taking

531
00:35:09.498 --> 00:35:13.198
a multivitamin for 3-6 months at a time

532
00:35:13.848 --> 00:35:18.448
I'll end my lecture on nutrients here

533
00:35:18.448 --> 00:35:21.749
Thank you
