Young people look at ***, 4 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.808 while older people look at ***. 5 00:00:08.808 --> 00:00:12.339 When speaking from a young person's perspective, *** is essential! 6 00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:16.601 (Speechless) PD: Dr.Lee, now that I'm in my 30s, I feel so tired 7 00:00:16.601 --> 00:00:18.311 and it seems like my face is sagging. 8 00:00:18.311 --> 00:00:19.543 Isn't this too much? 9 00:00:19.544 --> 00:00:20.345 Right in front of me?! 10 00:00:20.346 --> 00:00:21.716 (Oh, come on) 11 00:00:21.717 --> 00:00:23.096 Just because you've entered your 30s... 12 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.367 (Angry) I can't even speak, I'm so frustrated. 13 00:00:25.367 --> 00:00:26.507 Why do humans age... 14 00:00:26.508 --> 00:00:27.679 Can't we stop aging? 15 00:00:27.681 --> 00:00:29.378 You can stop aging! 16 00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:31.537 How great would it be if I could say that? 17 00:00:31.538 --> 00:00:33.310 I would love to know the answer too. 18 00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:34.889 While we can't completely stop aging, 19 00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:37.316 can't we at least slow it down? 20 00:00:37.336 --> 00:00:40.119 (Dr. Lee, Jfeel Clinic) Hello, I'm Dr. Lee, pursuing the most beautiful aesthetic. 21 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:41.914 Aging. 22 00:00:41.915 --> 00:00:44.448 The word itself carries weight. 23 00:00:44.448 --> 00:00:46.673 So, what is aging? 24 00:00:46.905 --> 00:00:52.340 It is the process in which the body and mind change over time, and functions decline. 25 00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.042 It’s not just about external appearance, 26 00:00:55.042 --> 00:00:57.002 it also involves the gradual deterioration of 27 00:00:57.003 --> 00:00:58.487 cells, tissues, organs, 28 00:00:58.487 --> 00:01:00.320 and physiological functions. 29 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:01.959 So, when does aging start? 30 00:01:01.959 --> 00:01:04.576 (Aging, how can we delay it?) And how can we slow it down? 31 00:01:04.576 --> 00:01:09.601 We often think that we age gradually and consistently each year 32 00:01:09.601 --> 00:01:11.382 but that’s actually not the case. 33 00:01:11.382 --> 00:01:12.895 A new study on human aging 34 00:01:12.896 --> 00:01:14.878 has been proposed 35 00:01:14.886 --> 00:01:16.639 which caused a huge stir. 36 00:01:16.639 --> 00:01:19.226 It suggests that rather than aging at a consistent, 37 00:01:19.226 --> 00:01:22.239 and gradual pace every year, 38 00:01:22.493 --> 00:01:25.760 humans experience three significant aging jumps. 39 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:31.516 Researchers analyzed plasma from the blood of 4,263 people aged 18 to 95 40 00:01:31.516 --> 00:01:33.805 and discovered that the levels of certain proteins 41 00:01:33.805 --> 00:01:36.392 noticeably increased with aging. 42 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.075 The most striking periods of rapid change 43 00:01:39.076 --> 00:01:43.507 occur at 34, 60, and 78 years old. 44 00:01:43.507 --> 00:01:49.800 So, does that mean we only need to be cautious at 34, 60, and 78? 45 00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:54.800 Honestly, I think it's more likely that aging accumulates over time and then manifests suddenly at those ages. 46 00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:57.239 Of course, the progression of aging varies from person to person. 47 00:01:57.265 --> 00:02:02.599 But generally, aging is considered to begin in the late 20s to early 30s. 48 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.722 Aging is caused by various biological factors 49 00:02:05.723 --> 00:02:07.979 interacting in complex ways. 50 00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:10.880 One of these is cellular and genetic factors. 51 00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:14.320 Shortening telomeres, damage to DNA, and so on. 52 00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:16.611 And it accumulates damage to your body. 53 00:02:16.611 --> 00:02:17.952 It's called active oxygen these days. 54 00:02:17.952 --> 00:02:19.999 Or protein modification 55 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.520 and the mitochondrial function in the cell decreases. 56 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.566 As time goes by, 57 00:02:24.567 --> 00:02:27.018 our body uses energy inefficiently. 58 00:02:27.019 --> 00:02:30.864 And environmental factors and lifestyle may be the cause. 59 00:02:30.864 --> 00:02:32.527 It's complicated, but 60 00:02:32.527 --> 00:02:33.858 as we get older, 61 00:02:33.858 --> 00:02:35.583 it means that aging comes with it. 62 00:02:35.583 --> 00:02:37.701 The factors that affect the rate of aging are 63 00:02:37.702 --> 00:02:40.377 20 to 30% of genetic factors. 64 00:02:40.401 --> 00:02:42.960 Everything else depends on the lifestyle. 65 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.714 Exercise, nutrition, 66 00:02:44.715 --> 00:02:46.133 alcohol, cigarettes, UV rays, 67 00:02:46.136 --> 00:02:49.820 stress, and sleep is also an issue these days. 68 00:02:49.820 --> 00:02:51.170 If that's the case, 69 00:02:51.171 --> 00:02:53.779 is there any way to slow down the aging rate? 70 00:02:53.779 --> 00:02:55.596 It's helpful to eat antioxidant food, 71 00:02:55.597 --> 00:02:56.874 (Steady work out) work out consistently, 72 00:02:56.874 --> 00:02:59.039 (Enough sleep) sleep for 7 to 9 hours, 73 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:00.766 (Relieving stress) reduce stress, 74 00:03:00.766 --> 00:03:03.901 and maintain healthy relationships. 75 00:03:03.901 --> 00:03:08.664 After all, ways to slow down aging is in line with how to live a healthy life. 76 00:03:08.664 --> 00:03:09.898 Dr.Lee, what do you think 77 00:03:09.899 --> 00:03:11.705 is the most important part? 78 00:03:11.722 --> 00:03:13.714 I think it's sleeping. 79 00:03:13.717 --> 00:03:17.013 Fortunately, I look younger than my actual age. 80 00:03:17.017 --> 00:03:18.670 I sleep a lot. 81 00:03:18.670 --> 00:03:21.567 I always sleep for more than 7 hours. 82 00:03:21.567 --> 00:03:23.155 (The secret of Dr.Lee to being young is sleeping) I usually sleep for 9 hours. 83 00:03:23.161 --> 00:03:26.247 While we sleep, we don't get stressed out, 84 00:03:26.247 --> 00:03:27.797 we don't get any UV rays, either. 85 00:03:27.798 --> 00:03:29.992 If you sleep a lot, you'll have less time to drink, 86 00:03:29.992 --> 00:03:31.914 less time to smoke. 87 00:03:31.914 --> 00:03:33.212 How good is that? 88 00:03:33.212 --> 00:03:34.654 If there's a disadvantage, 89 00:03:34.655 --> 00:03:35.622 since I sleep a lot 90 00:03:35.622 --> 00:03:37.111 I don't have time to work out. 91 00:03:37.111 --> 00:03:39.868 I'm running around in the hospital 92 00:03:39.868 --> 00:03:41.809 to meet you instead of working out. 93 00:03:41.843 --> 00:03:43.912 What about things you think that fastens aging, if we don't do it? 94 00:03:43.912 --> 00:03:46.824 First of all, our definition of 95 00:03:46.825 --> 00:03:47.988 aging is different. 96 00:03:47.988 --> 00:03:50.219 (What is the standard for being old!?) Young people look at appearance, 97 00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:52.479 while older people look at cognitive abilities. 98 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.240 (If you're young, sunscreen) When speaking from a young person's perspective, 99 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.254 sunscreen is essential! 100 00:03:57.254 --> 00:03:59.016 If you don't use sunscreen, 101 00:03:59.016 --> 00:04:01.945 at some point, your skin suddenly ages drastically due to photoaging. 102 00:04:01.945 --> 00:04:03.480 In case of elderlies, 103 00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:04.823 when it comes to cognitive function, 104 00:04:04.824 --> 00:04:08.711 I recommend never stopping the challenge of learning new things. 105 00:04:08.711 --> 00:04:10.898 People say that exercising regularly helps you stay young. 106 00:04:10.898 --> 00:04:12.919 But if you see someone who exercises excessively, 107 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:13.960 they actually show signs of aging. 108 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.276 Excessive exercise that doesn't suit your body 109 00:04:16.276 --> 00:04:18.393 only causes joint pain and has no real benefits. 110 00:04:18.396 --> 00:04:20.602 Adequate exercise is ideal, 111 00:04:20.602 --> 00:04:22.128 but that’s always the tricky part. 112 00:04:22.128 --> 00:04:23.808 Adequate food intake, 113 00:04:23.808 --> 00:04:25.073 adequate exercise, 114 00:04:25.073 --> 00:04:26.160 and adequate sleep. 115 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:26.799 People always talk about these things. 116 00:04:26.799 --> 00:04:29.600 (Adequte differently from each person) But the definition of "adequate" varies greatly from people to people. 117 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.871 In other words, no one really knows the exact answer. 118 00:04:31.871 --> 00:04:34.136 If someone feels completely refreshed after just five hours of sleep, 119 00:04:34.136 --> 00:04:36.320 then five might be the right amount for them. 120 00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:39.284 (Point is to find what works best for your own body) I think it is important to find what works best for you. 121 00:04:40.354 --> 00:04:42.708 (Shh!
