Q I work near Dong-incheon and want to receive treatment. Is there practical lifestyle management for busy office workers?
A Chewing each meal slowly, reducing late-night snacks and processed foods, consistently eating fermented foods (kimchi, doenjang), and securing 7 hours of sleep are key. Even if you cannot follow everything perfectly, combining it with treatment still shows results.
Detailed Answer
Chewing well reduces the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and allows digestive enzymes to work properly, preventing intestinal mucosal damage. Traditional fermented foods like kimchi and doenjang supply beneficial bacteria to improve the gut microbiota. Sleep deprivation raises cortisol and increases intestinal mucosal permeability, making sleep management important as well.
