What does “pre-symptomatic” mean? How should we think about countermeasures against the increasing number of “pre-symptoms” in the future?
In a nutshell, “Premature aging” means “not yet sick”.
The Japanese government is running a campaign to achieve pre-symptomatic state by the year 2020. But in fact, what the government can control are things like doctors and medicines prescribed by doctors.
What does this mean? It means that you are treated only when you become ill. The system is designed so that doctors can treat you and health insurance can be used.
The Movement to Achieve “Premature aging”
It is an important job for doctors to create a state of “Premature aging” (pre-symptomatic state), which does not lead to disease, but as a job, it is not paid for by the government.
Therefore, if you go to your local hospital and ask, “Doctor, what should I do to make myself not sick?”, there is no answer to that question. In other words, medicines that can be used for the unwell are not approved by the health insurance.
Therefore, there are several factors (elements) that can be used to achieve pre-symptomatic state, but you have to think about them on your own. Naturally, you will have to bear the cost of these factors by yourself.
Factors to achieve “Premature aging”
The following is a list of possible factors to achieve “Premature aging”.
1: Anti-diabetes
Diabetes is one of the major problems facing Japanese people today. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) estimates that 20 million people have diabetes, including pre-diabetics, but in fact 40 million people are considered to have diabetes or pre-diabetes. Once a person has diabetes, it is very difficult to cure it completely, and it is a condition that requires continuous treatment.
Therefore, in order to prevent diabetes or prevent it from getting any worse, you need to lower your blood sugar level by limiting carbohydrates.
2: Meals
There are some vegetables that are said to prevent various diseases, so it is very important to eat healthy food by consuming such vegetables.
3: Exercise
If you don’t move your body, it will become less and less mobile.
When you move your body or do light exercise, your oxidative stress goes up a little, but your antioxidant power, which is the power to suppress oxidative stress, also goes up, which is a very positive situation for your body.
The first thing that you can do right away is to eat and exercise.
4: Stop the things that cause disease
The first and biggest cause is smoking. Then there is a lot of drinking. If you know what you need to limit, it will be relatively easy to stop.
5: Health supplements and dietary supplements
Finally, more and more people are taking effective health supplements and dietary supplements in order to be proactive and healthy.
However, please note that 99.9% of the supplements on the market do not have any evidence of effectiveness or efficacy.
When taking dietary supplements or supplements to maintain good health, do not simply believe in advertising or word of mouth. Is there any evidence to support it? When taking dietary supplements or supplements for health maintenance, it is important to choose dietary supplements or supplements that have medical evidence to back them up.
