Exercise can help maintain health and prevent disease, but exercise that does not suit your health status and goals can do more harm than good.

Fluid Intake and Health
#fluid intake, #water, #empty stomach, #bowel movement, #dehydration, #health drinks, #digestion
The body keeps its fluid balance by triggering thirst when fluid is low and excreting excess fluid in the urine. Rather than following a fixed standard, the basic principle is to drink enough when you feel thirsty. Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning can replace fluid used up overnight and may help bowel movement.2026-06-26

Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve inside the eye is gradually damaged by high intraocular pressure or other factors, causing the visual field to narrow progressively. There are almost no symptoms in the early stage, so detection can be delayed, and rather than a cure, lifelong consistent management is important. Detecting it early through regular checkups and starting treatment is the best way to help prevent blindness.2026-06-26

Extreme heat raises the risk of angina, heart attack, and cardiac arrest by increasing heart rate, promoting blood clotting, and placing added strain on the heart. Older adults age 65 and older, people with cardiovascular disease, and those with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes need to be especially careful. On days when a heat wave warning is issued, please stay active indoors for safety.2026-06-26

During holidays, there are many activities that strain the joints, such as long-distance travel, long hours of cooking, and carrying heavy loads. In addition, arthritis symptoms can worsen in transitional seasons with large daily temperature swings and changes in air pressure. Avoid overexerting yourself with holiday work, and protect your joints with stretching, warm compresses, and appropriate exercise.2026-06-26

Hypertension and Diet Management
#hypertension, #blood pressure, #blood pressure medication, #sodium, #hyperlipidemia, #diabetes mellitus, #heart
Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure stays persistently high. Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of the blood vessels when the heart pumps out blood. Hypertension often causes no symptoms, so it is also called the "silent killer." If left untreated, it can lead to complications in the heart, brain, and kidneys, so evaluation by a medical specialist and steady management are needed.2026-06-26

Meniere's disease is a condition in which excess endolymph builds up in the inner ear, raising the pressure and causing repeated episodes of dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. The inner ear is the innermost part of the ear and consists of the cochlea, which is responsible for hearing, and the vestibular organ, which is responsible for balance. If left untreated, hearing and vestibular function may worsen permanently. Please consult an otolaryngology (ENT) specialist.2026-06-26
