Our subscribers requested that the chef get a health checkup. It's because our subscribers are worried about me.

Yoon reported experiencing frequent burping, gas, and indigestion, attributing some of it to his eating habits. A gastroscopy confirmed acid reflux esophagitis, with medical staff suggesting that overeating, rapid eating, and late-night snacks could be contributing factors. During a colonoscopy, a polyp was discovered and removed. Doctors noted its significant size and the potential risk of it growing and developing into cancer over time, emphasizing the necessity of its removal.

If you leave it for 5 or 10 years, the size will increase and it can become cancer, so it must be removed.

The abdominal ultrasound indicated a fatty liver, and blood tests showed a cholesterol level of 245, with high levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. While not severely hypertensive, medical professionals advised that weight management alone could significantly lower his blood pressure. Yoon expressed relief that no signs of diabetes were detected, a condition he feared most. He humorously remarked on his long-term efforts to gain weight, but when advised to reduce his food intake, he responded with dismay, stating, "That's not allowed. It's too sad. The words 'reduce the amount' are depressing." He vowed to eat more vegetables.

You are not severely hypertensive, but you weigh more than expected. If you manage your weight, your blood pressure can sufficiently decrease.
