SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – A Korean physician, Dr. Ahan, has spent five decades meticulously studying the effects of diet, exercise, and conventional herbal decoctions on his own body, developing an integrated approach too diabetes management now detailed in his new book, “100 Years of Happiness.” While relying on conventional medications like oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin, Dr. Ahan’s research focuses on personalized nutrition and traditional Korean medicine, offering a holistic viewpoint on chronic disease treatment.Dr. Ahan’s decades-long self-experimentation-where every ingredient, portion, and combination of his daily meals is therapeutically purposeful-aims to provide enduring and human alternatives for managing diabetes. His work builds upon the principles of the Sasang Constitution,a traditional Korean classification system used to tailor treatments to individual body types. The book shares his daily recipe for medicinal herbs, taken without interruption for 50 years, and methods for reducing blood sugar levels based on this constitutional typing.
Coming from a family of third-generation traditional doctors, Dr. Ahan instilled a similar vocation in his son and grandson, emphasizing education through example and a focus on health. His approach not only inspires patients with diabetes but also offers a potential model for healthcare professionals seeking more comprehensive and individualized treatment options.
