책 속으로

Today, we live under the constant threat of countless diseases. Yet despite the remarkable advances of modern medicine, the most complete treatment ultimately leads us back to one timeless truth: prevention. This book embodies precisely that “eldest brother’s medicine”—practical wisdom for keeping disease at bay and managing one’s health in everyday life.

“I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who seeks not merely to live longer, but to live with vitality and dignity.”

Caring for patients as an internist taught me two important lessons. First, modern medicine has clear limits. Much of what we do alleviates symptoms, but it cannot undo serious disease once it has progressed. Second, the best treatment is prevention. Although medicine cannot cure many major illnesses once they are firmly established, the hopeful reality is that many diseases can be prevented. In fact, a large proportion of the conditions that burden society arise from modifiable lifestyle factors.

For example, someone whose father collapsed from a heart attack may worry whenever chest discomfort occurs. Watching a loved one suffer from illness can be traumatic and may lead to persistent anxiety about one’s own health.
When I encounter individuals with such concerns, I say this: “Your parents’ generation was the one struck by disease. Your generation is the one that can prevent it. If you manage dyslipidemia and maintain healthy habits, that kind of heart attack cannot happen to you.”

According to recent statistics, life expectancy in Korea was 83.7 years in 2024, while healthy life expectancy was only 65.5 years. This means that although people are living longer than ever, they spend an average of about 18 years living with illness. A similar pattern is observed in many other countries.
If life expectancy continues to extend toward 100 years while healthy life expectancy does not increase accordingly, it is conceivable that people could spend as many as 30 years living with disease.

Rather than offering vague advice to “manage your lifestyle better,” I intend to present quantitative, evidence-based approaches grounded in research.
Is there evidence that plant-based protein is truly better?
The Paleo diet and colorectal cancer—should we be concerned?
Same pork belly—so why was I the one who developed atherosclerosis?
The cardiovascular benefits of the Mediterranean diet
“Dementia runs in my family. Should I get genetic testing?”
Can sleeping pills increase the risk of dementia?
Could shingles vaccination help prevent dementia?
What kind of exercise helps support immunity?
Can a supplement cause cancer?
Vitamins B6, B9, and B12: cancer prevention when young, but cancer promotion after diagnosis?
The deeper reason meditation may have healing effects

As we have seen throughout this book, countless medical studies have already been conducted. Research has explored how much carbohydrate and meat we should eat, how much fruit and vegetables are beneficial, what criteria we should use when choosing cooking oils, how many hours we should sleep, and how exercise should be timed and balanced with adequate rest and recovery. These findings may seem trivial at first glance, but they are important discoveries—ones that can serve as a compass for managing our daily habits in healthier, more measurable ways. What is unfortunate, however, is that much of this practical knowledge remains hidden from the general public, locked away in academic databases.

This book was written through a careful process of verifying the medical accuracy of each sentence while reviewing more than 600 research papers.

The New Health Generation
Turning Medical Evidence into Everyday Health Decisions
Every day, we're surrounded by health advice.
Eat less carbohydrate. Eat more protein. Take vitamin D. Avoid seed oils. Try intermittent fasting. Stop taking statins. Start taking NMN.
Some advice is supported by strong scientific evidence. Some are based on weak evidence. Some are simply wrong.
So how do you know what to trust?
The New Health Generation was written to answer that question.
Drawing on more than 600 medical studies, internist Dr. Sooyeon Oh translates complex medical research into clear, practical guidance that readers can apply in everyday life. Rather than telling you simply what to do, she explains why the evidence supports it, when it applies, and how to put it into practice.
Because better health begins with better decisions.

Modern medicine helps us live longer—but not necessarily healthier.
Life expectancy continues to increase around the world, yet millions of people spend the final decades of life living with diabetes, heart disease, dementia, cancer, and other chronic illnesses.
The greatest challenge today is no longer extending lifespan.
It is extending healthspan—the years we remain healthy, independent, and active.
Fortunately, many of the diseases we fear most are influenced by lifestyle choices that research has already identified. The problem is not a lack of scientific knowledge.
The problem is that most of this knowledge remains hidden in medical journals or is buried beneath an overwhelming amount of conflicting health information.
This book bridges that gap.

Why you can trust this book
Unlike many health books built around personal opinions or individual clinical experience, The New Health Generation is grounded in evidence from more than 600 peer-reviewed medical studies.
Every recommendation has been compared, evaluated, and interpreted using the principles of critical appraisal, the evidence-based methodology physicians use to judge the quality and reliability of medical research.
The result is not a collection of health tips, but a practical guide built on carefully evaluated scientific evidence.

Inside this book, you'll discover:
* How to evaluate today's most popular health advice using scientific evidence rather than trends or social media.
* How diet, sleep, exercise, supplements, medications, health screening, and stress management work together—not as isolated habits, but as one integrated strategy for preventing chronic disease.
* Why the Mediterranean diet consistently ranks among the healthiest dietary patterns—and exactly how to apply the clinical trial protocols to your own meals.
* What current research says about statins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, NMN, melatonin, and other widely discussed supplements and medications.
* How sleep influences brain health and immune function, and dementia risk.
* How to interpret conflicting information about vitamins, cancer screening, cholesterol, and popular diets without relying on headlines or internet myths.
* Practical guidance supported by numbers—not vague advice—including recommended food quantities, protein intake, sleep duration, vitamin D levels, and much more.

More than information—an evidence-based way of thinking
Health advice often sounds simple:
“Eat more vegetables.”
“Exercise regularly.”
“Sleep well.”
But real medicine is rarely that simple.
Should the same advice apply to everyone?
When does a supplement help—and when might it become harmful?
Can the same vitamin help prevent cancer in one situation but increase risk in another?
Why might a diet improve blood sugar while still raising concerns for long-term cardiovascular health?
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers, The New Health Generation teaches readers how to understand medical evidence in context.
Instead of asking you to accept expert opinion, it helps you understand why recommendations differ and how evidence should be interpreted.

Medical research translated into everyday life
Scientific studies often tell us what works.
They rarely tell us how to make it work in everyday life.
This book does.
Clinical trials may recommend four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil per day, 30 grams of nuts, specific amounts of vegetables and legumes, or carefully defined protein targets.
Rather than leaving those numbers inside research papers, The New Health Generation demonstrates how they can realistically fit into everyday meals and daily routines.
The same practical approach is applied throughout the book—from choosing cooking oils and protein sources to understanding sleep, supplements, preventive screening, and healthy aging.

Written by a physician who believes in prevention before disease begins.
As an internist, Dr. Sooyeon Oh reached a simple but powerful conclusion:
Modern medicine can treat many diseases, but it cannot always cure them completely. That is why prevention—before disease begins—is our best defense.
This philosophy shapes every page of the book.
Rather than waiting until disease appears, readers learn how today’s everyday choices influence tomorrow’s health.

This book is for readers who want more than health tips.
It is for readers who want to understand the evidence behind those tips.
Whether you’re trying to reduce your risk of chronic disease, make sense of conflicting health advice, or simply make more confident decisions about your long-term health, The New Health Generation offers an evidence-based roadmap grounded in science and designed for real life.
Because living longer is only part of the goal.
Living healthier is what truly matters.
