On March 1, SBS 'New Beginning of Life 2' addresses the top disease that adults over 65 fear the most, the risk of dementia.
The 25th guest on 'New Beginning of Life 2', 57-year-old Lee Min-jae, captured the attention of the MCs from the first impression and sparked curiosity as to what story brought her here. Her father has been bedridden for over ten years due to diabetes complications.
Additionally, Lee Min-jae's mother, who refers to the celebrities on TV as her daughter, is in a state of dementia. Lee Min-jae's mother exhibits severe dementia symptoms such as 'cooking mixed soup' and 'hiding dirty diapers.' Upon hearing about the story that she had been caring for her father for over ten years, MC Lee Hyun noted, she was curious about the reasons her mother developed Alzheimer's disease. Specialists cited stress, vascular diseases, and finally, a lack of phosphatidylserine as reasons for her mother's Alzheimer's disease.
Phosphatidylserine is a key component that protects brain cells and decreases with age. A deficiency in phosphatidylserine can lead to a reduction in brain volume and potentially result in Alzheimer's disease.
Meanwhile, the broadcast on this day will reveal interesting history regarding Alzheimer's disease that has affected Lee Min-jae's mother. Upon hearing the story, MC Lee Hyun expressed surprise at the long history of Alzheimer's disease, stating, 'There are many diseases, but among them, I do not want to suffer from dementia.' Detailed stories about Alzheimer's disease, which began with the adultery case of a couple in Germany in 1901, can be confirmed through the broadcast.
In the past, Lee Min-jae's mother exhibited severe dementia symptoms. Now her cognitive abilities have improved to the extent that she can assist those who are physically uncomfortable and can manage daily activities independently. The secret to how Lee Min-jae's mother was able to overcome Alzheimer's disease can be confirmed through the SBS healing health talk show 'New Beginning of Life 2,' airing at 7:10 a.m. on Saturday, March 1.
