SBS knowledge and health variety show "Three perspectives" reveals the truth about "brain cells," cells that are formed at birth and accompany us for life, and the energy secrets that reverse the clock of aging.
Airing at 8:35 a.m. on Sunday the 8th, SBS "Three perspectives" digs into the secrets of "cellular rejuvenation," which distances us from aging and disease, from three perspectives: history, science and medicine, with MC Kim Seok-hoon and So Seul-ji, science writer Kwak Jae-sik, docent Rhee Chang-yong, gastroenterologist Kim Bo-min and family medicine specialist Seo Myung-won.
Cells, the smallest units that make up our bodies, are mostly replaced with new ones over time, but brain cells are different. Made at birth, they must be used almost unchanged for a lifetime. The brain, an irreplaceable organ, is the body's control tower for thinking, movement and emotion regulation. The problem is that the brain cells that operate in this precious brain become increasingly occupied by "zombie cells" as they age.
MC Kim Seok-hoon comes face to face with the reality of zombie cells while conducting experiments prepared in the studio that day. Seeing the various diseases caused by zombie cells, he expresses candid anxiety about aging, saying, "Lately my memory and stamina aren't what they used to be. I definitely feel my body has changed."
Gastroenterologist Kim Bo-min warns, "If your body isn't what it used to be, it's already evidence that zombie cells have invaded your organs and brain." She adds that "to protect brain cells from zombie cells and allow new cells to function properly, a cellular energy supply environment is needed," and notes that supplementing NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), which is related to cellular energy metabolism, is one method.
Family medicine specialist Seo Myung-won emphasizes, "The starting point of rejuvenation is not appearance but the state of the cells," adding, "Attending to the small signals the body sends and replenishing cellular energy can change the direction of aging."
Increasing age-related fat, easy fatigue and the changed skin in the mirror — all these changes are not unrelated to decreased brain cell energy. In an era when good food and exercise alone are not enough, everything about "cellular energy management," which determines the fate of health and youth, will be revealed on episode 33 of SBS "Three perspectives" at 8:35 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8.
