SHINee Choi Min-ho was advised by a doctor to refrain from excessive exercise.
On the 29th, a video titled "Iyoo: Why Min-ho is good at exercising. We examined it through the eight constitutions." was uploaded to Choi Min-ho's YouTube channel.
That day Choi Min-ho visited a Korean medicine clinic to take an eight-constitution test. He said, "Today I plan to film about my body and everyone's health, and I came to the field of Korean medicine. I will have my constitution examined to see what my body is like from the perspective of Korean medicine. I have never done this before, so I don't know exactly what the test is or how it proceeds, but today I will check my condition and see what constitution I have."
Afterward, Choi Min-ho underwent simple medical interviews and tests including blood sampling, and the doctor, after seeing the results, asked, "Did you do extremely intense exercise within the past week?" Choi Min-ho said, "I exercised intensely every day during the week," and the doctor revealed, "One of the liver values is high. This rises when muscles are heavily used because muscle breakdown causes high values. It's very high," which surprised viewers.
The doctor explained, "The AST value among the liver values came out high. This AST value rises when muscle is broken down. So if you exercise too excessively, or professional athletes often come in, if they compete within a week, this happens. From what I see, every day seems a bit like a competition. Because the initial test was a liver test, I rechecked it with the precision equipment used in a large hospital, and it came out the same."
He continued, "I checked the blood pressure test done while lying down and the arteriosclerosis index came out at 7.7. This is also a bit worse than I expected. Excessive exercise can cause this, but we will need to look into it more."
However, the quality of his muscles is very good. Choi Min-ho asked, "So my muscles are good but I exercised too much?" and the doctor urged, "Yes. So it would be good to be a bit careful with exercise."
The doctor stressed, "Min-ho's blood test suggests that muscle breakdown indicators are high, and when I feel his pulse it is high tension. This needs to be lowered. His brakes may be broken. Revive the brakes, take more rest, eat good food, and of course maintain activity, but let go a little of what you can; think of this as a lifelong regulation method."
