제 7 호 Attitude of Pet Owners

Kicker: LIFE (PETS) Attitude of Pet Owners The Necessity of Petiquette By Yoo-Jung Kim, Reporter kyjmimi121@naver.com Spitz, who was walking in Eunpyeong-gu, was bitten by a Rottweiler recently. Spitz is known to have lived with his pet owner for 11 years. The Rottweiler was found not to have worn a muzzle at the time of the accident, which angered many people. The Rottweiler species are a kind of dog that is famous for being required to wear a muzzle. However, the incident occurred because the owner did not keep the Petiquette. I will be alert about this incident and find out about pet tickets and the attitude of the owners who live with pets. <Pet ticket> Petiquette means the courtesy you must observe when you are with your pet in public. First, put a leash on the dog. It is necessary for dogs and people to take a walk together. Even when a dog is aggressive, dogs can be sanctioned with this pet ticket. Second, put a muzzle on the dog. This is not a pet ticket for every dog. Especially, it is required for species that are aggressive. The above-mentioned Spitz incident was also caused by failure to keep this second pet ticket. Petiquette is trivial but very important. Third, pack bowel bags for dog poop. The bowel bags are needed when pets are walking because their bowel movements become more active. In addition, you have to clean up well because it can cause damage to other people. The last act is to be considerate of people who are afraid of pets. This is the most important. Our companion animal is our family. Other people can see it as an animal, not a family member. When a pet approaches, it can be scared or disliked. Therefore, the owners should take good care of it. If we follow these pet tickets, people who don't raise pets can support pet tickets and live well. Petiquette is not only for people who live with their pets. It is also necessary for people who do not live with their pets. First, do not touch the other family's dog. Dogs that live with people can be family's babies and younger siblings. Touching a dog without consent is like touching their family. If you touch a dog without consent, it can be aggressive and strange. Even, the dog can bite you. This behavior happens a lot by people who don't have pets. Do not scream a second time. As much as you are surprised, the dog may be surprised. If you scream, the dog can get excited and make you more scared. Please pass quietly with consideration. ▶ Dog with muzzle <Attitude for pet owners > The most important thing as a pet owner is to keep the pet ticket well. It is the pet owner who can popularize the pet ticket. Of course, pet owners' attitude is not the only thing that matters. Social efforts are also needed. The number of people living with pets is increasing, but there is a lack of laws or social systems for them. Accidents involving dogs continue to occur. Only when personal efforts and social systems develop, Petiquette can be widely practiced. From a personal point of view, we need to take good care of each other's pets and live by keeping Petiquette with them. It is necessary to promote pet tickets socially and to overhaul various pet-related laws and systems. In particular, the attitude of the Rottweiler owner shocked people about the accident. He killed another person's precious companion animal and escaped without apologizing. However, there is no social law and system to punish the owner. This kind of reality is taken personally and socially as a sign that society is less prepared to live with pets. Therefore, we should work together to create a society where pet owners, non-owners, and pets can live well. ▶Taking a walk with Petiquette In the process, pet owners need to keep their pet tickets and try harder. Will the day come when we can live well with the laws and institutions of pets? In the future, I hope that there will be a society where pets and society can coexist well with each other and there will be no terrible accidents related to pets again.

제 6 호 The Best Hobbies at Sweet Home

Kicker: LIFE (HOBBIES) The Best Hobbies at Sweet Home Split the Individual and Family By Yoo-Jung Kim, Reporter kyjmimi121@naver.com Nowadays, our country is conducting the social distancing campaign. I'd predict that Sangmyung University students also spend more time at home. Are you taking an online lecture these days? Studying is important, but there are too many things you can do at home. I will tell you some fun activities you can do at home except for listening to online lectures. ▶ Poster of social distancing campaign and COVID-19 prevention rules #1 For individual <Growing lettuce> I want to recommend growing lettuce and making various syrups for tea as hobbies that individuals can do at home. For growing lettuce, you have to prepare the soil, lettuce seedling, water, and space for planting. You can plant lettuce seedling on the prepared space that is full of soil. you should just water the lettuce seedling two or three times a week. This lettuce is easy to grow and has the characteristic of growing fast. Especially, with this hobby you can feel it is fun to grow lettuce. Therefore, I would like to recommend you cultivate lettuce and eat your own crops that you grow. In addition to lettuce, various crops can be planted in the soil, so you can buy various seedlings and plant them. Why do not you water the lettuce before and after the online lecture and feel small happiness? ▶ Image of lettuce seedlings planted in the soil and grown <Making Various Syrups for Tea> You can choose the fruit you want and make syrup. Next, you can cut the fruit of your choice, mix it with sugar to complete the fruit syrup. You can use this syrup to make fruit syrup ade or fruit juice when you take online classes or relax. This fruit syrup ade is good for health and tastes good. It can use a variety of fruits such as strawberries, limes, and lemons, and has many healthy ingredients such as vitamin C. While you are participating in the social distancing campaign, you can feel like you have a home cafe at home. In addition, you can save money if you make fruit syrup rather than buying it at a cafe. #2 For being together <Playing Boardgames> I expect that most people have more time at home, and there is also more time to communicate with their families than before. If you want to communicate more actively or if you are not good at communication with your family, I would recommend board games as a way to communicate. You and your family naturally can play games, talk, concentrate and enjoy the time. The advantage of board games is that you can talk to each other and stay together in one place compared to online games. If there is no board game, I recommend renting it from a board game cafe or visiting with you around the house. How about playing board games as a hobby with your family today? ▶ Playing a boardgame called “Clue” <Home training> I recommend home training. You can do exercise cooperatively with your family together. If you have not done home exercise training or do not know, I recommend you learn by watching YouTube. There are many home exercise training videos on YouTube that you can easily learn. We can exercise together, take care of our health, and have fun while doing various exercises. Especially, you can enjoy the hard exercise because you can do it with your family at home. Health care is the most important thing these days. Therefore, I hope you exercise with your family to take care of your health and overcome COVID-19 together. Let's invest at least 10 minutes a day for your health and your precious people. Until now, we have searched for fun hobbies and activities that we can do at home. This is written with my personal experience and views. Therefore, there can be various hobbies besides these four. I hope that students of Sangmyung University will have a healthy time at home enjoying their hobbies and life. Lastly, I would appreciate it if you could recommend various hobbies that you are enjoying or doing at home these days.

제 6 호 Will being vegetarian be a trend?

Kicker: LIFE (FOOD TRENDS) Will being vegetarian be a trend? Food Market with Vegetarianism By Chae-Eun Song, Reporter thdcogml@naver.com How do you look at vegetarians? Have you ever thought about the reason to be a vegetarian? Clearly, there are more reasons than what you think.For people who have entered the vegetarian world for a variety of reasons, the market is changing. Guess the Vegetarian population! Several years ago, vegetarians in Korea had strong images of being 'unique people' and 'animal lovers'. However, nowadays, people become vegetarian for a variety of reasons, including the environment problem, their health, ethical consumption considering social values and individual values. According to the Korean Vegetarian Federation, the number of vegetarians in the country has increased more than tenfold in 10 years from 150,000 in 2008 to 1.5 million recently. Is change really happening? Nongshim Nongshim launched 'Ganghwang Rice Noodles Fried Noodles' last month without meat. Nongshim earlier released a product for export, "Soon Ramen," a cup noodle for vegans and received favorable responses from the U.S. and Europe. Convenience stores In convenience stores, vegetarian lunch boxes have also been launched. CU is going to sell "vegetarian simple food series (lunch box, burger, and kimbap)" made of 100% vegetable ingredients starting from the 5th. The push for hamburger patties was supplied by Lotte Food and soybeans forthe lunch box kimbap were supplied by Soi Maru. The price ranges from 2,500 won to 3,500 won, similar to regular lunch boxes. Alternative meat Alternative meat development has also accelerated. Beyond Meat, which is imported and sold by Dongwon F&B, sold 10,000 packs within a month of its release. Lotte Food also launched "Ennature Zero Meat," a vegetable meat brand based on wheat protein, in April. The company aims to achieve sales of 5 billion won by the end of this year by expanding its types of steaks, ham, and sausages. Lotte In February this year, Lotteria launched its "Miracle Burger" made from vegetable patties, bread and sauce. A combination of soy protein and wheat protein has been developed to give a meat texture. Soy sauce was used instead of eggs and bread was made from vegetable ingredients instead of milk. Last year, Lotte Food also created a brand of "Ennature," a vegetable alternative meat product, and introduced "Zero-Meat Nugget and Cutlet" which used only plant ingredients. Earlier this year, Lotte Mart also launched "Hav'eat Healthy Mayo," which is made of functional soybeans instead of eggs and introduced the "Meat substitute" brand, a series of vegetable substitutes such as vegan chicken and pork cutlets. Lotte Natuur has launched the first vegan-certified ice cream in Korea.

Lotte vegetarian food SPC Samlip SPC Samlip is working with the U.S. food technology company ‘Just’ to develop vegan products. Just is an American startup that makes sustainable and nutritious food with state-of-the-art technology. "Just Egg" which embodies the taste of eggs with vegetable protein extracted from mung beans, is the flagship product. SPC Samlip is planning to exclusively distribute low-cost products, such as eggs, mayonnaise and dressing, in Korea from the second half of this year. Dongwon, Ottogi, SajoDaelim Dongwon F&B signed an exclusive supply contract with U.S. vegetable alternative meat brand Beyond Meat in December 2018 and released vegetable beef, sausage, and hamburgers. Ottogi has released instant noodles called 'Chaehwang' which is vegan-certified by the Vegan Society in England. Sajo Daelim has released 'Chadam Mandu', which is officially certified as a vegan dumpling by the Korea vegan certification authority. Being vegetarian, not special, just a trend. There are many students who have traveled to countries such as Australia and the United States and have seen a lot of vegan menu items in every restaurant. The era of vegetarianism becoming commonplace is gradually opening up in Korea. You can expect how the market will change through vegetarianism, and how much the world and the environment will change.

제 5 호 A Disease that You May Get: Cancer

Kicker: LIFE (CANCER) A Disease that You May Get: Cancer An Increased Incidence of Cancer in 20s and the Link between Students at Sangmyung University by Ju-eun Yeon/Editor yeonje1113@naver.com What comes to your mind first when you hear of a disease called cancer? If you thought of an old man lying in a hospital bed, you were half right. Recently, there has been an article suggesting that the incidence of cancer in 20s’ people has increased. Therefore, this article will look at the incidence of cancer in 20s and the lifestyle of SMU students. Finally, I will introduce vaccines related to cancer and government policy. Cause of Cancer Cells in Your Body ▲ The image of cancer cell Academically speaking, a mutation in the genes of normal cells causes normal cells to turn into cancer cells and as their number increases, they develop cancer. The unit that makes up the human body is called cells. Normal cells repeat outbreak, division, and multiplication and die at the end of a certain life. However, normal cells turn into mutant cells due to chemical, ultraviolet or virus infections; then we call these cancer cells. Cancer cells are occurring in the human body every day from hundreds to thousands. Why do thousands of cancer cells form? The reason is that one of the main characteristics of cancer cells is unlimited proliferation. Cancer cells may have formed in your body even now. Do not worry! If you have a healthy body, cancer cells will die for immune cells(T lymphocyte, NK cells) and your body will remain healthy. However, if immune function is reduced, cancer cells that multiply away from immune cells appear. This is so-called cancer when cancer cells multiply repeatedly. Therefore, the underlying cause of cancer is the breakdown of the balance of immune cells that kill cancer cells. The Major Cancer in 20s and the Lifestyle Habit of SMU Students ▲ Rate of increase and decrease over the last five years The rate of cancer among people in their 20s has been increasing recently. According to the Health Insurance Review Assessment, the number of patients in 20s diagnosed with five major cancers (stomach cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colorectal cancer) rose from 3,621 in 2014 to 21,741 in 2018. The growth rate is 44.5%. the number of cervical cancer patients in 20s rose 65.1% to 13,284 in 2018 from 2,041 in 2014, colorectal cancer rose 30.3% to 486 from 373 over the same period. Although genes have some effect on cancer incidence, most of the factors are external factors. That is, they are greatly affected by behavioral factors such as food intake, smoking, and active lifestyles. Cancer is no longer someone else’s business. It is close to our lives. Therefore, it is necessary to compare external factors that cause cancer with the lifestyle habits of SMU students through a survey. The survey was conducted from Feb. 28 to March 15, with a total of 58 SMU students participating. If you are a reader who did not participate in this survey, then let’s check these questions. Q1) How many midnight snacks do you eat a week? According to the survey, about two to three times (50%), followed by not more than once (39.7%), about four to five (8.6%), and no response (1.7%). I recommend you not to eat a midnight snack as much as possible. When you fall asleep within one to two hours after eating a midnight snack, the undigested food passes over to the large intestine and makes a decomposing substance with intestinal bacteria. At this time, the increased number of harmful bacteria penetrates in the blood and makes carcinogens. Q2) How much fiber do you take a week? About two to three times a week accounted for the most with 37.9%, followed by about four to five times with 32.8%. The amount of fiber consumed by SMU students is extremely low. It is recommended that you eat 200 grams of vegetables and fruits a day. Eating fiber shortens the amount of time the feces stay in the large intestine, reducing the amount of time that they come into contact with carcinogens. Q3) How much exercise do you do a week? According to the survey, there is a result that the SMU students rarely do exercise for one week recording not more than once (56.9%). Cancer cells multiply most actively at 35°C and die when they reach over 39°C. It is important to increase body temperature through exercise since cancer occurs at low body temperatures. Q4) Do you smoke? Q4-1) If you answered yes in Q4, how much do you smoke a day? 91.4% said they do not smoke and only 6.9% said yes. Of the 6.9%, 50% said that they smoke not more than once a day and each 25% said that they smoke more than five times and about two to three times. The team led by Lee Ki-hun of Seoul National University said, “just by reducing the number of times you smoke a day, you can reduce the chances of cancer. However, the unchanged strategy to prevent cancer is do not smoke.” We have looked at the cause of cancer, the major cancer in 20s and the lifestyle habit of SMU Students. Once again, cancer is no longer irrelevant to us. If you have a gene causing cancer or a high level in the survey above, periodic health checkups are essential. The government is implementing a policy to conduct free medical checkups according to birth year. Details can be found here: (https://www.nhis.or.kr/). There are also vaccines to prevent certain kinds of cancer such as cervical cancer. If you have not gotten a vaccine yet, go to a hospital as soon as possible. Finally, remember that it is most important to change external factors, such as improving exercise and eating habits, to prevent cancer.

제 4 호 Various Color In Food

Kicker: LIFE (FOOD) Various Color In Food Globalization in food by Chae-eun Song, Reporter thdcogml@naver.com One quiz! There are photos with pretty roads, pretty clothes, hot places on Instagram, What makes that look more perfect? Yes, delicious and colorful food! Not only are there foods from various countries but also fusion foods that are mixed with foods from many countries, Korea's food culture is blossoming. And today, Let’s talk about fusion foods. What are fusion foods? Fusion food, as the word fusion suggests, refers to a mixture of various food ingredients and cooking methods. It is originally referring to a recipe developed mainly in California, the United States. As more and more different ingredients and recipes are mixed, unexpected combinations of fusion foods are being developed. As a result, the realm of fusion foods is expanding. Culture develops as it meets with other cultures and is influenced by each other. Food is also a culture, so it is natural for different cultures to meet and mix and develop. In this way, fusion food is the result of the development of culture. Why don't you enjoy eating fusion food today? Various fusion foods There are many fusion foods. I will introduce fusion foods that are popular in Korea. First, Kimchi Pizza Sweet and Sour Pork. What a long name! As its name is long, it is a food that has representative food from many countries. Korea, USA and China’s representative food make proper harmony. Three foods that seemed to mismatch are gaining popularity through synergy in Korea. Isn’t that funny? ▲Kimchi Pizza Sweet and Sour Pork Next, Korean-style pasta! There are Kimchi pasta and Bulgogi pasta. They can be unfamiliar, especially kimchi pasta. However, this unfamiliar harmony makes a special favor. This food can make a special day more special. ▲Kimchi Pasta and Bulgogi Pasta Bulgogi burgers made in the TV program ‘Yoon Restaurant’ are transforming Korean Bulgogi into a taste for foreign tastes.This food could capture the taste of foreigners, and the scenes that foreigners eat Korean food very deliciously were very popular and interested Korean people. As such, 'food' is a culture, and it is also an item of TV programs. ▲Bulgogi bugers in Program ‘Yoon Restruant’ Making globalization from your hands Have you ever cooked fusion food youself? Or do you have any ideas? Not only just tasting unusual food, but also creating something special with your own hands. Not only is it a special and good experience to create creative food yourself that combines food from other countries, but cooking through many recipes on the Internet will be a special thing to experience food culture in other countries more directly than just eating. One of the ways to be friends Through globalization, a‘foreigner’ is now a person who can be our friend, not just a distant neighbor. Even if we look around right now, we can meet foreign friends such as international students. Unfortunately, I have not seen many cases that Korean students get close with international students, but some students get closer through team projects. Why don’t you make time to talk about each other's culture by eating fusion food with foreign friends? Or perhaps it would be a good idea to make fusion dishes and share stories about them. Let’s make more various friends through food! So, food is not just about eating things anymore. Food can be a mood maker, art, and a method of relationship building.And the best way to show this characteristics of the food is fusion food.What if you think of the fusion foods in TV, YouTube, and restaurants as not just food, but think about the meaning that they have? If you think about what culture the foods have, what atmosphere they create, and what role this food has played today, it is probably not just food!

제 4 호 Where is an English-speaking Doctor’s Clinic?

Kicker: LIFE(Information) Where is an English-speaking Doctor’s Clinic? Facility Information for Foreign Students In or Around the Campus of Sangmyung Univ. By Min-gyong Lee, Editor lee.mkpeach@gmail.com Sangmyung Univ. has many foreign students. In Korea, it is not easy for foreigners to find information about various amenities and medical facilities. In this edition of the SM Herald, we have organized an article to provide this information. First, we got help from Professor Samuel Alexander Denny to get information on how to approach these issues from a foreigner's perspective. Question 1) What facility information do foreign students need in or around the campus of Sangmyung Univ.? Answer) When you are not feeling well, if you’re a foreign student, you may not know where the nurse's office is, I don’t know where it is, either. Additionally, I think there may be some school counselors to help international students who are experiencing difficulties. And I want to make sure they know how to use the sports facilities when they want to work out or exercise: hours of operation, how long they are open, how they can sign up, how they register to use the gym or tennis court. As for facilities outside campus, an international student once asked me where she could find an English Speaking dentist for dental work. There are students where Korean speaking skill is very low, so I think having some information about English-speaking doctor’s clinics and English-speaking dentist’s offices would be helpful. There are doctor’s clinics near the campus, of course, but what if some international students can’t speak Korean? Those students may feel more comfortale if the doctor can speak English or other languages. Question 2) How did you get the information so far? Answer) So in my case, I learned a lot from my friends, and I have searched for English speaking clinics in Seoul. The students can do this on their own, but it would be very helpful for the SM Herald to organize and share some of this information. Publishing this kind of article shows that we care about our international students and want about to support them. Sometimes I still go to an international clinic in Itaewon and also not too far from Sangmyung, Yonsei Severance Hospital has an international clinic. There is a very good doctor there and his name is Dr. Linton, director of the International Health Care Center of Yonsei University’s Severance Hospital. He grew up in Korea and speaks perfect Korean, with an accent of Jeolla Province. Question 3) Have you ever used the Korea map or GPS navigation system apps that provides services in English? Answer) I have not. You guys grew up in the digital age, but I’m still kind of old-fashioned. I tried it, but I’m still not good at it. I think for international students your age, however, it would be no problem. Question 4) Are there any inconveniences? Answer) I think international students who don’t know how to use those applications might need Korean friends to help them to do it. Teaching and explaining that kind of information, I think, is useful. Professor Denny suggested that information on the use of a nurse's office, counseling rooms, sports facilities, etc. needs to be shared to international students. In addition, he agreed that sharing useful app for navigating facilities out of campus would be good for students to know. Some of the facilities on campus are listed below, and information links and how to use the navigation application for Korean regional medical facilities are also shown below.A follow-up article on using sports facilities is going to be published next spring. ▼Convenience and Welfare Facilities in Campus Facility Name Location Service Contents Health and Wellness Center Student Hall 3F Counseling with nurse Post Office* Education Hall basement (Front of building) Bookstore Future 100 Anniversary Center basement Books, stationery Global Language Center Student Hall 1F Overseas study counseling, foreign language education, etc. Copy Shop Library 2F, General Building 4F Copying (unmanned photocopying machine in the school), binding, printing ATM Student Hall 1F Woori Bank, KB Bank, Post Office General Building 4F Woori Bank Future 100 Anniversary Center basement Woori Bank Bus stop Woori Bank Seminar Room Millennium Hall, 1st floor 2 rooms Library 5F 10 rooms à From the website for foreign students of Sangmyung Univ.

제 3 호 The Most Mysterious Light about Our Eyes, Blue Light

Kicker: LIFE (HEALTHY) The Most Mysterious Light about Our Eyes, Blue Light Wisdom and Cleverness for Awareness and Prevention for Blue Light by Yu-sun Kang, Reporter dbtjs126@naver.com In recent years, people have become increasingly attentive to light pollution influences on their eyes. With the explosive usage rate of smartphones, blue light breakers, blue light blocking plants and blue light blocking stickers, have now come to be a necessity, not an option. People hypnotize themselves by simply using these things as a shallow and quick defense, without even considering reducing the use of smartphones. What is blue light? What is it that gets into our daily lives and causes a dilemma deeply? In order to take away the huge anxiety, you first need to get proper comprehension about it since you realized that it is nearly impossible to cut off usage of smartphones. I write this article to ease the fear of blue light even a little bit more and to get wisdom to control it in a proper way. ▲ Simple table for explanation for blue light First of all, the dictionary description Blue light is a blue series of light that belongs to a low wavelength between 380 and 500 nm. Blue light has the shortest *wavelength and strongest energy among visible light, and the blue light exists and has a lasting effect on the human body, not only on computers, TVs and smartphone screens, but also in the afternoon sunlight. The fact that light is not only a material that is unavoidable for humans to live with, but it also has close connections with the five main sensory systems we have is perhaps the point that blue lights can be such an easy-to-handle point for the media. Blue Light in Mass Media Before I describe the word in this article, if someone asks us, "Where did you first hear of blue light?" then I think 90 percent of the answers would be the "media" very clearly. While everyone knows the dictionary definition of blue light superficially, only some people may know its explanation in a scientific and technical way from experts or eye doctors. But there must be exceptions like a few people who are interested in health care theses or specialized books. Some of the main keywords that come to us from television, the Internet, magazines or personal blogs are full of diseases such as "Lack of Sight," "**Macular Degeneration", "***Cataract" or "Loss Sight" that make you want to put your smartphone down right now. So what kind of feeling most comes to mind when you see those descriptions about blue light? Facts, exaggeration, and redefinition. All of the experimental studies of blue light tell us exactly like those things. The issue of “Nature’s” sister journal “Scientific Report” shows that blue light damages the visual cells of mice, and the paper by a team of professors at the “Japan Institute of Pharmacology” mentions that, "The cells of mice that are exposed directly from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) used in devices such as smartphones, TVs and PCs have been damaged.” But according to the “American Academy of Ophthalmology”, the most prominent ophthalmology research institute, blue light does not blind you. This means that it is not harmful to the health of the eyes. For sustaining the definition, experiments and studies conducted for negative papers on blue light cannot be applied equally to humans because they are animal experiments, and the way light is exposed is different from the way light is exposed in everyday life, and the ability to be protected from blue light does exist in our own eyes. In addition, researchers at “Color Tech Institute of Korea” stated, "There are countless cases of damage to retinal epithelial cells and nerve cells," and that "there is no data that says blue light is the decisive cause" and "the relationship between blue light and yellow dust is not yet proven." Plus or minus? So which side does blue light fit? So is it just a harmless light that has no effect on us? The conclusion is too complex and fast to come to. In conclusion, blue light is neither a plus nor a minus for us. In order to speak more clearly, we need to know the concept of biorhythm. Biorhythm is a scientific word that means a constant term of cycles in the human body and appears in a particular pattern depending on environmental and physical inner system that influences ability or activity efficiency for what we have to do is our lives, especially for sleep, and the relationship between sleep, biorhythm and blue light is undeniably very close. This is because exposure to blue light suppresses the release of melatonin, a hormone that impacts sleep rhythm. The diffusion of electronic devices with screens, especially after the sun has set, spreads the exposure of blue light. Blue light that comes from image devices, fluorescent lights, and LED lights are disturbing the quality of sleep and the biorhythm. There is a possibility that any kind of light can suppress the release of melatonin, but this blue light especially works much more strongly. But blue light from sunlight during the day is very positive. This is because it has a positive effect on getting a good night's sleep by maintaining the biorhythm. In Northern Europe, where the amount of sunlight is short, blue light is sometimes used as a treatment to promote serotonin secretion. This is because the blue light induces serotonin secretion, called the "day hormone," so that it is recognized as day even when the sun is dark due to its shortness. Wise control rather than unconditional defense In the end, I would like to say that studies that show that blue light has a direct and negative impact on the visual elements that support our eyes and our eyes, as described in the media so far, are not perfect. Of course, that is not to say that blue light is a perfect material that is harmless to our bodies. As mentioned above, it is a hypothesis that it can act as an obstacle to the quality of sleep. If the quality of sleep decreases, it can also be a negative trigger for other factors that support our lives. So I would like to recommend a proper control method for blue light. It would be better if you check and follow this short guide for people concerned about blue light. - 1. When using electronic devices to prevent dry eyes, it is recommended to rest your eyes while looking at a distance of 10 minutes after 50 minutes of use. If you need to watch a monitor for a long time, you should consciously blink your eyes to relieve the dryness. - 2. Use a dark red light for night lighting. It is recommended that the blue light be blocked from entering the eye after dark. Red light has the fewest powers to change the ****circadian rhythm and inhibit melatonin. - 3. Do not look at electronic devices two to three hours before bedtime. This is because blue light can interfere with sleep rhythms. - 4. If you are on night duty or need to use a lot of electronic devices at night, it is recommended that you wear blue light blocking glasses or install an application that filters blue and green wavelengths at night. Blue light-blocked glasses coat the inner surface of the lenses, reducing glare caused by the reflection of the blue light and the presence of light into the eyes. Sun glasses that remove only blue light are suitable for indoor use at night. Of course, eyeglasses that block only the blue light are expensive, costing up to $80. However, inexpensive orange sunglasses are not suitable for indoor use at night. By exposing your body to bright light during the day, you can sleep at night, and improve your mood and attention during the day. - 5. Enjoy plenty of sunshine during the day. By exposing your body to bright light during the day, you can sleep at night, and improve your mood and attention during the day. *Wavelength: thedistancebetween twowavesofenergy, or thelengthof theradiowaveused by aparticularradiostationforbroadcastingprogrammes **Macular Degeneration: aconditionin which the macula(= thecentralareaof theretinain theeye)changes, resultingin alossofcentralvision.

제 3 호 Take Care of Your Health for This Semester!

Kicker: LIFE (VITAMINS) Take Care of Your Health for This Semester! the Vitamins that Supplement Our Health by Ju - eun Yeon, Reporter Yeonje1113@naver.com The new semester has started. Are you adjusting well? Maybe you are having a busy day. When the semester begins, it is usually hard to take care of the tired body while doing various activities such as daily tasks, exams, and TOEIC. These make it difficult to exercise. Therefore, I want to write about vitamins that serve as a health supplement for busy SMU students. What kind of vitamins can help SMU students? ▲ the Image Representing Vitamins Types and Functions of Vitamins Vitamins can be largely divided into water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamins B and C are water soluble and vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble. See the table below. ▲ Health Benefits of Vitamins Some people take nutritional supplements instead of vitamin-containing foods when they cannot eat them. Now, let's find out what kind of vitamin-containing or expert-recommended nutritional supplements there are. 1. Multi Vitamin ▲ the Image of Multi Vitamin It is a minimal supplement that can compensate for the lack of nutrients for modern people.Although it is different depending on the products, various minerals, such as vitamin B, C, zinc, iron, and folic acid, can be taken as a pill. 2. Probiotics Stomach’s health is getting worse due to irregular eating habits, late-night eating, dieting, and stress during the semester. It helps to improve the symptoms of irritable colon syndrome, and it is beneficial to intestinal health if consumed steadily. 3. Minerals Multivitamins may contain minerals, but they may be taken separately if they are deemed insufficient. They serve to strengthen immunity and help absorb vitamins 4. Omega-3 ▲ the Image Omega-3 When you were young, have you heard that eating a lot of fish skin makes you smart? Omega-3, which is high in fish, helps keep the brain healthy and remove blood vessel waste. It is effective in reducing blood cholesterol levels and in controlling and weighting cholesterol levels in the body. 5. Lutein ▲ the Image of Multi Lutein It is an eye nutrient. It works to prevent xerophthalmia*. Take lutein if you feel tired in your eyes because of your assignments. Usually, lutein is good to eat just before bedtime. 6. Coenzyme Q10 It is an antioxidant produced by the body that is effective in blocking active oxygen. Let's eat it in advance because production decreases after 20s. 7. Calcium Calcium is a nutrient that makes up bones, but it also stabilizes muscles and nerves. Calcium’s intake is usually recommended during the evening. Recommendation for SMU Students When the semester begins, it is easy for students to eat and sleep irregularly due to their schoolwork and assignments.Further, increasing alcohol consumption is likely to lead to a lack of water-soluble vitamins that help the body's energy metabolism. In this situation, a good nutrient to recommend is B. Vitamin B5 helps relieve stress and B6 helps keep blood sugar levels at normal levels after food intake. B9 prevents malignant anemia and B12 (folic acid) prevents normal DNA from being transformed.It is also good to take vitamin D. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for calcium metabolism, which keeps the body's bones strong.If you are suffering from chronic fatigue, vitamin D and magnesium are recommended.The nutrients’ effectiveness may differ for each individual, so please look at them only as a reference. This article is to inform busy SMU students who do not have enough time to exercise about the effectiveness of vitamins. Since this is just a recommendation, I hope you can buy nutritional supplements that suit your taste after consulting with your doctor. Moreover, it is more important to take nutritional supplements consistently than to eat them a lot at a time. Too much nutrition can be poisonous, and cause such as diarrhea.Finally, it is good to take vitamins in parallel with exercise. This is because no matter how much nutrition you take, it is less effective than exercising. Although it will be hard to adjust to school just after the semester started, I hope you finish the semester with a healthy body. *xerophthalmia: a disease caused by a lack of tears or excessive evaporation of tears.
