Weight that keeps creeping up, an unexplainably lethargic afternoon, cravings for sweet and spicy foods the moment you turn around... Did you dismiss it, thinking it was simply due to age? But this might not be simple aging; it could be a danger signal sent by your body.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt startled? Your belly keeps expanding, the clinic warns you to watch out for hypertension and hyperglycemia, and while you try to dismiss it as simple middle-age spread, a sudden sense of worry creeps in. Did you know this might not be mere middle-age spread, but a critical danger signal sent from deep within your body? Donguibogam referred to this state as 'accumulation and gathering (jeokchwi)'.

Did you eat only fruit in the morning thinking it was healthy, yet find yourself dizzy and completely drained before lunchtime even arrived? Or have you noticed yourself battling unbearable lethargy around 3 p.m. while craving only sweet snacks? That is right; those are signs that your body is being helplessly tossed around on a blood glucose rollercoaster.
