Lee Kyung-kyu, backlash after encouraging her to step down… Coronary artery calcification ‘Red light’ (Amazing Habits)

Broadcaster Lee Kyung-kyu faced backlash after encouraging announcer Lee Yoon-ah to step down.

On the ‘Lee Kyung-kyu‘s Amazing Habits’, which will air on the 23rd, they will discuss the dizzying health crisis that can occur when calcium cannot return to the bones due to a lack of vitamin K2.

During the recording, announcer Lee Yoon-ah looked deeply moved, saying that it had been six months since she started ‘Amazing Habits’. Then Lee Kyung-kyu looked at his watch and slyly suggested that Lee Yoon-ah step down, saying, “The contract period is up?”. Lee Yoon-ah burst into laughter saying, “It’s a lifetime contract. I‘ll go all the way with you, senior.” Lee Kyung-kyu, who was looking at Lee Yoon-ah smiling brightly, said, “I’ve been drained of energy for the past 6 months,” and showed an exhausted expression. Lee Yoon-ah then laughed even more excitedly and said, “It‘s the best compliment to say that I sucked up teacher Lee Kyung-kyu’s energy(?).”

On that day‘s broadcast, specialists warned about the bone crisis that is increasing as much as chronic diseases. Without vitamin K2, calcium that has leaked into the blood cannot return to the bones, which weakens both the bones and blood vessels. In particular, in the case of blood vessels, if calcium hardens and calcifies, the blood vessels can become blocked.

In fact, one patient who requested SOS, saying that he was having a hard time due to severe osteoporosis, also had serious calcification. Although I have been careful about my calcium intake to improve my osteoporosis, the calcium has instead become calcified, and the results of the coronary artery calcification CT scan showed a calcification index of 478, which is a dangerous level.

Lee Kyung-kyu expressed his concern, saying that he had also undergone a coronary artery calcification CT scan. Lee Kyung-kyu also confessed that his coronary artery calcification had progressed significantly, and his calcification score had reached 219 points. This is considered moderate, and Lee Kyung-kyu was relieved to hear that it could look even more exaggerated if he had undergone coronary artery stenting.

The dire warning of calcium that has not returned to the bones can be seen on SBS’s ‘Amazing Habits’, which airs on Sunday, February 23rd at 8:35 AM.
