Jaejin Jung emphasized, "Constipation is not simply a problem of bowel movements, but a condition caused by a combination of factors such as decreased colon motility, imbalance of intestinal microbiota, and mucosal damage. It is important to maintain the rhythm of the intestines by consuming enough water and dietary fiber, maintaining regular eating habits, and engaging in appropriate physical activity."

He also suggested practical measures for colon health, including: drinking 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day; promoting beneficial gut bacteria by consuming whole grains, vegetables, and fruits; not holding in bowel movements for long periods; and avoiding excessive dieting and irregular meals.

The "Bumin Health Class" is a regular monthly health lecture offered free of charge to all community members to promote public health.

The health class will be on break in November, and the next session is scheduled for December 11, 2025.

A representative from Busan Bumin Hospital stated, "We will continue to offer lectures on a variety of topics to help spread a culture of health together with the local community."
