Ye Ji-won Gets Real About Inflammation on JTBC’s ‘The Incredible Body’
It’s not every day you hear a celebrity equate joint care with life motivation—but that’s exactly what Ye Ji-won did on the latest episode of The Incredible Body, JTBC’s popular health infotainment series.
From Caveman Clues to Modern Health Woes
On the July 30th broadcast, Episode 11 spotlighted the theme of “the chain reaction of inflammation.” Kicking things off with a trip back in time, the show unpacked how even our prehistoric ancestor Lucy—yes, the 3.2 million-year-old fossil—showed signs of arthritis. It turns out, stiff joints aren’t a modern problem.
They also highlighted the case of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí, who reportedly battled arthritis from childhood. These historical references drove home a strong point: joint issues aren’t just inevitable—they’re part of our evolution.
“Controlling Inflammation Is the Real Power Button of Life”
Ye Ji-won underlined how inflammation isn’t just about sore knees or creaky fingers. “Unchecked inflammation can be the gateway to osteoporosis, heart disease—even sudden death,” said the show’s expert, echoing Ye’s motivational insight: “You’ve got to tame inflammation if you want joints built to last. It’s the real vitality button in life.”
Her words struck a chord with viewers, pairing science with a personal touch. It’s not just medical talk—it’s a lifestyle mantra.
Celebrity Athletes Who Bounced Back Thanks to Inflammation Management
Backing this science with star power, the episode also spotlighted athletes who fought through injury and inflammation to make comebacks. Think Aisha Trout, volleyball queen Kim Yeon-koung, and soccer legend Park Ji-sung. Each of them serves as living proof that mastering inflammation is key to longevity—not just in sports, but in life.
Ye Ji-won Says It’s Time to Invest in Your Health
In true Ye Ji-won flair, she wrapped up with a punchy takeaway: “Health isn’t something you put off—it’s something you invest in today. I just put another deposit in my health savings account.”
The actress serves as MC for The Incredible Body, now in its 11th episode, airing every Saturday at 8:55 AM KST on JTBC. It’s equal parts entertaining and eye-opening, mixing celebrity charm with straight-up health facts.
