박 종 석 지도교수 : 문 경 래 교수 조선대학교 보건대학원 대체의학과

생식은 음식을 익히지 않고 섭취하는 식사 방식이다. 인류가 불을 발견한 이후 조리방법이 개발되었고 음식의 맛에서 즐거움을 느끼기 시작하면서 식생활은 화식이 주를 이루게 되었다. 근래에는 문명의 발달과 함께 다양한 맛과 여러 형태의 음식 문화를 이룩하여 풍요로운 삶을 누리게 되었지만 반면, 사람들은 질병과 질환에 괴롭힘을 당하는 처지가 되었다.

현대인은 건강을 고려한 식생활의 개선이 필요하다. 오행생식요법은 곡물을 주성분으로 구성한 소량의 생식으로 식사를 대신하거나 간식으로 보충하여 건강을 돌보는 방법이다. 곡물은 씨앗으로서 영양소와 정기가 함축된 물질이므로 익히지 않고 섭취하면 살아있는 영양소와 자연의 생명력을 흡수하는 효율 높은 식사가 되는 것이다.

자연의 생명력이 인체에 투입되면 인체는 활성화 된다. 따라서 질환의 개선과 호전이 일어나며 심신의 양면에 활력이 생겨나는 것이다. 질환의 예방과 노화를 지연시키는 효과도 거둘 수 있다. 수명이 연장되고 있는 이 시대에 노후 건강을 위한 대안으로 무리없는 방법이다 동양의학적 원리에서 정립된 오행생식요법은 영양균형이 깨어지기 쉬운 현대인의 생활구조에 알맞으며 원기를 북돋아 심신 양면에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 식생활 개선책이다. 기와 혈의 효과적인 보충을 통해 전신적이고 전인적인 폭넓은 효능을 보이고 있다.

본 연구는 오행생식요법에 따라 생식을 실천중인 328명과 생식 실천을 시도하였으나 2개월 이내에 중지한 42명을 대상으로 만족도를 측정하였다. 생식 실천 1년차 91명, 2년차 60명, 3년차 42명, 4년 이상 135명이 각자 호전을 원했던 571개 질환의 개선 여부를 조사하는데 중점을 두었다. 그 결과 효능도가 가장 높은 계통별 질환은 소화계질환이었으며 신경계질환, 생식기계질환, 비뇨기계질환, 내분비계질환, 전신질환, 피부질환, 호흡계질환, 근골격계질환, 이비인후질환, 순환계질환 순으로 나타났다. 매우 호전 반응과 상당히 호전 반응을 긍정적 효능으로 해석하여 73.6%의 효능도를 확인하였고 약간 호전, 그대로, 악화 등 애매하거나 부정적인 효능은 27.4%로 나타났다. 뚜렷한 효능도를 보인 개별 질환은 수족냉증(67.9%), 과체중(60.3%), 무력감(58.9%), 수면장애(50.0%), 안면홍조(50.0%), 스트레스(46.7%) 순으로 매우 호전 반응을 나타냈다.

오행생식요법은 통곡물의 각종 영양소가 파괴되지 않고 섭취되는 장점과 4숟갈 정도의 소량으로도 1회 식사량이 충족되는 소식 식사법의 용이성이 현대인의 생활 환경에 무난한 건강법으로 꼽힐만 하다.|
