Usage of 'your'

Many Koreans have a dream of living in the house because it was revealed that living in Hanok is good for your health.

Is the sentence correct? Or should your change to their?

I have learned that you and your can be used to mean people in general so I think that the sentence is okay to use and there is a meaning difference between your and their in the context.

What do you native English speakers think?
Thank you so much as usual in advance.
