Yon's Talk

The approaching summer,
Starting a healthy diet

Hello. I am Ji-yeon Hong, director of Yon Korean Medicine Clinic. It has been a while, so I would like to talk about daily health.

With the prolonged lifestyle of staying at home due to COVID-19, stress has increased and many people are enjoying food delivery, leading to weight gain. Especially for us mothers, stress is compounded by taking care of children and preparing meals, which leads to a vicious cycle of overeating and weight gain.

Since opening the clinic, I also haven't been able to exercise well and have been eating late-night snacks, so I have gained a little weight. Unlike young people with high energy metabolic rates, as we age, the amount, timing, and types of food we eat all play a significant role in our weight.

Why Diet?

Diet, health comes before aesthetics

When summer comes, many people decide to go on a diet for aesthetic reasons due to lighter clothing. However, a true diet is also essential for health.

Older people may tell you that gaining weight is healthy, but that is not actually the case. In my own experience, I feel much lighter and have better physical strength when my abdominal area is slimmer than when my weight has increased. In particular, abdominal obesity has a high possibility of being visceral fat, which can be the starting point for various metabolic diseases, and it can also be a cause of lower back pain in terms of the musculoskeletal system. In fact, quite a few people start a diet because of lower back pain.

However, starving yourself while remaining inactive is not good. You should control the amount of food you eat while adjusting the types of food to ensure that your body receives the necessary nutrients, and you must combine aerobic and strength exercises.

Solution

4 Factors for a healthy diet
without the yo-yo effect

Beyond just weight loss, we need to
improve physical strength and fundamental health.

POINT 01

Proper food portions and type control

Instead of starving yourself, you should control the type and amount of food so that the nutrients needed by your body are absorbed evenly.

POINT 02

Consistent exercise

To lose weight healthily and maintain elasticity, you should consistently combine aerobic and strength training in your daily life.

POINT 03

Normalization of gut microbiome

If your gut environment is collapsed, you will gain weight back quickly even after dieting, so you should restore gut health through improved eating habits.

POINT 04

Fundamental health of blood vessels and gut

Going beyond aesthetic changes, the true goal of a diet is to make your blood vessels and gut healthy and increase your overall physical strength.
