Slow running that can burn fat without strain... More effective on an empty stomach in the morning
Bae Yoon-jung has successfully maintained her sleek figure through consistent exercise and diet management. She regularly posts running selfies on her social media, stating, "What I felt while running is that it doesn't really matter to run fast for a long time. I think it's important to just run slowly for 3-5km every day."
As Bae Yoon-jung practices, running slowly for 3-5km every day can effectively burn body fat. The advantage is that it is not high intensity, so it can be continued steadily without strain, and it also helps improve cardiovascular health, relieve stress, and enhance sleep quality.
Especially, doing slow running on an empty stomach or when there is a long interval between meals can increase the proportion of fat used as blood sugar and glycogen levels drop. It is essential to stretch focusing on the lower body before and after running to prevent injuries.
Olive oil + lemon juice helps control meal portions by providing satiety
On the other hand, Bae Yoon-jung mentioned that she maintains a routine of mixing olive oil with lemon juice in the morning. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which can stabilize blood sugar fluctuations and increase satiety, helping to control meal portions afterward.
In particular, olive oil increases the secretion of a hormone called leptin, which signals the brain that "I am full." This leads to appetite suppression, resulting in a natural tendency to reduce calorie intake.
Lemon juice, which is consumed together, is rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, which helps improve vascular health and reduce oxidative stress. Additionally, the citric acid and polyphenol components in lemon delay carbohydrate absorption and inhibit post-meal blood sugar spikes. Its unique freshness also helps to counteract the greasiness of the oil.
However, since olive oil is a high-calorie food, it is advisable to consume only 1-2 teaspoons per day. Also, the strong acidic components of lemon juice can cause excessive stomach acid when consumed on an empty stomach, potentially worsening gastritis, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux, so caution is advised for those with sensitive stomachs.
