Eunjung's physical age is 74? Doctor: Reduce 500 calories a day to lose weight healthily

According to media reports, Eunjung, a member of the Korean girl group T-ara, recently appeared on the program "Vitamin" to test the lipid status in her blood. The results showed that Eunjung, who is only 28 years old, has a cell age of 74 years old, which surprised the guests on the scene. The report pointed out that Eunjung's daily calorie intake was 800 calories less than normal. The malnutrition led to insufficient cholesterol, which put her health at risk. Weight loss experts say that insufficient calories have little correlation with cell aging, but too little calorie intake is indeed bad for health. It is recommended to reduce 500 calories per day.

Losing weight is not about eating less. Insufficient calories may affect metabolism.

Wrong way of losing weight will lead to body aging? Dr. Hsiao Dun-ren, chairman of the Obesity Research Society of the Republic of China, said that there is currently no method to detect the so-called body age or cell age. If people consume too few calories in order to lose weight, they must pay attention to whether their body's metabolism is normal.

Dr. Xiao Dunren pointed out that a healthy weight loss diet should be "low-calorie and balanced". Although the calories consumed should be reduced, the amount should not be too low, otherwise it may cause a deficiency of trace elements in the body and affect metabolism. If you want to lose weight, it is recommended to reduce 500 calories a day, which is the appropriate approach.

531 exercise principle combined with diet to help lose weight

In addition, exercise is also an important task for weight loss. Dr. Xiao Dunren recommends that people can follow the "531" exercise principle, that is, exercise 5 days a week, 30 minutes each time, with a heart rate of 110 beats per time. Some people often complain that they don’t have time to go to the gym or don’t like running. In fact, brisk walking is a very good exercise that does not require special venues or equipment to achieve the purpose of exercise and help lose weight.

Many people lose too much weight, and insufficient calorie intake may affect their health.

Insufficient calories affect cholesterol. Excessive weight loss may harm your health.

On the other hand, many people are confused, "Will insufficient calorie intake lead to insufficient cholesterol and thus affect health?" Dr. Xiao Dunren pointed out that 70% of cholesterol is produced by the liver and 30% comes from the diet. If the calorie intake is too low, the body will lack the raw materials to produce cholesterol, which will naturally lead to insufficient cholesterol in the body.

The functions of cholesterol in the human body include forming cell membranes, maintaining cell membrane functions, and synthesizing hormones. Therefore, if calorie intake is insufficient, which leads to insufficient cholesterol in the body, it may affect health and people should not take it lightly.

Is cholesterol good or bad? Diet and exercise for good health

On the other hand, many people often think that cholesterol can be divided into good and bad types. Dr. Hsiao Dun-ren explained that there is actually only one type of cholesterol, but because of its different "habitats" in the blood, it is personified into black face (bad cholesterol) and white face (good cholesterol). What people commonly call "good cholesterol" refers to high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and "bad cholesterol" refers to low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The former can carry cholesterol in the blood to the liver for metabolism, while the latter will cause cholesterol to attach to the blood vessel walls, thus easily causing cardiovascular disease.

What should you do if you want to reduce "bad cholesterol" and increase "good cholesterol"? Dr. Xiao Dunren said that in addition to reducing the intake of high-cholesterol foods, exercise can also help achieve this goal. However, since up to 70% of cholesterol is produced by the human body, some people still have high cholesterol even if they eat a light diet, so personal constitution also has an impact. People are advised to maintain the habit of moderate exercise, which not only helps to lose weight but also promotes overall health.
