45-year-old Chu Ja-hyun reveals 'slim shoulder line'... Absolutely does not eat 'three things' for maintenance

Actress Chu Ja-hyun (45) has released a photoshoot.

On the 14th, Chu Ja-hyun posted a photo on her Instagram with the caption "Share." In the revealed photo, Chu Ja-hyun is wearing a white bralette, showcasing her slender shoulder line. In the past, Chu Ja-hyun appeared on SBS's "Same Bed, Different Dreams" and revealed her body secret. She said, "I don't eat well," and "I eat ramen only once or twice a year and don't eat bread very often." She also added, "The only thing I do eat is alcohol, but I don't even eat snacks when I drink." Let's find out why Chu Ja-hyun avoids ramen, bread, and snacks to maintain her figure.

◇Instant noodles, which can cause high blood pressure due to their high sodium content, are one of the representative foods high in sodium. The sodium content of a single serving of instant noodles can be as high as 1800mg or more, approaching the recommended daily intake of 2000mg just from noodles alone. Sodium determines osmotic pressure and regulates blood volume. Frequent consumption of instant noodles leads to excessive sodium intake, which increases osmotic pressure within blood vessels. As a result, blood volume also increases, causing blood vessels to expand and internal vascular pressure to rise, potentially leading to high blood pressure. In fact, studies have shown that women who frequently consume noodles such as ramen or udon are at a higher risk of developing hypertension compared to women who do not. According to research published in a journal by the Korean Society of Nutrition, women who consume noodles five or more times a week have a 2.3 times higher risk of developing hypertension than women who do not eat them at all.

◇When blood sugar rises easily, weight gain occurs. Bread is a typical refined carbohydrate. Frequently consuming refined carbohydrates can lead to 'carbohydrate addiction.' Refined carbohydrates have short bonds between sugar molecules, so when they enter the body, they are quickly converted into glucose. To address the rapidly elevated glucose levels, the body secretes excessive insulin, which can result in poor blood sugar regulation and increase the risk of diabetes. When insulin secretion causes glucose levels to drop too low, our bodies crave sweets again. Repeating this cycle leads to frequent carbohydrate cravings. Excessive intake of refined carbohydrates can easily lead to fat accumulation and increase the risk of hypertension and metabolic syndrome.

◇Consuming more calories than usual Snacks consumed with alcohol are a cause of weight gain. Alcohol, which is an unnecessary nutrient for the body, is used as an energy source before carbohydrates or proteins. As a result, even when drinking alcohol, a feeling of fullness does not last long, and the body continuously needs other nutrients. The reason why people keep eating snacks while drinking is also related to this. Therefore, consuming more calories than usual causes the body's energy levels to become excessively high. Excess energy is stored as fat, and high-calorie snacks are especially at risk of being stored as fat. Therefore, if you want to manage your weight while drinking, you should choose high-protein, low-calorie snacks. Examples include cheese, tofu, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Proteins slow down the absorption of alcohol in the body and also help regenerate liver cells damaged by drinking.
