Cooking researcher Lee Hye-jeong loses 20kg by carrying around this lunchbox…

 

Cooking researcher Lee Hye-jeong (67) revealed her own diet lunch box.

On the 10th, cooking researcher Lee Hye-jeong appeared on TV Chosun's "Healthy Home 2" and discussed the diet she followed while losing weight. "I was diagnosed with stroke, high blood pressure, and early-onset diabetes," she said. She continued, "I decided to diet because I was concerned about my vascular health. I carry around a steamed vegetable lunchbox and eat it." Lee Hye-jeong successfully lost 20 kg using this method. The lunchbox she revealed contained steamed carrots, sweet pumpkin, and boiled eggs. We delved into the health benefits of the ingredients in Lee Hye-jeong's lunchbox.

▷Carrot= Carrots are low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, making them great for dieting. They're especially helpful for boosting your morning energy. This is because they're rich in vitamins, fiber, and other nutrients. Carrot skins are rich in beta-carotene, a key nutrient in carrots. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A when absorbed by the body, which helps maintain skin cells and stimulates sebum and sweat production, keeping skin soft and smooth. Carrots are also good for hair care. The abundance of vitamin A in carrots promotes hydration, preventing hair from drying out.

 

▷Danhobak= Sweet pumpkin is low in calories, with only about 30 calories per 100g. It's rich in dietary fiber, which helps with bowel movements and makes you feel full even after eating a small amount. Sweet pumpkin is also high in vitamins A and C, which help relieve fatigue and prevent aging. The beta-carotene and vitamin E in sweet pumpkin promote healthy nerve tissue. Like Lee Hye-jeong, it's best to steam the pumpkin. Cooking the pumpkin with the skin allows you to consume the powerful antioxidant phenolic acid found in the skin. It also helps prevent cardiovascular disease and aging. Phenolic acid is found only in the skin, not the flesh.

 

▷Egg= Vitamin B12, vitamin D, and choline, found in egg yolks, play a crucial role in helping our bodies convert food into usable energy. Eating boiled eggs, in particular, provides protein and healthy fats, helping you feel full. Therefore, eating eggs can also be beneficial when dieting. Eggs are rich in choline, which is used in the body to create cell membranes and important neurotransmitters. Choline plays a crucial role in improving memory. One egg provides approximately 6% of the daily choline requirement.
