Even if I eat a lot, I don't gain weight 😱😱 Someone... no matter how busy I am, it's because I do 'this🤔🤔' every day

Mukbang creator Hibab (28) cited daily morning weight training and cardio exercise as the secret to eating a lot without gaining weight.

On the 21st, the MBN show 'GabojaGO' featured mukbang creator Hibap. On this day, Hibap revealed, "Our family is naturally a big eater," and said, "I eat up to 25 packs of ramen." He then showed a pantry stacked with over 200 packs of ramen and said, "This is for a week." In response, Ahn Jung-hwan was surprised, saying, "Usually, that's a year's worth for a household." Additionally, Hibap shared his secret for body management, stating, "Every morning, I do weight training and cardio during personal training," and "If I have a schedule and can't go, I exercise during my break." We take a closer look at the health benefits of the weight and cardio exercises Hibap performs.

◇Weight Training

Weight training is an exercise that uses muscle strength to build muscle power, utilizing dumbbells, bands, and various equipment. If muscle mass is low, bodyweight exercises such as squats can also be effective. Increasing muscle mass raises basal metabolic rate. Basal metabolic rate is the minimum energy required for vital functions such as breathing and maintaining body temperature, and increasing it enhances the effects of dieting. Even at the same body weight, having more muscle increases energy expenditure, making it less likely to gain weight. Muscles consume a lot of glucose, which helps prevent blood sugar spikes. However, when doing weight training, it is important to consider your own physical condition. Incorrect posture can easily damage joints. It is better to gradually increase the intensity rather than starting with high-intensity exercises right away.

◇Aerobic exercise

Aerobic exercise is effective for burning body fat and losing weight. In particular, doing aerobic exercise on an empty stomach results in a greater weight loss effect. During exercise, carbohydrates and fats are burned together, but in a fasting state, the body lacks carbohydrates and primarily burns body fat. However, diabetics should avoid exercising in a fasting state, as it can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. Regular aerobic exercise can also help prevent high blood pressure. According to a research team at the National Institute of Health and Welfare, part of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, more than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), reduces the risk of developing hypertension. Moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity refers to exercise that causes sweating or shortness of breath but still allows conversation with others. The study found that the incidence of hypertension decreased by about 31% in men and about 35% in women.

Meanwhile, ramen contains a lot of sodium, and excessive consumption can be harmful to health. When consuming foods high in sodium, the plasma delivers large amounts of sodium to various parts of the cells. At this time, due to osmosis, the cells also absorb water. The water that should circulate through the blood vessels becomes trapped in the cells, forming a kind of edema, which causes swelling, especially in the face where there are many capillaries. The sodium in ramen also induces hypertension. On average, one serving of ramen contains 1800 to 1900 mg of sodium. Eating just one bowl of ramen brings you close to the daily recommended intake of 2000 mg.
