Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo (47) showed himself practicing a low-speed aging diet.

On the 14th, Jeon Hyun-moo posted a photo of his diet on his social media. Along with the photo, Jeon Hyun-moo wrote, "Finally revealed, Jeon Hyun-moo's slow-aging diet," and added, "Tonight on I Live Alone." The photo shows Jeon Hyun-moo taking a selfie after preparing his meal. On the table, there was soybean paste stew along with oats, lentils, and brown rice. Meanwhile, Jeon Hyun-moo had previously lost 13kg last year to shoot a body profile. We looked into the slow-aging diet that Jeon Hyun-moo has announced he is practicing.

Oatmeal contains abundant protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and minerals. About 13-20% of oats are dietary fiber, of which 4-5% is soluble dietary fiber called 'beta-glucan.' Beta-glucan lowers bad LDL cholesterol levels and activates the immune function of cells. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming more than 3 grams of beta-glucan daily can reduce the risk of heart disease. Oats contain more than twice the protein of rice and also have a preventive effect on constipation. Additionally, avenanthramide, a component found only in oats among grains, has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions and is known to be effective in preventing and treating dementia.

◇ Lentils Lentils are one of the world's top five superfoods selected by the American health magazine 'Health.' They are rich in fiber and have a low glycemic index of 29, making them suitable for diabetics and obese patients. The fiber in lentils is highly effective at promoting cholesterol excretion, which helps lower blood cholesterol levels. The glycemic index indicates how quickly blood sugar levels rise after consuming a food. Foods with a glycemic index of 70 or above are classified as high-GI foods. Those with a GI of 56-69 are medium-GI foods, and 55 or below are low-GI foods. However, people with impaired kidney function should be cautious, as they cannot excrete potassium effectively, and eating large amounts of lentils may increase blood potassium levels.

Brown rice Brown rice is an unrefined carbohydrate, making it suitable for weight management. Unrefined carbohydrates refer to nutrients that have not been processed from their natural grain form, thus retaining their nutrients. It is effective in reducing excessive insulin secretion and suppressing weight gain. Additionally, its coarse texture requires more chewing, leading to longer meal times, and it quickly induces a feeling of fullness, making it effective for controlling portion sizes. In fact, a study conducted by a research team at the University of Birmingham in the UK tested 43 college students to examine the effect of chewing time on post-meal appetite. The researchers divided the participants into three groups: one ate normally, another chewed each bite for 10 seconds, and the third chewed each bite for 30 seconds before swallowing. As a result, the group that chewed and swallowed the most was found to have consumed only half the amount of food compared to the other two groups.
