"Due to cancer and pneumothorax," Jeong Ae-ri avoids this food to manage her condition... What is it?

Actress Jung Ae-ri (64) revealed her personal breakfast routine that she always eats.

 

On the KBS 2TV entertainment program "Let's Live Together with Park Won-sook," which aired on the 12th, Jung Ae-ri joined the cast as a new member. During the episode, Park Won-sook remarked to the skinny Jung Ae-ri, "You don't seem to eat much," to which Jung Ae-ri replied, "I eat well. Instead, I move around a lot and do yoga when I'm home."

 

"I practice yoga every single day. I even have a yoga instructor certification," she said, sharing her secrets to maintaining her health. On this day, Jeong Ae-ri also revealed her healthy diet, which avoids gluten altogether.

He listed boiled eggs, bananas, boiled tomatoes, and natto as the foods he usually eats in the morning. She continued, "I used to really like wheat flour, but I've been careful since I got sick. I didn't eat it at all when I was undergoing chemotherapy, but I liked it so much that now I eat grain-mixed flour or organic flour." Meanwhile, Jung Ae-ri suffered from six broken ribs and a pneumothorax in a car accident while battling ovarian cancer in the past. Let's take a closer look at the health benefits of the diet plan she revealed.

◇Eggs

 

Eggs are low in calories and rich in protein. Eggs are rich in protein, which makes them highly filling and effective in suppressing appetite. Eggs also help build muscle. Just two eggs provide 20% of the recommended daily protein intake. Egg whites, in particular, contain about 3.5 grams of protein and are low in fat, making them ideal for muscle building. Egg protein is classified as a complete protein, meaning it contains all the amino acids the body needs to function properly. For a healthy diet, it's best to eat eggs cooked in any form. Raw egg whites contain amidine, a protein component in the egg white, which can bind to biotin in the intestines, interfering with its absorption.

 

◇Banana

 

Bananas are rich in fiber and potassium, making them a filling food that reduces appetite. Bananas are also rich in resistant starch, which doesn't spike blood sugar levels, helping to reduce belly fat. Resistant starch keeps you feeling full for a long time, suppresses appetite, and boosts metabolism, making them great for dieting. Green bananas are particularly high in resistant starch, making them recommended for those on a diet. However, be careful when eating them on an empty stomach, as they can have a negative impact on your cardiovascular system. Bananas are rich in magnesium, and if the magnesium levels in your blood vessels increase on an empty stomach, the balance between magnesium and potassium can be disrupted, putting a strain on your cardiovascular system.

 

◇Tomato

 

Antioxidants in tomatoes, such as lycopene, beta-carotene, and lutein, lower blood pressure. Blood pressure is highest in the morning, so eating tomatoes in the morning can help manage symptoms. In particular, tomatoes have the highest lycopene content among existing edible crops, and lycopene content increases as tomatoes are cooked. According to a Cornell University research team, when tomatoes were heated at 87 degrees for 2 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes, the lycopene content increased by 6%, 17%, and 35%, respectively. Tomatoes also have ingredients that aid digestion, making them good to eat in the morning. However, because tomatoes lower blood pressure and cool the body, it is recommended that the elderly or people with low blood pressure eat them cooked rather than raw.

 

◇Wheat flour increases cancer risk, so be careful.

 

Refined carbohydrates, such as flour, have been reported to increase the risk of cancer. A research team from the Department of Nutrition at New York University tracked the eating habits and cancer incidence of approximately 3,200 people for over 20 years. They found that men who consumed a high glycemic index diet, including refined carbohydrates and sugary foods, had a threefold higher risk of prostate cancer. Conversely, women who consumed a high intake of unrefined carbohydrates had a 67% lower risk of breast cancer than those who consumed a high intake of refined carbohydrates.
