"I've never had fillers or Botox"... Han Ga-in manages her beauty with 'this food' instead of procedures?

Actress Han Ga-in (42) cited inner beauty rather than procedures as her secret to maintaining her appearance.

On the 25th, the YouTube channel 'Free Wife Han Ga-in' posted a video titled 'How does the beautiful Han Ga-in manage her beauty? (First time on broadcast)'. In this video, when asked if Han Ga-in is a natural beauty, she replied, "Yes. I haven't even tried fillers or Botox." When asked about her self-care secrets, she said, "I'm very interested in inner beauty," and added, "For example, I like things like cherry concentrate and lemon-related products that are high in antioxidants. Things I can do through food." When asked how many supplements she takes daily, she responded, "It varies depending on the time," and "It depends on my condition. When a cleaning service came to organize my house, they said they've never seen a house with so many medicines like this one." In the video, Han Ga-in's supplement drawer was shown to be filled with various nutritional supplements. We explore in detail the health benefits of cherries and lemons that Han Ga-in takes regularly.

◇Lemon is known to be effective for skin health. One lemon contains about 18.6mg of vitamin C. The vitamin C in lemons helps reduce aging, skin wrinkles, dryness, and damage. It also aids collagen synthesis, enhancing skin elasticity. In fact, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that citrus fruits like lemons are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, which are excellent for improving skin condition. Flavonoids have a remarkable calming effect when the skin becomes red due to ultraviolet rays and external harmful environments. Additionally, they inhibit melanin production, helping to whiten the skin. Lemon is especially good when mixed with water. Lemon water provides a feeling of fullness and improves mitochondrial function, which helps generate body energy and promotes smooth metabolism. According to a study at Oakland Children's Hospital in the United States, among 173 overweight women, those who drank lemon water showed a greater reduction in weight and fat compared to those who did not.

◇Cherry Cherry is also good for skin health. Cherries contain a component called 'proanthocyanidin.' This compound is a pigment found in red fruits that has antioxidant properties and protects the skin from external harmful environments. The stratum corneum of the skin periodically sheds and is replaced by newly keratinized layers, and proanthocyanidin accelerates this process. As a result, new skin is generated, leading to whitening effects and softer skin. Additionally, cherries are rich in melatonin, making them effective in alleviating insomnia and regulating circadian rhythms. According to a study by Louisiana State University in the United States, adult participants suffering from insomnia drank cherry juice twice a week for two weeks, and they slept 84 minutes longer than before, with improved sleep quality. However, when eating cherries, care must be taken to avoid consuming the seeds, as cherry seeds contain a toxic substance called amygdalin. Amygdalin disperses in the body and causes toxic reactions. Especially in children and people with low body weight, the toxic effects can be more severe, so caution is necessary.
