Even obese individuals should be cautious, cautious, cautious

 

Actress Shin Se-kyung (34) introduced her favorite foods.

 

On the 8th, a video titled "Banila Co BANILA CO" was uploaded to the YouTube channel, featuring "Shin Se-kyung's Special Interview | An Interview Where Eye Contact Means the End | Finally Hosted the Barco Queen Shin Se-kyung! | Non-coercive Door-to-Door Sales King EP.03." In the video, Shin Se-kyung said, "I have a favorite eel soup restaurant, and I really love eel soup." She continued, "I like eel soup, but eel tempura is also really delicious."

 

Loach soup, which Shin Se-kyung has expressed her fondness for, is considered a food that becomes more appealing in the fall. Additionally, the loach, the main ingredient of loach soup, is in season during autumn and has a plump, tasty flesh. Loach is a health food that contains various nutrients beneficial to the body. It is rich in high-quality protein, making it known as a food that replenishes energy after the heat of summer has subsided. In particular, loach uniquely contains a large amount of vitamin A among animal-based foods. Vitamin A helps strengthen and protect the skin, boosts resistance to bacteria, and aids in preventing night blindness. It is also rich in vitamin D, which is good for bones.

 

The fat contained in mudfish is composed of unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA and EPA, which are effective in preventing arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes. However, since mudfish contains a significant amount of fat, excessive consumption should be avoided. Additionally, the slimy mucus of mudfish is mainly composed of 'mucin.' Mucin protects the gastrointestinal tract and aids in smooth digestion, but it is not easy to consume as a food ingredient. Foods containing mucin are often considered unappealing, such as snakes, snails, and frogs. Catching and consuming wild animals also increases the risk of bacterial contamination, which is not good for health.

 

Chueotang is a dish prepared in a way that allows you to consume all the beneficial components of loaches. Since it is made by boiling the fish whole without discarding the bones and internal organs, it can increase calcium intake. It is especially recommended for elderly people with low bone density. It is also good to serve it with Sichuan peppercorns, as they help mask the fishy smell of the loach. Additionally, loaches can be grilled or coated in batter and deep-fried whole.

 

However, the broth of chueotang contains a high amount of sodium, so caution is needed. Especially for patients with hypertension or those with edema, it is better to consume less of the broth. High sodium levels can increase fluid volume in the blood and other bodily fluids, worsening symptoms. The amount of side dishes such as kimchi should be properly adjusted to avoid excessive sodium intake. Chueotang has a low calorie content of about 49 kcal per 100g and provides a strong sense of fullness. However, when eaten together with rice or side dishes, the total calorie intake increases, so obese individuals should also be cautious.
