Actress Moon So-ri (50) announced that she is quitting alcohol during her management.

On the 24th, the YouTube channel 'Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong-yeop' posted a video titled 'Did Shin Dong-yeop also get caught up in the original sister's story, who used to be strict and had a commanding presence?' In the video, Moon So-ri, when asked if she drinks alcohol at home, replied, "I sometimes drink with my husband, but I don't drink alone," and added, "When I have filming or activities for about three months a year, I stop." She continued, "Actually, these days I am also in a period of abstinence, so I am maintaining moderation and going to dawn yoga." Additionally, Moon So-ri was seen drinking lemon water she brought herself. What effects might abstaining from alcohol, which Moon So-ri is managing, have on health?

In reality, alcohol is the enemy of dieting. Alcohol is a source of sugar that accumulates fat in the abdomen and raises cortisol levels in the body, leading to belly fat. Cortisol affects fat cells in the body, inhibiting fat breakdown, because abdominal fat cells respond most readily to cortisol. Additionally, alcohol interferes with protein synthesis in the body, preventing muscle formation and maintenance, which relatively increases the amount of fat in the body.

Snacks eaten with alcohol are also problematic. Alcohol, which is an unnecessary nutrient for the body, is used up before carbohydrates or proteins that serve as energy sources. As a result, even after drinking, a feeling of fullness does not last long, and the body continuously needs other nutrients. This is also why people tend to keep eating snacks while drinking. Therefore, more calories than usual are consumed, leading to an excess of energy in the body.

Therefore, the best way to lose weight is to abstain from alcohol during dieting. If you must drink, choose low-calorie snacks. It is better to accompany fruits or salads rather than greasy foods. Eating a light meal before drinking to increase satiety can help reduce the amount of alcohol and snacks consumed, preventing weight gain.

Meanwhile, the lemon water that Moon Sori carries and drinks helps with weight loss. It provides a sense of fullness and enhances mitochondrial function, which aids in energy production and promotes smooth metabolism. According to a study by the Oakland Children's Hospital research team in the United States, among 173 overweight women, those who drank lemon water experienced greater reductions in weight and body fat compared to those who did not. However, no matter how good lemon water is, it is best not to drink it on an empty stomach in the morning. Drinking on an empty stomach can stimulate the stomach lining due to the acidic content of the lemon.
