Gong Hyo-jin, why don’t you gain weight even if you stay at home? “Drink this tea, which is good for fat breakdown”

Actress Gong Hyo-jin revealed her daily routine for spending the winter healthily at home.

Recently, a video titled ‘How Gong Hyo-jin spends the winter’ was uploaded to Gong Hyo-jin’s YouTube channel ‘Gong Hyo-jin for the time being.’

In the video, Gong Hyo-jin opened up about spending time at home, saying, “It’s hard to go out and move around in the cold winter. Yoji (pet dog) doesn’t even like going for walks.”

He then pondered for a moment, asking, “Why do I have so much to do (at home)?” and then surprised the production team by saying, “Even when I’m at home, I walk almost 6,000 steps.” Gong Hyo-jin also came up with a content idea, saying, “Let’s see how much people move around through cams 24 hours a day.”

He said he usually drinks a lot of tea and recommended a tea he likes to drink. Gong Hyo-jin explained, “In the winter, I drink a lot of teas that are slightly hot. Pork potato tea is very fragrant. As far as I know, pork potato tea is very effective in breaking down fat.”

Walking 6,000 steps a day helps burn calories and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Like Gong Hyo-jin, if the weather is cold, moving your body a lot, even indoors, is good for your health. According to research, walking just 4,000 to 6,000 steps a day can reduce the risk of heart disease and helps burn calories, preventing weight gain due to reduced activity in winter.

Walking 6,000 steps a day is also effective in controlling blood sugar and activating metabolism. This can help prevent and manage diabetes. Walking also promotes the secretion of endorphins, which improves mood and reduces stress. Even walking indoors consistently can help prevent winter depression.

However, if you simply walk at home, the intensity of the exercise may be low, so walking while holding light dumbbells or a water bottle can increase the effectiveness of the exercise and provide additional strength training effects. To protect your feet and joints, it is better to wear soft indoor shoes rather than bare feet.

Other good exercises to do in addition to walking indoors include bodyweight strength exercises such as squats, lunges, and planks. If you combine these exercises with walking, you can further increase the effectiveness of the exercise. Simple stretching before and after exercise can help you maintain flexibility and reduce your risk of injury.

Pork potato tea, good for eliminating intestinal toxins and stabilizing blood sugar

The pork and potato tea recommended by Gong Hyo-jin is actually helpful for dieting. Inulin, the representative active ingredient in pork potatoes, is a dietary fiber that acts as a prebiotic in the intestines. It improves intestinal health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and promotes bowel movements, helping remove toxins from the intestines and manage weight.

Inulin is also effective in preventing overeating by slowing down digestion and maintaining a feeling of fullness for a long time. It has the effect of stabilizing blood sugar, reducing blood sugar spikes and lowering the risk of fat accumulation. Therefore, it can help prevent diabetes and manage weight.

Potassium, which is rich in pork potatoes, excretes unnecessary sodium from the body and maintains body fluid balance, alleviating swelling and promoting metabolism. This can reduce body swelling and make the body feel lighter. Although pork potato tea does not directly promote fat breakdown, it can indirectly contribute to preventing fat accumulation or improving metabolism.

However, drinking too much pork potato tea can cause excessive dietary fiber intake and cause abdominal bloating or diarrhea, so 1 to 2 cups per day is appropriate. Additionally, pork potatoes can help lower blood sugar and blood pressure, so if you are taking related medications, it is best to consume them after consulting a specialist.
