Eom Jeong-hwa, “Blood circulation improves”… Eating olive oil ‘like this’ in the morning?

Actress Uhm Jung-hwa revealed her morning routine.

Recently, Uhm Jeong-hwa posted a video containing healthy daily management methods on the YouTube channel ‘Umaizing Uhm Jung-hwa TV’. In the video, Uhm Jung-hwa was seen drinking water since morning. He said, “I drink water first when I wake up. I drink hot water first, then cold water and mix it in a 1:1 ratio.” “The moment I drink this water, I feel really comfortable in my stomach, which is great,” he explained.

He then introduced a special method of drinking olive oil by cutting a sliced ​​lemon and adding the juice. Eom Jeong-hwa said, “I mix olive oil with lemon juice. This is the method I used to eat a lot when I was trying to eat low-fat, but I recommend it to those who have difficulty eating olive oil alone.” He added, “It’s good for blood circulation, purifies the body, and is delicious.”

Drinking a glass of water in the morning… has the effect of balancing moisture in the body and eliminating waste products.

Like Eom Jeong-hwa, drinking a glass of water in the morning brings many health benefits. First, we lose water while we sleep. Water is naturally released from the body through sweat and breathing. According to the American Physiological Society, people lose an average of 500 to 700 ml of water per day during breathing. This moisture loss continues even during sleep. Therefore, if you wake up in the morning and drink water, you can quickly restore the moisture balance in your body.

Hydration also increases the amount of blood and lymph fluid and helps excrete waste products. It promotes the digestion process, promotes metabolism, and stimulates intestinal movement, which also has the effect of preventing constipation. It is also beneficial to skin health, maintaining skin elasticity and improving wrinkles.

However, when drinking water in the morning, it is best to avoid cold water as much as possible. Like Eom Jeong-hwa, it is important to mix cold and hot water to maintain a lukewarm temperature. Suddenly drinking cold water can put a strain on the stomach, slow down blood circulation, and overstimulate the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to cardiac abnormalities such as arrhythmia. Rather than gulping it down, it is better to drink it slowly, at intervals of at least 5 minutes.

Olive oil + lemon… Enjoy the antioxidant effect while also having a diet effect

Olive oil and lemon, introduced by Eom Jeong-hwa, are a food combination that can greatly benefit from antioxidant effects. Olive oil is composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids, which helps maintain blood vessel health and prevent aging. Unlike saturated fatty acids, which clog blood vessels and cause weight gain when consumed in excess, unsaturated fatty acids unclog blood vessels. It is good for preventing aging and cancer by lowering the level of inflammation in the body, and also has the effect of improving digestion by helping intestinal activity.

If you add cut lemon, which is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, to olive oil, the antioxidant effect will be further increased. In particular, vitamin C in lemon is known to be a powerful antioxidant with effects such as cell protection and strengthening immunity. Lemon contains 53 mg of vitamin C per 100 g. Vitamin C is a substance involved in collagen synthesis and can also help reduce skin wrinkles and dryness.

As Eom Jeong-hwa mentioned, it also helps with diet. Lemon has the effect of promoting the discharge of waste from the body and aiding fat metabolism. However, eating lemon alone can cause stomach upset, but eating it with olive oil, which suppresses gastric acid secretion, can reduce heartburn. However, people with weak stomachs should avoid eating lemons on an empty stomach if possible. Even if you eat it with olive oil, you must be careful because the acid in lemon can irritate the gastric mucosa.
