I’m worried because I’m gaining more weight as fall approaches. Even if you reduce the amount of food you eat and exercise to lose weight, once the weight is gained, it is not easy to lose it. What’s wrong with me? Let’s reexamine our lifestyle habits.

The problem is that we can’t forget ‘sweetness’… What about ionic drinks after exercise?

Even if you reduce the intake of fatty and high-fat foods, which are said to be the cause of obesity, if you do not forget the sweet taste, you will gain weight. If you eat less and enjoy processed foods such as sweets that are high in sugar, you are in trouble. When too much sugar enters the body, the remaining sugar turns into fat and accumulates. Even if you rarely eat rice or bread, you will gain weight if you eat sweet foods. If you are on a strict diet, you should refuse the electrolyte drinks commonly consumed after exercise and only drink plain water. This is because some electrolyte drinks may contain sugar.

Sugar, starch syrup, etc. in natural foods such as kimchi… Obesity – exposure to disease risk

Sugar is high in calories and low in nutritional value, so if you eat too much of it, you will gain weight and it is bad for your health. Even if you exercise to lose weight, a bottle of cold drink can cause mast cells to grow. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends reducing sugar intake to less than 10% of the amount eaten (total calories). For one meal (2000 kcal), sugar should be less than 50g. However, sugar is found in many foods. Sugar is also added to various natural foods such as kimchi and side dishes. Starch syrup, as well as processed foods made in factories, contain high fructose corn syrup. If you are careless, you will greatly exceed the recommended daily intake.

Are you just gaining weight?… The risk of diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver also increases.

The most important thing is that if you eat a lot of sugary foods and frequently, not only will you gain weight, but your risk of diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver will increase. In addition to processed foods, you should also reduce the sugar and starch syrup that you habitually add to food to make it taste better. Let’s use natural ingredients such as onions. When you cook onions, the pungent smell is reduced and the original sweetness is restored. If you eat a lot of sugary foods and drink sugary drinks often, your healthy body will inevitably change.

Sugar in daily life must be moderated… Plain water is the safest

When drinking beverages, drink plain water instead of cola or cider, which has high sugar content. It is better to drink white milk than banana milk or chocolate milk. You should also refrain from adding sugar to coffee (data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency). Of course, you should be careful about processed foods such as ice cream, cookies, and cakes. 100g of cookies or biscuits contains 22-30g of sugar. Even fruit drinks advertised as unsweetened contain about 12g of sugar. Plain water is the safest. Types of tea without sugar, such as barley tea, which have disappeared a lot compared to the past, are also good. You can gain less weight and stay healthy by being conscious of ‘being careful of sweet tastes’ in your daily life.
