Fashion designer Ji Chun-hee (70) revealed the secret to her youthful appearance.

In KBS 2TV’s ‘The Boss’s Ears Are Donkey Ears’ broadcast on the 3rd, the meeting of Ji Chun-hee, Kim So-yeon, and Ahn Hyun-mo was revealed.

On this day, Ahn Hyun-mo prepared yogurt, vegan scones, and a healthy snack acai bowl for Ji Chun-hee. Ahn Hyeon-mo said, “Sir, you are a great gourmet,” and Kim So-yeon asked, “Do you cook ramen at home?”

In response, Ji Chun-hee surprised people by saying, “I don’t boil ramen and eat it. I don’t buy ramen. I’ve never even bought instant rice.” He said, “I don’t buy it because I don’t like temptation. “If I don’t have it, I can’t eat it,” he said, boasting of his thorough self-management skills.

Eating a lot of refined carbohydrates such as ramen accelerates aging.

Ramen, which Ji Chun-hee says she does not eat, is a representative refined carbohydrate food. Excessive consumption of ramen, white bread, white rice, and flour foods can not only lead to obesity but also accelerate aging. This is because carbohydrates combine with proteins to create AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products), which affect aging.

AGEs damage the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers. This causes skin elasticity to decrease, wrinkles to increase, and the skin to become hard and rough. Additionally, as AGEs accumulate, the regenerative ability of skin cells decreases, increasing oxidative stress and promoting skin aging.

The excessive sodium in ramen can cause your face to look swollen or enlarged, which can also make you look older. An appropriate amount of sodium is necessary to maintain nerve and muscle function, but if it is excessive, water metabolism in the body may not be carried out smoothly and the body may swell.

To slow down aging, you need to reduce refined carbohydrates and eat plenty of vegetables and protein.

Therefore, if you want to look younger, it is best to avoid refined carbohydrate foods and salty foods, including ramen, if possible. Instead, eat a balanced diet of grains and high-quality protein. If you eat ramen, reduce your sodium intake by adding less soup or at least avoid eating rice with soup.

When boiling ramen, add vegetables such as green onions, bean sprouts, angpya, cabbage, tomatoes, and spinach to supplement the lack of dietary fiber. Vegetables rich in dietary fiber prevent ramen’s saturated fat from being absorbed into the body and prevent neutral fat and cholesterol from accumulating in the blood vessels. In particular, eating potassium-rich vegetables such as beans, spinach, avocado, mushrooms, carrots, and water parsley can help eliminate sodium.

To slow down aging, your daily diet is also important. A representative example is the ‘upside down eating method’. The reverse eating method is to eat vegetables or herbs first, then meat or fish, and finally carbohydrates such as rice and noodles in that order.

If you eat dietary fiber, such as vegetables or greens, first, your blood sugar will rise slowly and you will feel full for a long time, preventing overeating. Additionally, dietary fiber is digested more slowly than other nutrients, so proteins and carbohydrates are also digested and absorbed slowly.
