Ballet dancer Yoon Hye-jin, who is the wife of actor Um Tae-woong, shared her current situation managing high cholesterol.
On the 20th, a video titled "Due to high cholesterol, please share your diet! Here it is!!" was uploaded to the 'Yoon Hye-jin's What see TV' channel.
On this day, Yoon Hye-jin explained, "People have been really curious about my diet because I’m managing high cholesterol these days. I exercise in the morning, take a shower, and make sure to have a good meal. Recently, I’ve completely stopped consuming sugars and flour. I will share very simple recipes that will be extremely helpful for everyone."
She said, "The first dish I'm going to show you is bean curd stew. It's a bean curd stew made with soybeans, and while bean curd is a very good source of protein, it's completely packed with dietary fiber. So, it will probably help with bowel movement, it's good for the intestines, and it's really tasty. I’ve always liked bean curd stew. Usually, we add kimchi and meat, but I made it without those, using just bean curd and vegetables."
After tasting it, Yoon Hye-jin remarked, "It's so savory, and it’s really delicious even though nothing has been added. The texture of the vegetables provides a good chew. The lumps of dietary fiber in the bean curd spread in your mouth, making you feel like you have eaten a healthy meal. You haven’t consumed flour or sweets today!"
She added, "Actually, I made this along with barley rice. These days, I’m using mixed grains instead of white rice, completely omitting white rice and using five different grains. You might be wondering what those are. First, it's brown rice. You can adjust the ratio based on what you like, it’s not fixed. I've also added a bit of oats and barley. In addition, this mix contains five grains: old barley, glutinous barley, black barley, rice barley, and job's tears barley. I distribute them evenly to cook rice, and I pack it in a container when I go out."
She continued, "There’s another recipe with grain rice. When you crave something a bit greasy, you can make tomato risotto, which is tuna paired with grain rice. Everyone ate it deliciously. The second dish is tomato risotto with grain rice."
After the dishes were completed, Yoon Hye-jin, along with Um Tae-woong and their daughter, Ji-on, had a meal together and remarked, "It finished in an instant. It’s good for those managing their diets, and it’s also a healthy meal for those who aren’t. I love this bean curd very much. Please eat a lot of healthy food, everyone."
