Kim Yong-rim from 'Perfect Life' revealed her vibrant daily life at the impressive age of 80 and shared her health secrets.
On the 16th, Korea's TV Chosun 'Perfect Life' featured the 61-year veteran actress Kim Yong-rim granting an insight into her unique health tips.
On that day, Kim Yong-rim reappeared after two years and said, "I don't have any particular health issues," but also shared, "My body feels a bit different. When I turned 80, I didn't know such things. Starting from 82, after a day of filming, I feel like I need to eat and sleep for two days to feel comfortable.
When Kim Yong-rim said, "So I feel a pressure to work out more diligently," Lee Sung-mi asked, "Are you exercising these days?" Kim Yong-rim replied that exercising is part of her daily life, saying, "I go at least 2-3 times a week. I run on the treadmill for 30 minutes, do weights for 20 minutes, stretch for 10 minutes, and then take a shower.
Lee Sung-mi responded, "It's so admirable that Teacher Yong-rim is only 19 years older than me. I tend to lie down every day when I'm lazy. I often want to lay down. But I think exercising 2-3 times a week is an amazing feat. To me, you only look like a 2-3 year older sister."
In her daily life, Kim Yong-rim went out for a walk from the morning and did stretching whenever she had a chance. When asked why, she explained, "If possible, I should take care of my muscles," adding, "To build muscle, I need to stretch my back leg muscles and calf muscles." In response, Hyeon-young noted, "It's hot, yet your stamina is really impressive."
Kim Yong-rim emphasized the importance of exercise, saying, "The weather is really hot and it does tire me out. Still, I have to keep moving. If I stay still, I feel more sluggish. So I need to move. Since there are many NAMUGA trees, there are times that it's cooler than I expect."
As a result of consistent exercise, she also demonstrated her ability to easily ascend stairs. Kim Yong-rim expressed, "My knees are still fine. I'm grateful I can climb stairs. My friends say their knees hurt, but I'm lucky my knees are still good enough to climb stairs easily." Hearing this, Lee Sung-mi questioned, "Is it okay to say this, Teacher? Did you lie about your age?" and it brought laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Yong-rim drew attention by mentioning her daughter. She shared that since her husband, Nam Il-woo, passed away a year ago, she lives alone with her daughter, saying, "My daughter hasn't married yet. She's the older sister of Seong-jin. With an older mom, she says she can't leave. She claims that being unmarried has been a good decision so far."
At the same time, Kim Yong-rim revealed her concerns, saying, "I occasionally think that parents living in this age of 100 years might be 'burdening their descendants by living so long.' I think it would be okay to live healthily and go peacefully in my sleep, but there's no guarantee of that. Sometimes I have those thoughts."
On the other hand, Kim Yong-rim mentioned that she often eats lightly, stating, "As I age, I have less appetite. When my daughter asks what I want to eat, I tell her there's nothing I desire. It saddens me a lot. I wonder when I stopped having cravings? Occasionally, I can only eat a bit of salad or fruit."
Ultimately, Kim Yong-rim received a BAD rating and was shocked. The doctors who gave the BAD rating advised her to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients.
