SBS knowledge and health entertainment program 'Three perspectives' expands the concept of dieting from simple weight loss to the problem of 'toxic residues (toxins)' accumulated in the body.
In the Jan. 4 (Sun) 8:35 a.m. broadcast of SBS 'Three perspectives', the show examines, from three perspectives—history, science and medicine—why the recurring New Year's resolution of 'dieting' is more familiar with failure than success. The broadcast points out that "repeatedly starving yourself and cutting back without properly understanding why you gain weight causes repeated failures."
On this episode, special guest Ayumi appears and honestly shares her realistic dieting experiences. Ayumi, who says she has lived with dieting since her idol days, surprised the studio by revealing that "after pregnancy, my weight increased by about 20kg." She continued active work after childbirth, including appearing on football variety programs, but confessed that "dieting was still not an easy task," drawing empathy from many viewers.
By contrast, actor Kim Seok-hoon said that thanks to a body type that does not easily gain weight, "I haven't been particularly conscious of dieting," drawing envy from the cast. However, he revealed candid feelings about changes in body shape after middle age that no one can avoid, saying, "the belly fat that accumulates with age was unavoidable."
From the historical perspective, the program highlights how long dieting has been a human obsession. Docent Lee Chang-yong introduced the dangers of corsets popular in 16th-century Europe through a scene from the film Gone with the Wind and presented brutal dieting tools actually used in the 17th century, shocking the recording studio.
He explained that "people in the past also pushed their bodies to extremes for beauty, but today the abundance of civilization itself creates an environment that makes our bodies fatter." Science writer Kwak Jae-sik pointed to "ultra-processed foods" as one cause of modern obesity. Showing various food ingredients directly, he scientifically explains why the more processed a food is, the easier it is to gain weight. Internal medicine specialist Choi Jeong-eun introduced research results showing that consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with "not only obesity but also an increased risk of 32 diseases and death," raising public awareness.
The broadcast pays particular attention to the toxins produced by ultra-processed foods, called "sugar toxins." Sugar toxins are toxic residues that can slowly accumulate in our bodies and cause obesity as well as various diseases. This episode offers clues on how to reduce and manage these sugar toxins, increasing curiosity. For those who have wondered about the reasons for repeated diet failures, this broadcast is expected to provide an opportunity to rethink those causes.
MC Kim Seok-hoon and So Seul-ji, science writer Kwak Jae-sik, docent Lee Chang-yong, internal medicine specialist Choi Jeong-eun, and special guest Ayumi together examine the essence of "sugar toxins" and "dieting" from three perspectives on the 28th episode of SBS 'Three perspectives,' which will air on Jan. 4, Sunday at 8:35 a.m.
