Ahn Bo-hyun, who appeared on the SBS entertainment program ‘Strong Heart VS’ broadcast on the 16th, revealed his own tips for maintaining his body. When asked what Jeon Hyun-moo’s secret is to not gaining weight even if he drinks a lot, Ahn Bo-hyun said, “I think I killed a lot of chickens. “I eat chicken breast as a snack,” he answered. Is chicken breast actually a good snack for body maintenance?
◇Complacency, high risk of accumulating fat
Snacks eaten with alcohol can cause weight gain. Alcohol, a nutrient that the body does not need, is consumed before carbohydrates or proteins used as energy sources. Because of this, the feeling of fullness does not last long even following drinking alcohol, and the body continues to require other nutrients. This is why you constantly drink snacks when drinking alcohol. Therefore, you consume more calories than usual, resulting in more energy in your body than necessary. Excess energy is stored in the form of fat, and especially when eating high-calorie snacks, the risk of it being stored as fat increases.
Alcohol itself also causes belly fat. Alcohol, a source of sugar, increases the level of cortisol, a stress hormone, in the body. Cortisol affects fat cells in the body and inhibits fat breakdown. Abdominal fat cells respond best to cortisol, so when you drink alcohol, fat naturally accumulates in the abdomen.
◇I like high-protein foods such as chicken breast and tofu.
If you want to manage your weight while drinking, it is best to choose protein foods such as chicken breast, tofu, and cheese as snacks. Protein slows down the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the body. In addition, high-protein foods make you feel full even if you eat just a small amount, so they are good for controlling your snack intake. Protein also helps regenerate liver cells damaged by drinking.
However, drinking alcohol alone without snacks is prohibited. This is because it can increase the risk of developing liver disease. Cirrhosis refers to liver inflammation that persists for a long time, causing the surface of the liver to become lumpy and hard. According to a study published in the journal ‘THE LANCET’ in 2019, under the condition of drinking the same amount of alcohol, people who drank alcohol alone without a meal had up to twice the incidence of liver cirrhosis compared to people who drank alcohol with a meal.
