"Simply Changing Your Breakfast Habits Can Make a Big Difference" Expert Shares Recommended Methods
Three Meals a Day, Even a Simple Breakfast Is Essential
"Avoid Refined Carbohydrates and Simple Sugars"
Experts have stated that simply changing your breakfast routine can help reduce inflammation in the body.
On March 24, Jaedong Lee, Professor of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at Kyung Hee Medical Center, appeared on the YouTube channel "Your and My Retirement School," where he shared advice on aging, intermittent fasting, and breakfast habits.
Professor Lee particularly warned that starting intermittent fasting without proper preparation can actually be dangerous. He explained that for people with a "thin obese" body type—those with cold hands and feet and low muscle mass—intermittent fasting could lead to further muscle loss and a decrease in basal metabolic rate.
He strongly recommended eating three meals a day as a healthy dietary practice. If you are unable to have a full breakfast, he suggested having a simple meal such as a boiled egg or soy milk, and consuming cabbage salad, cucumber, or carrots, as these options support energy production and proper functioning of the body's organs.
On the other hand, he also shared foods that, while difficult to avoid entirely, should be consumed with caution. Refined carbohydrates like flour and white rice, as well as simple sugars found in soft drinks and ice cream, are quickly stored as body fat. Even fruit juice, which is often considered healthy, should be consumed with care due to its high sugar content.

Alcohol consumption is also best avoided, but if you have no other choice, he recommended steering clear of fermented drinks such as beer and Makgeolli, and instead choosing distilled spirits like whiskey. He added that if you do drink alcohol, you should rest for two days afterward to allow enough time for your body to break down the alcohol.
