Actress Uhm Jung-hwa, 56, Claims Early 30s Physical Age Due to Strict Diet

South Korean actress Uhm Jung-hwa, aged 56, has revealed that her physical age has been measured as being in her early 30s, attributing this remarkable result to a rigorous health regimen.

“

Recently, I haven't had a check-up, but a few years ago, when I rigorously avoided carbohydrates and sugar, my body definitely got better.

Uhm shared on the KBS 1TV program 'Achim Madang' that her dedication to a diet low in carbohydrates and sugar has significantly improved her health over the years. She also practices intermittent fasting, consuming one meal a day, and prioritizes nutrient intake like protein in the morning.

Her routine includes drinking warm water with salt, lemon, and olive oil instead of coffee upon waking. Uhm emphasized the importance of conscious effort in controlling cravings, particularly for sugar, and consistently reducing intake of sugary and carbohydrate-rich foods.

“

When I had blood tests and physical exams, my age kept getting younger, and when I had it done last year, they asked how much younger I planned to get, reaching my early 30s.

Uhm stated her motivation for maintaining such strict discipline is her desire to continue her acting career healthily for a long time. She believes consistent exercise is also crucial for sustaining her physical condition, enabling her to take on roles like the one in her upcoming film 'OK Madam 2'.

“

I want to continue the work I'm doing healthily for a long time. I want to maintain my body healthily for a long time, which is why I was able to do 'OK Madam 2'.
