The core secret to Namkoong Min's weight loss and health management is his self-made 'banana-ma juice.' He drinks this as a meal replacement. The juice is prepared by blending banana, ma, nuts, misugaru (a roasted grain powder), and a protein drink.

"Blending all the ingredients in the morning makes it taste nutty and is also healthy," Namkoong Min explained. "It's easy to digest even on an empty stomach in the morning, which greatly helps with daily activities."
