Life & style


Have you ever heard about Neat diet?!

 Today, people become full, improving technology. But in vice-versa, many people are fight against in being obese. Although especially women are not fat, they want to have more and more skinny body. So Let me introduce an interesting idea to help burn calories without hard excercise.

 What is Neat diet?
 It is the abbreviation of Non-Excercise Activity Thermogenesis(비운동성 활동 열 생성)

 For Neat diet, how about doing this activity in our daily life???


The First, stand when you are in public transportaion

 It reduces 22Kcal more than when you seats.
( seating : 36Kcal standing: 58Kcal)

The Second, use baskets when you are in the mall instead using the cart

It reduces 49Kcal more than when you use the cart.
( cart : 66Kcal basket  basket : 115Kcal)

The Third, use stairs more than using elevator

If the building has 5th floor or so, you had better to ascend stairs.
( five stairs : 247Kcal)




If we pay a little attention to our life ,  we may have beautiful body. :)









What is the Health food in winter?!

 Winter already has come. Our body shrinks because of cold weather. Then why don't we   eat for our body to endure these cold days?  Let me introduce what is good for us to eat .

The First is sujeonggwa
Sujeonggwa is a Korean traditional fruit punch. Dark reddish brown in color, it is made from dried persimmonscinnamon,gingerpeppercorn and is often garnished with pine nuts (http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%88%98%EC%A0%95%EA%B3%BC)


 This makes our body warm. This helps to protect our body from biting cold, because thi s heats our body. This tea also good for healing when we have a bad cold. 



 The Second is bibimbap

 Bibimbap (Korean pronunciation: [pibimbap]) is a signature Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed meal." Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sujeonggwa)


  This consists of a lot of vegetables that it helps to make up for our shortage nutrition, because people are usually careless of vegetable intake. Eating vegetable makes our immunity system more strong. 



The third is oyster

 The nick name of oyster is 'sea of calcium', which has two times more than milk. 

When eating about five to six raw oysters you are receiving the daily recommended allowance 
of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus, according to the GlobalGourmet website. Oysters are low in cholesterol and high in a variety of vitamins. Raw oysters include vitamins A, C, D, as well as thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. A serving of six to eight medium raw oysters contains about 69 calories and 55 mg of cholesterol.

I am surprised that how good oyster is. I don't like raw oyster, but I will try to eat this whenever I have a chance. 






How about going out for enjoying winter season?

 In winter, people usually don't want to go out and wander around. But too much spending time in indoor is not good for us physically and psychologically I think. So let me introduce what place is good for in this season.

  •  Sangam World Cup Park
It already opened outdoor skating rink and sled-riding ground on Dec.4. The skating rink covers a space of 1,800 square meters and the sled-riding area covers a space of 540 square meters. It is so large to enjoy skating with lots of people. If skating, it kicks out cold weather. For convenience, the two recreational facilities are surrounded by a resting area and a shelter for storing personal belongings. This park includes the big mall and theater. So If people are tired to skating, they can rest on with seeing the movie. After taking the exam, I will go.






  • The Garden of Morning calm (아침고요수목원)

If you are tired in busy life and want to take a rest in peaceful atmosphere, how about going to this place? 

This garden can show the mixture of human culture and nature. Seeing just picture makes me calm. The nature has a power to purify our mind I think. In third picture, I can see the flowers bloom in winter. It proves for me a prejudice that it is desolate in winter.  

This is way to go. It places near Seoul, in Gapyeong.



 Soon, winter vacation has come. So it is time to go away out of daily life. 







Lunar eclipse occurs on 10th Dec

lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from striking the Moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_eclipse


The very phenomenon arises on Thursday. Many people crowded in the park and observatory to see this sight.  I was so excited to seeing this, because it doesn't usually happen. In the past, old people thought this red moon is the evil omen. But science has become developed then this superstition proved to be wrong. Anyway this natural phenomenon had occurred 11 years ago. and I've heard that next lunar eclipse in Korea will happen in 2018

This red moon looks dreary. I fully understand what old people thought of this red moon.






Be careful  wearing high-heels


Many women enjoy wearing high heels which is the standard of women' fashion icon. I am also woman that we had better be careful when wearing high heels especially in winter.  Because if our body heat goes down, it has more chance to have a strain women' ankle. Moreover, usual high heels are not comfortable to wear. So it can be dangerous to women' health.



“We found an increased risk of pain in the rear legs of the woman who likes to use high-heel shoes that the model looks more attractive,” said one member of the research, Alyssa B Dufour from theInstitute for Aging Research of Hebrew SeniorLife


 Meanwhile, several elderly women who used the sports shoes or sneakers at a young age, proved 67 percent less risk of pain in the calves than those who frequently wear high heels.

 If people wore high heels to look good, they maybe sacrifice the most important thing - good health I think. Medical advice says if you wear high heels occasionally you should not cause any long term damage to your feet, however if worn excessively serious and even permanent damage can be caused. 


And We should remember these types of shoes cause problems like corns, bunions, and hammer toes. They also cause you to have an unnatural body position which can cause problems with your back, hip and leg muscles.
