[주말엔 운동] “I thought I was in my 30s and I loved exercise”… What is the secret of a 65-year-old grandmother’s ‘slim and firm body’?

[아이뉴스24 신수정 기자] A 65-year-old grandmother with a slim and slender body who belies her age has revealed her secret.

On the 22nd (local time), the British media The Sun introduced Maria (65), a TikToker who is popular for her healthy body and has around 90,000 followers, and shared her secret for her to maintain a body.

According to reports, Maria stressed in her video, “I maintain a youthful figure through exercise and healthy habits, not genetic factors,” and added, “I don’t smoke and I don’t drink alcohol or eat sugar.”

Maria said, “I feel more energetic now than I did in my 30s.

Netizens praised Maria, saying things like, “She looks like she’s at least in her late 30s,” and “Are you really 65 years old? This is a blessing.”

In fact, there is research that shows that people who smoke often get the face faster. The study, published in PLOS Genetics, says that smoking can affect not only your lung health, but also your appearance. The more often you smoke, the more wrinkles your face will have.

Alcohol also removes moisture, dries the skin, and weakens the skin’s immunity. In addition, alcohol inhibits the work of osteoblasts that build bones and inhibits the metabolism of vitamin D, which is involved in the absorption of calcium.

This causes bone density to decrease, making people more susceptible to diseases such as osteoporosis, which often occur after middle age.

Sugar is a shortcut to make your body fat. When you eat more sugar, such as sugar, your blood sugar rises quickly, too much insulin is secreted to bring it down to normal, and the sudden drop in blood sugar repeats itself, lead to ‘insulin resistance’.

In that case, even if you eat a little, you will easily gain weight and not lose it, and the risk of diabetes and coronary artery disease will increase.
