Korean Actress Han Go-eun Opens Up About Menopause and Shares Her Belly Fat Management Tips

51-year-old Korean actress Han Go-eun has candidly shared her experience with menopause.

On October 12, a video titled 'The One Crucial Standard Han Go-eun Used to Choose Her Spouse at 41 (Advice, Q&A)' was released on her YouTube channel 'Go-eun Unnie Han Go-eun.'

To celebrate reaching 100,000 subscribers, Han Go-eun held a Q&A session. One subscriber asked about managing belly fat. Han Go-eun revealed, "As we age, we all have concerns. I've started menopause. When we think of female hormones, we often only consider estrogen, but there's also progesterone. There are two hormones. One of the symptoms of decreasing hormones is gaining belly fat. Body fat doesn't distribute evenly and unnecessary fat accumulates. As we age, everyone worries about belly fat," she confessed about starting menopause.

Han Go-eun shared her personal method for managing belly fat. She explained, "I have a tip that I've been using for two weeks, and it's effective. I juice 1kg of lemons and 500g of limes. I add two spoons of turmeric and one spoon of cinnamon." She continued, "I freeze this mixture in a tray. When you add it to hot water, it melts into lukewarm water. I add honey to sweeten it. I drink a glass on an empty stomach in the morning and another before bed because it's so good." She also recommended, "I suggest drinking lemon tea every morning. It detoxifies and reduces belly fat. Drinking lemon tea helped me lose that stubborn 1kg," she boasted.

Another subscriber asked for tips on maintaining a slim figure with simple exercises. Han Go-eun emphasized, "Many people worry about their waist and belly fat, especially as they age. But nothing beats sitting up straight as an exercise." She added, "Engaging your back muscles to straighten your spine makes you sweat. Sitting upright for just five minutes is challenging. It's the best for losing belly fat," recommending 'sitting up straight.'
