As the Korean New Year approaches, Seoul Asan Hospital cautions against the excessive intake of high-calorie foods common during the holiday. These include yakgwa (traditional honey pastry) leading the list with 420 calories per 100g, followed by dishes like tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties), and various traditional delicacies. The nutrition team suggests healthier cooking methods, such as using air fryers and reducing sugar, to enjoy these festive foods without overindulging. Additionally, they recommend post-holiday light exercise and a diet shift towards vegetables for recovery.
