Ex-GNP Leader Reveals Health Secrets

Park Geun-hye, former Grand National Party leader, appeared on MBC TV’s ‘Live Today Morning’ on the Star Health Secrets corner. At the question, “What is your waist size,” she freely revealed her size.

“26 inches and a half,” she said.

Park also revealed the interior of her house in Samseong-dong, Seoul and showed off the hypogastric breathing exercises she has been doing for more than ten years.

When the reporter commented, “Your hands are very soft. But I think you must give many handshakes. What’s your secret?” she also revealed the skin maintenance method she learned from her mother. She said, “After you wash your hands with glycerin, alcohol and lotion, apply it to your skin. It’ll manage your skin well without any feelings of tightness.”

She added, “My weight is the same as before. It’s almost the same as it was when I was in my thirties and forties.” She is now in her fifties. She says not overeating to maintain the same weight is the secret of her health.

Afterwards, she appeared in the kitchen with an apron, to come up with a bibimbab with vegetables, hot pepper paste, and sesame oil. Adding, “It’s the wisdom of our ancestors. Without pepper paste and sesame oil, think how tasteless it would be,” and gave the reporter a taste of it herself. Park says she rarely eats breakfast, and two or three times a week she is able to eat at home.
