Food science

Many will lose weight in specific circumstances, the time or activities, resulting in loss of appetite, because they have specific things and "eat" with Lenovo, and in doing so, people would be hungry. For example, eating breakfast every morning newspaper and watching every night while watching television Chi Lingzui. As a result of these things and "eat" have a close relationship, so do these things, people will want to eat something.

"Eat" and other well activity, not only because of these things have a loss of appetite. The body only really need to add heat when hungry, this is not a fairy tale, the instructor can use the following five methods to help control unnecessary weight loss diet.

(1) regularly eat Chin

If you were to lose weight many times a day to eat something, then that the time for those who feel he would want to eat something, so to develop a timetable for his help. Regular meals may not be the traditional three meals a day's meal time, but according to his own practice, to find out the most appropriate schedule.

For example; he fixed seven o'clock in the morning to eat breakfast, put into the schedule. If he felt the need to evening snack, and fill it into the schedule. Control the number of meals, including three meals a normal diet, remember not to ask too much weight, so that his own election to put up with a plan.

To follow a timetable to help those who lose weight will not be thinking, to concentrate on the implementation of the plan. For example: The plan is a late night 21:00, 8:15, even in the hungry, you can consider this a little really hungry, or just want to eat something. May decide not to Zairen for a while, over 45 minutes after the normal meal time to eat.

The following is a place designed for weight loss diet schedule:
Time and content of meals
7:00-7:20 Breakfast
Dim Sum Breakfast 10:30-10:45
1:15 a 12:30 lunch
Dinner 6:25-7:00
9:00-9:20 Supper

To guide those who want to lose weight this: as far as possible to act according to the table, occasional violations do occur, but must fully cooperate with the timetable. Other times when hungry, were clearly the best, the kind of "hunger" is a real feeling of hunger, or because of other factors caused by loss of appetite.

(2) Do not eat up the food plate

This guidance also need to remind those who pay attention to weight loss. I believe my mother's rules: "plate to eat up things!" Everyone is familiar words. Do not waste food is a good thing, but in the end plate into the air before eating, a little like you.

When you eat food after the Jingguang 000, which represents the amount you eat is for you to prepare meals the people decide. Unless this person and you have a tacit understanding to know how much energy you need to add, or less than that is not excessive, can never be just right. We meal Sheng used to help people, there will always fantastic, that is to say, you will be too much intake of calories. When you used to eat food after the clean, you will be subject to immediate food, unless immediate things to eat are finished, otherwise you will not stop.

To lose weight to control their own efforts to change the habit of eating the food. Unless really hungry, otherwise, try to eat every time, so are some of the residue left after, like two peas and a small mouth mashed potatoes and so on. This is the only way to control their own food quality and quantity, and not by those who best food.

(3) slowly

Many people eat when they are devoured, and monosodium glutamate and hurry off food, only water like Dragonfly time, and tasteless food. This use eat delicious meals and enjoy the fun greatly reduced. More importantly, eating too fast could lose their wariness, to accidentally eat too much.

Physiological functions, will be enough time to automatically issue a "satiety" signals: "Enough! Enough! Can not manage any more." This process would take about 20 minutes, and very complicated, involving units, including: stomach , In the small intestine hormone and other factors. If you eat fast, in order to reach possible before too much intake of food. As a result, could derail the physiological function of internal controls.

Therefore, to guide those who want to inform those who lose weight to slow down the speed of eating, the body can not train derailment, such as sight. To lose weight from small to large who have been eating tens of thousands of meals, which means he may have been devoured million on the experience, it is necessary to remove such deep-rooted habit is not easy to guide those who need to lose weight are advised to have patience, perseverance Practice the following methods until the eradication of old habits, develop new habits.

There are two ways to make the eating of slowing down, as while driving to remember hitting the brakes, so that we can taste the delicious food.

① 2 in the food between the knife and fork down, go
To eat every bite of food, they lay down their forks, well, chewing mouth full of food, and then swallow it slowly, then cross the mouth of another food. Using soup spoon is the same hand with eating the same food in between 2 pause to rest.

② slightly during the meal break
During the meal to break slightly, at the beginning of the rest only 30 seconds, but we can take the time to lengthen the time, one minute, two minutes, the final goal is to a standstill for three minutes of time, can be used to recall their own eating just Those of food, and then coolly decided to eat the number of things. These practices can help you eat more. To experiments on animals and found that the animals eat to be interrupted after eating, even if the term of office, he ate his food intake does not go as the more.

(4) to concentrate on eating

Some will lose weight eating at the same time to do anything else, such as some of my favorite things, answered the phone, watching TV, reading magazines and so on. There are two shortcomings of such acts: first, so that eating with other activities linked to their own will not be bound to have a loss of appetite. Second, do not concentrate on tasting food, the body absorbs heat, but it will not have a "full".

The findings revealed that many: Some people lose weight by eating a half bag of popcorn, 45 small biscuits, 22 bars, crunchy or three-quarters pounds of assorted dried fruit, only to absorb the heat did not enjoy the taste of food.

Therefore, the guidance may be recommended to concentrate on eating to lose weight, such as looking for other time watching television, and then look at the television or eating fresh look at-the-art television. By the time to eat, such as reading, and not to eat when reading. "Eat" the experience should be simple, do it, and other activities linked together.

If this sounds not the intention to lose weight, because it shows that he has the hearts of the kind of deep-rooted concept of "food" and other activities linked, the more hate in his heart of this approach, the more he needs it.

(5) between meals for more than 6 hours

After each meal, sitting and lying rest should be avoided, it is best to actively engage in a variety of day-to-day activities. 6 hours of continuous work, will produce the feeling of hunger on an empty stomach, this time to eat again, will find delicious food at the field. By engaging in the activities of informal content. For example: housewife can do housework. ; Students can study or do an easy exercise; office workers can handle official business, or take a walk, and so relaxed and happy. In addition, at the same time with bathing, gymnastics, rest, in order to achieve weight loss goals.

How to make use of sauna to lose weight?

Sauna originated in the Netherlands, the Chinese people it is usually referred to as steam bath, in a number of large hotels, restaurants, nursing homes have been set up, is gradually being more and more people accepted, and a lot of people try Use it to carry out a weight loss.

Sauna really do to lose weight? We have had a doubt. To observe a number of obese patients in the trial process, a certain degree of efficacy, but only for simple obesity with no serious complications are more appropriate. Sauna carried out before the first wash skin with warm water several times, and then enter a sauna, available at the beginning of 40 ℃ ~ 50 ℃ in temperature, since tolerance has been heating up again, the role of high-temperature steam, to speed up the skin moisture The evaporation speed up the frequency of breathing, so that fat consumption increased, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss, simple obesity with mild edema, is particularly suitable.

Sauna weight loss on obese patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease in obese patients, and so on, should not be used for the treatment of people who can not meet the sauna should not be optional.

Brown fat and obesity

It is well known that obesity is due to the result of too much body fat, body fat sub-fat white and two brown fat. The latest study found that obese people tend to have more of the brown adipose tissue. Brown adipose tissue is considered to be a special Secretary of heat, brown adipose tissue to reduce or function, the function of the body heat production will be reduced, it will also reduce energy consumption. German scholars have found that brown adipose tissue thermogenesis through the realization of the receptor.

From the physical point of view, the human body's energy intake and consumption, to maintain a certain balance, both to increase intake of energy or reduce consumption will lead to abnormal energy metabolism, resulting in obesity. Furthermore, energy consumption is divided into at the time of resting energy expenditure and energy expenditure of exercise, resting energy expenditure at the time of thermal energy accounted for 50% to 70%. Movement of the increase in energy consumption of course, play an important role in obesity, but when the rest of the reduction of energy consumption are obese have played an important role to another.

Obese basal metabolic rate is often lower than normal. Basal metabolic rate, as reflected in the human body is resting in a state of energy consumption, specifically refer to the body's energy metabolism in the rate of clear-headed and very quiet state, free from muscle activity, ambient temperature, food and affect factors such as stress .

With further research, in recent years of resting energy expenditure Research has made some progress. Obesity on the survey found that some obese people do not eat more than normal and sometimes even eat less than normal, although some also took part in the campaign, but still no drop in body weight. Therefore of the view that these obese there is a low energy consumption, nutritional intake is to say that they rarely consumed in the form of thermal energy, but the more nutrients into energy stored up. Researchers in the body of a newly discovered brown adipose tissue, obesity can be explained this anomaly.

Weight loss is not anti-disease

Muffle closely with film preservation of fat on the body parts of the exercise, but do not want to appear large thighs and abdominal rash and fever caused. Yesterday, the 22-year-old female college student summer to the small hospital in Wuhan City in the first dermatology clinic, the diagnosis, she found suffering from skin rash and ulcers occur and cause inflammation of the groin lymph nodes.

According to doctors, a lot of young women using wrap film preservation movement weight loss methods, that they muffle the site than the local package did not sweat more, you can speed up the fat burner. In fact, the surface of the skin caused by a confined environment will plug the sweat glands, sweat poor; at the same time sweat in surface acidic ingredients will stimulate the skin and cause folliculitis, skin rashes and so on. In addition, the film itself is fresh chemicals may cause skin allergy.

Doctors remind the broad masses of women friends, film preservation muffle the body to lose weight is not a part of science, this approach enables local temperature, moisture easily off the body, who looked thin, but not consumed fat . In fact the best sport in the human body temperature of 37.2 ℃, but man-made body temperature rise is not conducive to health.

◇ remind health

Two big boys hardly a learned advice crab asthma relapse

Doctors are reminded of the history of asthma in children should not eat crabs

The autumn wind, crab fat, Chi Xie is now a good time, but delicious crab is not suitable for everyone to enjoy. To remind doctors, who have a history of asthma in children should not eat crabs.

Yesterday, hardly a learned advice greedy as a result of the two crab Xiaoming as a result of an asthma attack into the hospital, doctors diagnosed after an asthma attack led to the crab is the culprit. To remind doctors, who have a history of asthma of children, parents must step up protection awareness, as far as possible to avoid allergens. Reporters learned from the Wuhan City Hospital, in the near future pediatric asthma patients account for out-patient pediatric medical groups 1 / 3.

It is reported that during the long vacation because Zouqin Qi, in order to honor a Xiaoming, the host made a special crabs, the appetite to eat a noisy Xiaoming, though parents know that children have asthma can not eat crabs, but lost his hard - Soft-wrapped grind, or let him eat two. After the results immediately, "effective", Xiao-Ming immediately catch up, the parents rushed him into the hospital.

Pediatric hospital, shrimp, crab, and other seafood are rich in protein, people with asthma after eating prone to allergies. National Day vacation period, as a result of eating crab, shrimp, and so lead to an increase in children with asthma. In addition, due to the autumn wind, the dust in the air, and other allergic material increase in the near future, patients with asthma in children
Account for out-patient pediatric medical groups 1 / 3.

Experts stressed that the incidence of asthma after medical treatment in a timely manner, particularly on the past history of asthma in children, it is necessary to avoid allergens.

Treadmill exercise to lose weight choose Know

We have been running recognized as a better method of weight loss, but running to lose weight should also pay attention to details, otherwise it will be counter-productive.

After jogging to lose weight is proven to be a good method of weight loss, running on the body that there are many advantages that the men, women and children can take part. But how to scientifically choose the amount of exercise is all about. Their training requirements are different, different purpose, such as the athletes to improve performance requirements, to win glory for the country; most people to exercise and strengthen the body; many people to lose weight, body-building in order to maintain the vitality of youth. The purpose, the training methods, natural methods are different. From here, body-building point of view, to talk about the main exercise or weight loss, body-building for the purpose of the campaign, should be running and how to choose the amount of exercise.

Biochemical study found that exercise: running start in 5 minutes, the heart of the campaign in order to adapt to the body and adjusted significantly faster heart rate, heart pump increased, but the extent is uneven, referred to as "the heart to adapt" . Running for 5 minutes after the heart has to adapt, beat a strong, uniform pump, and at any time based on the size of the exercise to be adjusted.

In the run within 20 minutes, the movement to provide energy is stored in the body's glycogen, particularly muscle glycogen and liver glycogen, as sugar in aerobic conditions can be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide, releasing a lot of energy. Running 20 minutes, most of glycogen depletion, the main source of energy into the body fat. Fat to be used when broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, glycerol can be oxidized for energy, fatty acid and then into acetyl coenzyme A, after metabolism, into a part of the sugar to provide energy. As the oxygen demand can be for fat, and thus the strength in the running to achieve the degree of hypoxia, can not rely on the oxidation of fat to provide energy.

Would like to remind everyone to exercise for the purpose of the running time should not be less than 5 minutes, or else to improve heart and lung function without help. More than 5 minutes of running, the longer the duration, heart and lung function of the exercise, the better it. As for the running speed is less important, according to their own physical strength to adjust. To lose weight to body-building for the purpose of the running time should not be less than 20 minutes to slow down the speed to keep breathing evenly. 20-minute long-distance race will not only slow the body's glycogen depletion of a large number, but also to the use of body fat. Due to the slow and long-distance running is not severe, the body will not make too much oxygen and therefore contribute to fat consumption, so as to achieve weight loss. It should be noted that the first long-distance race in a month, as a result of increased weight loss will rise slightly, but the first 2 months of body weight will soon be dropped. If the stop running, should be reduced daily physical activity and exercise time, so as not to cause "rebound obesity."

Who is suitable for weight loss surgery?

Severe obesity in patients with the combined often with heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure and sleep apnea syndrome, so that normal life and work are restricted. In China, as living standards and dietary changes in the structure, more and more obese patients. According to the latest statistics, over the past 10 years China's obesity rate has been close to the United States for 50 years the growth rate in 2001 was the first time included in the incidence of obesity in the world rankings. At present, the main method of weight loss have taken the gastrointestinal tract lipase inhibitor, gene therapy and surgery. For severe obesity in the usual method of weight loss surgery may be null and void when.

In the United States, body mass index BMI = weight / height 2, more than 40 tips for severe obesity surgery is the scope, and in BMI between 35-40 suffering from heart and lung diseases caused by obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, and so is the scope of the operation . As a result of China's different ethnic origin, in the general body weight over 200 jin suffered from pathological need to guard against the possibility of obesity, weight loss surgery should be carried out.

Surgical methods restriction on food intake or block the digestive process in order to achieve the purpose of weight loss, surgical methods used are:

Limit the capacity of the stomach. Use of gastric banding surgery and gastric-band vertical angioplasty, can accommodate only a 1 oz of food Wei Dai, Wei Dai-stomach to other parts of the caliber of 1 / 4 inches. Wei Dai patients after surgery due to the existence of the impact and the emptying of food after eating a small amount of food will have a sense of fullness in order to meet the dietary restrictions of patients. But the long-term effects of surgery and Statistics found that 60% of patients after a few years will be a marked increase in body weight and even returned to preoperative levels.

Another method is a shortcut gastrointestinal surgery, the surgical method used to reduce the stomach to limit food intake of patients, at the same time to reduce the stomach and small intestine low line to form the "short circuit" in order to reduce the calorie and nutrient absorption . As a result of this operation restrictions on the capacity of the stomach at the same time reduce the intestinal absorption of nutrients to the area, the more obvious weight loss.

Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, a subsidiary of the use of 608 cases of gastrointestinal surgery shortcut to the statistics show that obese patients after surgery can reduce the 40% -75% of the excess part of the body weight, 30% -40% of patients to restore the ideal body weight, surgery After 1-2 years after the weight is basically kept at a constant level. Have combined Ⅱ patients with type 2 diabetes insulin dosage was decreased to 78% of the patients from insulin dependence. 50% of patients with hypertension improved significantly reduce blood pressure medicine. Cardiac function improved significantly reduced cardiac hypertrophy. 70% of patients with sleep apnea syndrome were significantly lower, 40% radical.

Virus might be the key to obesity

Was a common human infection of mice or chicken are not infected more easily than the growth of fat. They also found that the same virus is also a lot of obese people were found, so the virus is likely to lead to human obesity.

University of Wisconsin researchers found that a common human infection of mice or chicken are not infected more easily than the growth of fat. They also found that the same virus is also a lot of obese people were found, so the virus is likely to lead to human obesity.

In four experiments, the researchers will adenovirus -36 (adenovirus in a family) to the vaccination on chickens and mice. Most of adenovirus can cause the common cold, influenza and diarrhea.

A few months later, those who have been vaccinated adenovirus -36 weight of the animals are not vaccinated more than 7% of the group, and with the body fat is not against the group twice.

Nikhil Dhurandhar members of the research said: "This is the first animal has been proven to cause human obesity virus." This is also the first study of the virus, so that other human viruses it will also lead to obesity.

-36 Adenovirus choice because it is a relatively simple operation, and little is known about the virus. They are about to study in the International Journal of Obesity published monthly 8. The latest research indicates that not all obese due to the virus, but the virus may indeed play an important role.

An unpublished study pointed out: "Obesity among the crowd of about 20-30% -36 adenovirus infection, and infection rates are only wasting 5%. As in the past few years, people have found that many chronic diseases are due to infection Rise, the experts of the research team's findings are not particularly surprising.

There are 3 kinds of micro-organisms that may have been led to the blockage of blood vessels in the past has been that because of long-term ulcer or stress caused by poor diet, and now know that Helicobacter pylori-related.

In addition, several animal viruses known to cause human or animal fat. But adenovirus is -36 to increase the fat content of the first human virus. Researchers do not know how adenovirus -36 lead to obesity, than non-infected animals infected animals eat more, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption rather than increasing appetite caused by obesity.

Dhurandhar, a professor that the virus has increased the number of fat cells to store more fat. Animal virus-induced obesity and adenovirus -36, which is part of the damage to the brain to control appetite and lead to obesity. Wisconsin group had not adenovirus -36 infected animals found in brain damage.

Paradoxically, animals infected with the virus, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, obesity and cholesterol in human and higher triglyceride levels. Atkinson said: "We need more research in order to obtain better results, now they are said to create an anti-virus vaccines to prevent obesity is still too early."

Women after taking contraceptive drugs will be weight gain

At present, the clinical use of contraceptive drugs in the main ingredients for more synthetic estrogen and progesterone. According to its role in the different functions can be divided into simple-inhibiting ovulation, and anti-implantation effects of three types of functional uterus. According to its major components contained in the use of form, route of administration and use of different contraceptives can be divided into complex, sequential-type, such as different types of contraceptives.
A small number of women (2% -5%) use contraceptive drugs, weight gain may be the case, which in the past with the use of contraceptive drugs contained estrogen and progesterone slightly larger amount, as well as women about their health situation. For example, contraceptive drug contained in progesterone can affect the body's synthesis process, so that the weight gain. The estrogen in the body can cause Shuinazhuliu, can make the weight. You might ask, why only a small number of people this happens? This personal and health-related. At present, the use of third-generation contraceptive drug, such as pregnancy-Connaught (Noregesfimate, NGM), gestodene (Gestodene, GSD) has been substantially reduced estrogen and progesterone in, it can be said that the use of contraceptives such little The body of glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and hematology result in any adverse effect on the vast majority of users will not cause weight gain problem, but a very small number of physical medicine such sensitive women are still likely to arise Trouble. Fortunately, in this case to stop the use of contraceptive drugs will disappear soon after. If a female friend in the use of contraceptive drugs after weight gain, may wish to discuss with your doctor wide, is the choice to see the replacement of a new kind of a good article contraceptives, or to use other methods of contraception a good try.

The same weight of fruit and vegetables in one with more energy

If a piece of fruit and vegetables or a glass of fruit juice and a cup of vegetable juice taste so that everyone, I believe that the conclusion must be the same. That is a sweet fruit, and vegetables is a faint smell. By the sweetness of fruit produced sugar contained, which is contained in fruits and vegetables the difference between the number of energy. In general, fruits and vegetables than the energy contained in meat; low food animal eggs. However, if these two types of food and then comparison, the energy contained in vegetables generally lower than the fruit. Generally speaking, every 100 grams of vegetables are energy contained in less than 146 kJ (35 kcal). For example, 100 grams of cucumber contains 46 kJ of energy, 100 grams of yellow bean sprouts contain only about 67 thousand joules of energy, and 100 grams of fruit in general are energy contained in 146 kJ (35 kcal) above.

Obesity and breast cancer

Female breast cancer and obesity and high-calorie diet, weight control and adjust the diet to prevent breast cancer can not be ignored.

Overweight and obese women suffering from breast cancer significantly increased the risk. Especially after menopause can increase the risk of 4.51-12.38 times. Women with abdominal obesity was mainly spindle-to hip, thigh fat was the main type of pear. American scholar of 216 breast cancer patients, found that waist-to-hip ratio of greater than 0.77, the relative risk of breast cancer than 3 times higher than normal, the ratio of greater than 0.8, the relative risk than normal 6 times as high. Women's hip and thigh fat is not easy to eliminate, but relatively speaking, breast cancer and cardiovascular disease less affected. Abdominal obesity, on the contrary, although it easier to eliminate, but cardiovascular disease and breast cancer have a greater potential hazard.

Obese women suffering from breast cancer, axillary lymph node-prone. U.S. researchers recently confirmed the 656 invasive breast cancer patients found that a thin woman, 33% of axillary lymph node metastases, and who are obese have 66%. Obese women suffering from breast cancer, the relative effectiveness of the operation was not so satisfactory, the recurrence rate was also higher than non-obese.

The incidence of breast cancer, development and estrogen, the body fat of women in addition to ovarian estrogen secretion, there adipose tissue can be generated considerable estrogen, estrogen, the higher the level of the more susceptible to breast cancer.

Long-term intake of high calorie diet lead to overweight and obesity. Often eat fried or deep-fried food, the risk of breast cancer increased 1.6 times. Shanghai had 537 patients with normal-control study and found that fat intake more than those who suffer from the relative risk of breast cancer increased 2.72 times that of postmenopausal women more than fat intake, increasing the relative risk of 3.53 times. Less activity, due to the relative excess heat, the incidence of breast cancer has also increased accordingly. Investigation showed that the women's movement did not occur the risk of breast cancer than those who sports a high 1.86 times.

The type of fat and breast cancer close. Canada diagnosed with breast cancer and scholars of the 666 female patients, their investigation confirmed the previous year's intake. It was found that the intake of animal, the more unsaturated fatty acids, the more prone to lymph node metastasis, and the plant's intake of unsaturated acid does not have this phenomenon. Acid intake of saturated up to a group of 51% of lymph node metastasis. At least a group of only 41% of lymph node metastasis. It would appear that in older women to eat less animal fat and vegetable oil replace it with an appropriate, prevention and treatment of breast cancer and coronary heart disease as a whole.

Beware of obesity death

Recently, the International Congress on Obesity announced that the global obesity due to the number of people died over the same period the number of people worldwide die of starvation. China's population of obese and 90,000,000 people, accounting for 8% of the total population, the urban population of 17% for the obese; city's population, obesity accounted for the city's total population of more than 30%. In this regard, international and domestic medical profession believe that the obese non-infectious diseases the main risk factor is a potential killer so that it will be quietly emerged obese sugar and lipid metabolism, cardiovascular disease and fatty liver disease, and so on, until death. Academy of Military Medical Sciences researcher, said Yang Zhigang specific, first of all obese people threaten to breathe.

As we all know, when people gain weight, the lungs have to transport more oxygen supply the necessary human, but not because of lung weight gain and a corresponding larger. In addition, under the hypertrophy of abdominal fat also limit the activities of the lung's breathing. This was followed by blood pressure endanger. Prone to high blood pressure in obese people, if not corrected in a timely manner, could lead to stroke, heart and kidneys and other organs in varying degrees of injury. Once again has a detrimental effect on the heart. More emphasis on the human body, the heart of the greater load, so obese people suffering from heart disease than the general high. When the fat deposition in the myocardium of the heart or the next film, which will form the heart fatty heart dysfunction. There are endangering the blood vessels. Excessive accumulation of fat in the artery wall, will become smaller blood vessels, causing blood vessels rupture and even leading to stroke or heart attack. In addition, obesity will endanger the liver. Human liver is one of the most important organ, the long-term alcohol abuse and suffering from diabetes, obesity and so on can cause fatty liver, which caused liver necrosis, leading to cirrhosis. The other would endanger the islet. Almost all of them obese diabetic patents, research indicates that 70% -85% of body weight to alleviate a condition will be improved. Endanger the bone: obesity can not bear the weight of the bones, often caused by swelling and inflammation of the joints. Endanger future generations: the obese pregnant women will easily give rise to difficulties in production or extend the production time and affect the health of the fetus. Severe obesity, in addition to difficulties in pregnancy, maternal and fetal mortality rate is also higher. Why is it causing obesity? Experts believe that the main causes of obesity 5: eat more, exercise too little, the spirit of factors, genetic factors and endocrine disorders. One bulimia and obesity are Baoyin culprits. According to statistics, currently the business community, middle-aged women and young people easier to obesity, especially among young people more and more obese, the reason for this is that excessive consumption of fried food and high-fat, high calorie foreign fast-food-induced. Now that medical science tells us that fat is to eat out, it also shows that obesity can also "eat" it. Specific requirements are as follows:
1, control of energy intake. According to the degree of obesity, the daily caloric intake than usual to reduce 500-1000 kcal. If you reduce the energy of 500 kcal per day, 7 days to lose weight 0.5 kg (0.5 kg body fat content of about 3,500 kilocalories of heat). However, adults must not be lower than the daily intake of 1,200 kilocalories, or the human body can not get enough nutrients.
2, to achieve nutritional balance. In the heat of the restrictions, reasonable arrangements for the protein, fat and carbohydrate intake, inorganic salts and vitamins to ensure adequate supply. Protein: eat lean meat, fish, eggs and soy products. Fat: Chi Feirou, nuts, oils and fats, fat intake per day should be strictly controlled in less than 40 grams. Carbohydrate: limit the consumption of cereals and sugar. Inorganic salts and vitamins: fresh vegetables and fruits from around 500 grams or so.
3, the adoption of a healthy diet.
1) quantitative three meals a day. It is estimated that young men and women of the day, food intake is as follows: 500 grams of food, an egg, 100 grams of lean meat, fish, 150 grams, 200 grams of beans, vegetables and 500 grams, 200 grams of milk, vegetable oil 25 grams.
2) slowly. Experts have been testing, obese men with a 8-10 minutes after eating the food, suffering from weight loss were spent 13-16 minutes before eating; obese woman spent 11-13 minutes after eating the food, was thin woman needs 15-18 After minutes. Limit the speed of fat people eat 19 weeks after the men's weight 4000 g, 4500 g weight women.
3) eat more and more dynamic. Research data show that the fat man and little distinction Shouzai at night, roughly equal to the consumption of energy. The key is during the day, less fat, the body tends to slow activities in-house, resulting in the accumulation of heat into fat.
4) eat snacks, sweets and sweet drinks. For example, every 100 grams of peanuts, chocolate can generate at least 500 kilocalories of heat, which is equivalent to 150 grams of staple food to eat into. In addition, the "diet" in the process of weight loss, but also the need to increase exercise. "Diet" in order to reduce the intake of energy, so obese people lose fat, "the material basis"; "movement" in order to more efficiently and effectively the excess fat consumption. Experts pointed out that 20-30 minutes of exercise a day, so that the energy consumption of 300 kcal or so, about 1-2 weeks to make weight loss of about 500 grams. There are ways of training and playing, rope skipping, climbing, running, swimming or even up and down the stairs, walk also is an exercise. It is worth recalling that aerobic exercise should be sustained and must not give up. If you stop training, will increase the size of fat cells, thus preventing the weight back to the level before the campaign, and even rebound to more fat than the original also. It has been determined, the consumption of 3,500 kilocalories of heat, can reduce body weight 0.5 kg. If you are not eating, walking 1 hour a day, a month will be able to consume 3,600 kilocalories of heat, will be able to drop weight 0.5 kg, 6 kg that year.
