What is obesity
Obesity is a metabolic disease, when the human body eats more calories than consumes calories, the excess calories are stored in the body in the form of fat, the amount exceeds the normal physiological need, and when it reaches a certain value, it evolves into obesity. The essence is an increase in the absolute amount of body fat.
Obesity can be assessed according to BMM, waist circumference, body fat percentage and other indicators, among which body mass index (BMI = weight kg/height m²), ≥24kg/m² is overweight, and ≥28kg/m² is obese.
How to lose weight effectively
Keep your mouth shut
Meals should be chewed slowly and eaten for more than 20 minutes. 7-8 minutes of fullness at each meal, you can eat vegetables first, then meat, and finally the main food. At the same time, it is necessary to eat less refined carbohydrates such as white rice and white flour, which can be replaced by coarse grains such as potatoes, corn, and yams, and eat less or no sweets, fatty meats and fried foods.
However, many people in life over-diet, thinking that eating only vegetables and fruits can lose weight, but the harm of doing so is very great. Long-term intake of protein such as meat and staple foods will lead to unbalanced nutrition, which can easily cause health problems such as weakness, hair loss, chills, gallstones, depression and even arrhythmia.
Step out
To advocate the combination of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, you must choose the sports that suit you according to your ability and hobbies, such as jogging, ball games, swimming, tai chi, Baduanjin, etc.
Sleep well
Many people postpone their sleep time until after midnight because of watching dramas, playing games, watching videos, etc., which not only fails to lose weight, but causes endocrine disorders, which in turn affects the decomposition of fat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that entering a state of deep sleep before 23 o'clock helps to converge yin qi, generate yang qi, and 7~8 hours of high-quality sleep a day is essential for endocrine regulation.
