Now there is a tax called IQ tax. After the overwhelming publicity of various drugs and health products for weight loss and fitness, after all kinds of confirmation, all kinds of businesses have hit their faces. When we consumers pay, we label anything that can be related to weight loss as "IQ tax".
After being fooled by all kinds of things, I thought for a long time and asked myself, "Do I still have IQ?" Ok, let's start our probiotic tour today.
So, is probiotics an IQ tax that we have to shed blood and tears on the way to lose weight?
Let's first understand what probiotics are.
Probiotics are in English. Probiotics are a kind of active microorganisms that play a role by improving the balance of microbial flora in the intestinal tract of the host, which can produce a clear health care function, thus improving the microecological balance of the host and playing a beneficial role.
Can probiotics lose weight? Is this thing reliable?
The biggest function of probiotics is that probiotics can synthesize digestive enzymes, thus promoting intestinal digestion and absorption, and can also activate the immune system by itself, thus improving immune ability. Of course, there are more effects, such as reducing the synthesis of sugar and syrup compounds, so as to achieve the effect of losing weight.
Well, some people have said that probiotics are a good thing, so what is there to doubt?
There is no denying that probiotics are very beneficial to the human body. The task of probiotics is to regulate human intestinal flora, thus assisting the immune system and preventing constipation. But these tasks are based on the premise that probiotics can safely reach the intestine through some initial digestive systems. Probiotics need to go through a "difficult and dangerous" journey to reach the intestine. Without any protection, the probability of probiotics reaching the intestine is very low.
At the same time, we take probiotics orally, which has high requirements on the content, strains and components of probiotics. Many brands are mixed here. Although probiotics are added, the content of probiotics is low, the quality of strains is not high, and the final effect is not obvious (even not).
At the same time, in the actual operation process, the intake of probiotics will be accompanied by a lot of sugar, which will produce a lot of calories, which will increase weight. Therefore, the current use of probiotics to lose weight varies from person to person.
Therefore, when we choose to buy probiotics, if we want to promote health by supplementing probiotics, we must have standards such as "specific bacteria", "maintaining activity" and "having enough bacteria" in order for probiotics to play a role. Moreover, different probiotic varieties, the number of viable bacteria, dosage forms, preservation methods and administration methods will also have an impact on their effects.
Consumers must check the manufacturer's qualification before buying, not only who speaks for it, but also whether there is national qualification certification! Drink it in time or put it in the refrigerator as soon as possible after purchase to ensure the activity of the strain.
In short, probiotics help to lose weight, and it is not an IQ tax! !
