Does drinking prevent muscle growth and burning fat?
Everyone knows that drinking too much is easy to get fat, but the latest research shows that the calorie of alcohol is not the only reason for obesity. Alcohol can not only reduce the body's fat burning, but also promote appetite and affect endocrine, so that you can consume less fat and lose more muscle. As a result, you can imagine that your stomach is bigger, but your muscles are less. 1. Alcohol hinders fat burning. One gram of alcohol equals 7 kilocalories. People used to think that drinking too much wine would turn into fat, but it was not. The latest research published in the American Journal of Clinical Medicine shows that only about 5% of alcohol will be converted into fat, but the body fat consumption will drop by 73% after drinking. In other words, the body stops consuming fat and uses alcohol as fuel instead. It is not difficult to see from here that people's physical adaptability is very strong. If there is more fuel, they will use it without consuming fat. 2. Alcohol stimulates appetite. Drinking and eating are often combined. Alcohol is also a substance to stimulate appetite. The same meal, if accompanied by alcoholic drinks, will often make people have an appetite. White water and carbonated drinks have far less appetizing effects. Alcohol can affect endocrine. A large amount of drinking may lead to an increase in cortisone secretion and a decrease in testosterone secretion. The direct result is that the body will consume muscles instead of synthesizing them. If you drink a lot after exercise, your muscles will break down even more. To sum up, drinking a lot will not only have a lot of calories, but also inhibit the body from consuming fat, promote appetite and reduce muscle. Advise friends who want to lose weight not to drink too much, especially after exercise. Don't drink more than 200ml of red wine and 600ml of beer at a time. \ x0d \ x0d \ Alcohol inhibits androgen secretion. Why do men grow muscles more easily than women? Why do boys have lower body fat than girls? The biggest reason is that the androgen level of men is about 20 times higher than that of girls. Androgen is a weapon to gain muscle and reduce fat. Generally speaking, male androgens have shown a downward trend after the age of 30. This is also one of the main reasons why many men tend to get fat after 30 years old. Excessive drinking will make things worse. Alcohol can inhibit androgen secretion for 3~4 days. Although binge drinking looks manly, physical alcohol will make drinkers less manly. Besides, alcohol will weaken your strength and endurance. Drinking alcohol at night leads to dehydration or poor sleep, which directly affects the training state of the next day. This state of depression can last for 48 hours. If you drink it two nights a week, the training four days a week is basically wasted, and it is not surprising that the effect of increasing muscle and reducing fat is not good. \x0d\\x0d\ If you must drink, try to control it once a week and try not to drink too much each time. \x0d\\x0d\ What if there is entertainment? First of all, business doesn't have to be discussed on the wine table. You can have tea and coffee. A business that needs alcohol to negotiate may not be a reliable business. Friends don't have to get together on the wine table. Times are different. Meeting for drinking is not as good as meeting for fitness. It is often said abroad that business is discussed on the golf course. Partners who protect each other in the gym may be more reliable than fair-weather friends who insist on getting each other drunk.
