Recently, the "sleep diet" is very rammed, and the practice is as simple as its name suggests. As long as you supplement four amino acids half an hour before going to bed every day, you can obviously feel your pants loose for half a month. Seeing this, the beauty must not be impulsive. Let's ask an expert to evaluate whether it is really effective.

Chen Yanfu, author of "220 Magical and Symptomatic Fruits and Vegetables Juices" and nutritionist of the Joint Nutrition Consulting Center, believes that if you have a balanced diet, a normal work and rest, regular exercise habits and no chronic diseases, it may be helpful to supplement amino acids.

Promote the secretion of growth hormone

He pointed out that amino acids are the synthetic raw materials of growth hormone (HGH for short), and some amino acids can also secrete growth hormone. The secretion of growth hormone will decrease with age. In the past, it was not easy to get fat because the secretion of growth hormone was still very strong. When you are old, eating casually may make you fat. One of the factors is that growth hormone secretion is getting less and less.

Growth hormone is secreted at night, which will consume body fat, promote the growth of bones and muscles, and accelerate the burning of body fat. If we can increase the intake of amino acids and promote the secretion of growth hormone, we can increase human metabolism and help to lose weight. Therefore, some people call "sleep diet" "amino acid diet".

Chen Yanfu further explained that amino acids can be divided into essential amino acids and non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be made in the body, but must be ingested through food, such as meat, milk, fish and eggs. The human body can synthesize nonessential amino acids.

The human body needs eight essential amino acids. Chen Yanfu suggested that it is best to take it from food, because the amino acids in food are complex, diverse and complementary. For example, soybeans lack methionine and grains lack amino acids. If you can drink a cup of soybean barley soup, you can get a relatively complete set of essential amino acids.

Nephropathy patients should not try.

"Although the' sleep diet' may be effective in theory, don't forget the existence of' physical differences'. Chen Yanfu said that people often use effective slimming methods, but if they use them themselves, they don't work. Because everyone has physical differences, it may be safe to know whether an individual is suitable or not after trying it yourself.

For those who want to try the "sleep diet", Chen Yanfu suggested drinking 240 ㏄ sugar-free soybean milk or half a banana half an hour before going to bed every day for 28 days. If you want to try more accurately, you can also supplement the safe amino acid products on the market, but don't buy large cans at once. It is best to take 30 as the test standard. In addition, he also reminded patients with kidney disease not to try.
