This kind of reaction is very similar to the fever after exercise, which may make people mistakenly think that they can play the same role as exercise in losing weight. As we all know, the real reason for losing weight by exercise is to consume a lot of energy, and fever is only an accompanying phenomenon. Expanding blood vessels and speeding up blood flow may speed up local metabolism to some extent, but there is no study showing that applying capsaicin to the skin will have obvious weight loss effect.
Lose weight and choose equal intensity exercise.
Applying pepper paste is not a reliable way to reduce fat. As far as exercise mode is concerned, the oxidation rate of fatty acids is ideal during low-intensity and moderate-intensity exercise, and the peak of consumption rate is about 65% of the maximum oxygen consumption when the exercise intensity is 65%. So, if you want to lose weight, remember to choose moderate-intensity exercise, so jogging, cycling and swimming are all good choices to lose weight.
Eating habits are also important.
Eating habits are also important. If carbohydrates are ingested before exercise, the consumption rate of fatty acids will be significantly reduced, and this inhibitory effect is particularly obvious for moderate and low-intensity exercise, and the inhibitory effect can last for up to 6 hours. Therefore, people who want to lose weight can reduce the intake of carbohydrates (rice flour, rice) before exercise, focusing on foods rich in protein and cellulose (eggs, meat, etc.). ).
