1, a hormone that helps to lose weight
1. Insulin stimulates appetite
The two main factors affecting appetite are insulin and glucagon secreted by pancreas. It's all hormones
When you eat, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps nutrients quickly reach the inside of cells and convert them into energy for the body to consume. If you fast or exercise for a long time, the pancreas will secrete glucagon. At this time, people will feel hungry and even have a better appetite than usual.
Irregular diet or eating too much sugar will increase the blood sugar content and insulin content. And the increase of insulin will stimulate you to eat more sugar. It's like a vicious circle: eating sugar-increasing insulin-wanting to eat more sugar. The result can be imagined: the waist circumference increases in a circle.
Countermeasures: replenish energy in time after work or exercise. Especially for lunch and dinner, be sure to eat on time. Of course, the food is also very particular. It should be nutritious and not contain too much sugar. Vegetables, fruits, grains and other low-calorie foods are good choices.
2. Insulin-The older you get, the easier it is to get fat.
Eating too much often leads to a vicious circle: the pancreas needs to secrete more insulin to process food. At the same time, because large fat blocks are not easy to decompose, when the body gains weight, it needs to secrete more hormones to help digestion and absorption. To make matters worse, long-term high insulin content will lead to diabetes. In recent years, the increase in the number of children with diabetes is mostly caused by overnutrition and uncontrolled diet.
With the increase of age, the effect of insulin will weaken. Scientists believe that this is also the reason why women are more likely to get fat as they get older.
Countermeasures: If you don't want to get fat with age, you should carefully balance the relationship between diet and exercise. It is difficult to lose weight only by eating low-calorie food. Only by combining exercise with diet can we reduce the negative effects of hormones on the body.
3. Cortisol-overeating under pressure
When stressed, the adrenal gland secretes a hormone called cortisol to ensure that people have enough energy. Without the help of cortisol, it is difficult for us to maintain a tense working state under great pressure. Unfortunately, cortisol can also stimulate people's desire for food, especially sugar and fat. In fact, scientists have found that women with high work pressure have higher cortisol content than ordinary people. They like to eat more than ordinary people.
No matter how intense and busy you are at work, the calories you eat will not be consumed. Over time, the flat abdomen is getting bigger and bigger, gradually bulging, and a "swimming ring" appears at the waist.
Countermeasures: do exercise every day. It can not only regulate the secretion of hormones, but also relieve the pressure brought by work and life. Scientists point out that in order to maintain an optimistic and healthy state of mind and body, you should exercise at least five times a week for at least 30 minutes each time. Walking slowly and yoga are both effective ways to relieve stress.
