Is plastic wrap useful for losing weight? How long will it take to be effective?
Plastic wrap diet is an avant-garde diet popular among performing stars in recent years. Using the low permeability of plastic wrap, the heat in some parts of the body increases sharply, and a lot of sweating burns fat. 1. Choose appropriate exercise, generally jogging or dancing with plastic wrap; 2. Wrap the plastic wrap around the parts to lose weight, mostly the upper thighs and lower abdomen. Wipe a little water on your body before winding, so that the plastic wrap is close to your body and it is not easy to slip off; 3. Drinking 400ml water during exercise is beneficial to sweating and burning fat; 4. Start exercising, pay attention to heartbeat and sweat. Note: Don't wrap it for too long. Wash away sweat stains in time after losing weight with this plastic wrap. Some experts believe that this kind of weight loss remedy is unscientific and can't lose weight fundamentally. Because the limbs are wrapped with plastic wrap, it affects the heat dissipation of the body surface, increases the local temperature, increases perspiration, and then makes the water of local fat cells and other tissue cells temporarily penetrate outward, but this will not increase the consumption of fat. After drinking water and eating, these cells return to their original state. In addition, this will increase the loss of electrolyte, which is easy to cause fatigue and is not good for the body. Wrapping the body with plastic wrap for a long time will make the skin unable to dissipate heat, make sweat accumulate locally, and easily cause skin diseases such as eczema and folliculitis. In addition, plastic wrap itself is a chemical substance, which may easily cause skin allergy and other potential hazards to the body. Some college students in Xi are popular with plastic wrap to lose weight. Medical experts warn that this method of losing weight is unscientific and prone to side effects. Recently, the whole waist of Xiao Ren, a college student in Xi 'an, was surrounded by a small red rash and a red lump. According to Xiao Ren, due to the rising temperature, universities have set off a "weight loss fever". At present, the most popular weight loss method in colleges and universities is the plastic wrap weight loss method. This diet is to wrap the plastic wrap around the fat-thick parts of the body to promote perspiration and metabolism in these parts, so as to achieve the purpose of losing weight. If you strengthen the local exercise of wrapping plastic wrap, the effect will be better. Xiaoren bought plastic wrap and wrapped it around his slightly thick waist, in line with the "hula hoop" action. However, two days later, a large rash appeared on Xiao Ren's waist and he felt itchy. According to an endocrinologist from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi Jiaotong University, there is no scientific basis for the plastic wrap diet and it is not recommended in medicine. Exercise itself can increase perspiration and achieve the goal of losing weight by consuming calories in the body. If you just wrap your body with plastic wrap and don't do local exercise, it won't work. Doing local exercise not only promotes sweating, but also affects the normal evaporation of sweat, which is prone to side effects, from skin allergy to heatstroke. The scientific way to lose weight is to combine a reasonable diet with proper exercise.
