Many women tend to have a big belly when they reach middle age. Why is this? In fact, the formation of a big belly is not only because of eating too much, exercising too little, but also because of too much pressure. How to eliminate the big belly caused by stress?
Faced with different pressures every day, the adrenal cortisol in the body remains high for a long time, which not only greatly increases the weight, but also induces another urban disease: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and this urban disease is more likely to make you paunch.
In the face of obesity caused by stress, we should start with diet and decompress at the same time. A low-starch diet can effectively help you improve IBS and lose weight.
Stress causes cortisol in the secretory glands of IBS to help accumulate fat, so that fat can be converted into extra energy at any time when the body and mind are stressed. However, if the pressure is not stopped, adrenocortical cortisol will continue to send signals to fat cells, leading to a large accumulation of fat in the body, resulting in a greatly reduced rate of burning fat. When people are in a bad mood, they will continue to eat for psychological compensation, which is a vicious circle and also induces IBS.
IBS is a very common intestinal dysfunction, characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, abdominal distension, and abnormal defecation (diarrhea or constipation), most of which are women. Among them, constipation is the most likely to make you potbellied. In order to solve the problem of weight gain caused by stress, food regulations must be relaxed and face the problem positively. But in order to prevent IBS, you should also choose your food carefully when eating.
1, starch and protein should not be eaten together.
Protein needs acidic digestive juices (hydrochloric acid, gastrin, etc. ) to decompose, while starchy foods need alkaline digestive juice (saliva, etc.). ) to decompose. If you eat starch food and protein food at the same time, the digestive juice secreted by the digestive tract is acidic and alkaline. The acidic digestive juice is neutralized by a large amount of hydrochloric acid, and the starch food can't get enough alkaline substances to decompose, so it becomes alcohol and enters the intestine, causing a large amount of gas accumulation, which protein can't get.
2. Eat fruits, starches and protein foods separately. Fructose, the main component of fruit, will be digested quickly and then absorbed directly by the small intestine. But both starch and protein will stay in the stomach for an hour or two, or even longer, and react with liquid before entering the small intestine and being absorbed.
If fruits are eaten together with one or three of them, they will be hindered, stagnated in the stomach, and rot at the high temperature of104 F. All the food rotted in the stomach will be converted into alcohol and toxins, causing various diseases.
3. The function of eating fruits and vegetables at different times is to clean and eliminate toxins. The function of vegetables is to provide nutrients (vitamins and minerals). If you eat them at the same time, your body will not absorb them well.
However, raw lettuce and celery can be eaten with fruits, which will help the body digest and absorb fruits, make the intestines healthy, and naturally there will be no constipation.
4. Eat only one kind of starch or different starches or protein from protein for each meal. The digestion time is different, and different digestion and secretion are needed to help digestion and absorption. If you eat two or three kinds of vegetables in your stomach at the same time, even the same starch or protein will not conflict, but it will also hinder digestion and absorption. If the food is not digested well, it will naturally accumulate into a big belly.

3. Fruit * After the fruit matures, its starch will be converted into fructose, but the starch of bananas is too high, so it is not suitable for eating, whether raw or cooked.
Although sucrose * contains no starch, it is a greasy food. You can only eat a small amount occasionally, otherwise it will easily cause abdominal pain.
5, milk * milk does not contain starch, but if it can be digested normally, its lactose will be converted into wine and bovine lactose, but if it is not digested well, it will ferment in the intestine, causing IBS.
Suggested menu breakfast: a slice of toast, an egg, a bowl of wheat husk, and a few peaches. Lunch: Yudan powder, vegetables. Dinner: No starch, soup, less meat and more vegetables to test yourself. Generally, the characteristics of high starch content are light (light gray) and thick, so it will be easier to choose food if you recognize this.
But of course, not all starchy foods are like this. To know whether food contains starch, you might as well drop a little iodine on it. If the food contains starchy food, the dark orange will turn blue-black.
