1, the main points of taking a bath to lose weight
First, you often rub your face when you are tired.
Most people feel this way. When they are tired, they will immediately feel refreshed. Because there are many facial expression muscles and sensitive nerves on the face, hot water can stimulate these nerves, and rubbing the face can speed up blood flow and stretch the facial expression muscles at the same time. When taking a bath, it is advisable to rub your face once every second, 3 ~ 5 times, and not less than 3 minutes each time.
It should be noted that warm water at 40℃ is the best way to eliminate fatigue, because the normal armpit temperature of human body is 37℃, and the body temperature is 40℃, which is the closest to the body temperature. If the water temperature is too high and consumes a lot of heat, it will not only not eliminate fatigue, but will feel uncomfortable; When the water temperature is too low, the blood vessels contract, which makes it difficult to eliminate fatigue.
Second, constipation rubs the stomach
When taking a bath, you can massage your abdomen clockwise with your palm, and at the same time take a big breath with your abdomen and shower your abdomen, which can treat chronic constipation and prevent hemorrhoids. For nervous constipation, it is necessary to rinse with 40℃ hot water along the intestine for about 3 minutes, then rinse with 25℃ warm water for 10 second, and repeat for 5 times, which can increase the peristalsis of the large intestine.
Third, indigestion is often inhaled.
When you lose appetite, you can take a bath 30 minutes before meals, stimulate your stomach with hot water, and then spray water around your chest with hot water after your body is warm, rest every 5 seconds 1 minute, and repeat for 5 times.
Bathing can be soaked in hot water for 20 ~ 30 minutes, while abdominal breathing (inhaling from the nose, bulging the abdomen, and then exhaling from the mouth), and then stimulating the abdomen with slightly cold water can promote the secretion of gastric juice and increase appetite. For people with hyperacidity and gastric and duodenal ulcers, soaking in hot water for 3 ~ 4 minutes can control the secretion of gastric acid and relieve and control the disease.
Therefore, although the shower saves time, it will only stimulate the skin surface and the internal organs will not get heat. Taking a bath in the morning is the best way to wake up the body and mind. You can devote yourself to your work and study during the day, and it is best to take a bath in the bathtub 0 to 2 hours before going to bed.
2. Causes of abdominal fat accumulation
In fact, there are two kinds of fat: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat.
Subcutaneous fat refers to what you can see and touch-beer belly, fetal belly, loose tissue and waist fat. This kind of fat will make people look fat. Although it looks bad, there is no risk.
Let's talk about visceral fat first. Visceral fat is a kind of fat hidden inside. Visceral fat refers to the fat wrapped in abdominal organs, which is more harmful because it is difficult to detect. In addition to unhealthy diet and lack of exercise, there are genetic factors.
How do you know if there is visceral fat in the abdomen?
The researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to construct the influence of the surrounding magnetic field and energy pulse on the abdomen. Of course, you don't need such advanced equipment to determine whether your belly fat will become a health factor.
A, first you can measure the waist-hip ratio. Apple-shaped people-people with overweight waistlines-are more likely to store visceral fat.
B, another way is to touch the abdomen with your hands: is it loose or hard? If it's hard, you may have visceral fat. But visceral fat is not only found in obese people and patients with beer bellies.
The situation is contradictory: a thin person may have more visceral fat and greater health risks than a person twice his own weight.
Here are some things to do and four good ways to fight belly fat:
1, while mastering your body mass index, you should also master the waist-hip ratio.
Every other month or so, record your waist circumference and hip circumference on the calendar. If the measured waist circumference is greater than the hip circumference, take this as an emergency signal and try to lose some fat around the waist.
W: If the waist circumference exceeds 89 cm, you should be careful. If your waistline is in a dangerous area and your body mass index is above 25, then you are at risk of heart disease.
2. If 20% to 35% of your calories in a day come from fat, then choose those healthy fats-monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. Delicious and healthy foods include salmon, avocados, olives and walnuts.
Use vegetable oil for cooking, such as rapeseed oil, olive oil or sunflower oil. Avoid foods high in saturated fat and carbohydrates.
3. Fixed and moderate exercise helps us avoid the attack of fat, and more vigorous exercise can burn off the existing fat.
There is also good news about visceral fat, which is the first part you can get rid of when you lose weight. Do cardiovascular exercise that can burn fat, and at the same time cooperate with the exercise of strengthening abdominal muscles. Don't forget to consult your doctor before starting any strenuous exercise.
4. Check regularly. If you are worried about your own risk, your doctor may use a tape measure or magnetic resonance imaging, or take a blood test to measure the content of retinol-binding protein-they are indicators of potential health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes.
