Drug prescription for weight control

Modern people are busy with work and life pressure, and often work overtime until late to go home. Even on holidays, they still want to catch up on sleep. Therefore, even if many people know the methods of exercise and diet control, it is difficult for them to maintain their weight through exercise or diet control. However, under the premise of not changing the lifestyle, it is actually possible to avoid the three high diseases by maintaining weight through drugs.

If you need to control your weight through drugs, you must use them under the guidance of a doctor. Clinically, the definition of obesity in the World Health Organization, Asia-Pacific region and Taiwan Province Province will be used as the standard to evaluate whether patients are obese or obese. The most frequently quoted value is the body mass index. Usually, the body mass index value will be between 20 and 30. According to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), a body mass index above 30 is too heavy, and a body mass index below 18.5 is too light. If the data exceeds 40, a combination of medication and surgery will be recommended.

Chen Jianhong, a doctor at Dedong Clinic in Tainan City, stressed that there is only one legal diet pill left. This only legal prescription weight-loss drug has reversible and long-acting gastrointestinal lipolytic enzyme inhibitor, and its curative effect is that lipolytic enzymes secreted by stomach and pancreas in gastric cavity and small intestine form valence bonds at activated silk amino acids.

Therefore, the inactivated enzyme can not hydrolyze the fat in the diet and become free fatty acids and monoglycerides for absorption. Because undigested triglycerides cannot be absorbed, reducing calorie intake is helpful to control weight; While controlling weight, it also reduces the risk of "three high" diseases, and is a good auxiliary drug for "three high" people or dieters.

In addition, some drugs for treating diseases also have weight loss effects after long-term observation. For example, metformin insulin and acarbose used by diabetic patients both reduce blood sugar and slow down glucose absorption by reducing the output of glucose and insulin resistance in the liver. However, the doctor stressed that this is only a drug with weight loss effect, not a so-called "weight loss drug". It is recommended to use only when the patient has diabetes or insulin resistance.

Generally, drug meal replacement is recommended for patients with weight loss in clinic. If obesity is so serious that the body mass index exceeds 40 or 35, and the patient is complicated with hypertension or diabetes, it is called "morbid obesity", and gastric bypass, gastric septum or gastric bundle bag surgery will be recommended for treatment. At present, this morbidly obese patient can be covered by medical insurance (but the patient must pay for the materials himself).

Exercise prescription for weight control

Eating too much and sitting for a long time are the main reasons why modern people are getting fatter and fatter. If you want to change your posture, you have to move more. Chen Jianhong reminded that the main purpose of exercise is to increase the metabolic rate and make the body burn more calories. Simply put, you can maintain the same weight by eating 2000 calories a day. If you increase the calories you burn through exercise, you will lose weight after this time.

The duration of continuous exercise is more important than the intensity of exercise. Moderate and low intensity exercise is easy to become a habit after a long time, and brisk walking, swimming, jogging and cycling are all good. Generally speaking, it is recommended to give priority to aerobic exercise and give priority to muscle strength and stretching weight training.

It is suggested that each time should be more than 30 minutes, so that the heart rate can reach 120 to 130 times per minute, and it is better to exercise three to four times a week. If you watch TV, you can practice dumbbells at the same time, use a bottle full of water to achieve the same effect, increase the chances of physical exercise, and easily achieve the goal of slimming. At the same time, exercise can release endorphins that make people feel happy and help them feel happy. It's killing two birds with one stone!
