Is it easier to lose weight by exercising and sweating more?
First, "where to sweat easily" has nothing to do with "where to lose weight easily".

Where the body is easy to sweat mainly depends on the "sweat gland development degree" of this part. Sweating on your face is mostly due to the well-developed sweat glands on your face, and the palms are easier to sweat than the backs of your hands, because the sweat glands on your palms are more developed than the backs of your hands, which has nothing to do with where you are prone to lose weight. Remember, fat is consumed all over the body. There are also differences in the degree and location of sweating for everyone, which is individual difference.

Secondly, the relationship between "perspiration amount" and "exercise effect" is not significant.

The main factor affecting the amount of perspiration is "temperature", including "outside temperature" and "body temperature (heat generated by physical activity)". When it's hot in summer, standing outside for a while will make you sweat. When the temperature is high, you can sweat a lot with low-intensity exercise. After all, the main function of perspiration is to regulate body temperature and keep it within the normal range. During exercise, the metabolism of the human body is accelerated (the body generates heat) and the body temperature rises. A moderate increase in body temperature is good for exercise, but it is not good if it is too high. If the body temperature is too high, the body will try to dissipate heat, otherwise the body will "burn out". Sweating is the most important way to dissipate heat. For example, just like a computer needs a fan to dissipate heat, if there is no fan to dissipate heat, playing a very large game (equivalent to your strenuous exercise) will basically burn out the motherboard. Generally speaking, the greater the intensity of exercise, the longer the duration of exercise, the more heat generated by the body and the more sweating, but this does not represent the exercise effect.

Third, it is "water" that loses weight quickly during exercise, not fat.

"Sweat is the cry of fat" is a positive slogan, but it is wrong from a scientific point of view. "How much sweat you have" does not mean "how much fat you have lost". Many people will say that I lost weight after exercising 1 hour. Isn't this weight consuming fat? That's not true ... most of the weight you lost is "water", and you can make up for it by replenishing water. Others will say, isn't this "moisture" produced after fat is completely decomposed? It's really not ... It's true that after fat is completely decomposed, it's carbon dioxide and water, but this part of the water enters the environment to participate in life activities or is excreted through respiration, so it's not that fat is directly decomposed into sweat and excreted (so you know, in early years, there were many weight loss belts in TV shopping, and then it was illiterate to put on them and sweat at the back, and then promote that fat was "burning" ...), and in the process of exercise, it not only consumed fat, but also Secondly, people will sweat when they are nervous (mental sweating), and they will sweat when they eat spicy food (sweating in taste). Does this mean that your fat has been consumed? Therefore, the effect of reducing fat cannot be measured by the amount of perspiration. It takes a long time to measure the effect of reducing fat (for example, one month). (Just send a sweaty photo and show it off in the circle of friends ...)

Fourth, the harm and real use of "slimming clothes"

"Diet clothes" are generally made of airtight chemical fiber materials. After wearing it, it will be airtight, and you will sweat a lot during exercise, and then your weight will go away. But as I said before, the principle of this thing to lose weight is "dehydration", and all it loses is water ... it is completely meaningless and harmful. Wearing a weight-loss suit will force the body to sweat. If water is not replenished in time, it will cause serious dehydration. If you add hot weather, the result may be fatal. Exercise must remember breathable clothes! Timely hydration! (digression: I met many stupid coaches in my early years. I take my members to class and don't let them drink water. After practicing, I lost weight. The coach and members showed off: "You see, practicing with me is more effective! You can lose weight in one class! " ,666666)

The real use of slimming clothes is mainly used in "competitive sports", and athletes can lose weight quickly. For example, a weightlifter's normal weight is 73kg, but he can't win the gold medal in the 77kg class, but he has the strength to win the gold medal in the 69kg class. At this time, in order to win the gold medal, athletes must reduce their weight to below 69kg in a short time. At this time, the commonly used method is "dehydration", which reduces the water in the body in a short time and makes the weight drop rapidly. The general means are: limiting water consumption, wearing slimming clothes (or thick clothes) for exercise, and steaming sauna. In short, all the goals are to "minimize body water". After weighing, athletes will eat a lot of food and water to make up their weight immediately. Exaggerated, they can lose more than 5 kilograms a day. Therefore, in real competitions, most athletes are overweight.
