Attention, people who are going to buy: Did the "skimmer" throw away the fat or something?
Fat thrower has become popular in the market, but experts warn that the effect is uncertain, so you should be careful of physical injury.
Violent vibration, crazy fat-throwing, you only need to stand on it for 5 to 10 minutes every day, and you can achieve the effect of losing weight and fitness-recently, this kind of advertisement called "fat-throwing machine" is overwhelming, and the expensive price of 1000 to 4,000 yuan has not stopped Amy MM from flocking. Does this thing have a weight loss effect? Can the internal organs withstand such violent vibration? The reporter did some research.
Advertisement: Crazy shaking, a piece of fat oozes oil.
TV commercials claim that as long as you go to the "crazy skimmer", the machine will vibrate violently, which can drive the whole body fat to move. Some advertisements put a piece of fat on the skimmer to demonstrate the effect. After a while, the fat slowly melted and some yellow oil leaked out.
The advertisement declares, "You only need to use 5- 10 minutes every day, which is equivalent to the calories you consume when jogging 1 hour, which is equivalent to burning calories at 30 times the speed of running. Stick to it for a month, and you can lose 5- 10 kg. " ...
Market: There are many buyers, some are sweating and some have stomachaches.
It is understood that there are more than a dozen "crazy skimmers" of various brands on the market at present, and the prices range from 1000 yuan to 4,000 yuan. Fat remover is very popular not only in major fitness equipment stores and TV shopping, but also in online mail order. The reporter searched for "fat nemesis" on Google once and found more than 300,000.
The day before yesterday, the reporter went to a well-known fitness equipment store in Tianhe District to "experience" and "degreaser". After about four minutes of violent bumps, the reporter's legs and waist really began to sweat, but soon his stomach began to feel faint and uncomfortable. A young salesman explained, "You'll get used to it after a few more times." But he admits that he can't stand it either.
Mr. Liu, a reader from Guangzhou, called and said that he bought a skimmer and used it for half a month. Although I sweat a lot every time, my weight has not changed for the time being, and I feel uncomfortable and a little nauseous after using it every time.
Danger: Strong vibration may cause various injuries.
Zhang Weisen, director of the Occupational Hazard Assessment Department of Guangzhou Twelfth Hospital, said in an interview that the skimmer has not been available for a long time, and whether it will cause physical harm to people requires long-term follow-up and rigorous scientific experiments to reach a conclusion.
Another medical person who asked not to be named said that long-term strong vibration will lead to an occupational disease called "vibration disease", which is common among operators of pneumatic tools and electric tools. Relevant medical data show that severe whole body vibration can cause visceral displacement and even mechanical injury; It can also inhibit gastrointestinal peristalsis and gastric acid secretion, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms such as epigastric fullness and pain, and the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases is high; If you sit and touch the whole body vibration, it will also lead to high incidence of spinal muscle strain, spinal degeneration and disc herniation; When women are subjected to whole body vibration, they may have prolonged menstrual period, menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, uterine prolapse, abortion and abnormal delivery rate. Efficacy: There is no evidence. Liang Weiguo, director of the Department of Orthopaedics of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital, expressed doubts about the slimming effect of this fat. He said that the skimmer can separate glycerol from an "isolated fat", but it cannot be inferred that it can help the decomposition and consumption of human fat. Human fat is supplied by blood, which is very different from isolated fat. The efficacy theory of fat separator lacks scientific basis.
As an orthopedic professional, Liang Weiguo has seen the demonstration of liposuction machine and is very worried about the damage it may cause to bones, joints, ligaments and muscles due to violent vibration. He advised the elderly not to use skimmers.
It has also been pointed out that at present, the hospital has not treated any cases that the skimmer has caused harm to the human body, but it does not mean that there will be no cases in the future. He said that at present, weight-loss instruments of various principles are emerging one after another, and businesses are boasting in publicity. However, it is difficult for consumers to judge whether these products have the claimed efficacy and are harmful to human body. He believes that health-related products should be supervised like drugs and health care products, and necessary experiments and demonstrations should be carried out before they are introduced to the market to give consumers scientific guidance; Instead of taking consumers as "experiments" as it is now, many products are put on the market, and the relevant departments will intervene to "stop" after the vicious consequences occur, which may have caused irreversible damage to some consumers by then.
