Salvia miltiorrhiza has the function of enriching blood and promoting blood circulation. Animal experiments have found that it can effectively reduce low body fat. According to the data of the World Health Organization, the global obesity population is about 13%. According to the statistics of the national health administrative department, the prevalence rate of overweight and obesity (BMI greater than or equal to 24) among adults in Taiwan Province Province is 45.4%. Lin Heng, director of the doctoral program of technology and medical industry research and development for students in Taipei Medical College, said that obesity caused by excessive body fat will also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Salvia miltiorrhiza can inhibit white fat.
But in fact, fat cells are different. White fat, which mainly leads to obesity, has large oil droplets and stores energy, while brown fat contains many mitochondria, which can inhale glucose and triglycerides in the blood, burn oil droplets and consume energy, thus achieving the effect of losing weight.
Unlike white fat distributed under the skin and internal organs, brown fat is responsible for storing energy. Brown fat can convert energy, effectively burn fat and generate heat energy. However, the brown fat content of adults is quite low. Therefore, how to increase the amount of brown fat and enhance fat burning is regarded as one of the important research directions.
