1, drink sweet potato water to lose weight
Researchers at Japan's National Agricultural Food Research Institute believe that boiling sweet potato water can reduce weight because some protease residues in it can effectively suppress appetite.
The researchers said that this discovery can not only avoid wasting the water left by boiling sweet potatoes, but also make full use of this water to achieve the purpose of losing weight. What are you waiting for? Don't pour out such a slimming water that benefits the people. However, a friendly reminder is to wash the skin before cooking sweet potatoes, or you will lose weight by drinking "fairy water" mixed with soil.
2. Low fat makes people fatter.
In this era when everyone cares about being fat, "low-fat" chocolate came into being. However, the depressing news is that a large number of scientific research results show that reducing the fat in a piece of Mars (foreign brand chocolate) by 10% may lead to obesity.
A large number of medical studies believe that sugar and high-precision carbohydrates are the main causes of obesity, while fat itself does not lead to obesity. High sugar can also cause a series of diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
The British National Obesity Forum recently suggested that the traditional concept of fat is changing. There is a lot of evidence that naturally occurring lipids are not as terrible as people thought before, and some forms of saturated fats, such as those found in cocoa butter, may even be beneficial to people.
Low-fat chocolate and yogurt, cheese, fast food and French fries are all placed on the "low-fat" shelves in supermarkets because these food manufacturers want people to believe that eating them will help reduce fat intake. In fact, many medical experts believe that eating "low-fat" food can not only reduce fat, but also make people fat. A recent study by Dr. Walter willett of Harvard School of Public Health shows that a low-fat diet can make people fat, because low-fat foods can't meet people's energy needs like full-fat foods, which will make people full of desire to eat. In addition, over-processed so-called "low-fat" foods, such as yogurt, biscuits and fast food, often add more sugar to make up for the loss of taste and flavor after degreasing. Although it is not clear how much sugar Mars "low-fat" chocolate contains, it is certain that it contains at least as much sugar as full-fat chocolate.
Experts advise that it is best to eat one or two small pieces of dark chocolate. Although the fat content is the same as milk chocolate, the sugar content is less and the chocolate taste is stronger.
