The answer is the first to see:
For this question, Chao Ge is more inclined to answer this question: Hawthorn helps to strengthen the spleen and promote digestion, but it has little effect on losing weight, so it can be said that it has almost no effect.
Weight loss mechanism
Obesity is because the intake of calories is greater than the consumption of calories, and the remaining calories remain in the body and are converted into fat. In the long run, fat accumulates in the body, leading to obesity.
Therefore, to lose weight is to break this phenomenon, eat less oil and fat, avoid excessive calorie intake, and release excess calories in our body in time while meeting the normal needs of the human body. Exercise is an intuitive way to consume calories.
But the most important thing is to keep your mouth shut and take your legs away.
Why is hawthorn not effective in losing weight?
Hawthorn is a kind of fruit with homology of medicine and food, and it is rich in nutrition. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is a good medicine for invigorating spleen and appetizing, resolving food stagnation, promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm.
This is because hawthorn contains more vitamins C, B2, carotene and various organic acids, which can increase the secretion of pepsin, help digestion and stimulate appetite [1].
So in this respect, eating more hawthorn may make you eat more.
However, related research did study the degradation of hawthorn on adipocytes [2].
Studies have shown that adipocytes are closely related to the occurrence of obesity. They can not only temporarily store excessive energy in the body, but also differentiate and express key enzymes and transporters related to energy synthesis and metabolism. Hawthorn can obviously improve the metabolism of fat cells, reduce the expression of some cytokines that affect obesity, and achieve the purpose of reducing blood fat. However, there is little research on the internal mechanism of this aspect, which needs further study.
There are also some compound hawthorn soups, the basic formula is composed of hawthorn 30g, Alisma orientalis 20g, cooked rhubarb 10g, turmeric 10g, etc. Decoct with water, 65438 0 dose per day, and take it in the morning and evening. 43 subjects were tested for 40 days as a course of treatment. The results show that compound hawthorn slimming soup can effectively reduce the tangible components such as lipids and lipoproteins in plasma, and has a certain weight loss effect on simple obese people. How to prolong the taking period remains to be further discussed [3].
Here, hawthorn is only an ingredient in this soup, and it is not known whether it really plays an important role in lowering blood fat.
abstract
Although related research shows that hawthorn has a certain relationship with lipid-lowering and weight loss, the direct effect of hawthorn on weight loss is not obvious.
On the contrary, its digestive function is well known, which can help the digestion of food in the body and provide sugar energy for the body, but the most important thing to lose weight is to radiate these calories outside the body, so exercise is king.

As we all know, hawthorn is not only a fruit, but also a traditional Chinese medicine. Hawthorn tastes sour and sweet, slightly warm, and enters spleen, stomach and liver meridians. The Chinese medicine has the effects of promoting digestion and removing blood stasis, and promoting qi circulation and removing blood stasis. Especially good at eliminating meat stagnation.
According to the mechanism research report of traditional Chinese medicine, the fatty acids contained in hawthorn can promote fat digestion, increase the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach to promote digestion and regulate gastrointestinal flora. It has been reported that hawthorn can increase the content of high-density cholesterol and increase the excretion of fat; Chinese medicine believes that hawthorn can only be supplemented, so when hawthorn is eaten as a fruit, people with poor gastrointestinal function, such as acid reflux, heartburn, insufficient digestive function and weak spleen and stomach, should not use it more.
Hawthorn helps to lose weight, but according to the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, hawthorn has a strong digestion effect and will promote appetite after taking it. If you can't control your diet, eat too much every meal and don't pay attention to exercise, you can't lose weight. Hawthorn has a strong effect of reducing blood fat, and has the effects of health care, promoting blood circulation, calming, antioxidation and bacteriostasis. If a lady has spots on her face, she can soak in water to promote microcirculation, improve local blood flow and eliminate facial skin defects. In addition, hawthorn is warm, enters the liver meridian, promotes qi and blood circulation, and has the function of removing blood stasis, which has a remarkable effect on treating abdominal pain and lochia caused by menstrual and postpartum stasis.
In short, hawthorn has many functions. We use hawthorn to lose weight every day, but it can't shape. Therefore, if you want to lose weight and get in good shape, you still need to use exercise and fitness together. Suggestion: Soak 10- 15g with water every day after meals, about 3-5 slices of raw hawthorn, and act for half an hour after meals. Try to exercise and move your limbs.
Introduction: Hawthorn, also known as hawthorn, is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine for both medicine and food. When it comes to hawthorn, people's first reaction is its digestion and appetizing effect. The function of eating hawthorn is also manifested in promoting digestion, losing weight, beauty and so on. Hawthorn flavonoids also have the function of preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases.
Function and efficacy of hawthorn
1. Hawthorn invigorating stomach and promoting digestion
Hawthorn tablets contain citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, enzymes, protein and carbohydrates, which can lower blood pressure and promote gastrointestinal digestion.
2. Hawthorn slices can lower blood pressure.
Hawthorn tablets contain triterpenes and brass, which have obvious functions of dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, regulating blood lipid and lowering cholesterol.
3. Reduce fat and lose weight
Hawthorn can strengthen the spleen and promote digestion, which is beneficial to lose weight and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for secondary obesity. Hawthorn has the function of appetizing and digestion. Can eating more lead to obesity and elevated blood lipids? Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Hawthorn is very appetizing because it tastes sour. Eating too much stimulates gastric acid secretion, and we will feel hungry. So if you want to use hawthorn to remove fat, you must not eat it in large quantities as soon as you come up. If your stomach is greatly stimulated, it will secrete a lot of gastric acid. You must feel hungry. Eat more. This will not only fail to remove fat, but will be counterproductive. Therefore, it is necessary to gradually increase the dose from less to more, so that the stomach can adapt. Only in this way can we play the role of hawthorn.
The main raw material of hawthorn is the famous candied haws-hawthorn fruit. Hawthorn is found in all provinces in the north and south, so the effect is naturally the best in the north.
The most important function of hawthorn is digestion, such as dealing with all kinds of food accumulation, and the effect is obvious. We know that there are many reasons for indigestion, such as eating more rice, noodles, fruits, or greasy meat.
Fat, which is greasy, has a remarkable effect.
Through further pharmacological proof, scientists prove that hawthorn can digest food mainly because it contains lipolytic enzymes, which can promote gastrointestinal transport and thus enhance "gastric motility".
In addition, hawthorn also has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is mainly used for blood stasis syndrome in gynecological diseases, such as dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation and postpartum abdominal pain.
So can hawthorn lose weight?
Modern pharmacology has found that hawthorn can dilate coronary blood flow, and achieve the purpose of lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure and strengthening heart. In other words, it can play a certain role in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension, and is suitable for both edible and medicinal purposes.
Hawthorn has always been a common item in people's lives, and all kinds of snacks made of hawthorn have always been indispensable in our childhood memories.
In recent years, with the change of our life rhythm and way, hawthorn has been gradually used to lose weight from the beginning of digestion, such as soaking a cup of hawthorn water in the office for digestion, or special hawthorn slimming tea on the Internet. So can hawthorn really lose weight?
I consulted the relevant information as follows: maslinic acid is sour and sweet, and its functions are as follows: First, promoting digestion and using burnt hawthorn; The second is to dissipate blood stasis and use raw hawthorn. "Seeking Truth from Materia Medica" says: Hawthorn (hawthorn fruit) helps digestion, mince meat, cut stomach and spleen, and cook hard meat of old chicken. But threw a few pieces of hawthorn meat. It's perishable. This means that hawthorn is better at digesting meat. Modern pharmacological research shows that hawthorn has a strong effect of reducing blood fat and eliminating excess fat in the body. Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, carotene and various organic acids. Oral administration can increase the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach, and the protease and fatty acid contained in it can promote the decomposition and digestion of meat. And it has a certain regulatory effect on gastrointestinal function. Different processing methods also have certain effects on the efficacy of hawthorn. Stir-fried hawthorn can reduce its sour taste and reduce the irritation to gastrointestinal tract. Stir-fried hawthorn is not only sour, but also slightly bitter, which is more suitable for digestion and diarrhea. When hawthorn charcoal is fried, it tastes bitter, indicating that it can stop diarrhea and stop bleeding. Hawthorn can be used alone, and is often combined with medicated leaven, malt and radish seed. Help digestion and digestion through traditional Chinese medicine.
How to eat hawthorn to lose weight?

Tips: 1, it is best not to eat hawthorn on an empty stomach, which is easy to cause irritation to the stomach. 2. People with deficiency of spleen and stomach should not eat hawthorn. 3. Pregnant women should not eat more, and children should not eat more, which is easy to be bad for tooth growth. 4. Try not to replace hawthorn with processed "hawthorn food" to lose weight. 5. It is better to eat after meals 1 hour.
It is almost impossible to lose weight through a single food. First of all, the role of food in losing weight is very limited. Secondly, besides eating this kind of food, you will consume many other foods every day, such as a piece of fat, which exceeds the effect of the so-called diet food in a small bite, so don't rely on a single food to lose weight.
If you want to help, you can eat properly.
1, hawthorn has anti-aging effect. The anti-aging effect of hawthorn in its small body ranks first among fruits, which shows how good the beauty effect of hawthorn is.
2, hawthorn can reduce fat and lose weight. Hawthorn has a strong digestive function, which helps people's stomach to promote digestion and shorten the time for food to stay in the digestive tract.
The lipolytic enzyme contained in hawthorn can promote the digestion of fatty foods. For example, when eating fat, you can eat a little to help digestion (note here that it is easier to eat when appetizing. . . )
3. Hawthorn can treat dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. Female dysmenorrhea is often caused by blood stasis, and hawthorn has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Efficacy, has a certain effect on relieving dysmenorrhea.
In addition, it should be noted that it is best to eat hawthorn directly raw, or in the form of soaking water, instead of making it into Sugar-Coated Berry or hawthorn.
In the form of cake, so much sugar is added, but it is not worth the loss, and it needs to grow meat.
Hawthorn water cannot lose weight. Hawthorn can stimulate appetite and help digestion, but it can't help you lose weight. On the contrary, it may give you an appetite. In addition, hawthorn soaked in water is greasy, and it tastes safe and fat!
Understand your desire to lose weight. Fat brother has always advocated healthy weight loss. As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty, but it is necessary to lose weight. Obesity has the following factors:
First, long-term heavy drinking, drinking will eat, will get fat.
Second, the diet is unhealthy, and I like to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as meat, barbecue and fried foods.
Third, lack of exercise, just eating without exercise or because the intake of calories is not as much as eating, the excess calories are converted into fat and stored, and naturally they are fat!
To sum up, we must have found the reason for being fat. We suggest losing weight from the above aspects. Fat brother never advocates dieting, diet pills or any remedies to lose weight, which will bring harm to the body and outweigh the benefits.
The best way to lose weight is exercise and diet control. Fat brother once weighed 230 pounds and successfully lost 78 pounds through one year of fitness and diet control. I hope everyone will work hard for their own health and be their best!
Losing weight lies in the formation of good habits. Obesity is not formed overnight. Whether hawthorn can play a role in losing weight depends on how to do it. First, increase exercise and burn excess fat. Second, adjust your eating habits to ensure that you eat low-calorie things. Third, avoid working overtime and staying up late to prevent metabolic instability in the body. If you just eat hawthorn, you can't guarantee that 100% is effective.
