People say smoking can lose weight. Is smoking particularly harmful to your health? What are the main hazards?
For a long time, there has been a saying on the Internet that smoking can reduce people's food intake, make you feel anorexia gradually and lose weight naturally! However, when you want to quit smoking, you will gain weight again. Is that really the case? ▲ Can smoking lose weight? There is no scientific basis! There is no scientific basis for smoking to help you lose weight. Smoking is harmful to the lungs and consumes a lot of vitamins. The main reason for human obesity is that excessive calorie intake can not be metabolized, leading to fat accumulation. If you need to metabolize too much fat, you need more vitamins. Therefore, you may gain weight when you start smoking. Even if you lose weight, it is caused by poor appetite, and it is also a morbid way to lose weight. A woman who loves smoking will have a thick waist. The latest research found that smoking can not only lose weight, but also make their waistlines thicker and thicker. According to a recent study by the University of Cambridge, the waistline of women who smoke is more likely to get thicker. The researchers investigated 2 1828 residents aged between 45 and 79, and recorded their smoking status and physical indicators in detail. The researchers found that compared with non-smokers or quitters, smokers have a larger waist circumference and a smaller hip circumference, that is, the waist-hip ratio (waist divided by hip circumference) is higher; The longer you smoke, the more you smoke, and the higher the waist-hip ratio. If you quit smoking, the waist-hip ratio will gradually decrease with the extension of smoking cessation time. This situation is particularly obvious among female respondents. ○ Smoking is harmful to lose weight. It is worth noting that smoking can not only lose weight, but also do a lot of harm to the body! 1. Tooth stains/breath: Smokers' teeth are stained with the color of smoke stains, which is not easy to fade, and their breath is unpleasant and their hair quality becomes extremely poor. Premature aging: Smoking will advance the menopause of women, which will be 1 ~ 3 years earlier. Wrinkles: Nicotine destroys collagen and makes the skin drier, so there are more wrinkles. Chest: Due to the decrease of estrogen, women's secondary diseases will not develop and their chest circumference will become smaller. Dark circles: Smoking will lead to blood flow disorder, so that the blood around the eyes can not supply enough oxygen, leading to dark circles. Large pores: blood flow disorder, capillary atrophy, pores will of course become larger and larger. The conclusion is that smoking makes women look at least five years older. 2. Harmful to health Unfortunately, the risk of cancer and myocardial infarction of smokers is much higher than that of men, and the incidence of heart disease of smokers is four times that of lung cancer of non-smokers: female smokers are more likely to cause lung cancer, and the risk of lung cancer is 1.5 times that of men. Respiratory tract: one of the main causes of chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic airway obstruction. Digestive tract: it can increase gastric acid secretion (about 90% higher than that of non-smokers), inhibit pancreatic secretion, increase acid load and induce ulcers. Cardiovascular diseases: hypoxia in tissues and myocardium induces coronary artery spasm, increases blood viscosity, interferes with lipid metabolism and promotes cholesterol deposition; Qing Xue's antioxidant effect is reduced, and the incidence of various cardiovascular diseases is greatly increased. Low sexual interest and reproductive ability: Female smokers are about 50% less likely to get pregnant than non-smokers. Reduce the chance of having a boy: Scientists in Denmark and Japan have found that smoking may reduce the chance of having a boy. Reproductive risk: easy abortion, premature delivery, stillbirth, early placental abruption and placenta previa are all related to smoking during pregnancy. Eye injury: vascular sclerosis, increased platelet viscosity, leading to local hypoxia, leading to retinopathy, increasing the possibility of cataract. 3. Affect psychology. Can smoking refresh you? In fact, it can temporarily refresh, and a small dose can relieve it, but a large dose can inhibit the central nervous system. Long-term nerve suppression leads to poor sleep quality, which not only looks exhausted, but also affects mental health. Insufficient oxygen supply caused by blood flow disorder makes women irritable, make wild guesses and go to extremes! I don't need to say more about wasting money! Think about how many skin care products you can buy to care for your face or make a body fund if you save money on cigarettes in a month! That is to reduce the erosion of tobacco on beauty and increase investment in beauty!
