Fat accumulates below the waist, including hips, inner thighs, outer thighs and other parts of the lower body, which leads to sagging hips, thick thighs (commonly known as elephant legs) and protruding lower abdomen, which makes the figure completely out of shape, that is, pear-shaped obesity. Due to the influence of estrogen, women easily convert excess heat into fat and attach it to the skin. Because of slow metabolism and fat accumulation before and after menopause, middle-aged women are the main group of obesity in Xiyang pear.
When many women reach middle age, their thighs and buttocks will be obese, and the figure of Xiyangli will become a nightmare. Xiao Dunren pointed out that this kind of body fat adheres to the skin and is tenacious and not easy to decompose. Once the thickness exceeds 2 cm, it is difficult to metabolize. Therefore, if you use the wrong method or lack willpower when losing weight, it is easy to fail. However, on the bright side, subcutaneous fat obesity is less harmful to health. The latest research shows that pear-shaped people live longer than apple-shaped people. Ashley, former British consultant
In collaboration with mathematicians from City University of London, Will analyzed the data of about 3,000 British men and women for 20 years and published a study at the European Obesity Conference. It is estimated that 30-year-old women with thin waist and fat buttocks live 9.5 years longer than those with fat waist and abdomen, while 30-year-old men with tuna belly live nearly 17 years less than those with flat abdomen. In addition, middle-aged men who often stay up late or rotate night shifts are also obese people in Li Xiyang.
Zhang Jianhui pointed out that from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body began to suffer from liver and kidney deficiency at the age of 40. Although they didn't eat much supper, these people became obese because of irregular physiological clock, disordered hormone secretion and poor metabolism.
What wrong habits make you fat?
Staying up late for a long time or working upside down day and night, breaking the law of hormone secretion, is difficult without getting fat. Liao added that even if the biological clock is in a mess, even if you are tired, your body is in high spirits, but the more tired you are, the more you can't sleep. The result is that you rummage around for supper, forming a vicious circle. Sedentary, fat accumulation is also easy to sit out of the "big * * *".
Chen Jianhui said that the outside of the body is the easiest to get fat, including the waist, the outside of the hips, the outside of the thighs and even the outside of the arms. The whole body expands outward, and after a long time, it will change from pear-shaped body to green pepper-shaped body-the upper and lower bodies are particularly obese.
How to lose weight through metabolism?
In order to get rid of the nightmare of obesity in the lower body, Dr. Morrison suggested eating more high-fiber foods to absorb excessive estrogen, which not only can improve the efficiency of weight loss, but also help shape the body curve and relieve women's menstrual discomfort. He suggested eating some edamame to regulate estrogen level and replacing delicate rice flour with whole grains. Cheng Hanyu, Dean of Muguang Nutritionist Clinic, recommended burdock, bitter gourd, black fungus, mushrooms and other seasonal ingredients rich in soluble dietary fiber.
Traditional Chinese medicine starts with adjusting the liver and kidney system. Chen Jianhui pointed out that Chinese medicine emphasizes the harmony of the five zang-organs, and people will gain weight, which means imbalance in the body. Therefore, using traditional Chinese medicine, diet, exercise and other methods can restore the normal operation of various organs of the body and naturally lose weight. Because most of the obese people with western pear type have yin deficiency and excessive fire, some Chinese medicines can be used to nourish yin, such as Lycium barbarum, Rehmannia glutinosa, Nuzhenzi, Eclipta prostrata, Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, Polygonatum sibiricum, Cornus officinalis, Alisma orientalis, yam and so on. Zuogui Pill and Liuwei Dihuang Pill can be used to regulate the liver and kidney, that is, the endocrine system, Chen Jianhui said.
Exercise prescription
Xiao Dunren pointed out that "exercise, exercise, continue to exercise" is the only way to fight subcutaneous fat. Start with aerobic exercise, whether it's brisk walking, jogging or riding a bike, to make breathing faster and gasp, and inhale oxygen into the body to burn fat. After 6 weeks, the skills of aerobic exercise are skilled, and after losing some weight, anaerobic exercise is added to the schedule, because muscle mass is directly proportional to metabolic rate, and with muscle, the basal metabolic rate will increase. "In the end, anaerobic exercise becomes the key to maintaining weight loss results.
In fact, this concept applies to all types of weight loss, "he stressed. In view of the local strengthening of obesity in lower limbs, nutritionist Zheng suggested that obese westerners should "stride" because the muscle groups used in striding are different from those used in small steps, which can drive thighs, buttocks and even waist. Even if you walk at the same speed, the calories consumed by striding and small steps are the same, but moving to different muscle groups will help improve the waist-hip curve.
