Wrapping the thin part with plastic wrap can increase the local temperature, sweat a lot and achieve the effect of burning fat; Pepper paste can promote blood circulation, help fat burn and lose weight. So many girls think it makes sense to lose weight with this trick.

Plastic wrap: sweating at high temperature does not reduce fat.

The air permeability of plastic wrap is poor. Wrapping around the body during exercise will really raise the local body temperature, and the body will sweat a lot in order to dissipate heat (water can't evaporate quickly when sweating, and the skin will wrinkle when it is soaked with sweat). You may lose weight after sweating, so many people think that this kind of weight loss is really effective, but they don't know that the main reason for losing weight is the water lost by the body, and the weight will come back after replenishing water.

Pepper paste: Is burning fat when the skin is red?

Capsaicin is the main effective component in Chili sauce. This substance has the function of dilating blood vessels and accelerating blood flow, so the part stimulated by capsaicin will turn red and hot.

This kind of reaction is very similar to the fever after exercise, which may make people mistakenly think that they can play the same role as exercise in losing weight. As we all know, the real reason for losing weight by exercise is to consume a lot of energy, and fever is only an accompanying phenomenon. Expanding blood vessels and speeding up blood flow may speed up local metabolism to some extent, but there is no study showing that applying capsaicin to the skin will have obvious weight loss effect.

Conclusion: The function of plastic wrap is to raise local temperature and increase perspiration. At present, there is no research that increasing temperature can promote fat consumption, and the weight loss caused by perspiration is only due to water loss rather than fat loss. Chili sauce can dilate blood vessels and promote blood circulation. There is no evidence that it can reduce fat.
