Control the number and size of fat cells and slim figure belongs to you
The size of fat cells determines fat and thin
Because it can lead to obesity, fat is unpopular. This is actually our prejudice. According to Dr. Xu Xiang, it is not the amount of fat that determines a person's fatness, but the size of fat cells. Because human fat cells basically have no ability to self-reproduce, the number of fat cells in a person is basically constant since birth. The difference between fat and thin in the human body mainly lies in the different amount of fat contained in each fat cell. "If there is no external force to reduce the number of fat cells, the larger the volume of each fat cell, the fatter it will be," Xu Xiang said.
So if you want to maintain a slim figure, Dr. Xu Xiang recommends that controlling the volume of fat cells, controlling diet or strengthening exercise can reduce the fat content in each fat cell.
1. Reduce the intake of fatty foods
The main sources of calories consumed by the human body are fat, protein and carbohydrates. Among them, fatty foods are the main culprit in causing fat cell expansion.
The calories of carbohydrates and protein must go through multiple conversion processes in the human body before they can be transformed into fat and stored in the human body. Once absorbed, fatty foods quickly enter fat cells. Therefore, if you want to control fat cells, you should reduce the intake of fatty foods such as fat, cream, hamburgers, chips, fried products, chocolate, cakes, and whole milk.
2. Reduce the amount of carbohydrates in your diet
Carbohydrates can also be converted into fat in the liver and stored in fat cells. The liver can only convert about 15 - 20 grams of glucose into fat a day, so the rate at which carbohydrates can be converted into fat is limited. However, carbohydrates can stimulate the secretion of insulin, and insulin can promote the accumulation of fat and inhibit the decomposition of fat. Therefore, reduce the intake of carbohydrate foods such as rice, pasta, and starch!
3. Exercise reduces body fat and improves body composition
The higher the level of exercise and physical activity, the less body fat content. All forms of exercise will increase the oxidation of fat, but only long-term low-intensity aerobic exercise will provide the largest proportion of fat energy. Using exercise to increase physical consumption, regulate and improve energy balance, and reduce fat can enable the human body to establish a new balance at a lower body fat level and control body fat.
Liposuction fundamentally reduces the number of fat cells
Controlling diet or strengthening exercise can only temporarily reduce the fat content in fat cells, but cannot reduce the number of fat cells. Once you stop exercising or dieting, there is a possibility of rebound. Therefore, if you want to maintain a slim figure, remove fat most thoroughly.
Liposuction surgery is no stranger to many people. According to Dr. Xu Xiang, liposuction uses physical means such as ultrasound and high-frequency electric fields to break the fat, and then inserts the liposuction tube into the subcutaneous fat layer through a small incision in the skin. The suction force of negative pressure removes the subcutaneous fat accumulated locally in the human body, quickly achieving the purpose of shaping and local weight loss, and is not easy to rebound after surgery.
Liposuction takes advantage of the lack of regenerative ability of fat cells. After liposuction, the number of fat cells in the body is greatly reduced, and local shapes are quickly formed. Its main function is to improve body shape and sculpt the beautiful body shape.
Liposuction is good, but you can't do whatever you want
Liposuction is undoubtedly a boon for obese people, but not anyone or any part can suck liposuction, nor can you suck as much as you want. Dr. Xu Xiang told us that people who can undergo liposuction must be within 30% overweight and have good skin elasticity without excessive slack and too many wrinkles. People over the age of 60 and adolescents whose bodies are immature are not suitable for liposuction. People with internal organ diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, cannot undergo liposuction. The waist and abdomen, buttocks, back, thighs, upper limbs (upper arms and forearms), lower jaw, calves, etc. are the more common sites for liposuction. The doctor will control the amount of liposuction within a reasonable range based on the subject's own situation. Fractional liposuction can also achieve good body shaping results.
In addition, Dr. Xu Xiang also emphasized that after liposuction, people's weight will not be significantly reduced. Liposuction is also no substitute for physical exercise and healthy meals. After liposuction, physical exercise and healthy meals are crucial to maintaining a slim figure.
