Pay attention to these nutrition common sense when losing weight

Simple obesity, or obesity caused by endocrine disorders and abnormal metabolism, in addition to ingesting roots, leafy vegetables, sprouts, fruits and whole grains rich in dietary fiber, must also be supplemented with various proteins that can help burn fat., pantothenic acid, vitamin E, iodine, vegetable oil, potassium, etc. The following is a brief explanation of various nutrients that are beneficial to weight loss.

protein

Supplementing more protein can increase fat burning by at least twice. Ingredients and foods with high protein content include grains, brown rice, wheat germ, soybeans, pine nuts, cashew nuts, sesame seeds, yogurt, beer yeast, etc.

pantothenic acid

If the human body lacks pantothenic acid, only half of the fat can be burned, so that the fat stored in the body cannot be converted into energy and consumed. Therefore, pantothenic acid is very important for people who want to lose weight. Pantothenic acid can be ingested from foods such as brown rice, wheat bran, oats, soybeans, pumpkin flowers, alfalfa sprouts, beer yeast, etc.

Vitamin E, iodine

The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the body. The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones due to the needs of the body, which plays an important role in the anabolic and catabolic metabolism of various nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins, thereby maintaining the physiological activities of various cells. Under normal circumstances, as long as you can exercise fully, you can promote fat burning and achieve the goal of weight loss. Vitamin E and iodine are nutrients needed by the thyroid and must be ingested enough. Foods rich in vitamin E include wheat germ, sweet potatoes, potatoes, spinach, cabbage, soybeans, honey, etc.; foods rich in iodine include onions, seaweed, sea salt, etc.

vegetable oil

Most of the fat tissue accumulated in the human body belongs to saturated fat. If you don't consume a suitable amount of vegetable oil, you cannot promote the full burning of saturated fat. Therefore, you should eat more natural foods rich in vegetable oils, such as wheat germ, peanuts, sesame seeds, pine nuts, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, soybean lecithin, etc. However, I should remind you that you cannot eat too much at once. If you eat too much, you will become fatter. Just take a small amount.

potassium

When you eat too little in order to lose weight, it may cause adrenal failure and cause blood sugar to drop; when your blood sugar is too low, pressure will occur, causing a large loss of potassium, and sodium and water will accumulate in the body, leading to systemic edema. At this time, you should eat more foods rich in potassium, such as pumpkin, alfalfa sprouts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, almonds, black beans, raisins, figs, bananas, etc., and eat less salt.
