Men's slimming taboos

Improper weight loss can cause weight gain, which can lead to heart disease. There are also many taboos for weight loss. Have men who lose weight noticed that there may be hidden dangers in the weight loss methods you think are healthy?

Losing too much weight-memory loss

Dr. Gustav Kranhofer of the Dussel Nutrition Institute in Germany reminds dieters that remaining fat in the body can stimulate the brain, accelerate the brain's ability to process information, and enhance short-term and long-term memory.

People who weigh more than 20% to 35% are the cleverest, while women who diet to lose weight have the most memory loss. Therefore, in order to protect your brain function, you should be cautious when losing weight.

Weight gain-heart disease

If you lose weight improperly and cause weight gain, you can lead to heart disease. According to surveys by American researchers, this has become a major threat to male dieters over the age of 40, and provides an opportunity for the invasion of chronic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and hepatitis. The incidence of gastroptosis, depression, and malnutrition has also increased.

Therefore, dieters should adhere to the combination of dieting and exercise to consolidate the weight loss effect, maintain a stable weight, and prevent rebound. Otherwise, it is better not to lose weight. Maintaining a stable weight is more beneficial to your health.

Low-calorie diet-sudden death

Reducing meals and restricting calorie intake is a common way to lose weight. As long as you persist in it, you can get good results.

However, it should be moderate, and the total daily calorie intake should not be less than 600 calories. Research by Dr. Greenway of the University of California shows that if the daily diet provides less than 600 calories, it can endanger the heart. In the mild case, heart rate changes, and in the severe case, it can develop the same heart disease as a starving person, posing a risk of sudden death, medically called sudden death.

Strict vegetarian diet-hair loss

Statistics from Japanese experts show that the "weight loss craze" is accompanied by an increasing number of people with hair loss, of which 20% to 30% are young women aged 20-30.

The crux is that the main component of hair is a protein called fish protein, which contains many trace elements such as zinc, iron, and copper. However, vegetarian people who lose weight only eat vegetables, fruits, flour, etc., and lack of protein and trace elements, causing hair to fall off due to severe malnutrition.

Lose weight too fast-gallstones

Doctors in Europe and the United States have reported in recent years that about a quarter of people who pursue rapid weight loss develop gallstones within the first 2-4 months, and the incidence of surgical weight loss is even higher.

Why does rapid weight loss have such consequences? This may be because when the heat supply is sharply reduced and the fat deposited in tissues is consumed accelerated, cholesterol moves along with it, and the content in bile increases sharply, so the bile becomes sticky and precipitates out crystals.

At the same time, after controlling diet, bile secretion is reduced, gallbladder contraction becomes weaker, and it cannot be emptied in time, which also promotes the formation of stones. If you slow down your weight loss and arrange three meals a day according to the principle of losing weight of no more than 500 grams per week, you can prevent the incidence of gallstones.
