How many people forget about salt on the arduous road to fat loss. Salt intake requires a lot of water to go with it, and some foods have more salt in them than you might think. Surprisingly, some organic seasoned chicken is also injected with salt, and ready-made chicken stock sold in supermarkets contains a lot of sodium …… you have unknowingly eaten a lot of salt. Careful you may find that in a packet of only 120kcal noodles (packaged food), some brands of salt can be as high as 1330mg. This means: even if the calories are low, your weight may still increase. This is actually still somewhat related to water. These salts force your body to retain water, knowing that one sodium molecule needs four water molecules to maintain your body’s normal function. Normally, the body is weakly acidic, and salt acts as a buffer to raise the body’s pH level, prompting water storage. If you remove some of the water from your body, you will also lose fat more quickly and will also naturally lower your body’s PH level. You can add some fresh lemon juice to the water you drink, which will help your body remove the excess fluid. Reasons for storage levels 1, insulin levels As you know, if you eat a bunch of sugar then your insulin water will rise, high insulin levels will cause the body to have difficulty secreting sodium, which is salt. Also, when you eat a bunch of gluten, or if you’re particularly sensitive to gluten, it can cause insulin levels to rise. So, if you have the problem of excessive body water storage, you can slightly reduce the intake of carbohydrates. 2, drug causes Many drugs have such a side effect after long-term use, adrenocorticotropic hormone is a typical example. If you are taking some drugs that have a tendency to show water storage, consider talking to your doctor, or be careful of turning yourself into a marshmallow. 3, sweeteners Many of the so-called low-calorie foods on the market have a problem: the use of low-calorie sweeteners. These artificial sweeteners can produce the illusion of allergies and may also be the cause of edema. These foods basically contain a lot of salt. In addition, alcohol, drugs, insufficient fiber, long-term antibiotics, etc. can affect your digestive system, some foods can cause a highly allergic reaction, resulting in the body’s immune cells begin to produce histamine, and histamine can cause the body to overstore water. 4, lack of / excessive exercise lack of exercise will affect the venous return of heart blood volume problems and lymphatic system clogged people, which leads to excess water. In addition, if your aerobic training is more than an hour a day, cortisol will increase , you will still get the same effect as a lack of training. 5, stress and lack of sleep Stress and lack of sleep will also increase cortisol and insulin levels, which will have a negative impact on the elimination of excess water. 6, genetic problems Our diet is increasingly skewed towards high starch and high salt. Cellulite is a form of fat that stores more water, and this fat can produce many of the toxins in the body. If you are particularly flabby, it’s time to think about detoxification. How to solve Of course, the bell must be tied, reduce salt intake is the top priority, read the nutrition table carefully, remember to weigh the amount of salt when you cook your own food; at the same time eat more vegetables will help you a lot; foods containing sulfur, such as round onions and garlic can help reduce salt in the body.
