How to lose weight reasonably

  Obesity is the accumulation of excessive body fat, which is closely related to genetics, diet, exercise, physiology and so on. Obesity brings us not only the problem of appearance, but also diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other serious health effects, which reduce the quality of life.  Obesity is determined by the following criteria: body mass index BIM = weight (kg) / height (m) ^ 2, the normal range is 18.5 < bim < 24.9, overweight is 24 < bim < 28.5, obesity is bim > 28.5. standard weight = height – 105, obesity = (actual weight – standard weight) / standard weight × 100%, obesity more than 10% for overweight, in 20% to 30% is mild obesity. In our common obese people, abdominal obesity is the most serious, the criteria for determining the waist circumference and waist-hip ratio, waist circumference of men > 94cm, women > 80cm, waist-hip ratio of men > 0.9, women > 0.8. In the present society, a variety of weight loss programs, weight loss methods and weight loss drugs, but in all weight loss methods, the most common are two, one for exercise weight loss, one for diet weight loss. Both weight loss methods must follow good rules, suitable for their physical state, and can be persistent, in order to achieve better results.  The first thing we need to pay attention to in the exercise weight loss process is the intensity of the exercise and the range of the body can withstand. Common exercise methods, in the beginning stage can choose low to medium intensity aerobic exercise, why? Because anaerobic exercise produces a large amount of lactic acid can inhibit the oxidation of fat. For the choice of exercise time, you can arrange about 5 days a week, each time in about 1 hour. Because after 30 minutes of exercise, fatty acids can become the main source of energy, so each exercise must be at least 30 minutes to reduce body fat. Common forms of aerobic exercise are jogging, cycling, swimming, etc., and anaerobic exercise are sprinting, weight lifting, etc. How to determine the size of our exercise? If we feel slightly out of breath after exercise without affecting the conversation, our heart rate recovers 5-10 minutes after exercise, and we have plenty of energy the next day after exercise, then it shows that our exercise is appropriate.  In our body’s energy supply, carbohydrates make up the main component, about 60%, followed by fat and protein, each accounting for about 20%. It is best to choose fish, shrimp, lean meat and soybeans containing high protein and low fat food, with sufficient fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, in addition, it is best to consume a certain amount of coarse grains every day to provide dietary fiber and vitamins. The principle of controlling the diet is to control the total energy intake and ensure a variety of meals. So how much energy do we need in a day? The answer is total daily intake = standard weight (height – 105) x 20-25 (kcal/kg). In the process of weight loss, you can also adhere to the less rational and more meals. And according to each person’s physique is different, we can choose the appropriate food conditioning, such as internal damp heat, you can eat white lentils, barley, bitter melon, bamboo shoots, etc.; if liver depression and gas stagnation, you can eat Chen Pi, buckwheat, hawthorn, etc.; and weakness can eat lean lamb, wolfberry, yam, mulberry, etc.  For adults, according to the age and physiology of the different weight loss standards are not the same, middle-aged people should adhere to a reasonable weight, pregnant women should avoid postpartum obesity, while the elderly should prevent continuous weight gain, not adhere to weight loss.  For simple obesity without metabolic diseases and endocrine disorders, the use of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture point buried line can also play a good effect, acupuncture point buried line according to different types of evidence dialectical treatment, can dredge meridians, harmonize qi and blood, with good exercise and diet habits, can maintain the weight loss effect for a long time.
