A few days ago, media reports said that American scientists have recently developed a "slimming perfume," the taste of which is synthesized from natural and artificial spices, as well as a small amount of salt and emulsifiers. It is not sprayed on the body but sprayed on the food. The magic is that, as long as the specific flavor of "slimming perfume" sprayed, the bread can eat the taste of fried chicken wings - in fact, it is a flavoring, a very rich variety, people can completely find their favorite taste .
Reported that with this "slimming perfume", weight loss can become a pleasure, sit back and relax. This makes many girls yearn for it. There are also beautiful women around the reporter who are gearing up to get ready for this perfume once they come to China. However, is it really "absolutely healthy and absolutely beneficial to weight loss" as stated in the report? After this kind of flavoring agent has deceived people's taste, can it really pass through the gastrointestinal digestive system?
Nutritionist "slimming perfume" is a temporary solution
Nutritionists are always looking for an ideal, humanistic way to lose weight: they can reduce the intake of certain fat-enhancing foods without affecting people’s enjoyment of their delicious rights. Weight loss perfumes to a certain extent solve the contradiction between enjoying food and losing weight, so it is an alternative way to lose weight. Professor Yu Kang, deputy director of the Department of Nutrition of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, believes that this kind of "slimming perfume" still has merit in terms of creativity.
"But there are still many areas that need to be scrutinized in this process," Professor Yu pointed out. "This method is to reduce the intake of oil, salt, sugar, meat and other substances to achieve weight loss." He believes that if you do not pay attention Self-regulation, the loser will fall into two misunderstandings:
First, overkill. With weight loss perfumes, some people may restrict the intake of foods such as oil and meat more strictly, resulting in the lack of essential fatty acids, B vitamins, and trace elements in the oil. As a result, the meat has not been reduced, but the entire skin appears rough and peeling; the visceral function is reduced, the immunity is reduced, and even a series of diseases are caused.
Second, there is a significant portion of the total calories that come from meat, oil, and sugar. If it is added to staple foods for a long period of time, it is not easy to reduce the amount of staple foods, and it may even produce dependence on it.
"This method alone cannot cure localized weight loss. This method must be combined with the regularity of life, reasonable exercise, good mood, and knowledge of weight loss to achieve the desired weight loss." Yu Kang said.
Psychologists - rely on deceptive taste to lose weight and cause gastrointestinal ulcers, anorexia
Shen Zheng, a professor of psychology at Peking University, believes: "This weight loss method can be used occasionally once or twice, but it must not be used for a long period of time." He explained that after this flavoring agent deceives the taste, the taste is satisfied, but at the same time, Separation from other systems leads to incoordination of the digestive system activity with taste, leading to a series of digestive diseases and even anorexia.
Because people's normal reaction when they eat a certain food is: smell the taste, taste reaction, chewing hardness, secretion of gastric juice, etc., these are a unified and coordinated process. If the taste is deceived, although the taste is satisfied, the taste will be separated from other systems, resulting in digestive gland activity and taste incoordination.
For example, if a meaty “perfume†is added to bread, the taste will be deceived, and the gastrointestinal tract will secrete a large amount of gastric juice and intestinal fluid suitable for digesting meat. So when starch- and sugar-based bread enters the gastrointestinal tract, excessive stomach acids and proteases can destroy the inner wall of the gastrointestinal tract. If the activity and taste of digestive glands are not coordinated for a long time, they may even cause gastrointestinal ulcers.
Orthopedic experts - tricks to lose weight are not desirable
Dr. Chen Huanran, a well-known orthopaedic specialist, said after understanding the principle of “slimming perfumeâ€: “I think this is an alternative, temporary, temporary solution, and decoy type of weight loss method.â€
He said that so far the most fundamental way to solve the problem of obesity without addressing the cause of obesity is to advocate a rational and healthy diet. "First, health is always the first, food is delicious, but don't be too greedy for health. Second, prevent the generation of overly-thinking thoughts that are thin and beautiful. To understand fat correctly is a function; Third, if it is necessary to lose weight, we must lose weight scientifically under the premise of health; Fourth, once obese, we must take obesity to the height of the disease to treat. "He also thinks, so in the final analysis is the concept of people's problems The human life is only one time. It is healthy and alive. It is more important for people than anything else to ensure the quality of life. The ideal way to lose weight is to first control people's desire for food, that is, to regard life as more important than desire.
Dr. Chen said that even if it can really use the so-called "perfume to lose weight" this method, it has only a while heat. Because people always pursue the truth psychologically and pursue nature. Many people will definitely not eat real steak for a long time, but use this flavor to replace the smell of steak. This product is absolutely transient and will not have eternal vitality.
