Reasonable diet control
In autumn, people's appetite increases, and excess calories will be converted into fat, leading to weight gain. Therefore, moderate dieting can help control weight and prevent obesity. When eating, pay attention to the following points to satisfy your appetite without increasing the amount of food:
Drink soup or porridge before meals. As the saying goes, "Drink soup before meals, no need to find medicine." Soup can suppress appetite and increase the feeling of fullness. By drinking soup before eating, the amount of food consumed will decrease. Do not overeat, stop eating when you are "80% full." Try to eat fewer or no snacks. Reasonable diet control not only prevents weight gain, but also reduces the burden on the digestive system and reduces the occurrence of many diseases.
Chew slowly. Chewing food thoroughly and slowly allows it to mix well with saliva, turning into small food particles. Saliva contains substances that promote weight loss. Moreover, the amount of food consumed to achieve a feeling of fullness is less when chewing slowly compared to eating hurriedly. A study published in the British Medical Journal found that people who eat quickly and feel full are three times more likely to be obese compared to those who chew slowly and stop eating before feeling full. As the saying goes, "Do not rush when eating, as rushing damages the spleen. Food should be thoroughly chewed to make it fine."
Eat less for dinner. In the evening, the body rests and the activity of the digestive organs, such as the stomach and intestines, decreases. If you eat too much or too late for dinner, it not only burdens the digestive system but also easily converts calories into fat stored in the body, leading to obesity. Therefore, dinner should be light, avoiding hard-to-digest foods, and late-night snacks should be avoided.
Exercise appropriately
Exercise can burn fat and eliminate excess weight. The simplest method is to take a half-hour walk after a meal. At this time, the energy consumed during exercise comes from fat, effectively reducing fat accumulation in the body and promoting weight loss.
By cultivating good habits in terms of eating and exercise, not only can you achieve weight loss and health benefits, but also increase longevity. Unconsciously, your body shape will become more ideal. Autumn has already begun, and the "obesity switch" is in your hands. If you need to lose weight, do not miss this opportunity.
