Cling film weight loss is harmful to the bad effects of cling film weight loss

Now many beauty salons have launched a body wrap diet method, wrapping the body with plastic wrap to raise the local skin temperature in order to achieve the goal of weight loss. The method will hinder the excretion of metabolites and have a significant impact on the health of the skin. Here's what you need to know about the cling film method of weight loss, in addition to harming the skin, and what other bad effects it has.

Causes dehydration

The cling film diet is a weight loss method that promotes sweating by raising the local skin temperature. Wrapping for a long time can lead to excessive sweat excretion, serious loss of electrolytes and imbalance, which in turn causes dehydration and weakness in the limbs.

Affects local blood circulation

When wrapping the body with plastic wrap, it is usually wrapped tightly to avoid shedding, which will compress the blood vessels under the skin and affect blood circulation. Blood circulation will be faster when exercising, and if the wrapping of the legs for a long time will also easily lead to varicose veins.

It is water not fat that is lost

In fact, the method is mainly to reduce water rather than fat. Weight loss is mostly caused by dehydration of the body, which is just an appearance. The water in local fat cells and other tissue cells temporarily infiltrates outward after the temperature rises, but this does not increase the consumption of fat. The weight goes back up after rehydration! Therefore, it is also not a scientifically effective way to lose weight.

Induces eczema, folliculitis and other skin diseases

After wrapping the cling film, the skin cannot breathe normally and the metabolites produced by the body movement cannot be eliminated in time and blocked in the pores, which will easily induce infections and cause skin diseases such as eczema and folliculitis. Sometimes our skin itches after removing the wrap, which is a sign of bacterial infection, so don't scratch it with your hands, it's easier to get infected if you scratch the skin.

Poor quality cling film also causes allergies

Cling film is a chemical product, and after exercise, the pores will open up to sweat. If the quality of the cling film is not up to par, some of the allergy-causing chemicals that decompose after the temperature rises will enter the skin through the pores and cause redness and allergy. Warm tip: The survey found that the plasticizer DEHA, which has long been banned in PVC cling film, is still being used by some foreign companies in China, and some supermarkets are even still using PVC cling film to wrap foods containing grease, which is a great safety hazard.

Cling film can reduce enzyme activity

Fat "burning" process involves many enzymes, and the optimal temperature for enzyme reaction in human body is between 35℃~40℃, once it exceeds 40℃, the enzyme activity will drop dramatically, and even decompose. Therefore, the local high temperature caused by wrapping the skin with plastic wrap does not necessarily promote fat consumption, but may also have the opposite effect.

How to avoid the harmful effects of the cling film diet

Clean up sweat stains in time

After using the cling film diet, it is important to clean off the metabolic waste on the surface of the skin in time to avoid infection caused by prolonged stay on the skin.

Reduce the time of wrapping

Keep the time spent wrapping the skin with plastic wrap to about half an hour, and do not exceed one hour. This will prevent the body from being overly dehydrated to a certain extent and also avoid sweat from staying on the skin for a long time leading to skin diseases.

Use less or no cling film diet

The cling film diet is not a healthy and effective diet, and can even be harmful to your health, especially if you use some poor quality cling film, which is also prone to skin infections. Therefore, it is best not to use cling film, and if you must try it, you must choose a quality cling film.

Choose a more scientific approach to weight loss

There are countless ways to lose weight, and there is no need to beat the cling film diet to death. For example, a sensible diet and exercise diet are healthy and scientific ways to lose weight without rebounding.
