Sports and Weight Loss

Obesity is a genetic defect both food and lack of exercise and other environmental factors affect the multi-factor disease.

Promoting sports has become a major world health promotion initiative. Such non-drug, economic, and no side effects measures have become an indispensable part of weight loss, especially for China’s national conditions.

Sports nutrition is recognized with reasonably good way to lose weight, mainly due to:

1. Exercise regulation of energy balance exercise is conducive to maintaining a reasonable body weight and body fat. Exercise was negatively correlated with body mass index.

Exercise consumption of energy, increased intake of fat in skeletal muscle, activation of β oxidation pathway, reduce body fat, so that being overweight can lower weight and body fat levels in the establishment of a new energy balance.

2. Sports regulate fat metabolism and gene expression of lipoprotein. Our experiments repeatedly shown that high fat, high-cholesterol diet can, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein concentrations were significantly increased, so that low-density lipoprotein receptor gene (LDL-RmRNA) was significantly reduced.

Aerobic exercise training can reduce body fat rat model of hyperlipidemia, lower serum cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein B and other pathogenicity lipid levels, effective in preventing hyperlipidemia.

ApoE-deficient mice with experimental results show that: aerobic exercise training to ApoE-deficient mice liver, adrenal gland, testis, ovary and other tissues of high-density lipoprotein receptor gene expression of SR-B1mRNA significant increase in benefit atherosclerosis sclerosis prevention.

3. Exercise a certain degree can be a powerful counterbalance to the influence of obesity genes, is to reduce chronic disease risk factors in the important part.

Weight loss exercise, weight loss, exercise should be taken, the low intensity (VO2max <60%), including the large muscle groups, rules, repeat mode, at least 3 to 5 times per week, preferably once a day, sustained more than 60min (the beginning of Note step by step), the energy consumption to 300 – +30 kcal or more, can be taken to walking, jogging, swimming, playing, climbing, cycling dancing up and down stairs, and some indoor sports and other means.

 

Excessive drinking red wine contributes to obesity

Red wine has been recognized as a health food world, but excessive drinking also contributes to obesity. Studies have shown that wine is made from grain or fruit by the yeast fermentation, the alcohol content the higher the concentration of alcohol, the calories are relatively high. If you want to know how every time after drinking the number of calories intake, you can use a formula of alcohol calories: drinking volume (ml) × 7 = alcohol calories. The results showed that 250 ml glass of wine or beer, and the heat is almost a bowl of rice, about 240 calories. Although alcohol is easy to gain weight, but the small amount of alcohol and help to maintain the health of the heart and blood vessels.

However, a small amount to the so-called because of different gender, age, physical fitness, personal body absorption rate and the ability of the liver break down alcohol varies. Asians than Westerners because of small body, so the Eastern men drinking two glasses of 355 ml a day up to 142 ml of beer or wine or 43 ml spirits, female drinker should be halved, at least two days a week should never drink.
