Exercise is not enough to lose weight and fat! 4 powerful supplements! Nutritionist: Caffeine and probiotics improve athletic performance

In the post-epidemic era, as the country's borders open up, everyone has gradually returned to normal life. Many people have found that they have gained a lot of fat and their weight has soared. They realized that they must start a major battle to lose weight. However, if you want to lose body fat, it is not enough to just go to the gym and work out. Nutritionists say that moderate intake of supplements, especially caffeine to improve concentration and endurance, probiotics to help improve athletic performance and other four supplements, can make losing body fat more effective.

In order to understand the feeling of using sports supplements, nutritionist Lin Shihang gathered 30 people who wanted to lose weight, and used a 6-week exercise course plus sports supplements (including probiotics, caffeine, B vitamins and vitamin D) to let the participants share their exercise feelings after use. The participants believed that after taking sports probiotics and caffeine supplements, their overall score for sports performance was close to 74 points, and people with a healthier BMI had a higher score, reaching 81.7 points. Moreover, there is positive feedback in terms of increasing exercise time, reducing exercise fatigue and restoring physical strength the next day.

Sports supplements not only help metabolism, but also help improve exercise effectiveness. They can have a double benefit in terms of weight loss, helping athletes exercise longer and of course improving weight loss results. After 6 weeks of experience, the participants lost an average of 1.1 kg in weight and 3.1% in body fat. After group statistics, it was found that the participants who supplemented with more complete servings had an average reduction of 2.5-4.4% in body fat and an average weight reduction of 1-1.7 kg.

4 Sports Supplements

caffeine

Caffeine is one of the most common sports supplements for athletes. Drinking a cup of Americano before exercise can have a great effect on exercise! The main reason is that coffee can stimulate the sympathetic nerves and muscle reactions, and can also act on the brain to help improve concentration. Therefore, it helps with the burst and endurance of exercise, making exercise more powerful.

For probiotics suitable for athletes, it is recommended to use a strain of Lactobacillus plantarum. Past studies have found that it can enhance the body's use of glucose, so it can stimulate metabolism and improve endurance performance.

Probiotics for sports

In addition, for probiotics suitable for athletes, it is recommended to use a strain of Lactobacillus plantarum. Past studies have found that it can enhance the body's use of glucose, so it can stimulate metabolism and improve endurance performance. At the same time, it can reduce the feeling of fatigue after exercise, so you can exercise longer, help build muscle and lose fat.

Vitamin B complex

Most B vitamins are involved in the energy metabolism process. Past studies have found that athletes can maintain a better athletic state if they take in enough B vitamins.

Vitamin D

In addition, Taiwanese people's vitamin D intake is also very poor, but vitamin D is indeed the key to maintaining exercise muscle function and immune response. In particular, immunity is prone to decline after intense exercise. We can rely on sufficient vitamin D to help us maintain good physical condition.

Nutritionist Lin Shihang reminds us that athletic performance is related to exercise intensity, exercise supplements, and eating habits, so nutritionists recommend a three-pronged approach. Not only should we gradually increase exercise intensity, but we should also adjust our diet by reducing sugar or adjusting the ratio of carbohydrates to protein, and with the help of sports supplements, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort in athletic performance.
