The magical lemon vinegar has an upgraded weight loss power, is it more powerful than lemon water? Famous weight loss doctor: Beware of hidden "sugar trap"

Lemon can be called a "green weight loss fruit". Are you also a "lemon weight loss person"? Female stars Song Hye Kyo, Jolin Tsai, and Michelle Chen have all been said to lose weight by drinking lemon water. Many people firmly believe that drinking a glass of lemon juice when they wake up in the morning can boost metabolism, help burn fat, and detoxify. In addition, many girls also choose to drink "lemon vinegar", believing that it is more effective in losing weight than drinking lemon water! A famous weight loss doctor said that eating lemon vinegar in moderation is good for your health, but consuming too much may cause alarm in the digestive tract!

People with slightly cold stomach acid drink lemon water at night, but it will hurt the stomach instead of losing weight

Can drinking lemon water really help you lose weight? Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that if we first look at the nutritional content of lemons, lemons contain a large amount of vitamin C, which has good antioxidant properties, and the beauty effect is not to be mentioned; and in the process of energy metabolism, vitamin C does increase the carnitine content, indirectly promoting energy metabolism, but to achieve the effect of burning fat, you may have to consume a very large amount. If you drink lemon water at the wrong time, for example, if you have a slightly cold stomach acid, drinking lemon water at night will make the stomach acid worse, resulting in damage to the stomach instead of weight loss.

In addition, lemon water is also rich in nutrients such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium citrate, phosphorus, iron, and potassium. It is worth mentioning that among fruits, lemon is known as the "citric acid warehouse". If the three major nutrients of food are carbohydrates, fats and proteins, citric acid is a major channel for the decomposition and metabolism of these three substances. Citric acid also plays the role of a "metabolic hub", providing small molecule precursors for other anabolism.

Can drinking lemon water help you lose weight? Doctor: I feel lighter now that the stool has been cleared up.

Although citric acid can promote metabolism, it is only an intermediate product of metabolism in the body, not an essential raw material for promoting metabolism. Therefore, supplementing citric acid through food does not actually help metabolism.

In the process of energy metabolism, the vitamin C contained in lemon will indeed increase the carnitine content and indirectly promote energy metabolism. However, to achieve the effect of burning fat, it may be necessary to consume a very large amount.

Generally speaking, according to physiological principles, cold food will slow down metabolism, so it is not recommended to drink cold lemon water.

Some people claim that drinking lemon water can help you lose weight. It may be that after drinking lemon water, bowel movements are smoother. Once the stool accumulation is resolved, you will feel lighter and think that you have successfully lost weight. In fact, this is still an "illusion." And according to the foreign health website "Prevention", the myth that lemon water can help lose weight has been debunked. I hope everyone will no longer believe it easily. Because when lemon is squeezed into water, the amount of fiber that helps weight loss has been greatly reduced. At most, it can be said that drinking lemon water replaces carbonated drinks or other sugary drinks. Due to its low calories, it helps to reduce overall calories and achieve the effect of reducing obesity.

Cold food will slow down metabolism, so drinking cold lemon water is not recommended.

There is an English proverb: "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade", which means "When life gives you sour and bitter lemons, you can make them into sweet and delicious lemonade." The extended meaning is that when you encounter something unpleasant, if you can change your perspective and put in a little more effort, you can turn it into a good thing. It seems that adding a little sugar to lemon water will make it taste better and easier to drink. But is it good to drink lemon water with sugar? It is recommended to drink it without adding sugar or honey so as not to add excess calories and create a burden on the body. In addition, when is the best time to drink lemon water? Generally speaking, according to physiological principles, cold food will slow down metabolism, so it is not recommended to drink cold lemon water.

Be aware that most of the vinegars sold in the market that are advertised as health-promoting vinegars contain fructose and sugar, so be careful about the calories when consuming them.

Is lemon vinegar really effective for weight loss? Doctor: Vinegar contains potassium ions, which helps excrete sodium and improve edema

After discussing lemon water, let’s now discuss the equally popular “lemon vinegar for weight loss”. Does it work? Dr. Liu Bowen said that generally speaking, moderate consumption of vinegar is helpful to health, but excessive consumption can also cause digestive problems. Because edible vinegar generally contains potassium ions, which can help the excretion of sodium salts. As the amount of sodium ions decreases, the edema phenomenon will improve.

However, it should be noted that most of the health-promoting vinegars sold in the market contain fructose and sugar. On average, one small cup of 30CC fruit vinegar or apple cider vinegar contains more than 70 calories. If you drink three small cups in a row, it is equivalent to the calories in a bowl of white rice, which is really shocking. If you want to drink vinegar, it is recommended to drink it half an hour after dinner at night. It is less irritating to the stomach and intestines and helps digestion. The effect will be better if you add an appropriate amount of honey to drink it together.

【Health Tips】:

Reminder: If you choose lemon vinegar, please note that both lemon and vinegar are very acidic. Drinking too much on an empty stomach will damage your stomach, so be careful if you want to try it. In particular, people with gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers should be careful about drinking too much, as it may cause gastric bleeding, so they need to drink in moderation. No matter how strong your stomach and intestines are, it is not suitable to drink vinegar on an empty stomach, so as to avoid stimulating excessive secretion of stomach acid and damaging the stomach wall.
