Wear high heels to lose weight quickly? These 3 ways to suppress appetite are healthier

Wearing high heels has the effect of visually extending the legs and making people look thinner. There is also a rumor on the Internet that when women wear high heels, their feet are squeezed and blood circulation in the lower limbs is poor, which affects the feeding center and has the effect of suppressing appetite. However, nutritionists say that this statement has no medical basis. If you want to improve weight loss results by suppressing your appetite, there are three more effective and healthy methods.

Wearing high heels has many health concerns and the claim that they suppress appetite lacks evidence

Huang Xiaotong's nutritionist said that there is currently no research or data to prove that wearing high heels will suppress appetite, so this statement is not true. The statement that wearing high heels will affect appetite is purely an Internet rumor. However, it is obvious that wearing high heels for a long time or for a long time can easily cause improper effects on bones and joints.

[Four major bone risks of wearing high heels]

1. Flat feet: Wearing high heels for a long time will cause weakness in the foot muscles and concentrate the body weight on a certain part of the sole of the foot, causing changes in the shape of the foot and easily forming flat feet.

2. Hallux valgus: Wearing pointed high-heeled shoes in particular will squeeze the big toe, and the weight of the body leans forward when wearing high-heeled shoes, which aggravates the compression of the toes and will lead to hallux valgus in the long run.

3. Lumbar pain: Wearing high heels will change the body's load-bearing point and excessively bend the lumbar spine, which can easily damage the joints and waist, and will cause back pain in the long run.

4. Knee joint injury: Over-extension of the knee increases the load pressure, causing atrophy and weakness of the muscles around the knee, and even causing knee arthritis.

Prevent obesity and control weight! First, understand where appetite comes from

Instead of believing in the rumor that wearing high heels can suppress appetite, it is better to first understand how the brain controls appetite, find out the operating mechanism, and then adjust the content and method of diet to suppress appetite in a healthy and safe way, thereby improving weight loss results.

Nutritionist Huang Xiaotong explained that there are many factors that affect appetite. In addition to the brain center, it is also affected by the nervous system, hormones (such as ghrelin), environmental factors (food availability, temperature), emotional stress, blood sugar concentration and other diseases.

The hypothalamus in the brain is the integration center that regulates hunger and satiety. If sufficient satiety signals are not generated, the hunger signals in the brain will be stronger than the satiety signals for a long time, causing long-term overeating and leading to obesity. When the stomach is empty or the blood sugar concentration is very low, the stomach will secrete a hunger signal - ghrelin, which prompts the hypothalamus to secrete hunger signals to stimulate the hunger center, thereby inducing eating.

Suppress your appetite with these 3 tips to lose weight healthily without worries

If you want to defeat obesity, "How to suppress appetite in a healthy way" is the first compulsory course. Nutritionist Huang Xiaotong recommends that people who want to lose weight can reduce their appetite and avoid obesity due to overeating through the following three dietary adjustments.

1. Eat protein foods before meals: The protein metabolism in food can reduce the secretion of ghrelin, which will bring a short-term feeling of fullness and thus reduce the desire to eat. It is recommended to drink a glass of unsweetened soy milk or milk before meals, which has good effects.

2. Adjust the order of eating meals: When eating formally, eat in the order of "soup → vegetables → meat/fish (protein) → rice". After drinking soup and eating fiber-rich vegetables, the stomach is already half full, which can increase the feeling of fullness, reduce hunger, and thus reduce appetite.

3. Eat foods high in tryptophan: Tryptophan is the raw material of serotonin, which has the effect of relaxing and calming people, and can also suppress appetite. Food sources of tryptophan include: meat (higher in red meat), milk, cheese, soybeans and their products, tofu, bananas, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. It should be noted that nuts are high in calories and excessive intake will increase the burden on the body and cause obesity.

[Nutritionist's Tips]:

There is currently no one diet that is healthy for weight loss. The key to healthy weight loss is to have a balanced diet, eat three meals at regular times and in regular amounts, supplement with dietary fiber and vitamins, and exercise regularly. People should not blindly believe in folk remedies or take overly drastic measures in order to lose weight quickly, so as not to sacrifice their health.
