Debunking 3 myths about weight loss! Controlling aging helps with weight management

The numbers speak! Obesity has long been a serious problem in the 21st century. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), in two years, there will be nearly 2.3 billion overweight adults in the world, surpassing malnutrition for the first time! In addition, a survey also found that 65% of respondents were dissatisfied with their body shape, which shows that weight control is urgent. Obese people must master three key points to manage their weight: gain muscle, lose fat, and maintain a good mood. Under this new concept, innovative scientific research "four core" nutritional products are available to choose from, creating an opportunity to restart your life.

Obese people must master three key points to manage their weight: gain muscle, lose fat, and maintain a good mood.

Controlling the speed of aging can help influence weight

Many people have tried various weight loss methods, and there are also many myths about weight loss. The most common misconceptions include: "Obesity is genetic, and genes are the destiny of obesity", "Using a single method can successfully lose weight", and "Controlling BMI body mass index means that weight has been controlled."

Dr. Runhai Zeng, whose book "Myths of Aging" once topped the New York Times bestseller list, is not only a Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of London, but is also currently the Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President of NU SKIN Group. He said that when it comes to weight management, we must rely on science to replace myths. In fact, scientific research breakthroughs now make it possible to influence weight by controlling the rate of aging.

New concept of weight loss: lose fat instead of muscle

Dr. Zeng Runhai said that although genes are important, the expression of genes in each tissue is different. Take the study of identical twins as an example. Logically, the genetic structure of the two people should be the same, but why is one obese and the other strong? It turned out that by observing the gene expression of the two people's fat tissue, it was found that the expression of metabolic genes was different. Weight management is a very complex science. Obesity cannot be solved by a single panacea. It also involves factors such as lifestyle, stress, and environment.

In addition, the BMI value is an indicator of dieting. It only considers height and weight, but it cannot understand how much of the weight is composed of body fat. In particular, although body fat is light in weight, it takes up a lot of space. Fat should be reduced and muscles should be kept firm. Firm muscles are the "locomotive of metabolism" and can burn unnecessary calories. Therefore, the key to losing weight is to lose fat rather than weight, and to maintain muscle firmness. Once the muscle is reduced, the metabolism will slow down and the walking ball effect will occur, and you may become fatter.

Recharging the mitochondria can prevent early aging

Finding the secret code that links anti-aging and weight management is a major breakthrough in current anti-aging research. NU SKIN Group, which has long been investing in innovative anti-aging research, began studying the root causes of anti-aging in 2009 through Dr. Zeng Runhai's research team. Many years ago, Dr. Zeng Runhai began to think about how to maintain a high quality of life for humans after his father passed away. He accidentally discovered that certain specific gene groups (also called "youth gene groups") are closely related to aging. He then began to look for genes that control aging from gene clusters. As expected, he found an anti-aging gene cluster related to mitochondria. As long as the mitochondria can be "charged", early aging can be prevented.

After further cooperation with Zhu Jiashi, MD, from Stanford University School of Medicine, it was unexpectedly discovered that Cordyceps sinensis is helpful for muscle mitochondria, pomegranate is helpful for brain mitochondria, and ginseng has a supplementary effect on heart mitochondria.

Three keys to weight loss: muscle gain, fat loss, and a good mood

In 2011, NU SKIN acquired LifeGen, an American company that owns 30 years of cell and tissue gene database and research results, which further advanced the development of ageLOC anti-aging technology. In particular, the innovative anti-aging technology nutritional products that were just launched in the United States in October this year are representative works. They are specially designed to help obese people master the three keys to weight loss: "gain muscle, reduce fat, and maintain a good mood" to manage their weight. Through this "Restart Your Life Plan" and maintaining a balanced diet and moderate exercise, they can gradually achieve the goal of "Restarting Your Life" through weight management.

New scientific research nutritional supplements to restart your life

1. Rapid weight loss: 15 days before weight management, in order to prepare the body to reset genes, use the main ingredients including: dragon fruit, pomegranate and red orange to reduce the appetite.

2. Burn it all off: As the name suggests, it continues to help grow muscles, while also reducing body fat accumulation. The main ingredients include: green tea extract, lotus leaf extract and pomegranate extract, etc.

3. Lelekong: It is a concept of appetite management and has enough willpower to stick to it. The main ingredients include: cocoa powder extract, pomegranate extract, red orange, etc.

4. Control fullness: reduce body fat by supplementing high-quality protein. The main ingredient is amino acid chelated protein powder containing multiple minerals and vitamins. According to dietary nutrition recommendations, you need to consume at least 30 grams of protein at each meal to help reduce body fat.

Although there are new scientific research products to assist with weight management, don't forget the "3333 healthy diet" principle in your daily life: 3333 = 3 servings of whole grains + 3 servings of protein + 3 servings of vegetables + 3 servings of fruit per day (1 serving is the size of a fist). You must consume an even amount at each meal so that you don't have to go hungry and you can eat easily and without burden. More importantly, you should be in a good mood.
