Minus rediscovered! Chewing sugar-free gum to control appetite

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, be careful not to eat too many rice dumplings as you may gain weight. The survey found that eating one rice dumpling requires 10 kilometers of jogging to burn off the calories stored in the body. Nutritionists suggest that people can try a new health concept, namely "Weight Management 333": eat three balanced meals, exercise three times a week, chew slowly during the three meals; and reduce appetite by chewing sugar-free gum.

Nutritionist Li Wanping pointed out that one rice dumpling contains about 550 to 700 calories, which is equivalent to two large slices of fried chicken. If you eat two rice dumplings in one meal, it is equivalent to swallowing four large slices of fried chicken at one time. You will consume thousands of calories, causing your weight to rise sharply and you will inevitably become obese.

In fact, every Dragon Boat Festival, there is a wide variety of delicious rice dumplings, but behind the delicious food often lurks a high-calorie crisis; according to a survey conducted by "Pollster Online Survey", nearly 50% of the people believe that the reason for being overweight is eating more food outside of meals, such as high-calorie snacks and midnight snacks.

Chewing sugar-free gum to control appetite

The survey found that nearly 60% of people would chew sugar-free gum to help resist the temptation of snacks in order to manage their weight conveniently and effectively. According to a research report published in the internationally renowned electronic journal "Elsevier", chewing gum within 3 hours after lunch will make people less likely to feel hungry, significantly reduce the desire to eat sweets, and make it easier to maintain a sense of fullness.
