Too much body fat will lead to chronic diseases! Nutritionist recommends: Vitality fruit and vegetable juices to reduce body fat

Modern people's poor eating habits, coupled with a general lack of exercise, lead to excessive accumulation of body fat, which has become the main cause of various chronic diseases. However, in addition to exercise, drinking a glass of vegetable and fruit juice that is rich in nutrients and dietary fiber every day can not only provide vitality, but also reduce body fat and say goodbye to "fat life".

Hong Ruopu, a nutritionist at the Zhongxiao branch of Taipei Municipal United Hospital, said that vegetable and fruit juices are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, which can promote metabolism, help the body better absorb nutrients, increase the metabolic rate, and thus reduce body fat. In addition, vegetable and fruit juices can supplement the nutrients needed by the body, enhance immunity, and prevent various diseases.

Skinny people can also have high body fat percentage

Nutritionist Hong Ruopu said that judging whether you are obese is no longer just about weight. The newer health indicator in medicine is "body fat percentage". Therefore, whether you are fat or thin, you may have a high body fat percentage.

For example, Japanese sumo wrestlers look bloated and obese, but due to exercise, their body fat percentage is controlled within 30%. However, thin people will still accumulate a lot of fat in their bodies if they do not exercise, and their fat percentage is high, which may even be higher than that of sumo wrestlers. They are the so-called "hidden obese people."

A more accurate body fat percentage needs to be detected by instruments. If it is too high, you must further test your blood pressure, blood sugar, liver function, etc. to confirm whether there are potential factors that endanger your health. After finding out the cause of obesity, you can design a suitable and sustainable diet control, exercise and lifestyle change.

Currently, the newer health indicator in medicine is "body fat percentage", so whether you are fat or thin, you may have a high body fat percentage.

Colorful fruit and vegetable juices replenish vitality and reduce fat

Regarding diet, nutritionist Hong Ruopu emphasized that fruits and vegetables are rich in phytochemicals, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant capacity, which can enhance immunity, provide the energy and vitality needed for human activities and exercise, and promote the body's normal metabolism of excess fat. However, according to surveys, the Chinese people's intake of fruits and vegetables is clearly insufficient, with the average daily intake of only 3.7 servings of fruits and vegetables, far below the "5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day" standard recommended by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. It is recommended that if you want to meet the standards, mixed vegetable and fruit juice is a good way.

If you want to meet the "5 fruits and vegetables a day" standard, mixed vegetable and fruit juice is a good way.
