Will a slimming belt damage your internal organs?

Weight loss is an eternal topic. Are the machines that claim to "help you lose weight" such as vibration belts, fat-shaking machines, and vibration elastic bars really effective in reducing weight? Let's listen to what the experts have to say.

What is its principle? It is called "shake and burn fat"

First, let's look at the working principle of the fat-shaking machine: it uses the principle of positive and negative balanced rotation and low-frequency vibration. Through 720-degree fat-shaking movements forward, backward, left, right, up and down, fat forms an upward vortex in the body, which is continuously absorbed into the lymph glands and then excreted from the body by accelerating gastrointestinal peristalsis. At the same time, the fat is constantly shaken to achieve the effect of burning fat, so it only takes ten minutes to easily achieve the effect of weight loss.

Can fat really be "shaken off"? Experts say this theory is absurd and pure gimmick. Even if we don't understand sports physiology, we can use common sense to judge: as a part of human tissue, if fat can be successfully shaken off and separated from the human body, then how can other tissues and organs, including blood and internal organs, be spared?

What is the "oil" that is thrown out? It may be the secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands

If what is thrown out is not fat, what is absorbed by the oil-absorbing paper? It is impossible to shake fat out of the body by low-frequency vibration. The human body surface has a strong protective barrier function. Even if the fat is thrown into small particles, it is impossible to escape from the body. The oily paper towels seen in advertisements may be the secretions of the sweat glands and sebaceous glands of the human body.

What will be the final result? It may bring "vibration disease"

The promotional material for the fat-shaking machine says: "Just standing lightly can solve all problems such as slimming waist, beautiful legs, and lifting buttocks."

Generally speaking, local vibration can promote blood circulation and sensory input, and is often used in clinical rehabilitation, but it is definitely not used for weight loss. The so-called passive exercise of the fat-shaking machine cannot achieve the purpose of weight loss, but may harm the body. "Dizziness, stomach discomfort, etc. are caused by 'vibration disease' caused by high-frequency vibration." If you are exposed to this high-frequency vibration machine for a long time, it will also aggravate the injuries to the muscles and ligaments of the human body.

How to lose weight correctly and healthily?

Generally, obese people can achieve ideal body shaping results by simply overcoming bad eating habits, adjusting their diet structure, controlling the total calories in their diet, and maintaining proper exercise.

If you are really hungry and need to eat at night, you may want to eat some low-energy foods, such as replacing fruits with vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, etc., which are healthy and filling. It is best not to drink milk at night, as milk is relatively high in protein and fat, which will affect the body's digestion and rest during sleep. You can instead drink vegetable soup, Tremella and wolfberry soup, vegetable juice, etc.

In addition, the editor recommends that everyone walk more than 6,000 steps a day or do about an hour of physical exercise and join the "walking tribe".
