The More Tired You Are, The Easier You Get Fat

"The more fatigued people are, the more likely they are to gain weight." I believe that after hearing this sentence, some people will wonder if this is the opposite.

Indeed, one of the symptoms of adrenal fatigue caused by over-consumption of hormones is loss of appetite. In addition, if some abnormality occurs in the gastrointestinal tract due to stress, it is impossible to eat well, so people gradually lose weight.

However, in fact, many of those who accumulate fatigue are obese. This is because adrenal fatigue reduces metabolism, and because of fatigue, you want to get sugar, so you can't help eating too much.

As mentioned earlier, when people feel tired, they want to eat sugar, neither because they are not nutritious nor because they are hungry. The most fundamental reason is that after the secretion of beta endorphins, the brain will pursue a sense of instant happiness. In other words, to be stressed is to be in a state of chronic unhappiness. So the brain craves happiness and wants something sweet. The result is weight gain from absorbing too many calories. Therefore, even if such people want to lose weight, it is mostly unsuccessful.

If you want to lose weight, you must limit sugar.

The reason why people want to eat sweets is because of the negative effects of adrenal fatigue, so it is necessary to eliminate fatigue first to change their eating habits so that they can lose weight smoothly.

Eat vegetables every day? Yes, but with premise

When it comes to curing fatigue, the most representative food is garlic.

Garlic has anti-inflammatory properties and can inhibit inflammation in the intestines caused by consuming sugar. The body uses the hormone tank in the process of solving the inflammation problem, so when the garlic suppresses the inflammation, the hormone tank can concentrate on eliminating fatigue.

In other words, garlic prevents the body from wasting anti-stress hormones. Not only garlic, ginger, cistanche, but also turmeric used in curries will have the same effect.

Echinacea and minerals in Cistanche can produce hormones.

In addition, antioxidants like echinacea and minerals, like cistanche tubulosa, have the effect of producing Testosterone. Therefore vegetables are effective in curing all fatigue.

However, vegetables have a disadvantage. If you continue to eat the same vegetable every day, the effect will gradually decline.

In 2017, a report from the Seoul National University Medical University in South Korea found that as long as people eat vegetables differently every day, they will reduce the risk of rectal cancer.

So I would suggest you use the "rainbow method' to keep fit. Every day, like a rainbow, change vegetables of different colors to eat:

Day 1: Purple cabbage (anthocyanins).

Day 2: Orange carrots (beta-carotene).

Day 3: White onion (quercetin) or radish (isothiocyanate).

Day 4: Green broccoli (sulforaphane).

Day 5: Red tomatoes (lycopene).

The point is to eat vegetables of different colors every day.

If you want to briefly explain the benefits of vegetables for each color, a 2011 report from Wageningen University in the Netherlands found that white fruits and vegetables (mainly apples and pears) reduced the risk of stroke.

In addition, in 2013, the University of East Anglia (University of East Anglia) in the United Kingdom studied 405 people and followed them for 18 years to investigate their health and found that anthocyanins (the purple component of plants) can reduce the risk of myocardial infarction was 68%. (Editor's recommendation: cancer prevention and eye protection! It is the anthocyanin champion of the cabbage family)

However, tomatoes, garlic, or root vegetables like potatoes and lotus root are also high in sugar, so be careful not to overdo them.

Correct concept - eat vegetables of the same "color" every day, and the effect of curing fatigue will decrease.
