Between the challenges of losing weight and the diets that come into being every day to help us lose weight, we sometimes forget the essential interest of this weight loss: that of taking care of one's health. Thus, instead of draconian diets and intense physical exercises, discover this Japanese method that will revolutionize the way you lose weight!
The human body consists, among others, adipose tissue, that is to say a set of cells, the adipocytes, which serve as a reservoir for fat. They are located in different parts of the body and are distinguished by brown adipose tissue, as a source of heat, and white adipose tissue, the main energy reserve of the body. Moreover, this tissue, which forms a fat mass under the epidermis, protects the organs. However, excessive accumulation of adipose tissue is often responsible for overweight and obesity. Indeed, as explained by Professor Max Lafontan, research director of the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) on obesity, adipocytes increase in size according to what we eat. Note that the fat is made especially from glucose and fatty acids.
Obviously, having a balanced diet and practicing physical activity (daily walk etc ...) plus sports sessions can change the regulation of adipose tissue genes, so to slim down and fight against obesity and type 2 diabetes according to the study carried out by researchers from the University of Lund, Sweden.
But when we lose weight, where does fat go?
According to a study published in the British Medical Journal by Australian researchers Ruben Meerman and Andrew Brown, fat is released through the lungs as carbon (CO2), respiration, and water vapor (H20). ), by perspiration and urine. They explain that to lose 10 kg of fat, it would therefore breathe 28 kilos of oxygen. The grease will then escape in 8.4 kg of CO2 and 1.6 kg of water.
Thus, without breathing excessively at the risk of suffering from hyperventilation, it is appropriate to play sports because it actually increases the need for oxygen but also to practice breathing exercises, such as this Japanese method, to lose weight.
The Japanese Technique: the "Breath Diet"
Developed by Miki Ryosuke, who would have lost 28 Pounds and 12 cm of waist in 6 weeks, the "Breath Diet" is a Japanese method that is based on this principle of breathing and weight loss. Thus, it is to perform long-breathing exercises daily, lasting from 2 to 5 minutes.
To do this, you must put one leg forward and the other backward. Then, transfer your entire weight to your back leg and inhale through the nose for 3 seconds, raising your arms up, then exhale deeply through your mouth for 7 seconds, stretching all of your body's muscles .
With healthy eating and physical activity, you'll quickly see weight loss and reduced stress and anxiety, often the cause of snacking.
Warnings: This method of long breathing is contraindicated in people with cardiovascular disorders and asthma.
