Translation - English 10 points to consider for those who decided to lose excess weight. What is usually omitted in popular articles?
Excessive weight is a real problem for many people. I collected interesting facts from a variety of research findings that hopefully will help you shape your body in a desirable way.
1. Don’t get obsessed about counting calories. Our calculations are not always objective.
It doesn’t matter how many calories food contains. It’s more important whether they were metabolised or not. According to the research, the harder our body works to digest food, the more calories it will spend on metabolising it, and, therefore, the fewer calories will be absorbed.
Food, that’s not processed, (it contains a lot of fibre), such as raw products, meat done rare, makes our gut actively spend calories on metabolising them. Therefore, this kind of food delivers fewer calories than easily-digestible food. Calories indicated on a product’s label doesn’t objectively reflect what happens in our body. If your diet consists of fresh, natural, not pre-packed products, it will give you huge benefits in terms of calories’ consumption.
2. Take care of your gut.
According to the research by the American scientists, a gut of people who are fighting with the excessive weight has more bacteria classified as Firmicutes, in comparison to the bacteria classified as Bacteroidetes.
Bacteria Firmicutes wonderfully extracts calories from food. It means that these people get more calories from food, in comparison to people whose gut has fewer bacteria that are calories-friendly.
How can we change this situation? You can’t change a set of bacteria by consuming probiotics. Let’s turn our attention to enriched fats (margarine, animal fat, coconut and palm oils) and sugar. Experts are convinced that they help Firmucutes flourish. The fewer enriched fats and simple sugars we have in our diet, the higher chance of changing the bacteria balance towards the bacteria classified as Bacteroidetes.
So what practical advice emerges from this? — Less pizza and cakes, more fruit and vegetables.
3. Take a cold shower to store the beneficial “brown fatty tissue.”
We gain weight with age. One of the reasons for this is a gradual decline in the activity of the “brown fatty tissue”.
In contrast to white fat, brown fat burns calories, which increases our metabolism.
The ways to reanimate the activity of the “brown fatty tissue” are currently widely researched by the weight-loss professionals.
Cold temperatures can activate brown fat due to its functional properties. Timothy Ferris, in his book “a 4-hours body” offers a full range of activities. I couldn’t find the book in Russian, but the original can be downloaded here. Nothing apart the from cold therapy is being offered currently. I recommend to use it wisely to avoid pneumonia instead of losing weight.
4. Melatonin fights with the excessive weight.
A research group from the University of Granada (Spain) together with their colleagues from the American Scientific and Wellbeing Centre solved the puzzle of melatonin’s benefits to weight control by showing how this hormone helps to treat diabetes and hyperlipidaemia. As a rule, this hormone is generated in the pineal gland at night, which helps us sleep. The scientists found that melatonin induces the creation of brown fat tissue, a special type of fat cells that burns calories. The results of this study are published in the Journal of Pineal Research.
This hormone in its natural form exists in some fruit and vegetables, such as cherry, oranges, pineapple, almond, sunflower seed, mustard, goji berry, cardamon, fennel and coriander.
5. Does 30- or 60-minute training help to lose more body weight?
Wonderful discoveries were made by scientists at the University of Copenhagen. Those who spend 30 minutes training lose more weight than those who train for an hour.
Why? Because a short session makes us work more intensively and we end up doing more exercise.
I can confirm from my experience that if there is a limited time to exercise, there is more motivation to train more intensively. Sometimes I ask someone in the gym: “Why did you work with half strength? At the end, you didn’t complete the program, you didn’t work in your full capacity, didn’t gain the result you were counting for. Most of the time I get the same answer: “I saved my strength to work to my maximum capacity at the end of the workout.
What else can I say?
6. Fitness is not the only solution for losing weight.
Yes, physical activity is important, but what about a diet?
The findings of the University of Michigan, the USA, show that those who believe in the effect of physical exercise for losing weight have more weight than those who believe that changing their diet will give them better results.
“When people increase their physical activity in the attempt to lose weight, they often gain more calories or they overestimate the number of burnt calories. This lowers their result,” says the researcher, professor Brent MacFerran.
Exercise regularly, but don’t forget to examine what you eat. Only this way, you will gain a maximum result from your efforts.
7. Don’t lie on a couch.
You already know that a lack of sleep is directly related to weight gain. However, the latest research findings suggest that the reason for it is not only the quantity, but also quality of sleep.
Sleeping patterns mean a great deal for our health and, therefore, for weight control. American researchers found out that those who have irregular sleeping patterns (including the time lying on a couch) have more fat than those who have a regular sleep schedule.
8. Do everything quickly.
You can’t go to the gym today? No biggie. You can just do your everyday activities at a faster pace.
Research concludes that those who don’t go to the gym burn more calories when they do their usual work more energetically, than when they try improving their physical shape by doing formal exercises in a gym.
Physical activity specialists recommend dedicating at least 150 minutes per week to a fast walking. It will allow you to control your body weight, blood pressure and cholesterol.
9. Ask yourself why you are hungry
Deepack Chopra, doctor of medical sciences and author of bestselling books, offers interesting ideas in his book “What are you hungry for?” “If you are not happy with your life, it will be hard to have a control over your weight,” says Chopra. You will always try to fill the hole in your life with food, even if you are not hungry. If you can find a better way to be happy, your body will find its balance.
10. Remember that your stomach can’t count.
Dr Brian Wansink discovered that snacking (a few chips, a chocolate bar or an apple) suppresses a feeling of hunger just like a portion that is 10 times bigger.
A secret lies in eating a tiny portion of a meal and then doing something else for 15 minutes. You will discover that you will lose the urge to eat once you distract yourself.
Enjoy a process of losing weight!
English to Russian: What Your Microbiome Wants for Dinner General field: Science Detailed field: Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Source text - English How is it that the bulk of what humanity now eats could undermine our health?
Imagine you are at a Fourth of July barbecue. You saunter over to the grill to take a look at the fare. The pork ribs look great so you spear a few and add a heap of homemade sauerkraut on the side. You grab a handful of corn chips and a few pieces of celery. The vegetable skewers look good too, so you add one to the pile on your plate. And what would the Fourth of July be without macaroni salad and pie?
You lift a rib to your mouth and start gnawing. A forkful of sauerkraut mingles well with the meat and you crunch your way through another mouthful. The macaroni squishes between your teeth, but the celery takes some chewing. It all slips down the hatch and lands in the acid vat of your stomach where gastric acids start dissolving the bits of food.
Translation - Russian Почему большая часть того, что сейчас ест человечество может подорвать наше здоровье?
Представьте, что находитесь на барбекю в честь Четвертого июля. Вы не спеша подходите к грилю, чтобы взглянуть на блюда. Свиные ребрышки выглядят так аппетитно, что вы все-таки решаетесь съесть несколько штук и к тому же и добавить горстку домашней квашеной капусты. Потом посыпаете сверху кукурузные чипсы и несколько кусочков сельдерея. Овощные шашлычки тоже апеллирует, и вы, долго не думая, накладываете и их на уже и так полную тарелку. Вдруг вас осеняет - а как же обойтись без макаронного салата и пирога на Четвертое июля?
В предвкушении, вы преподносите ребрышко к губам и жадно его грызёте. Квашеная капуста с мясом – отличное сочетание, и Вы со смаком забрасывайте в рот еще один кусочек. Макароны легко проскальзывают сквозь зубы, а вот сельдерей нужно немного пережевывать. Всё это богатство мчится вниз по люку-пищеводу и приземляется в кислотную бочку вашего желудка, где желудочная кислота сразу же начинает расщеплять кусочки еды.
