See the answer first:
For this question, Chao Ge is more inclined to answer this question: Hawthorn helps to strengthen the spleen and promote digestion, but it has little effect on losing weight, so it can be said that there is almost no effect.
Weight loss mechanism
Obesity is due to the fact that the intake of calories is greater than the consumption, and the remaining calories remain in the body and are converted into fat. In the long run, fat accumulates in the body and leads to obesity.
So to lose weight is to break this phenomenon, to eat less oil and less fat, to avoid taking in too many calories, and to release the excess calories in our body in time when meeting the normal needs of the human body. Exercise is an intuitive way to consume calories.
But the most important thing is to control your mouth and then take your legs.
Why do you say that hawthorn has little weight loss effect?
Hawthorn is a kind of fruit with homology of medicine and food, and it is rich in nutrition. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is a good medicine for invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, resolving food stagnation, promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm.
This is because hawthorn contains more vitamins C, B2, carotene and various organic acids, which can increase the secretion of pepsin, help digestion and stimulate appetite [1].
Therefore, in this respect, eating more hawthorn may make you eat more.
However, the related research did study the degradation of fat cells by hawthorn [2].
Studies have shown that adipocytes are closely related to the occurrence of obesity. They can not only temporarily store excessive energy in the body, but also differentiate and express key enzymes and transporters related to energy synthesis and metabolism. Hawthorn can obviously improve the metabolism of fat cells, reduce the expression of some cytokines that affect obesity and achieve the purpose of lowering blood fat. However, there is little research on the internal mechanism of this aspect, and further research is needed.
There are also some compound hawthorn soups, the basic formula is composed of hawthorn 30g, Alisma orientalis 20g, prepared rhubarb 10g, Curcuma aromatica 10g, etc., which are decocted in water, daily 1 dose, and taken in the morning and evening. 40 days was a course of treatment, and 43 subjects were tested. The results show that the compound hawthorn slimming soup can effectively reduce the tangible components such as lipids and lipoproteins in plasma, and has a certain weight loss effect on simple obese people. How to prolong the taking period remains to be further explored [3].
Here, hawthorn is only an ingredient in this soup, and it is not known whether it really plays an important role in lowering blood fat.
summary
Although related research shows that hawthorn has a certain relationship with lipid-lowering and weight loss, the direct effect of hawthorn on weight loss is not obvious.
On the contrary, its digestive effect is well known, which can help the digestion of food in the body to provide energy for sugar to the body, but the most important thing to lose weight is to radiate these calories out of the body, so exercise is king.

As we all know, hawthorn is not only a fruit, but also a traditional Chinese medicine. Hawthorn is sour, sweet and slightly warm, and the meridian tropism belongs to the spleen, stomach and liver meridians. The traditional Chinese medicine has the functions of promoting digestion and removing blood stasis, promoting qi circulation and removing blood stasis. Especially good at eliminating meat stagnation.
According to the research report on the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine, the fatty acids contained in hawthorn can promote fat digestion, increase the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach to promote digestion, and adjust the gastrointestinal flora. It has been reported that hawthorn can increase the content of high-density cholesterol and increase the excretion of fat; Chinese medicine believes that hawthorn only needs to be supplemented, so when hawthorn is eaten as a fruit, people with poor gastrointestinal function, such as acid reflux, heartburn, insufficient digestive function and weak spleen and stomach, should not use it more.
Hawthorn is helpful to lose weight, but according to the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, hawthorn has a strong digestion effect, which encourages appetite after taking it. If you can't control your diet, you can't lose weight if you eat too much at every meal and don't pay attention to exercise. Hawthorn has a strong function of reducing blood lipid, and has the effects of health care, promoting blood circulation, calming, antioxidation and bacteriostasis. If a lady has spots on her face, she can soak in water to promote microcirculation, improve local blood flow and eliminate facial skin defects. In addition, hawthorn is mild in nature, enters the liver meridian, promotes qi circulation and blood circulation, has the effect of removing stasis, and has remarkable effect in treating abdominal pain and lochia due to menstrual and postpartum stasis.
In short, hawthorn has many functions. We use hawthorn to lose weight every day, but it can't shape. Therefore, if we want to lose weight and get a good figure, we still need exercise and fitness to use it together. Suggestion: soak in water 10- 15g after meals every day, about 3-5 slices of raw hawthorn, and act for half an hour after meals, and try to exercise and move your limbs.
Introduction: Crataegus pinnatifida, also known as Crataegus pinnatifida, is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine for both medicine and food. When it comes to Crataegus pinnatifida, people's first reaction is its digestion promoting and appetizing effects.

The function and efficacy of hawthorn
1. Hawthorn invigorating stomach and resolving food stagnation
Hawthorn tablets contain citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, enzymes, protein and carbohydrates, which can lower blood pressure and promote gastrointestinal digestion.
2. Hawthorn tablets can lower blood pressure.
Hawthorn tablets contain triterpenes and brass, which have obvious effects of dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, regulating blood lipid and lowering cholesterol.
3. Reduce fat and lose weight
Hawthorn can strengthen the spleen and eliminate food stagnation, which is beneficial to lose weight and can be used as an adjuvant to treat secondary obesity. Hawthorn has the function of appetizing and resolving food accumulation. Will it lead to obesity and increase blood lipid if you eat more and more? Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Hawthorn is appetizing because it tastes sour. Eating too much stimulates gastric acid secretion, and we will feel hungry. Therefore, if you want to use hawthorn to remove fat, you must not eat a large amount as soon as you come up. If your stomach is greatly stimulated, you will secrete a lot of gastric acid. You will definitely feel hungry and eat more. This will not only fail to remove fat, but will be counterproductive. Therefore, we must gradually increase the dosage from less to more, so that the stomach can adapt to it. Only in this way can we play the role of hawthorn.
Hawthorn is the main raw material of the famous Sugar-Coated Berry, hawthorn fruit. Hawthorn is found in all provinces in the north and south, so its efficacy is naturally the best in the north.
The most important function of hawthorn is digestion, such as dealing with all kinds of food stagnation, which has obvious effects. As we know, there are many reasons for indigestion, such as eating more rice, noodles and fruits, or greasy meat.
Fats, that is, greasy, have remarkable effects.
Through further pharmacological proof, scientists have proved that hawthorn can digest food mainly because it contains lipolytic enzyme, which can promote gastrointestinal transport, thus enhancing "gastric motility".
In addition, hawthorn also has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is mainly used for blood stasis syndrome in gynecological diseases, such as dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation and postpartum abdominal pain.
So can hawthorn lose weight?
Modern pharmacology has found that hawthorn can dilate the blood flow of coronary artery, and achieve the purposes of lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure and strengthening heart.

Hawthorn has always been a common product in the lives of ordinary people, and all kinds of snacks made of hawthorn are always indispensable in our childhood memories.
In recent years, with the change of our life rhythm and way, hawthorn has been gradually used to lose weight from snacks for digestion, for example, soaking a cup of hawthorn water in the office for digestion, or special hawthorn slimming tea made on the Internet, etc. So can hawthorn really lose weight?
The relevant information was consulted as follows: Hawthorn is sour and sweet, and its functions are: first, digestion, and multi-purpose burnt hawthorn; The second is to disperse blood stasis and use raw hawthorn. "Seeking Truth from Materia Medica" says: Hawthorn (mountain fruit) helps digestion, grinds meat, cuts stomach and spleen, and cooks old chicken hard meat. But throw several pieces of hawthorn meat. It is perishable. This means that hawthorn is better at digesting meat. Modern pharmacological research shows that hawthorn has a strong effect of reducing blood fat and eliminating excess fat in the body. Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, carotene and various organic acids. Oral administration can increase the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach, and the protease and fatty acid contained in it can promote the decomposition and digestion of meat. And it has a certain regulatory effect on gastrointestinal function. Different processing methods also have certain effects on the efficacy of hawthorn. Stir-fried hawthorn can reduce its sour taste and alleviate the stimulation to gastrointestinal tract. The fried hawthorn not only weakens its sour taste, but also has a slightly bitter taste, which is more suitable for digestion and diarrhea. When hawthorn is fried with charcoal, it tastes bitter and astringent, which means it can stop diarrhea and stop bleeding. Hawthorn can be taken alone, and it is often combined with medicated leaven, malt, radish seed, etc. by Chinese medicine, which helps digestion and digestion.

It is almost impossible to lose weight through a single food. First of all, the role of food in losing weight is very limited. Secondly, besides eating this food, you will consume a lot of other foods every day, such as a piece of fat, which exceeds the effect of so-called diet food with a small bite, so don't rely on a single food to lose weight.

Understand your eagerness to lose weight. Brother Pang has always advocated healthy weight loss. As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty, but it is necessary to lose weight. Obesity has the following factors:
One, a long-term heavy drinking, drinking will eat, all will get fat.
Second, unhealthy diet, like to eat high-fat, high-calorie food, such as meat, barbecue, fried food.
Third, lack of exercise, just eating without exercise or because the calories consumed are not as much as eating, the excess calories are converted into fat and stored, and naturally they are fat!
To sum up, we must have found the reason for being fat. We suggest to lose weight from the above aspects. Brother Fat has never advocated dieting, diet pills or any remedies to lose weight, which will bring harm to your health and outweigh the benefits.
The best way to lose weight is exercise and diet control. Fat brother once weighed 230 pounds, and successfully lost 78 pounds through one year's fitness and diet control. I hope everyone will work hard for their own health and be the best of themselves!
Weight loss lies in the formation of good habits. Obesity is not formed overnight, so whether hawthorn can play a role in weight loss depends on how to do it. First, increase exercise and burn excess fat. Second, adjust eating habits to ensure that you eat low-calorie things. Third, avoid working overtime and staying up late to prevent internal metabolism from being unstable. If you just eat hawthorn, you can't guarantee 100% effectiveness.
