How to lose visceral fat?

1. Intake more dietary fiber and limit the intake of added sugars

Research shows that people who consume more added sugars are more likely to have more visceral fat.

TIPS: Use fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and fish to replace added sugar foods.

2. Try intermittent fasting

Research shows that intermittent fasting can help reduce visceral fat. Increases adipocytokine levels and improves insulin sensitivity.

3. High-intensity interval training HIIT

Research shows that compared with conventional training methods, visceral fat levels decrease more after adding high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

TIPS: Alternate fast and slow running on a treadmill, or spinning, swimming, elliptical machine, mountain climbing machine, or rowing machine.

4. Bariatric surgery assists in control

For some visceral fats that are seriously excessive or even accompanied by some diseases, external intervention is needed. There are more than 200,000 bariatric surgeries performed worldwide every year. More than 1 million obese and diabetic patients in European and American countries have benefited from surgical procedures, and bariatric surgery has become the most commonly performed gastrointestinal surgery in the United States.

Bariatric surgery can be divided into 3 categories:

1) Restrictive surgery, such as: laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), sleeve gastrectomy Surgery (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, LSG);

(2) Malabsorption surgery, such as: laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, LBPDDS );

(3) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, LRYGB) which both limits gastric volume and causes malabsorption.

In recent years With the development of science and technology, a new type of bariatric surgery "gastric bypass stent system" has been developed and put into use. It is a new interventional weight loss technology that uses painless gastroscopy to perform surgery on the duodenum and upper jejunum. A cannula is inserted to isolate the chyme. After insertion, the chyme from the stomach passes through the lumen of the cannula, and the bile and pancreatic juice are isolated outside the cannula, so that the bile, pancreatic juice, and food are "shunted" to merge at the distal end, reducing the risk of It prevents the digestion and absorption of sugar and fat, thereby helping to lose weight. It does not change the patient's physiological anatomical structure and helps to lose weight easily. It is very suitable for patients who want to control their body weight but are afraid of weight loss metabolic surgery.
