Which healthy food sought after by dieters is actually IQ tax? One: Enzymes
"Eating enzymes can detoxify and lose weight." Nowadays, this statement has convinced many people. Enzymes are called IQ tax because they are often marketed to have many magical effects, such as promoting digestion, enhancing immunity and improving skin. However, there is not enough scientific evidence to support these claims.
Can enzymes lose weight?
Enzyme itself has no weight loss function, but it contains probiotics and microorganisms, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, detoxify, resist oxidation and delay aging, and enzyme can eliminate intestinal garbage. Therefore, many people will lose weight by excreting intestinal garbage after eating enzymes, but it is the shit in your stomach that falls, not your own fat. Let's just say you lost weight, not fat. If you take the enzyme for a long time, it may have an effect on your weight in the early stage. In the later stage, your body needs to be discharged, and your weight will not drop again. So using enzymes to lose weight can't achieve the goal.
Do enzymes have side effects?
Yes! ! Although enzymes have certain benefits to human body, they will have many adverse side effects if they are not suitable for enzymes.
1: The homemade fruit enzymes in the market contain a lot of sugar, and these enzymes are not suitable for all people. Especially for diabetic patients, if they ingest such enzymes, it will cause the blood sugar in the body to rise, which is not good for the human body.
2. Some people with sensitive constitutions will easily cause adverse side effects such as diarrhea and vomiting if they take too many enzymes, which will do great harm to people with sensitive constitutions.
3. During the fermentation process, there will be a large number of fermenting bacteria, and people with weak constitution may be affected by fermenting bacteria, which may easily lead to bad symptoms such as cold sweat and abdominal pain.
In short, enzymes are not suitable for everyone, and some people will have many adverse side effects after using enzymes.
Two: white kidney beans
Some merchants will grind white kidney beans into powder or extract some components, and publicize that they can help eliminate excess fat in the body or control blood sugar levels. However, these propaganda often lack scientific basis and may even have side effects in some cases. White kidney beans do not have the function of a big meal savior! It can't achieve the freedom of big meals, and it can't eat and drink!
So here comes the question
1: Kidney bean protein is a kind of protein, and its activity is basically affected by gastric acid in the stomach, so it can hardly inhibit a- amylase. Similar to probiotics, now we all promote probiotics with onychomycosis, that is, let probiotics wear armor and reach the intestine without losing their activity.
2. Even if the activity is not 100% affected by gastric acid, then this product will be late 1000-3000mg to play the role of an a- amylase inhibitor. Can the products you take achieve this effective amount?
3. In many white kidney bean products, only the amount of white kidney bean extract is told, but what is the amount of effective ingredients?
4. White kidney bean contains toxic protein. When it produces white kidney bean extract, it can't take into account the toxic protein of white kidney bean for better active ingredients, and the toxic protein needs high temperature to be inactivated, and of course it also deactivates the a- amylase inhibitor.
5. White kidney bean A amylase inhibitor only inhibits the absorption of starch, but has no effect on eating fried chicken, drinking milk tea and eating cakes.
Well, based on the above points, white kidney bean is an IQ tax, it is not a big meal savior, and it can't make everyone eat freely!
Three: Fruit and vegetable chips
When I saw the name "fruit and vegetable chips", I thought the calories must be low? In fact, the dry calories of these vegetables sold in the market are beyond imagination, and there are 357-530 calories per 100 gram of dried mushrooms. Moreover, compared with fresh vegetables, these crispy dried vegetables lose a lot of nutrients such as water and vitamins during processing, and with some extra seasonings such as salt and sugar, eating them will only make you gain weight, which is not conducive to losing weight at all. Proper IQ tax! I ate a bag and gained weight 1 kg! You dare to believe!
Fruit and vegetable chips are called IQ tax for the following reasons.
1. Expensive: Compared with fresh fruits and vegetables with the same weight, the price of fruit and vegetable chips is much more expensive. This is because the manufacturing process requires special equipment and technology, and the volume will shrink after processing, leading to an increase in cost.
2. Low nutritional value: Although there is "fruit and vegetable" in the name, in fact, most brands of fruit and vegetable chips have added a lot of seasonings such as oil, salt and sugar, which makes their nutritional value not as good as fresh fruits and vegetables.
3. Advertising misleading: Some brands claim that their products are rich in vitamins, fiber and other nutrients in advertisements, and cite some scientific data to support their claims. But in fact, these data may not be aimed at the product, or just interpreted from a certain angle.
4. It is easy for people to overeat: Because of its delicious taste and portability, many people frequently eat fruit and vegetable chips in their daily lives. However, if the intake is too high, it will easily lead to problems such as excessive energy and unbalanced nutrition.
Therefore, although fruit and vegetable chips have advantages in convenience and taste in some aspects, they are called "IQ tax" by many people because of their high price, low nutritional value and misleading advertising.
These three are all proper IQ taxes. If you really want to lose weight, the most important thing is to "shut up and take your legs"!
