Sex consumes calories equal to 1 bowl of rice. Famous weight loss doctor: More "stimulation" helps burn fat

Can eating fried rice often help you lose weight? The internet has been going viral for almost a day: "Sex helps you lose weight. On average, one sex session consumes the same amount of calories as a bowl of rice." Famous weight loss doctors pointed out that sex is a kind of aerobic exercise. As long as it is not excessive, sex can give people a healthy life, which of course also includes "weight loss." However, excessive indulgence will have an impact on health, and moderation is the most important thing. In particular, attention should be paid to hygiene and safe sex to avoid infection.

Liu Boen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Prevention and Treatment Education Association and a weight loss specialist, said that the main purpose of having sex to lose weight is to burn body fat. Studies have found that usually one sex session can burn about 250 calories, which is equivalent to the calories consumed in a bowl of rice, and is also equivalent to the calories consumed by jogging for 30 minutes.

Sex weight loss aerobic fat burning exercise

However, sex is fun for weight loss. If it is combined with "stimulating" sexual behavior, when adrenaline is secreted vigorously, it can accelerate fat burning. Moreover, through this weight loss method, both men and women can achieve weight loss effects. It not only promotes blood circulation, which is good for the heart, but also enhances a harmonious relationship between the sexes.

In fact, sex weight loss is an aerobic fat-burning exercise that has a positive effect on both men and women. Studies have shown that if a person has sex three times a week, over a year, the calories burned are equivalent to running from Taipei to Miaoli at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, and the pleasure of sex is incomparable to jogging.

Studies have found that having an affair is not likely to make people gain weight, but you should be aware of the risk of having a stroke during sex.

Elderly people should beware of stroke risk

Dr. Liu Boen emphasized that losing weight through sex is not without risks, especially when your weight reaches the obesity standard. Most people have a heavy heart burden and hardened blood vessels, especially when they are a little older. During intense sexual intercourse, the heart rate may "soar" from more than 70 beats per minute to more than 150 beats, and blood pressure may also increase from 150 to 250 (systolic pressure), so be careful of the risk of "immediate stroke."

According to foreign data, having an affair is one of the behaviors that prevents people from gaining weight. From preparation beforehand to covering up afterwards, a lot of energy is consumed, especially for lovers who choose to have an affair in public places, because they have to face the danger of being seen by others at any time. Under the double stimulation, more adrenaline is secreted, and the instantaneous calorie consumption ranks first.

Masturbation has limited effects on weight loss and fat reduction

In addition, the outpatient clinic also received a rare case of "masturbation weight loss". The female patient, about 28 years old, came for consultation because she had seen on the Internet that sex can help lose weight, but she did not have a sexual partner, so she masturbated at home, an average of once every two days. The patient claimed that she achieved weight loss in this way. Dr. Liu Boen said that basically, masturbation is a way to relieve sexual pressure. Although it may be a safe sex behavior that can avoid the risks of having sex with inappropriate people due to urgent needs, including interpersonal relationships and infectious diseases, if you want to lose weight through sex or masturbation, you may be disappointed.

Doctors remind that obesity is a disease and should never be treated with unprofessional methods.

Sexual posture and length will affect fat burning effect

Dr. Liu Boen reminds us that sex involves large muscle exercise of the whole body, which means that your heart rate will speed up and you will sweat profusely (just like jogging or playing basketball). As long as you last long enough, you will use up body fat. However, masturbation will at most move small muscles and internal reproductive organs, and it is easy to cause guilt, so the weight loss effect is limited.

In addition, if women want to lose weight by "having sex", they must make a certain degree of effort, and they cannot just lie there like a dead fish. Generally speaking, the "woman on top, man on bottom" sex position is the basic principle for women to burn a lot of calories, or they can use different levels of difficulty, as well as foreplay, kissing and other actions to prolong the time as much as possible, which will burn more calories.

【Doctor's Tips】:

Obesity is a disease and should never be treated with unprofessional methods. Physical health cannot be tested casually and the cause must be addressed to achieve the desired results. Although there are all kinds of rumors on the Internet, their credibility and effectiveness actually need to be re-examined. I hope that the relevant authorities can also face the problem of online rumors and help the public establish correct concepts about weight loss.
