KO menopausal obesity: eating potatoes with the skin helps burn fat

Get rid of menopausal obesity, eating potatoes with the skin is a good helper to burn fat! A Japanese medical doctor said that menopausal women tend to gain weight easily because of the decrease in estrogen and difficulty in metabolizing fat, and they tend to gain weight in the abdomen, forming visceral fat obesity. If you want to get rid of the fat on your belly, you might as well eat potatoes with the skin instead of white rice. The chlorogenic acid in potatoes can inhibit the absorption of sugars, help burn fat, and help you regain your youthful figure.

Estrogen affects fat metabolism and menopausal women are prone to obesity

In his book "Diet to Prevent Fat and Sickness", Japanese medical doctor Jiyang Takaho stated that once women enter menopause, they are entering the fattest "super obesity period" of their lives. Their bodies will suddenly gain weight like a balloon, and all the fat is in the abdomen, turning them into a big fat apple.

Why do women in menopause suddenly gain weight? This is because female estrogen plays a very important role in "fat metabolism". When we are young, estrogen secretion is high and fat metabolism is fast; while during menopause, estrogen secretion decreases, making fat difficult to metabolize, so it is easy to gain weight.

Most menopausal women have visceral fat obesity

In addition, obesity in young age, both men and women, occurs in the waist, buttocks, thighs and other parts of the body. The subcutaneous fat cells in these parts accumulate a large amount of body fat (subcutaneous fat type obesity), making the lower body round. Moreover, the fat in these parts is difficult to remove. This type of obesity is called "pear-type obesity."

Because of the decrease in female hormones in menopausal women, the fat cells around the internal organs become larger, and the fat wraps the internal organs (visceral fat obesity). Most of the fat is in the abdomen. The fat in this area comes and goes quickly. This type of obesity is called "apple-shaped obesity."

Visceral fat and subcutaneous fat are both forms of body storage. Visceral fat is mainly used in daily life, just like a bank's current deposit, which is easy to store and easy to consume. Usually, as long as you pay attention to diet and exercise, you can control your weight. Subcutaneous fat is mainly used when you are hungry. It is like a time deposit in a bank and is more difficult to consume.

Potatoes are a good substitute for rice to help you lose weight

For obese women who are entering menopause and want to effectively control their weight, they might as well abandon the idea that rice must be the staple food. For some meals, potatoes can be used instead of white rice as the staple food. White rice, like toast, is a crystal of sugar, which will cause blood sugar to rise rapidly after a meal and is one of the killers of obesity, while potatoes can help burn body fat.

Eating potatoes with the skin inhibits sugar absorption and helps burn fat

Potatoes are rich in a special antioxidant nutrient - chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid is mostly found around the potato skin. It can help burn body fat, activate the brown fat accumulated from the neck to the chest, inhibit sugar absorption, and prevent diabetes. Research reports indicate that eating potatoes regularly can reduce the risk of diabetes.

In addition, potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, which can prevent and relieve constipation problems, help the body excrete cholesterol, promote the reproduction of good bacteria in the intestines, and adjust the intestinal environment. It has many benefits.
