Strawberries promote weight loss! 16 capsules per day to supplement arbutin

Strawberry season is here, and no matter adults or children, it is hard to resist this delicious, sweet and sour fruit. In addition, what most people don’t know is that it also has the unexpected function of helping to lose weight! Nutritionists say that the arbutin in strawberries can stimulate brown fat to secrete leptin and promote metabolism. Eating 16 small strawberries a day can also quietly improve weight loss results.

Huang Shinan, a nutritionist at Miaoli Daqian General Hospital, said that strawberries are rich in nutrients. In addition to containing fructose, sucrose, citric acid, malic acid, salicylic acid, amino acids, and minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and calcium, they also contain a variety of vitamins, especially vitamin C. Every 100 grams of strawberries contains 60 mg of vitamin C, which has strong antioxidant capacity and can assist in weight loss. In addition, strawberries are rich in dietary fiber and pectin, which can help gastrointestinal digestion.

Supplementing with arbutin can help burn white fat more effectively

In particular, the rich arbutin contained in strawberries has also been found to help burn fat in recent years. According to a research team from the University of Iowa, arbutin can increase muscle and brown fat mass, and brown fat will secrete receptor hormones, promote metabolism, and prompt the body to burn white fat to achieve weight loss effects.

Nutritionist Huang Shinan further explained that human body fat is divided into white fat and brown fat. White fat is deep fat. Moderate accumulation can serve as the body's energy backup storage. When the body's energy cannot supply the body's functioning, it automatically decomposes to generate heat to maintain body activity. But if too much white fat accumulates, it will lead to obesity.

Brown fat secretes leptin, which promotes metabolism, suppresses appetite, and helps burn white fat. Moderately increasing brown fat can help improve weight loss results.

Nutritionist Huang Shih-nan said that although the arbutin in strawberries can help increase the amount of brown adipose tissue and thus aid in weight loss, excessive intake can also cause calorie and fat accumulation. He suggested that one of the 2 to 3 servings of fruit per day should be strawberries. Each serving is about 160 grams, equivalent to 16 small strawberries. You can eat it directly after washing, or pair it with pineapple, yogurt, fresh milk and other ingredients to change the flavor.
