5 great anti-edema tools: warm water oolong tea is on the list

The Japanese have a way of living longer. It is now the end of the year, and Christmas and year-end dinner parties are coming one after another. It is very common to drink and have fun all night long. The food at the parties tends to be "heavy", which can easily deform the body shape and even cause edema. Let’s see how the Japanese avoided this “obesity storm”. It turns out that they relied on 5 “magic tools”.

Many snacks that go with alcohol are very salty, and it is easy to exceed the sodium intake limit if you are not careful.

According to the Japanese website ModelPress, there are five secrets to maintaining a good figure during the year-end dinner, including drinking warm water, oolong tea and bananas, as well as eating seafood with side dishes to eliminate sodium and fight edema.

【5 great tools to prevent obesity】:

1. Don’t forget to drink warm water or oolong tea while drinking to improve metabolism

Drinking is essential to the year-end party, but excessive alcohol intake may lead to drunkenness, or even loss of composure, which will spoil the fun. How to avoid drunkenness? The magic weapon of the Japanese is to drink warm water or oolong tea while drinking alcohol. This can reduce the concentration of alcohol intake and effectively prevent drunkenness. In addition, warm water and oolong tea are more conducive to improving the body's metabolism and are less likely to make you drunk than some iced drinks such as cola and soda.

2. Eating seafood as a snack helps to excrete salt

Do you have to eat meat in big bites when eating with wine? Now the concept needs to be overturned. Many snacks that go with alcohol are very salty and the sodium content can easily exceed the limit if you are not careful. In addition, how to digest alcohol while eating is also a science. Crustaceans or shellfish not only have lower calories than meat, but also help break down alcohol. Seaweed as a side dish helps excrete salt and reduce salinity. In order to minimize the negative effects of dinner parties, to prevent swelling and to excrete sodium as quickly as possible, it is recommended to choose "seafood" as a side dish when dining.

Bananas are rich in potassium, which helps excrete sodium and can excrete salt along with water in the form of urine.

3. After meals, drink 3500ml of warm water to balance electrolytes

Although you may feel full after drinking a lot at a dinner party, it is also important to take care of yourself after drinking, and the most important thing is to replenish water. Because alcohol has a diuretic effect, it will disrupt the body's water balance, which is the culprit for swelling after drinking. Therefore, after the dinner, you should drink at least 500 ml of warm water to balance the electrolytes in the body.

4. Eating a banana during a meal helps to excrete salt

Salt is the main culprit that causes edema. Bananas are rich in potassium, which helps to excrete sodium. They can excrete salt along with water in the form of urine, making them a good helper in fighting edema. In addition, although the food is rich during a dinner party, the nutrition is likely to be unbalanced. Bananas contain various nutrients needed by the human body, including B vitamins, C, potassium, magnesium, carbohydrates, and protein. It is recommended to eat a banana at a dinner party to avoid nutritional imbalance.

5. Take a warm bath after waking up to promote metabolism

If you eat too much "heavy" salty food at a dinner party and do not replenish water, your body will often become swollen. It is recommended to take a warm shower after sobering up, which can help the body reduce swelling as soon as possible and eliminate excess elements in the body. Rinse your fingers and toes alternately in cold and hot water, which can also help promote body metabolism. However, be careful not to take a bath when you are drunk as this can easily lead to danger.

【】We remind you that excessive drinking is harmful to your health. Minors are not allowed to drink. Do not drink and drive, and do not drive after drinking.
