You can lose weight by ... some chilli

Be grateful for the hot summer and don't forget to add some chilli to your meal. This is a golden opportunity for you to lose weight, according to Australian professor Andrew Brown.

In the article just published in The Conversation, Professor Andrew Brown, Dean of the Department of Science in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology, University of New South Wales (UNSW - Australia), points out 3 simple ways for you to can lose weight without suffering from appetite: eat chili, practice high intensity and enjoy summer.

These are factors that will help you get rid of your cravings and eat less without trying. According to him, the first scientific evidence of the link between temperature and appetite has been found by academics since World War II, in a study based on thousands of North American soldiers stationed all over. bridge.

Hot, spicy dishes will help you lose weight very effectively - (artwork from the Internet).

The garrison is different from the desert to the North Pole, the highest temperature is 33 degrees Celsius, the lowest is -34 degrees Celsius. If at 33 degrees Celsius, each soldier consumes 3.107 Kcal / day , at -34 degrees Celsius, they can consume up to 4,900 Kcal / day.

For every C increase, they eat less than 26 Kcal / day, equivalent to 5g of chocolate. This means in the Arctic, people will easily consume one third more chocolate every day to feel full!

A study conducted in Australia even showed that the effect of temperature on appetite could be even more pronounced: just 1 degree C warmth of room temperature, participants would eat less than 86 Kcal /day.

However, if you can hardly change the living environment to be warmer, Professor Brown points out two easy solutions: to eat chili, hot spicy dishes or to exercise with high intensity. These two things help increase your body temperature, thereby reducing your appetite.

The effects of peppers, peppers or other spices have the most miraculous effect. They contain capsaisin that makes you feel burning in your mouth and spread throughout your body. Neural receptors throughout the body detect heat, including TRPV1 receptors located in brain cells.

TRPV1 has a strong impact on regulating appetite and appetite. Hot, spicy foods make them hot and painful, making the food in front of you become less attractive and the appetite also decreases quickly.

These receptors are also affected by heat during exercise. So if you exercise hard enough for your body to warm up markedly, your diet may be reduced by up to 25%.

Professor Brown stressed that eating chili is an easier solution but will not help you lose weight fast. It takes several months to reduce 1kg of excess fat. However, if you practice this conditional habit regularly, it will be a sustainable way of losing weight.

A recent Chinese study shows that chili consumption is inversely proportional to the risk of overweight and obesity. People eat more than 50g chili per day are at risk of overweight, obesity is only about 25% compared to people who do not eat chili.
