World Anti-obesity Day: Are you fat when you drink water? You need to know these truths about obesity.

May 11th is World Obesity Prevention Day. With the improvement of living standards, more and more people begin to pay attention to obesity and care about how to lose weight scientifically. In this issue of "One Minute Health Course", Zhou Zhiyi, director of the General Medicine Department of Chongqing People’s Hospital, explained the relevant knowledge to everyone.

Many netizens report that they eat very little, but they are still very fat, and teasing themselves to drink water will make them fat. Does this easy-to-fat constitution really exist? Zhou Zhiyi said that in addition to diet, there are four important factors that affect weight.

First of all, basal metabolism accounts for more than 70% of the total consumption in a day. When basal metabolism is relatively low, it is easy to get fat;

Second, when the body fat rate is high, low metabolism is also easy to gain weight;

Third, hormone levels will also affect weight, such as insufficient thyroid hormone levels, low metabolism, and easy to gain weight;

Fourth, when active exercise is insufficient, passive exercise is also reduced, and it is easy to get fat when consumption is less than intake.

So, how do you judge whether you need to lose weight? Zhou Zhiyi suggested that there are three indicators to judge obesity. First, the body mass index, divided by the square of height, is normal at 18.5 to 23.9, overweight at 24 to 27.9, and obese at more than 28; The second is waist circumference, which is greater than 90 for men and 85 for women, belonging to abdominal obesity; The third is the body fat rate. When the male body fat rate is more than 25% and the female body fat rate is more than 30%, it also belongs to obesity.

Finally, Zhou Zhiyi reminded everyone that to lose weight healthily, it is necessary to develop a healthy lifestyle, keep your mouth shut, spread your legs, and ensure a balanced diet when maintaining a healthy weight, so that you can achieve healthy weight loss without rebounding.
