【The Highlights of this article】A study from Oxford University shows that even if weight is recovered, eaters who strive to maintain target weight still have healthier body quality than before weight loss. The study found that people who have had successful weight loss programs have achieved continuous health improvement benefits for at least 5 years after weight loss, including reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and improving blood pressure and calcium sterol values. But the study still needs more information to prove whether this potential benefit persists. --by ChatGPTFat loss success is exciting, but the worry of fattening makes many people worried and afraid, but new research by Oxford scientists finds that diners who work to keep their target weight are still healthier than before they lose weight, even if they recover some weight.
{9 Research in the journal Outcomes showed that people who lose weight but recover part of their weight can achieve continuous health improvement benefits for at least five years after initial weight reduction, such as reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as improving blood pressure and calculator values.Oxford University professor Susan A. Jebb, one of the authors of the study and said that since many doctors and patients realize that weight loss often comes with weight recovery, they worry that this makes fat loss unintentional and a barrier to supporting people’s weight loss. However, for people with overweight or obesity problems, weight loss is indeed an effective way to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The researchers analyzed data from 124 studies published earlier, with a total of more than 50,000 participants, with an average age of 51 years and a BMI index of 33 (recognized as obese). In these studies, people used what they called "behavior weight loss plan." These plans focus on lifestyle and behavioral changes, such as eating healthy foods and increasing physical activities.
The study found that during this period, people lost 2 to 5 kg on average, while recovering from 0.12 to 0.32 kg per year. Participants who lose weight by strengthening weight loss plan have lower risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than those with lower strength and those without weight loss plan. Other specific benefits include:
. The contraction pressure decreased by 1.5 mmHg one year after the strengthening weight reduction plan and 0.4 mmHg over five years.. The percentage of glycated hemoglobin (protein used in red blood cells to test diabetes) decreased by 0.26 in the year and five years after taking the strengthening weight loss program.
. The ratio of total sterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) sterol (good sterol) decreased by 1.5 percentage points after one year and five years of participation in the strengthening weight loss program.
In addition, researchers also found that even people who have slightly recovered from weight loss and have a slightly lower risk of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, few research has been following people for more than five years and need more information to confirm whether this potential benefit continues.
Jebb said the study results show that fat loss plans can effectively control cardiovascular risk factors and are likely to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease.
What should I do after the body weight is reversed?According to the information of the American Career Association, additional weight means a higher risk of suffering from heart disease, medium wind, high blood pressure, high sterol and diabetes. Therefore, weight loss is a way to improve health outcomes.
However, fat loss is not an overnight achievement. Nutritionist Kristin Kirkpatrick gave the following suggestions for fat loss problem:
1. Accepting setbacks can happenThe key difference between people who successfully achieve fat loss goals and those who are unsuccessful, is that successful people realize fat loss at any time, understand why and how it happens, and return to their goal path.
2. Rethink your weight loss methodIt is common to lose weight and get fat, and it is usually a good idea to start with the weight loss method. Kirkpatrick, for example, extreme measures to significantly reduce calories may be effective in the short term, but often fail over time.
3. Add more physical activitiesIn terms of maintaining weight loss, sports are essential. Walking 30 minutes a day may help to lose weight, while resistance training can help to maintain weight loss results.
4. Reduce drinksAlcohol may be a hidden source of fattening. Kirkpatrick noted that she has been seeing this in patients over 45 years of age. For example, her patient quit drinking, lose weight, and then starts drinking a few more glasses at dinner, and his weight often begins to increase again.
5. Identify that you are human.Once you start to lose weight, you may fluctuate up and down in the weeks and years after losing weight. Not every meal can be the perfect option, because you are human, trying to find perfection in your diet is usually not a reasonable goal.
