How to use plastic wrap to lose weight? Is plastic wrap effective for weight loss?

There are many ways to lose weight now, and there are also many strange ways. You have heard of using plastic wrap to lose weight, but how to use plastic wrap to lose weight? Is plastic wrap effective for losing weight? Let's take a look.

Wrapping the belly with plastic wrap to lose weight is mainly to use the low air permeability of plastic wrap to help increase the heat of local parts of the body sharply, thereby causing a lot of sweating, helping to consume excess body fat, and finally achieving the purpose of losing weight. The principle of plastic wrap weight loss is the same as that of diuretics, which mainly achieves the purpose of reducing weight by eliminating water from the body.

The principle of using plastic wrap to lose weight is to heat the local area, so that the fat under the skin can be quickly decomposed. Therefore, it can be said that using plastic wrap to lose weight is still effective, and this method is relatively safe and reliable. But don't do it often.

1. Cause dehydration

The plastic wrap weight loss method is mainly a weight loss method that increases local skin temperature and promotes sweating. Wrapping for a long time will lead to excessive sweat secretion, severe electrolyte loss and imbalance, which will cause dehydration and weakness of the limbs.

2. Affect local blood circulation

When wrapping the body with plastic wrap, it is usually wrapped tightly to prevent it from falling off, which will compress the blood vessels under the skin and affect blood circulation. Blood circulation will be faster during exercise, and if the legs are wrapped for a long time, it is easy to cause varicose veins.

3. You lose water, not fat

In fact, this method is mainly for reducing water rather than fat. Weight loss is mostly caused by dehydration, which is just an appearance. When the temperature rises, the water in local fat cells and other tissue cells temporarily permeates outward, but this does not increase fat consumption. After replenishing water, the weight will go back up! Therefore, it is not a scientific and effective way to lose weight.

4. Induce skin diseases such as eczema and folliculitis

After wrapping the plastic wrap, the skin cannot breathe normally, and the metabolites produced after physical exercise cannot be excreted from the body in time, clogging the pores, which can easily induce infection and cause skin diseases such as eczema and folliculitis. Sometimes our skin will itch after removing the plastic wrap, which is a sign of bacterial infection. At this time, do not scratch it with your hands, as scratching the skin will make it easier to get infected.

5. Poor quality plastic wrap can also cause allergies

Plastic wrap is a chemical product. After exercise, the pores will open and sweat will be released. If the quality of the plastic wrap is not up to standard, some allergenic chemical components that are decomposed when the temperature rises will enter the skin through the pores, causing redness, swelling and allergies.

6. Plastic wrap reduces enzyme activity

There are many enzymes involved in the process of fat "burning", and the optimal temperature for enzyme reaction in the human body is between 35℃ and 40℃. Once it exceeds 40℃, the enzyme activity will drop sharply or even decompose. Therefore, the local high temperature caused by wrapping the skin with plastic wrap may not necessarily promote fat consumption, but may even have the opposite effect.

How to do it:

(1) Before using plastic wrap to slim your legs, you should first massage the acupoints, including Sanyinjiao, Sanzuli and Futu. Massage each point for more than 10 seconds and repeat three times.

(2) Hold a handful of coarse salt in each hand, sit on a chair, wet your legs with water, apply the coarse salt evenly on your thighs, and then use your fists to push and rub your thighs for 5 minutes.

(3) When your legs become hot from being massaged, wrap them with plastic wrap. After 10 minutes, remove the plastic wrap and rinse with warm water.
