In order to lose weight and not regain the lost weight, it is necessary to eat healthy. Eating healthy not only helps you lose weight but also protects you from diseases. Speaking a lot with his statements about healthy life, Prof. Dr. Canan Karatay said that you can lose weight while you sleep. Karatay stated that the hormone called leptin hormano, which comes into play 4-5 hours after meals, burns fat. This hormone converts stored fat into blood sugar and provides the necessary energy.
DON’T EAT AFTER 8 PM TO LOSE WEIGHT
The hormone is secreted at the highest level between 02-05 in the morning. However, in order for this oscillation to occur, food should not be eaten after 8 pm. Saying that eating produces insulin and stores fat, Karatay said, “Leptin turns what you eat into energy. This hormone is secreted most between 2 and 4 o’clock.” In other words, if nothing is eaten after 8 pm, the hormone leptin appears at midnight and burns the fat in the hips and belly.
ATTENTION TO DIET BEVERAGES
Dietary products, which have increased rapidly in recent years and applied to every food item, threaten our health. prof. Karatay stated that diet drinks containing aspartame heat up when they enter the body, and then turn into a substance called methionine and methanol, which is used to make fake alcohol.
RISK OF DIABETES AND CANCER
Karatay noted that ‘aspartame’ in drinks called light carries the risk of diabetes and cancer. Emphasizing that fructose in corn syrup is the most dangerous sugar, Karatay said, “Sugar feeds cancer cells.”
VITAMIN D IS REQUIRED TO LOSE WEIGHT
Canan Karatay said that it is not possible to lose weight without vitamin D. Saying that vitamin D is the most natural and strongest antioxidant in the body, Karatay underlined that if this vitamin is not taken, weight cannot be lost. It is known that the most important source of vitamin D, which is found in dairy products, eggs, tuna fish, butter and oatmeal, is sunlight.
PACKAGED FOODS CAN MAKE INfertility
prof. Dr. Canan Karatay said that the reason for increasing infertility in both men and women is ‘packaged food’. Karatay said, “Excessive sugary and packaged foods sold in school canteens have proven to cause hormonal disorders and are the biggest factor in increasing infertility in both men and women. Our youth and children are our future. We have to raise them healthy. It is imperative that they stay away from sugary foods and packaged foods.”
