[On-site] The reporter visited the enzyme bath store
(Can it lose weight?) Yes, acne or something.
(What about weight loss?) It's okay to get rid of moisture from the body.
In seven to fifteen days, you can lose a few catties.
[Explanation] Recently, a health-preserving program called "enzyme bath" is emerging. Businesses advertise that enzyme bath has the effects of weight loss, dampness removal, detoxification, and whitening.
[Explanation] Enzyme bath requires customers to replace thin disposable bathrobes, and then "bury" the entire body below the head in a large pot of soil, so it is also called "buried alive" by netizens.
These soils are called "nutrient powder", which can generate heat and the temperature can reach above 60 degrees Celsius.

Nutrient powder is made of grain, and there are some Chinese medicines in it. Adding this nutrient powder will cause fermentation, and fermentation will have temperature.
[Explanation] The magical propaganda effect has attracted many customers.
So, will the so-called "nutrition powder" be changed for each customer?

(How many people can there be every day?) There are five, six, six, seven, seven or eight.
(How often do you change this "soil"?) Someone has to come (change) every day, professional people.
(It's equivalent to changing it once a day?) Yes, sometimes it happens every other day, at most every other day. It can be changed all the time (not good). It also has an effect and cannot be changed over and over again.
[Explanation] What exactly is "enzyme"?
Does it really have such a magical effect?
This reporter interviewed nutrition experts.

In fact, the word enzyme was originally equivalent to the Japanese meaning of enzyme, which is equivalent to being active, and then it plays a catalytic role, something like this.
Because our skin itself has a barrier function, you can't say that you can rely on this mechanism to absorb nutrients through the skin.
I think it must be useless if it is dry (buried), and this thing can't be absorbed.
[Explanation] Even if you can't absorb nutrients, can enzymes act on the body, burn calories, and lose weight?
[Concurrent] Gu Zhongyi, Director of Beijing Nutritionist Association
It will secretly change the concept.
The mechanism of these enzymes in the human body, such as enzymes like proteases or some lipases, is indeed in the human body, in the stomach or in the intestines, and it can break down these foods.
But in fact, first of all, your external use of this thing is not equivalent to the mechanism in the human body. Second, even if you break it down, the human body still has a strong absorption capacity.
So even if you take some really effective active enzymes orally, it will not help you lose weight.
[Explanation] Even if there is no magical effect, can "enzyme bath" at least be able to relax the body and mind through heat?
The doctor reminded us to be careful of the possible damage to the skin caused by high temperature.

It is used all over the body, and then it has some private parts, for example, the thickness of the skin in each place is different, and some places may be touched, will it burn?
For example, the armpits and groin may be easily burned in these places.
[Explanation] There is no shortcut to health, you need to be cautious!
In fact, if you want to lose weight and become beautiful, the best way is to eat a reasonable diet, work regularly, and exercise more.
