14 ways to burn more fat
The path to thinness does not start with a membership in a fitness club, but with small habits that are good for your body.
Here we present simple changes and habits that will help you lose extra weight easily, namely:
1- Chewing gum
In addition to giving you fresh breath and keeping your mouth healthy, chewing gum helps burn 11 calories every 12 minutes, according to a report in the Russian edition of "marieclaire" magazine.
2- Repair minor faults in your car
Learning how to fix some malfunctions in your car is not only useful in saving the mechanic's expenses;
It helps keep you fit too. Spending 30 minutes fixing a car burns 102 calories.
3- Preparing dinner and setting the table
In 45 minutes while preparing dinner, you can burn approximately 102 calories.
4- laughter
Laughter not only extends life, but also helps in losing weight.
It has been found that watching movies and comedy plays is enough to burn one and a half calories for every minute of laughter.
5- Walking during phone calls
If you think it is a bad habit, you are wrong.
Although walking while making phone calls may disturb those around you, it helps to burn 100 calories every 25 minutes, which is very good especially for talkative people.
6- Morning walk
Before having breakfast in the morning, it is recommended to take a walk such as going out in the yard, buying milk, or walking around your garden.
This simple exercise will give you a boost to start your day.
Walking for 20 minutes burns 100 calories.
7- Using the stairs instead of the elevator
The elevator is useful for saving time when moving from one floor to another, but it is not good for fitness.
In contrast, climbing stairs helps burn between 7 and 10 calories.
8- Eat spicy food
It is known that eating spicy food leaves a burning feeling in the mouth and possibly tears in the eyes, but it speeds up the metabolism and stimulates the burning of calories in the body.
9- Ride a bike
A 15-minute bike ride burns 105 calories.
Just imagine what you would look like if you kept cycling on the weekends.
10- Fishing
Fishing burns 100 calories every 25 minutes.
11- Meditation
Who said you have to move just to burn calories?
Relaxing, breathing deeply, and replenishing oxygen give your body the energy to burn calories better.
12- Gardening
Cleaning the garden of fallen leaves, picking apples and picking flowers is not only good for gardening, but it will also make you burn at least 113 calories in 25 minutes.
13- Drink vegetable juices
According to German nutritionist Henri Seibelifs, vegetable juices are better than fruit juices for weight loss;
This is due to the high calories in fruit juices due to the high sugar content in them, such as apple juice, orange juice and grape juice, according to statements to the German News Agency.
Sibelives recommended drinking celery juice;
Because it is low in calories and helps you feel full for a long time, it stimulates digestion and helps you lose weight.
The German nutrition expert added that ginger juice helps burn fat, as does red beet juice.
14- Focus on Inulin
According to German nutritionist Zabena Holsmann, the substance "Inulin" - which is part of dietary fiber - helps stimulate digestion, lose weight and enjoy fitness.
Hulsman explained that "inulin" works to promote gut bacteria, stimulate digestion and treat constipation, and it also helps to prolong the feeling of satiety and maintain a stable blood sugar level, in addition to being low in calories.
Food sources rich in inulin are artichokes, asparagus, onions, garlic, leeks and parsnips.
Fasting may help treat liver cancer
Fasting has benefits for the body, and it helps - when it is under the supervision of a doctor - to reduce weight.
But a new study has added a new benefit to it, which is to help treat liver cancer.
The new study was conducted by scientists at the Medical University of Graz in Austria, and found that fasting - with drug treatment - may delay tumor growth for a type of drug-resistant cancer in the liver.
The study was conducted on mice, and was specific to liver cancer, but the authors believe that it has effects on other types.
The study was published in the journal Science Advances.
In this study, the researchers looked at the effects of fasting on tumor growth in two ways: in mouse models and in organoids, which are laboratory tissues that can mimic the characteristics of a cancerous tumor, according to a report in Inverse.
The researchers tested how combining fasting with the cancer drug sorafenib altered the course of the disease in both models.
The drug works by blocking the cancer cell's ability to reproduce, although it can become less effective as cancer cells develop resistance to it over time.
This research indicates that resistance to these drugs can be delayed by fasting, Andreas Proksch, one of the study's authors, told Inverse.
He said the drug and fasting together have a synergistic effect that slows tumor growth.
However, Prochsch pointed out that there are many caveats to this study, and what it means for the role of fasting in the treatment of cancer.
For example, the results may not apply to all types of cancer.
"If you look at it in another type of cancer, maybe fasting doesn't make much of a contribution," he added.
It is important to note that this research still has a long way to go before it can be used regularly in cancer treatments for humans, even for this specific type of liver cancer.
Next, Prochsch will need to complete clinical trials in humans, which could take several years.
After that, if the results are still promising, fasting could potentially be used in humans.
This means that fasting probably won't be a part of cancer treatments anytime soon, but it shows that we still have a lot to discover about how our bodies, including our cells, function in the absence of food.
