  Myth 1: Healthy weight management is simply weight loss

If the number on the scale does not change after a period of exercise, some people will become discouraged and feel that it is really difficult to lose weight.In fact, scientific healthy weight management is not simply about losing weight, but about improving body composition within the appropriate weight range.

The Healthy Weight Management Program focuses on the change in weight values while also focusing on the reasonable ratio of fat, muscle, bones and other components in the body, that is, reducing excess body fat while increasing muscle mass and mass.

  Myth 2: The role of exercise is limited to consuming energy

A large number of studies have confirmed that the reduction of energy expenditure caused by insufficient physical activity is an important reason for the increasing number of overweight and obese people in modern society. The energy expenditure of the human body is mainly composed of three parts: physical activity, basal metabolism and the thermogenic effect of food. Since basal metabolism and the thermogenic effect of food are not determined by the subjective will of the individual, increasing physical activity has become the most effective measure to increase the body's energy expenditure.

One of the most important means of increasing physical activity is exercise, which is a process in which multiple organs work together. The full mobilization of respiratory, circulatory, endocrine and other systems and the strengthening of the metabolism of sugar, fat, protein and other substances are the basic guarantee for continuous exercise. thereforeExercise enhances the metabolic function of all systems throughout the body.

Recent studies have found that skeletal muscle is not only an organ of locomotion, but also an endocrine tissue. During exercise, skeletal muscle can secrete a variety of muscle factors to regulate the functions of multiple tissues and organs such as the brain, heart, liver, and fat through the circulation of body fluids. thereforeIn healthy weight management, exercise can play a role in weight loss by increasing energy expenditure, and can also play a role in improving body composition and promoting health by regulating metabolism

  Myth 3: Exercise is enoughviolent, as long as you can sweat

Some people believe that exercise is effective as long as you sweat; It is also believed that the more intense the exercise, the more effective it is; Others believe that as long as you exercise long enough, you will definitely lose weight. But these are "what you think", not facts and truth.

  If we want to exercise precisely, we need an exercise prescription.Just like a doctor's prescription for a patient's medications, an exercise prescription is personalized to the type, intensity, frequency, duration, and dos and don'ts of exercise to achieve specific health goals.
