Olive oil weight loss

Using olive oil for weight loss is very common in our lives, and most people have heard of this. Olive oil also belongs to the category of vegetable oils, but it is much better than ordinary vegetable oils because the components in olive oil contain the necessary nutritional composition for our bodies, thus having a health-preserving and nourishing effect. In Western regions, olive oil is被誉为the liquid gold, which shows how much the Westerners love olive oil.

Olive oil weight loss is actually not a new thing, because the lotus juice component in olive oil is not easy to form too much fat in the human body, leading to obesity. Therefore, olive oil is a relatively healthy food pursued by many people, and it also has health-preserving effects.

One, olive oil helps to reduce bad cholesterol

One of the fundamental causes of obesity is high blood lipid levels, and the main reasons for the high level of blood lipids are triglycerides and bad cholesterol. To reduce blood lipid levels, it is first necessary to reduce cholesterol, especially to lower low-density lipoprotein. Oleic acid has an outstanding function, when it enters the blood, it increases the content of good cholesterol - high-density lipoprotein and reduces the content of bad cholesterol - low-density lipoprotein, which can fundamentally change the structure of blood lipids. With the reduction of bad cholesterol, it naturally helps with weight loss. An increase in good cholesterol can also transfer the bad cholesterol in blood lipids and arterial blood vessel walls to the liver, where it is metabolized into bile, further reducing the pressure of bad cholesterol in blood lipids, which is particularly effective for weight loss.

Two, olive oil can prevent the formation of ATP

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a high-energy phosphate molecule that can store and release energy produced in the human body after food intake. The more of these high-energy molecules, the more energy they accumulate, and thus people become overweight. Scientists have found that after a long-term intake of olive oil, these high-energy molecules decrease, and the body also becomes thinner. What is the reason? It is because of the ω-3 fatty acids in olive oil. After ω-3 fatty acids enter the human body, they can block the synthesis of ATP and burn the calories taken into the body in the mitochondria, a process called 'oxidative phosphorylation' by scientists. It is because of this unique function of olive oil that it is not uncommon to see overweight people who eat olive oil for a long time.

Three, olive oil can enhance the sensitivity of cells to insulin

During the study of obese individuals, American scientists found that people with high insulin levels find it difficult to lose weight even with strict dietary restrictions. The mystery was finally uncovered, as it turns out that insulin has an inflammatory effect. If the level of insulin in the human body remains high for a long time, then under the inflammatory response, the excessive insulin response becomes very insensitive. The insulin receptor is located within the cell membrane and is usually used to guard the gates of the cell, controlling the entry and exit of substances. If the response of the receptor becomes insensitive, then it cannot open the gates of the cell, send glucose into the cell, and thus lead to elevated blood sugar and the occurrence of obesity. Olive oil has certain weight loss effects because the ω-3 fatty acids it contains have the ability to combat chronic inflammation, can prevent inflammation of insulin, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of insulin, ensuring that sugar and amino acids are fully absorbed into the cell, reducing fat accumulation, and achieving the goal of weight loss.

This is the introduction of some information about olive oil weight loss to everyone, hoping it will be of some help to those who are interested. There are many ways to lose weight, but we must choose the right method that does not harm our physical health. Everyone should pay attention, those with acute gastroenteritis should not eat too much olive oil.
