The weather is gradually getting hotter, entering the period of “San Fu Tian.” Drinking ice water, using air conditioning to cool down, all these methods can make it easier for cold air to invade the body. Many people try to avoid these harmful ways of cooling off. During the summer, watermelon is a great way to cool down and relieve heat, so many people enjoy eating watermelon to cool off. But do you know that eating watermelon can actually lead to “weight gain”?
During the summer, as the weather heats up, the body’s water evaporates rapidly, making it a tough season for a certain group of people. That group is the overweight population, sweating all over with just a little movement, and panting after just a few steps. So, this season is also a peak time for weight loss.
In the summer, many people like to eat away their body fat by skipping meals and eating fruits, with some even eating a lot of fruits a day, not just eating them directly but also juicing them. Any possible method you can think of is used to eat fruits. However, some fruits, instead of making you slimmer as you eat more, can lead to weight gain. Let’s see which fruits they are, and remember to avoid them next time you eat.
Fruits contain fructose, the source of sweetness in fruits. This small molecule of fructose can be metabolized directly in the liver, but it can also easily accumulate as visceral fat. The accumulation of such fat not only affects the organs significantly but also leads to a bulging belly as you eat more.
Everyone knows that Yang Guifei loved lychees, as ancient poets described her as eating 300 lychees a day. What they didn’t know is that lychee is a fruit with a particularly high sugar content, but it doesn’t taste very sweet; instead, it has a very refreshing sweetness.
Many people think that eating lychees has no impact on sugar intake. That’s wrong. The large amount of fructose in lychee, after conversion in the body, can easily lead to insufficient glucose supply in the body, affecting the blood sugar level and converting into fat, accumulating in the body and causing weight gain. So, for adults, it’s best not to eat more than 10 lychees a day.
Rice contains a high amount of carbohydrates, causing rapid sugar spikes and easy weight gain. Therefore, for watermelon, its glycemic index is also high. Not only should people with diabetes avoid it, but those wanting to lose weight should also refrain from eating watermelon.
As the saying goes, “One durian is equivalent to three chickens.” This nutritious and delicious fruit is a favorite for many people in summer. But did you know? Eating too much durian can also lead to weight gain. Being a tropical fruit, the sugar content in durian is quite high, determining its high calorie content. Eating too much can also lead to “weight gain.”
These fruits not only make you gain weight in terms of visceral fat. When the fat in your internal organs increases due to eating these fruits, it not only causes a bulging belly in summer but also poses unnecessary harm to your body. If the fat content in your organs is high, it’s not just a matter of gaining weight; it can also lead to organ damage.
Therefore, in summer, it’s necessary to lose weight, but trying to lose weight by eating seasonal fruits in summer is not appropriate. If you want to easily lose fat, you can try fruits like apples, bananas, etc., as they have low sugar content and won’t make you gain weight as you eat more.
