In a new study about the best way to beat belly fat, Dr. Jenny Ashton here to talk about it.
現在有一項關于減少腹部脂肪的最佳途徑,我們有請珍妮·阿什頓博士談談這項新研究。
And Jenny, it turns out that is not just exercise but the kind of exercise that makes the difference.
珍妮,事實證明,不僅是鍛煉,而且這種鍛煉能夠起到顯著效果。
Exactly, and this is a very large study at Harvard that look at middle aged men followed them for 12 years, found that the men who lifted weights for more than 25 minutes every day gained the less fat around their midsection than the men who engaged in moderate.
確實如此,這是哈佛一項非常大型的項目,觀察中年男性并進行12年的跟蹤研究,最終結果表明相比從事溫和運動,每天男性舉重超過25分鐘上腹部會明顯減重。
That sounds a lot.
聽起來有很多東西。
It is a lot.
我們的確進行很多研究。
But again, a lot of people are trying to get a little bit of workout in everyday.
但很多人在日常生活中都只是一點點鍛煉。
They found that the men who engaged in hard cardio gained less overall body weight.
他們發現從事有氧運動的男性整體體重呈現下降趨勢。
But again, the waist circumference here was a surprise.
但是,這里的腰圍令人感到吃驚。
It's so interesting because you think you would lift weights, you think it can build up your arms and your legs.
這非常有趣,因為你想舉重的時候,可以增強你的手臂和雙腿。
But it really is about core.
但確實是關鍵所在。
Why not just do both, do a combination of both?
為什么不都做呢,二者結合不更好嗎?
Well, that would be the ideal.
嗯,那是理想狀態。
But remember here, in term of the physiology, we are looking at two things.
但是請牢記在心,在鍛煉中我們要關注兩件事。
As we age, everyone loses lean muscle mass.
隨著我們年齡的增長,每個人肌肉的質量都會下降。
That's a process called sarcopenia.
這個過程被稱為肌肉減少癥。
That's not great for our health.
這對我們的健康不是很好。
The other thing would happens as we age, we get a little wider around the midsection that belly fat or visceral fat which we've heard is also really bad for our health.
隨著我們年齡的增長另一件事也會如期而至,我們會越來越大腹便便,我們聽說過的這里的腹部脂肪或內臟脂肪也對我們的健康不利。
So to try to kill two birds in one stone here and find an exercise that does both, that's the key and the effect that the weights help to the waist circumference was really surprising.
所以在這里我們試試一舉兩得的方法,找到一種能夠解決兩種問題的鍛煉方法,關鍵有效的舉重幫助改善腰圍的確令人驚訝。
But what types of exercises are you thinking in?
但是你在考慮何種類型的運動?
Is this a thing for women?
女性能夠做這種運動嗎?
Look, it's great for men and women.
看,男性和女性都適宜。
And there are key facts here, you need to pump air, OK?
這里關鍵的事實是你需要有氧運動,對嗎?
So we actually need to get in to the gym lift weights and if you can do a little of that everyday, that's important.
所以我們實際上需要去健身房舉重,而且你要每天堅持,這很重要。
Cardio, you've got your cardio on, that's a very important for cardio vascular well-being as well as body fat.
有氧運動,你得做有氧運動,這對心血管健康以及身體脂肪非常重要。
And the other thing is good nutrition.
另一方面則是良好的營養攝取。
None of these matters if we don't eat well.
如果我們攝取營養不夠一切都無濟于事。
So that's kind of a no brainer, but the lifting weights to combat the midsection, get into the gym.
這再簡單不過,但舉重能夠重塑完美腹部身材,因此上健身房鍛煉吧。
