Can Weight Loss Slippers Really Reduce Weight?

< p > a popular remote medical care method called "reflexology" is popular. It is believed that the plantar and palm can be divided into many different regions, corresponding to each part of the viscera of the body. As long as stimulation of these areas can make the corresponding parts of the body produce curative effect, even from these areas, we can see where the disease is.

This theory has given birth to weight loss slippers, massage steering wheel sets and other products, especially the so-called weight loss slippers that can be "beautiful legs".

However, the medical community has not yet found the basis of these long-distance contact anatomy. The so-called "reflex pathway" may not exist. Massage on the sole of the foot has not proved that it can affect any human disease process.

Medical experts have warned that wearing a pair of slimming slippers with a convex and short cut can not only reduce weight and lose weight, but can cause soft tissue damage to the feet of the fat people, and may even cause injuries due to unstable walking.

"P > reflexology, also known as regional therapy and reflexology massage therapy, is based on the various parts of the hand and foot, which represent different parts of the body, such as heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and other viscera. Massage and massage on all regions of the hands and feet can stimulate energy, blood, nutrition or nerve impulse to flow to the corresponding parts of the body, thereby generating therapeutic effects, including relieving mental stress, expulsion of toxins, promoting blood circulation, reducing weight, delaying senility, and promoting visceral health.

Most of the practitioners in the treatment of reflexology are masseuses. This method can treat dozens of diseases such as deafness, alopecia, anemia, hemorrhoids, emphysema, heart disease, bronchitis, and convulsion in children.

< p > some reflexology massage therapists claim that by looking at the color of the hands and feet, we can diagnose the abnormalities of the corresponding parts of the body, and also depict the specific hand foot reflexes.

Similarly, there are "iris" and "sticking ear points", which correspond to the viscera of the body in the area of the iris and auricle. The so-called "iris analysis" is to diagnose the diseases of other parts of the body by looking at the spot texture of the iris, and "sticking ear points" is to treat the diseases of other parts of the body with magnetic beads, pills and other pressing auricles.

< p > Dr. Stephen Barrett, co-founder of the national anti fraud Committee, believes that the above "reflection" has no scientific basis. The so-called "reflex path" is only a hypothetical idea and has not been confirmed by human anatomy. It can safely be said that it does not exist at all.

Some massage therapists say that diseases are caused by mental stress. Reflexive massage can relieve pressure and assist treatment, but Barrett thinks it is "vague empty talk".

Dr. William Jarvis, Professor of preventive medicine at the University of Loma Linda, USA, found that reflexology massage therapists were at a guess level of accuracy in diagnosing 43 parts of the body according to the condition of the hands and feet. P

Other studies have shown that reflexology of plantar massage has no effect on abdominal pain after gynecologic abdominal surgery. 10 weeks of reflexology therapy does not improve lung function in patients with bronchial asthma, while other "efficacy" is only a placebo effect, which is usually referred to as "psychological effect" and has no actual effect.

< p > when obese people hear that they do not need to exercise hard and do not need to suffer a heavy diet, they need to wear a magic slipper to lose weight. Can they not lose heart? There are many protrusions in the bottom of this slipper. Some products also have strong magnets in the arch contact, and some products are especially short in shoes design. When they wear them, the heels are empty. Others see that they think they are wearing the wrong children's slippers.

A businessman claims that wearing a weight loss slipper every day for more than 15 minutes can help you lose a lot of fat. It is said that some people lose weight more than 6 kilograms in 21 days.

< p > weight loss slippers are designed according to the principle of reflexology, which specifically stimulate the plantar reflex areas such as the foot arch, which correspond to body parts related to weight control, including the thyroid gland, stomach, large intestine and so on. It is said that by stimulating nerves, it can change metabolism, digest energy and personal eating habits, and help you burn more calories without knowing it, so as to achieve the effect of losing weight.

The "pseudo medical observation" website pointed out that this slipper has not been proven to have weight loss effect by contrast study. Instead, it will cause discomfort or even pain to the arch. At the same time, no effect has been found on the human body function.

Similar to P, there are also massage steering wheel sets, with some bumps on the surface of the products, and some of them are also inlaid with magnets. Their advertisements claim to be able to stimulate hand acupuncture points while driving, relieve muscle tension and eliminate driving fatigue, and indicate different areas of the hands corresponding to different locations such as ears, lungs and shoulders.

Barrett said that this steering wheel sleeve is also based on the principle of reflexology, but businesses can not explain how the prominence of the steering wheel can affect the parts of other parts of the body, and how to control them "feel better".

< p > Liu Gang, director of Rehabilitation Medicine Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, believes that it is impossible to lose weight and lose weight by wearing slimming slippers. The decisive factor of losing weight is that the calorie intake is less than the expenditure. The key is to "control the mouth and open the legs".

The sole design of weight loss slippers makes the body's center of gravity unstable, and walks cautiously, making the core muscle group shrink. It is also a kind of exercise. However, wearing a walk and climbing stairs can cause instability of center of gravity and risk of sudden fall.

< p > weight loss slippers with the weight of the body to stimulate the plantar massage repeatedly, Liu Gang reminded that wearing too long may lead to joint sprain or plantar soft tissue strain, including toe fascia and tendon fatigue damage, not suitable for heavier weight.

In addition, slimming slippers are not suitable for patients with osteoporosis and long bone spines, which can aggravate bone hyperplasia and make people more pain. The uneven interior bottom is hard to clean, so that patients with fungal infection on feet are repeatedly infected and difficult to recover.
