The main harm of extreme weight loss for summer has been named

Experts warn that extreme weight loss before summer can be harmful to health.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Life.ru, general practitioner Nadezhda Chernyshova warned against attempts to lose weight rapidly ahead of the summer season, pointing to serious risks for the body.

According to the specialist, the human body is evolutionarily adapted to conditions of food scarcity. As foreign experts in the field of dietetics note, when calories are sharply reduced, the body perceives this as a threat and activates the so-called "survival mode."

As a result, metabolism slows down, and the body, contrary to expectations, begins not to burn fat but to store energy. At the same time, the hormonal system is disrupted, including thyroid function, which can negatively affect overall well-being.

Furthermore, as specialists emphasize, strict diets increase stress levels and the hormone cortisol, which only worsens the situation. The body also fails to receive important vitamins and micronutrients necessary for normal hormone regulation.

Chernyshova noted that thyroid function is extremely sensitive to the slightest changes: even minor fluctuations in hormone levels can significantly affect health.

In conclusion, the expert recommended abandoning extreme diets in favor of a more gradual and sustainable weight loss approach. According to specialists, adequate sleep, stress management, and a balanced diet play a key role.
