1, the first birth at the age of 35 years or older
As we all know, women over 35 years old are called senior women. If the first child is born after the age of 35, the body has passed its peak period and the physical condition has declined, so the fetus is prone to stunted development and premature labor during pregnancy.

Due to the body’s energy balance mechanism, when starting a diet to lose weight, the various hormones in the body that affect appetite and energy intake work in the hypothalamus so that the urge to gorge does not arise on its own.

Maintaining a regular routine and going to bed early can avoid nighttime hunger, so you can effectively avoid late-night snacking and prevent excess calories.

Therefore, we must pay attention to a reasonable and balanced diet intake, often eat some fresh fruits and vegetables to enhance the sense of satiety, reduce high-calorie intake, to reduce weight better.
3. Replace part of the staple food with coarse grains
Than the daily intake of refined carbohydrates, you can add some appropriate coarse grains and cereals, or a small amount of cereals and potatoes to replace some of the staple food, not only can satiety, but also to avoid excessive intake of high carbon food, resulting in fat.
Take potatoes as an example, potatoes this potato food satiety high, and fat-burning effect is better, you can also choose sweet potatoes, taro, etc., both to improve satiety and thus reduce caloric intake, but also to strengthen the metabolism and the excretion of toxins and waste, to help maintain a good figure.
4. Drink a lot of water
Drinking a lot of water in addition to help increase a certain sense of satiety, but also to strengthen their own gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote the body’s excretion of toxins, improve metabolism, reduce the burden on the human body, help to lose weight and slimming.
According to research: usually do not like to drink water will reduce the level of metabolic cycle in the body, the body may also send inaccurate signals so that the body produces false sense of hunger.

As a matter of fact, whether it is to prevent overeating or to control the behavior of those who have already overeaten, or even to solve a series of problems such as fat loss and slimming, it is never willpower but reason and knowledge that should be relied on.
