Factors that affect weight variation
The weather it is one of the triggers of the rapid variation of our body. The vascular system and adipose tissue they help us to regulate the temperature of our body, around 34 or 35 degrees Celsius, through the retention of liquids.
For example, in summer, our body acts as do camels, so we noticed the need to drink more water and our urine is more concentrated because it tends to retain more fluids to control the internal temperature compared to the external.
Causes that cause our weight to vary
- The workday. Working hours and the pace of life are not adapted to the recovery needs of the body and, as a rule, live in constant stress. If we do not generate melatonin, the body will be under stress, and this produces cortisol hormones. Cortisone generates more imbalance and more inflammation and therefore more fluid is retained.
- Sleep eight hours. Sleep more than eight hours helps you lose weight, it is always better to relax with natural options since the medicines that help you fall asleep cause more fluid to accumulate.
- In women, we intervene the menstrual cycle, in the days before the rule, liquids are retained so that the body is better prepared for a possible pregnancy.
