Is plastic wrap safe for weight loss? What are the side effects of plastic wrap for weight loss?

Using plastic wrap to lose weight is a weight loss method we often hear about. Some celebrities have also used this method. In fact, this method is not very good. If you use this method to lose weight in the summer, you are prone to heatstroke.

Using plastic wrap to lose weight is unsafe. This weight loss method has no scientific basis. It does not reduce fat but water. Using plastic wrap to lose weight for a long time can easily lead to dehydration and have side effects on the body. This weight loss method is not advisable. If you want to lose weight, you should rely on exercise and healthy diet.

1. It can easily cause dehydration

After wrapping with plastic wrap, the local skin temperature will rise, which can promote local perspiration. However, if the wrapping time is too long or too tight, it can easily cause excessive local perspiration and lead to dehydration.

2. Affect local blood circulation

In order to achieve better weight loss results, people often think that the tighter the plastic wrap is, the better. However, if it is wrapped too tightly, it will directly affect the blood circulation in the blood vessels and affect the blood circulation of the body. If it is wrapped on the legs, it can easily cause varicose veins.

3. Induce some skin diseases

Because after wrapping with plastic wrap, the local skin cannot breathe normally, which will cause some toxins or dirt to clog the pores and cause some skin diseases such as folliculitis and eczema.

4. Prone to cause local skin allergies

Because plastic wrap is a chemical product, if the quality is not up to standard and it comes into direct contact with our skin, after the temperature rises, some chemical components will be released, which may cause strong irritation to the skin and cause skin allergies. Therefore, when choosing plastic wrap for weight loss, you must choose a product of high quality. Not all plastic wraps can be used for weight loss.

1. What plastic wrap helps you lose is not "fat".

In fact, the plastic wrap weight loss method only reduces the water in the body, and the proportion of fat and fat is very small. Once you drink enough water, you will return to your original shape! The "illusion" of weight loss will be shattered! Not only can you not lose weight fundamentally! It will also cause a series of skin allergy symptoms.

2. There is a risk of allergies.

When using plastic wrap to lose weight, the body will be wrapped in plastic wrap, and the cells will lose water excessively due to abnormal metabolism. The skin will be affected by the plastic wrap, which will affect the normal evaporation of sweat and easily produce side effects. In addition, the plastic wrap itself is a chemical product, so it is very easy to cause skin allergies and cause harm to the body.

3. Plastic wrap can easily cause skin diseases such as eczema and folliculitis.

When the body is wrapped in plastic wrap for a long time, the body cannot breathe normally, many metabolic products cannot be discharged from the body in time, and the skin cannot dissipate heat, causing sweat to accumulate locally. This situation can easily cause skin diseases such as eczema and folliculitis. Note: Many people find that they feel itchy every time they use plastic wrap. Do not scratch hard at this time.

4. The PVC/PE cling film commonly used on the market has many hazards.

Experts point out that the processing aids added to PVC cling film, such as antioxidants, anti-aging agents, and even some heavy metals, such as heat stabilizers such as lead, are generally not recommended for use in sanitary, medical, and food packaging, let alone frequent contact with the skin.

This weight loss remedy is not scientific and cannot fundamentally reduce weight. Wrapping the body with plastic wrap for a long time will prevent the skin from dissipating heat and cause sweat to accumulate locally, which can easily cause skin diseases such as eczema and folliculitis.
