Losing weight is too hard. Not only do you have to starve yourself, but you also have to exercise hard and sweat a lot. These are the two things that people who want to lose weight fear the most. So, after they automatically block out these two obstacles, some alternative weight loss methods that can bypass them have emerged. They all list scientific evidence and make their followers nod in approval. But do they really work?
Weight loss experts offer a scientific critique of five alternative weight loss methods. Are they scientific or misinformation? Read on to find out!
Hair-tying weight loss method
Does tying your hair up help burn fat?
This is a new method from Australia that uses hair tying to stimulate nerve reflex points on the head. These points connect to various parts of the body, and tying the hair can accelerate blood circulation and metabolism, thus promoting fat burning. For example, if you want to make your arms slimmer, find the corresponding point and tie a strand of hair about the thickness of a penny with a rubber band around it, symmetrically tying one on each side. Hold this position for 15 minutes, and consistent use will make your arms slimmer.
Experts argue that while fat-burning reflex points may not be present, combing your hair into a ponytail can effectively exercise your arms.
There is currently no conclusive research to prove that the nerve reflex points on our heads can help us burn fat. However, the act of combing hair, especially when making a high bun, can exercise the arms.
