Recently, the sirtuin gene, which is responsible for the regeneration of cells in the human body, that is, for beauty and youth, has attracted the close attention of medical scientists. And it turns out that the main condition for activating this gene is precisely an empty stomach. That is, the gene starts to work only when the carrier is hungry for a certain period of time.
Of course, adherents of the "classic" three meals a day will find the idea of eating once a day absurd. However, this Japanese method is based on a solid medical foundation. And the most attractive thing about it is the ability to eat whatever you want, without any special restrictions.
Nagumo Method
This power system originated in Japan and was named after its developer Yoshinori Nagumo, who claims that in this way, you can not only reduce weight, but also return youth and elasticity to your skin in 4 weeks, improving health, in the whole. How? Let's figure it out.
The Japanese physician Nagumo has published a book in which there are many rather odious statements and controversial statements. However, those who have tried the method on themselves say: it works! Followers of the Japanese one-time meal believe that the myth that "you need to eat three times a day" was born of the experience of constant malnutrition of the military generation. In a world where there is enough food, it is worth eating less often, and this is the key to health.
Purposes and means of one-time meals
The followers of Nagumo consider a thin waist and youthful skin to be the main goal of one-time meals.
The motto of the new diet is "itichi isseku", which means "one day, one meal." The traditional Japanese version is about a large bowl of light soup, a bowl of vegetables, and a bowl of rice. But the products can be varied at your own discretion.
Important:During the experiment of a one-time meal on animals in laboratory rats, the result was the shine of the coat, liveliness of behavior and rejuvenation of the state of organs.
Of course, with a Japanese menu of light soup, rice and vegetables once a day, the weight will start to decrease, and quickly. But will such a diet be beneficial? Controversial. A low-calorie diet certainly stimulates the metabolism, but then, as a rule, various side effects begin. Not to mention possible breakdowns. After all, we are not Japanese, who are traditionally unpretentious in food, including in its quantity.
