Abroad it has become the new fashion. Use the hair dryer with the hottest jet of air to be able to reduce belly fat through sweating . And, in addition, put on the stomach patches for muscle aches.

This and other oddities to reduce the belly without diet or physical activity are popular on the internet, thanks to blogs and youtube channels that explain tricks to lose weight without efforts.

Too bad that this practice of the hair dryer to reduce the belly can be very dangerous.

DISPOSE OF THE BELLY WITH THE HAIR DRYER: THE RISKS ON THE SKIN

According to Dr. Christopher Inglefield, in fact, heating the belly with a hot jet to reduce fat is not only not an effective treatment, but can inflame the skin and promote an infection, even risking burns.

But viral videos promoting the use of hairdryers to reduce belly fat have millions of views, and people are unaware of the health risks of this cute “weight loss trick”.

I repeat, if needed, that there is no trick to lose weight. 

There may be tricks to eat less, for example that of the volumetric diet or food substitutions to lose weight . But in essence, physical activity and a calorie deficit are essential for those who want to lose weight.
