Rice mushroom in the fight against obesity
Rice mushroom contains a large amount of lipase, an enzyme that is found in the human body and promotes the breakdown of heavy fats that enter the body with food. Lipase is an enzyme secreted by the endocrine glands. The action of such factors as unhealthy diet, poor environmental conditions changes the work of the glands in the body and significantly reduces the amount of the enzyme produced, after which the fats stop breaking down and begin to accumulate under the skin, contributing to a set of extra pounds.
The constant consumption of rice mushroom infusion will contribute to the fact that the level of lipase in the body will begin to increase, splitting not only the fats that come with food, but also the previously accumulated ones.
