After crossing countless glaciers and trekking through dozens of kilometers of ice fields, we finally arrived at the real Greenland.
The hard rocks like ice cubes and the light gray soil under the thick layer of snow are so friendly that one cannot help but kneel down and kiss them.
The earth is the destination of mankind.
Bi Fang leaned against the stone, his brain slightly dizzy, which was a symptom of hypoglycemia.
"I haven't eaten in three days."
In front of the camera, Bi Fang said these words calmly, but was accompanied by burning pain in his stomach. Quite tired, he leaned on the stone, closed his eyes and rested, taking a simple rest.
After so many live broadcasts, this was the longest time he had not eaten. The large amount of gastric acid secretion could not be neutralized, making his stomach feel like a ball of fire, burning and stinging.
"How long can a person live without eating cannot give a specific answer. In 2006, a Japanese hiker Mitsutaka Uchikoshi fell down the mountain during a mountaineering trip. When he could not move, he only drank rainwater.
Survived 24 days.”
"In 2011, Peter Kellsberg, a man from Sweden, was hit by an avalanche while driving. He survived for 2 months by eating snow in his car that was completely covered by snow."
"David Blaine, the Ugly Magician, lived in a transparent glass box by the Thames River in 2003. He broadcast live 24 hours a day. He only drank water and didn't eat anything. He persisted for 44 days before he came out. After he came out, his weight dropped.
I lost 20 pounds, but other physical indicators are basically intact."
"This shows that if the human body does not eat and only drinks water, it can survive for a long time, but it will definitely be very weak."
[Stop talking, I already feel hungry]
[I was so scared that I quickly ate three bowls of rice]
[Three bowls? It won’t kill you]
[I tried to lose weight before. On the first day, I was very hungry, but I could bear it. On the second day, I started to lose control and my body felt cold easily. On the third day, I suddenly felt no longer hungry, but my body was obviously weak and I had no strength.
No, and it’s amazing that your body automatically wakes up early, so you don’t need to set the alarm clock at all, and it’s easy to fall asleep.】
[Haha, it’s easy to fall asleep. I’m so afraid I won’t be able to fall asleep.]
[Hypoglycemia is very dangerous and can easily pass if you don’t replenish it in time]
"It's not good to lose weight by not eating." Bi Fang opened his eyes and glanced at the barrage to remind him, "Not eating, or eating less, will cause the body to automatically enter a low metabolism state, which is to say 'you can live with just about anything'
status."
"In 1944, Ansel Keys at the University of Minnesota conducted a starvation experiment. This was a very anti-human experiment, and the process was relatively complicated. I won't go into details, but there was a controlled experiment in it, which can be understood as
Doesn’t it sound like a normal diet to lose weight if you eat normally first, then starve, and then eat normally?”
Many viewers nodded subconsciously.
After all, you can't go on a diet forever, and your diet will always return to normal later on.
"Dizziness, hair loss, edema, fear of cold, light, sound, blurred vision, persistent tinnitus, slow reaction..."
A series of words suddenly appeared in Bi Fang's mouth, and finally he said: "These are all the sequelae of the experiment. No one who participated in the experiment is exempt."
【???】
【What the hell, is it so serious?】
"The experiment is extreme. Of course our daily weight loss will not be so serious, but we also need to be vigilant. The calorie formula we have always been familiar with is actually wrong. Many people think that reducing calorie intake means losing weight. This is wrong because intake and
Consumption can never be equated."
"Everyone has a balance system in their body. If we eat less, the body will enter a low-energy consumption mode and reduce consumption, which means lowering body temperature, strength, and the ability of the brain to regulate. You will be weak, irritable, and depressed."
"It is easy to reduce consumption, but difficult to increase it. Once you adapt to the low consumption mode, you will not be able to increase your metabolism back even if you eat the same amount of food as before, unless you do a lot of exercise in a short period of time."
"So when you eat normally again, you will consume the same amount of energy as before the diet, but your consumption will not increase. Instead, your body will store more energy, which is fat. This is the rebound that many people will encounter."
[Fuck, I suddenly realized it]
[No wonder every time my sister loses weight, she gains it back within a month, and gets even fatter, over and over again]
【Show my girlfriend (dog head)】
"To lose weight, you still need to exercise more. While improving metabolism, it is enough to maintain a normal amount of food. There is no need to specifically change your food structure, and it is best to chew slowly and slowly."
"Many times, the reactions of the stomach and the brain are inconsistent. The stomach is full, but the brain does not realize that it is full and keeps sending hunger signals."
[Really, before the brain can react]
After taking a rest, Bifang stood up again and stepped on the ground. A sense of fulfillment turned into a trace of heroism and filled his whole body.
"This is the real largest island in the world. It connects the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It faces North America across the strait to the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the south, and Iceland in Europe to the east through the Denmark Strait."
"On the cold Greenland, snowflakes are flying all year round. Even in midsummer, the weak sunlight cannot melt the snow on the ground. What's more, during the long polar winter nights, the sun always hides under the horizon and refuses to show its face, making the climate even colder.
, the snow is getting thicker and thicker.”
"For hundreds of years, Greenland's cold has not changed significantly. The mountains of ice and snow could not withstand the strong pressure, and gradually turned into light blue transparent ice, covering the entire land of Greenland, with a thickness of more than 1,500 meters, and the thickest
More than 3,000 meters.”
Bi Fang pointed at the mountains not far away, which were covered with thick white snow. He didn't know whether they were rocky mountains or glaciers. In terms of appearance, there was no difference between the two.
These huge glaciers will slide down the sloping mountains to the vast ocean. Through the combined effects of ocean currents, tides, waves, and sunlight, they will gradually break apart, make loud noises, and break into huge clumps that will drift with the current.
Along the way, the sun, wind, rain, and waves have eroded them into various shapes, like glorious pyramids, mountains, and bridges. They are all strange and spectacular.
Some of these icebergs are thousands of meters long and even hundreds of meters high. They are no different than floating islands.
However, this is only the height that people can see. Under the water, it still hides seven or eight tenths of its body. It is conceivable that it is huge.
"Arctic icebergs will separate from the glacier and drift independently. They can last for two years and swim 3,000 kilometers in the ocean."
"When it reached the warm sea, it finally couldn't survive and melted, disappearing without a trace."
"But in the Baffin Bay area, when the icebergs are exposed, they often bring endless disasters to the ships of polar explorers."
"But that has nothing to do with us."
Bi Fangzhuang's tone suddenly became relaxed.
"I'm so hungry right now, I just want to eat some food, anything is dirt."
