Article’s title: « Régime : l’effet yo-yo accentue le risque cardiaque »
The article states that several studies have shown that yo-yo dieting, or weight cycling, can have negative effects on cardiovascular health. According to a study published in the journal Circulation, each yo-yo dieting episode would increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by 8%. This risk would be due to the inflammation caused by these cycles of weight loss and regain. Furthermore, yo-yo dieting could also lead to an increase in abdominal fat and insulin resistance, both of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The article advises to adopt a healthy and sustainable lifestyle rather than resorting to restrictive and short-term diets.
Answer: Yes, several studies suggest that yo-yo dieting, or weight cycling, can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
