Treat obesity symptomatically! Detailed explanation of the three major types of obesity. See which one you are.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, women’s bodies become less able to convert food into “energy” starting at the age of 35. The food they eat is directly converted into fat and cholesterol, causing obesity. At the same time, the body will turn "yin" and "weak". When the constitution is damp and cold, and unable to replenish "qi", even if you try hard to control your diet and exercise more, it is easy to be in vain.

Most people think that only men need to take care of their kidneys, but in fact, kidneys are more important to women! According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys contain "innate qi" (energy), which is lost more and more as we age. From a Western medicine perspective, the kidneys affect the secretion of female hormones, which reduces the ability to break down fat. Therefore, women over 35 are particularly prone to obesity.

3 major types of obesity, treat obesity accordingly

"I want to lose weight: take good care of your kidneys and you will definitely lose weight! 》, the three major types of obesity are explained in detail, and you can treat the "fat" symptomatically so that your weight loss efforts will not be in vain.

1. Eating too much and being too full = People with toxic constitution are prone to constipation, often eat too much, like fried food, are carnivores, and have excessive visceral fat.

Weight loss method: Leave one bite at each meal, and slightly increase the amount of activity by walking briskly, getting off the bus one stop earlier, etc.

2. Poor circulation in the body = blood stasis constitution. Poor blood circulation leads to poor metabolism, prone to shoulder and neck pain, cold hands and feet, and obvious dark circles under the eyes.

Weight loss method: keep your body warm, take more baths, consume plenty of high-quality protein, and relieve stress.

3. Prone to edema = water toxicity. Water in the body is not easy to be discharged, or it is dehydrated, prone to edema, indigestion, and thirst.

Weight loss method: Eat food that is easier to digest and start with simple exercises that will not cause lactic acid accumulation.

Without taking good care of the "kidneys, liver, and spleen", even if you change your diet and exercise regularly, the effect will be limited. We often hear that "metabolism" affects the body, but what exactly is metabolism? In fact, metabolism is the process of converting food into energy. Among the five internal organs of the human body in traditional Chinese medicine, the following three "organs" will directly affect the function of metabolism:

Kidney: When the female hormone in charge decreases, the fat decomposition function will decline.

Spleen: Responsible for digestion. When spleen function declines, the stomach and intestines will be affected.

Liver: Controls the autonomic nervous system. Autonomic nervous system disorder makes you want to eat even when you are not hungry.

When fat decomposition slows down and digestive function deteriorates, coupled with unnecessary appetite, it is difficult to stay healthy after the age of 35! Sleep, diet, and exercise are the three keys to losing weight. If you take "kidney care" as your goal, you can achieve your goal in one go! Maintaining the three parts of your body, namely, the kidney, liver, and spleen, is equivalent to improving the three major factors that lead to obesity at the same time: endocrine, gastrointestinal, and autonomic nervous systems. The diet, sleep and exercise suggestions designed specifically for "tonifying the kidney, nourishing the spleen and protecting the liver" can minimize the impact of aging and allow the body to adapt to the metabolic capacity of different ages. You don't have to force yourself to sweat during exercise or to starve yourself and avoid certain foods, so that middle-aged obesity can stay away from you!

Dietary advice

• "Salty" and "sticky" foods help nourish the kidneys: kelp sprouts, shrimp, shellfish, sea bream, yam, and nameko mushrooms.

• After exercise, consume more protein and carbohydrates: repair muscle fibers and replenish the protein broken down by glycogen during exercise.

Acupressure

• Gastrointestinal discomfort: Press the spleen points two fingers wide in the center of the back and on both sides of the spine to improve excessive stomach acid and stomach pain.

• Eliminate constipation: Press the Tianshu and Daju points around the navel to improve liver function and make bowel movements smooth and clean.

Sports Focus

• Firming exercises for the abdomen and lower body: open up the lymphatic circulation from the waist and abdomen to the thighs, and build muscle mass in the lower body.

• Relaxing full-body de-stress stretch: Increase lower body strength and stability, and improve blood circulation in the upper body.

With the exclusive slimming secrets of traditional Chinese medicine, you can lose weight no matter how old you are!

• The best season for weight loss is "spring", but this is also the season when gastrointestinal problems are prone to occur. In addition, massaging the "Spleen Shu" point located behind the stomach and in the center of the back can adjust gastrointestinal health.

• The sugar poisoning phenomenon caused by the habit of eating sweets can be controlled by eating "sour foods". (Grapefruit, Cranberry)

• By "setting short-term goals" and "using sleep-aiding fragrances at night", the sympathetic/parasympathetic nerves can be switched smoothly, effectively turning on the fat burning switch and actually increasing leptin.

• Regardless of your age, you must pay attention to protein intake and increase muscle to increase your basal metabolism.
