Create perfect curves? Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to take care of your spleen and stomach, promote metabolism, and increase muscle and reduce fat

Want to make your appearance look curvier? Simply losing weight is not enough, the key is to effectively "gain muscle and reduce fat" and regain your body's attractive lines! Chinese medicine practitioners say that if you want to have a more slender figure, in addition to being active and doing more strength training, making good use of Chinese medicine's diagnosis and treatment, and appropriately regulating the spleen and stomach functions and improving metabolism according to your personal constitution are also good ways to help add points.

The key to a good figure is "gaining muscle and reducing fat"? 1 kg of fat is 3 times larger than the same weight of muscle

Why is "gaining muscle and reducing fat" so important for maintaining a good figure? Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Jiandong explained that this is because if we look at it in terms of volume, if we put 1 kg of fat and 1 kg of muscle, both weighing the same, together, the volume of the fat will be three times that of the muscle.

Therefore, for those who have lost weight but maintained their body shape, compared with those who have maintained their weight but look firm and curvy, they may appear to be one size smaller visually. Take the statement that was widely circulated on the Internet many years ago: "Jeremy Lin and Lien Shengwen have the same height and only 1 kilogram difference in weight, but their body shapes are completely different." This example can specifically explain the benefits of gaining muscle and reducing fat on appearance and body shape. This is also why, if you want to lose weight successfully, instead of just worrying about the number of kilograms on your scale, it is better to actively exercise, increase muscle mass and reduce body fat percentage.

Effectively increase muscle and reduce fat? Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you to take care of your spleen and stomach and promote metabolism, with good results

But how to gain muscle and lose fat? Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Jiandong said that in addition to getting moving quickly and doing more strength training, making good use of Chinese medicine conditioning can also have a supplementary and multiplying effect.

Increase muscles: According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen controls the limbs and muscles. Therefore, if you want to increase the muscle mass in your body and make your muscles firmer, you should first start by regulating the digestion and absorption functions of the spleen and stomach. For example, you can add malt, barley tea, hawthorn and other medicinal herbs that can strengthen the spleen and appetite, digest food and eliminate accumulation into dishes in moderation, or have a bowl of Si Shen soup, which are all good dietary therapy methods.

Reduce fat: From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the causes of fat formation and accumulation are closely related to phlegm-dampness and blood stasis constitution. When the human body is in the above-mentioned physical state, it is often unable to effectively excrete the body's metabolic products. With long-term accumulation, it is easy for a large amount of fat to accumulate, causing abdominal obesity and lower limb edema. Therefore, if you do not want to accumulate more and more fat, it is very important to reduce the intake of sweets in your daily diet to avoid sweets causing phlegm and dampness; increase the amount of activity and promote blood circulation.

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Jiandong pointed out that as long as people can combine the above two principles, nourish the spleen and stomach, unblock the blood vessels, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and at the same time develop a balanced diet, consume a moderate amount of high-quality protein and less refined starch, and cooperate with regular exercise training, they will naturally be able to create a good body with good curves.
