As the saying goes, "Lose weight in summer and stay slim in winter, follow the seasons and lose weight easily!" Chinese medicine practitioners point out that in the hot summer, people sweat more, sleep less, have a decreased appetite, and their metabolism speeds up. Overall, they consume more energy than in other seasons, making it the most suitable season for weight loss.

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu pointed out that obesity is the root of all diseases. Human body fat is closely related to the spleen and stomach function. When the spleen and stomach function declines, water and moisture condense into phlegm, which will form fat. From the perspective of TCM syndrome differentiation, obesity can generally be divided into two categories: "deficient" and "excessive", commonly known as "false obesity" and "excessive obesity". Only by nourishing the liver and spleen can obesity be eliminated.

Yellow food nourishes the spleen

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen belongs to earth among the five elements, and yellow among the five colors. There is a so-called "yellow food method to nourish the spleen", which is based on the five elements. Yellow foods such as mushrooms, carrots, papayas, yams, sweet potatoes, soybeans, bananas, pumpkins, millet, oranges, etc. are mostly sweet and fragrant, and are very helpful in burning fat.

In addition, "Huangdi Neijing" also mentioned that "five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for assistance, five animals are for benefit, and five vegetables are for filling. Take them together with their flavors to replenish essence and benefit qi." It clearly points out that the five grains are the most health-promoting. They are the source of qi and blood. If you want to live a good, healthy and thin life, you must eat the five grains, eat more fruits and vegetables, and exercise.
