Gaining weight after the Chinese New Year? The culprits are not being able to control your mouth and not moving enough

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that during the Lunar New Year, families gather around the fire and often eat delicious meat, fish, and various desserts and snacks. If you cannot resist the temptation of these delicacies, not only will you easily suffer from annoying problems such as indigestion, bloating, and constipation, but also during the New Year holidays, you will have an irregular schedule, sit for long periods of time and lack activity, and the calories you eat will be greater than the calories you burn. These foods you eat will be more likely to be converted into fat, which will accumulate in large quantities and cause obesity.

However, Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei also emphasized that if you want to avoid gaining weight during the Chinese New Year, relying solely on fat-burning tea is not enough!
