Let me tell you a good news, winter is actually the best season for metabolism! If you can find a few key points that suit your physical condition and implement them consistently, then it doesn't matter if you are lazy and don't exercise occasionally.

How do you usually maintain your body shape? If you do not distinguish right from wrong and do not choose a method that suits your constitution, then even if you persist, it will be a waste of time and effort with little effect. The most urgent thing is to figure out your own physique and sculpt your body using the method that suits you best!

Re-understanding: Winter is the best season for body sculpting

Do you often think: "There are a lot of parties at the end of the year and the beginning of the year that cannot be postponed, so it is inevitable that I will gain weight in the winter!" But in fact, compared with the summer, the body's metabolism is better in winter, and it is easier to lose weight.

Experts say, "In winter, the body's metabolism is 10% higher than in other seasons to resist the cold. Unfortunately, too many people think that eating can keep the body warmer, so they eat a lot; or because hibernation is an animal habit, they are too lazy to move when the weather gets cold. For these reasons, people gain weight in winter."

That’s right! If you can exercise properly, winter is indeed a season that can make people lose weight. Therefore, based on this exciting fact, we will look at the recent trend of focusing on physical health, and then combine it with Chinese medicine, which is once again gaining attention, and "changing your thinking" recommended by doctors to explore in depth how to easily sculpt your body this winter.

Japanese Chinese medicine practitioners said

"When using diet to manage weight, if you ignore your body type and just try all kinds of popular weight loss methods, the results will definitely not be good. For example, if a person with what Chinese medicine calls "edema" drinks two liters of water a day, the only result will be more swelling. Choosing the right medicine for your body constitution, which is what Chinese medicine calls "prescribing the right medicine for the right disease", will not only help you lose weight, but also improve the conditions in other parts of your body.

Give 4 Types 4 Ways a try! Winter weight loss method suitable for you

After knowing our body type, let us re-examine the food, exercise and lifestyle that suit our body constitution. Use these methods to fight winter obesity!

[Type A people - super love to eat, stubborn food addicts]

Characteristics: Basically, they are the type with good spirits and muscular bodies. Because I love eating, I know better than anyone what new restaurants have opened recently. Because of the tendency to eat too much, more energy enters the body than is used up, which is a type of obesity.

What to eat: Adjusting the "in" and "out" of energy is the best way to lose weight, so basically you have to remind yourself to "eat until you are 80% full" and "take time to chew slowly", and also avoid eating too much. As for the portion sizes of breakfast, lunch and dinner, the best ratio is 10:8:6. It will be easier to lose weight if you can control the portion size of dinner. Most of this type of people also like to eat "fried foods or desserts". Since these foods contain too much fat and carbohydrates, they should consciously consume more protein. It is recommended to eat more high-protein, low-fat foods such as tofu and chicken breast.

Daily life: You can use juice detoxification. This type of person can achieve results simply by reducing the amount of food they eat, so they can try juice cleansing. People who are prone to constipation are strictly prohibited from eating fat-free food. You can take high-quality oils such as olive oil. For dinner, you can eat grains such as brown rice which have a relatively low carbohydrate GI value (glycemic index).

Acupressure: Use appetite control and exercise to solve the problem. Most people of this type eat too much or have a strong appetite, so pressing the "stomach point" acupoints that regulate appetite can achieve the desired effect. Don’t forget to let some of your energy “go out” a little bit. For example, in your daily life, even in winter, you should take some time to move around, such as walking the distance of a MRT (bus) stop or climbing the stairs.

Stomach point: 7 to 8 mm away from the ear hole. Press the acupoints with your fingertips, as if you are lifting your ears up, and hold for 3 seconds before releasing.

[Type B people - cold hands and feet, fatigue, qi stagnation and blood stasis]

Characteristics: This is a cold constitution with often cold hands and feet. Women often have this problem. Since the "blood" of qi, blood and water cannot circulate to every corner of the body, nutrients cannot be delivered to the extremities, so the hands and feet feel cold. Such people look thin on the outside, but their complexion appears dull due to poor blood circulation.

What to eat: For this type of people, the first priority is to improve blood circulation. In order to transport heat energy to your hands and feet, what you should pay attention to is not how much you eat, but what you eat. It is recommended to choose foods that can promote blood circulation, such as leeks, onions, saffron, black fungus, vinegar, black beans, black rice, etc. In addition, winter seasonal vegetables have the effect of warming the body, so you might as well consume more winter vegetables such as broccoli, chrysanthemum, komatsuna, cabbage, white radish, etc. As for summer seasonal vegetables such as tomatoes or lettuce, since they will cool down the body temperature, it is recommended to eat them in hot soup or hot pot to reduce harm to the body.

What to do in daily life: Start by stretching and identifying if you are stressed. You can use simple stretching exercises to stretch your muscles and bones to promote blood circulation. If you stay in a warm space for a while but your body still cannot warm up, it may be because stress has caused poor blood circulation. It is recommended to relieve stress at this time. Also, avoid wearing underwear or clothing that is too tight.

Acupressure: Press the acupoints to promote blood circulation and take good care of yourself. Because of the coldness, energy cannot be burned and old waste is easily accumulated, resulting in weight gainer. Therefore, it is necessary to press the "Sanyinjiao" acupoint to promote blood circulation. In addition, you can't just take a shower when taking a bath, it's better to take a bath; and at work, you should often turn your neck and shoulders to promote blood circulation.

"Sanyinjiao" acupoint: Press the "Sanyinjiao" acupoint located on the inner side of the calf, four fingers above the protruding part of the ankle

[Type C people - the type with water toxicity who are wet, limp, and have too much water]

Characteristics: This type of person has poor circulation of qi, blood, and water (lymph, sweat and other body fluids) and poor drainage function. People who are prone to edema or have poor gastrointestinal function are likely to become this type. The characteristics are love of cold drinks and soft-looking skin.

What to eat: Due to excessive water intake, the stomach becomes very weak, the absorption capacity becomes worse, the circulation becomes worse and worse, and the water accumulates more and more, so special attention should be paid to the method of water intake. The first priority is to make the stomach and intestines healthier and excrete excess water from the body. Remember to drink warm drinks, and if you want cold drinks, try to remove the ice. Adjust the amount of water you drink each time, just enough to moisten your throat. Drink small amounts multiple times. In addition, for people with this physique, "eating only lettuce salad or smoothie at noon" will only have the opposite effect. It is recommended to consume foods that warm the body.

What to do normally: Warm the cold parts of your body. The places where water accumulates in the body will become cold, so when you hear water flowing in your stomach, you should wrap your stomach with a blanket; if your feet are swollen, use a blanket or wool socks to protect from the knees to the soles of your feet, and use these methods to warm the body from the outside. It is recommended to soak your feet in hot water in winter. It is best not to use juice cleanses to lose weight because these methods will cause you to consume too much water.

Acupressure: To promote gastrointestinal motility, stimulate the "Zhongyuan" acupoint. For people with severely swollen feet, it is recommended to use aromatherapy essential oils such as rosemary, lemon, and cypress for massage or foot soaking, because they can promote blood circulation and improve lymphatic qi stagnation and blood stasis.

"Zhongyuan" acupoint: "Zhongyuan" acupoint is located right between the heart and the navel. It is about four fingers above the navel.

[Type D people - the type of kidney deficiency whose metabolism deteriorates with age]

Characteristics: This is the so-called "middle-aged and elderly people become fat" state. After the age of 40, sometimes in addition to the symptoms of "kidney deficiency", other types of problems may also be present. People of this type tend to accumulate fat in their bodies and gain weight in the lower body. The difference from the "water toxic type" is that they will feel cold all over.

What to eat: According to traditional Chinese medicine, the function of the kidneys, which are known as the source of vitality, will decline with age. As a result, the metabolic function will deteriorate, and the "yang" state with heat energy will gradually shift to the cold "yin" state. Therefore, special attention should be paid in winter to consume more foods that can warm the body, such as ginger, garlic, and onions. In addition, foods with sticky ingredients such as okra can nourish the kidneys, so you may as well eat more of them. Seaweeds related to the ocean, such as kelp, kelp, nori, and hijiki, as well as shrimp and shellfish are also recommended. As for when you can't control your craving for sweets, you can eat them with acidic foods such as black vinegar, as they have an inhibitory effect.

What to do in daily life: Pay more attention to the movement of the lower body than the upper body. If you have muscles, both your heat production ability and basal metabolism will improve. Therefore, it is recommended not only to do stretching exercises, but also to do some appropriate but heavy exercises to strengthen your muscles. Using exercises to strengthen the abdominal muscles to train the deep muscles (inner muscles) is also very helpful for internal organs that sag due to age.

Acupressure: The problem can be solved by controlling appetite and exercising. The solution is to press the "Guan Yuan" acupoint, which is effective for lower body coldness, and the "Shen Shu" acupoint, which can enhance kidney function. Since this type of person will become fatter and fatter, it is necessary to replenish the gradually depleted "kidneys" through eating and exercising, while at the same time, avoid wasting the existing "kidneys" unnecessarily.

"Guanyuan" acupoint and "Shenshu" acupoint: The "Guanyuan" acupoint is located four fingers below the navel. The "Shenshu" acupoint is located directly behind the navel, two fingers away from the left and right.
