Are you apple-shaped or pear-shaped? Chinese medicine practitioners teach you how to easily "pat" away stubborn fat

Are you an "apple-shaped" body with fat in the waist and abdomen, or a "pear-shaped" body with fat in the lower body? If you want to get rid of these body problems, traditional Chinese medicine has a solution. Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that whether it is "apple-shaped" waist and abdominal obesity, or "pear-shaped" lower body obesity, it may be related to endocrine disorders. She recommends that beauty-loving women who desire a slim figure can gently tap the "belt meridian" at the waist and abdomen, as well as the spleen and gallbladder meridians in the legs every morning and evening. This helps to circulate qi and blood, regulate endocrine, eliminate fat and drain water, and achieve the effect of slimming and body shaping.

Endocrine and menstrual disorders cause women to become fat due to weak Qi and blood

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that endocrine disorders can affect the secretion of female hormones, causing abnormal ovulation and irregular menstruation, delaying normal "menstruation" to "quarterly menstruation" or even "semi-annual menstruation", leading to slower water and energy metabolism, fat accumulation, changes in body shape, and the phenomenon of easy weight gain and difficult weight loss.

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, most women with endocrine disorders and delayed menstruation have weak Qi and blood and weak kidney Qi. Due to abnormal Qi and blood circulation and metabolism, they are particularly prone to symptoms such as obesity, acne, and masculinization.

Endocrine disorders can affect the secretion of female hormones, causing irregular ovulation and menstruation, and delaying normal "menstruation" to "quarterly" or even "semi-annual menstruation".

However, thin people may also suffer from endocrine disorders. If a woman has deficient qi and blood, weak kidney qi, and a weak spleen and stomach, the body cannot fully absorb and utilize the nutrients in food, and may easily suffer from malnutrition-like conditions. The body will appear thin and flat, and the breasts will seem underdeveloped.

Endocrine disorders often lead to apple-shaped and pear-shaped obesity

Clinically, it is found that women with endocrine disorders have a higher obesity rate than thin people with poor nutrient absorption, and the obesity is mostly concentrated in the waist, abdomen and lower body. Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that the fundamental way to improve women's obese body shape is still to "regulate menstruation". Through endocrine regulation, the circulation of qi and blood can be promoted. It can also be combined with meridian massage to enhance metabolism, prevent fat accumulation, reduce water retention, and create a slim and fit body shape.

1. If you have an apple-shaped waist and abdomen, tapping the belt meridian can help you lose weight.

Regarding the "apple-shaped" figure with fat hypertrophy in the waist and abdomen, Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that first of all, it is necessary to rule out organic gynecological diseases, such as chocolate cysts, uterine fibroids, uterine adenomyoma, endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome, and provide symptomatic treatment. For apple-shaped obesity caused by endocrine and menstrual disorders, gently tapping along the "belt meridian" commonly known as the "swimming ring" can improve endocrine and metabolic functions, while also improving the symptoms of dull skin on the waist.

【Belt Meridian Body Sculpting Technique】:

With the navel as the center, use both hands to gently pat in circles along the waist from front to back. When you reach the "Baliao Point" behind the waist and abdomen, apply a little force. In addition to adjusting the endocrine system, it also helps to improve problems with the urinary and reproductive system and relieve discomfort such as coccyx pain. In addition, before tapping the belt meridian, you can also apply hot compresses to four acupoints, including Qihai, Guanyuan, Mingmen, and Shenshu, to enhance the circulation of qi and blood.

2. For pear-shaped lower body obesity, tap the spleen and gallbladder meridians in the legs to reduce fat and water retention.

Women with pear-shaped bodies, in addition to menstrual disorders, suffer from severe phlegm and blood stasis, often sit for long periods of time, are under great mental stress, and have poor sleep quality. They are also prone to obesity and edema in the buttocks and thighs due to slow venous blood return in the lower body, which makes it difficult to metabolize waste, water and fat. At this time, you can frequently pat the spleen meridian and gallbladder meridian on the inside and outside of the legs to promote qi and blood circulation and help metabolism.

【Liver and Gallbladder Meridian Body Sculpting】:

After getting up in the morning and exercising, and after taking a hot bath in the evening, first tap the spleen meridian along the inner side of the leg from bottom to top. When you encounter the Sanyinjiao point, Yinlingquan point and Xuehai point, you can apply a little force; then tap the gallbladder meridian along the outer side of the leg from bottom to top, and strengthen the Fengshi point on the leg.
