Or should I just be patient and continue to lose weight? Actually, you can do better! Chinese medicine practitioners recommend that people who suffer from iron deficiency anemia due to improper weight loss can moderately consume "Angelica and Polygonum multiflorum stewed chicken soup" which has a blood-tonifying effect. By regulating the body's qi and blood, they will not only feel refreshed, but also help lose weight.

Too much weight loss! Improper weight loss can easily cause anemia and menstrual disorders

A 32-year-old woman, 161 cm tall, ate only a small amount of vegetables and chicken breast every day to make herself slimmer. She avoided starchy foods such as rice and noodles, and did strenuous exercise. As a result, she successfully lost weight and weighed only 42 kg. Her BMI was about 16.2 (the normal value is 18.5 to 24). When she walked into the Chinese medicine clinic, she looked pale, tired, and had habitual insomnia. Examination also revealed that she had menstrual disorders. Chinese medicine practitioner Lai Ruixin said that this is a typical case of using drastic measures to lose weight, which resulted in iron deficiency anemia!

Improper weight loss can not only easily cause anemia, but also disrupt the menstrual cycle and affect health.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Lai Ruixin said that many women adopt extreme weight loss methods such as eating only a lot of green vegetables or a single diet, and deliberately avoid eating red meat rich in iron, such as pork and beef. In the case of nutritional imbalance, the body's metabolic function is affected, and not only is iron deficiency anemia prone to occur, but it can also cause secretion disorders in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. When the brain no longer secretes gonadal stimulating hormone, the pituitary gland cannot secrete follicle stimulating hormone without this raw material, which will then trigger a chain reaction of ovarian shutdown, estrogen and progesterone deficiency, uterine shutdown, scanty menstrual blood or amenorrhea.
