A small recipe to prevent obesity caused by autumn dryness: drink oolong tea + medicinal bath

The appetite is particularly good in autumn, because it is the "autumn of appetite" when weight is easily out of control.

For people who are troubled by obesity, in addition to diet control and Chinese medicine and diet, they must of course also exercise consistently. The best exercise is climbing stairs, which has a positive effect on weight loss.
