Eliminate abdominal fat! Wu Mingzhu recommends: Hawthorn and Tangerine Peel Fat-Reducing Tea

Office workers are under great pressure from work and sit for long periods of time, which often causes them to suffer from abdominal obesity. Chinese medicine practitioners point out that if you want to get rid of waist and abdominal obesity, you should start with "tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen, resolving phlegm and dampness, and digesting food and relieving stagnation." They suggest preparing Chinese medicines such as hawthorn and tangerine peel to eliminate fat and relieve greasiness, and combine it with tapping the abdominal meridians to unblock stagnant qi and blood and effectively eliminate belly fat.

Female Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu pointed out that obesity is the root of all diseases. According to the recommendations of the National Health Administration, the reasonable waist circumference range for adult men and women is ≧90 cm for men and ≧80 cm for women. Exceeding this range will not only cause "moderate to moderate obesity", but also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

Women with endocrine disorders are prone to obesity

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, obesity is a problem with the spleen (similar to the gastrointestinal system in Western medicine). If the spleen system malfunctions, fat and water cannot be metabolized. This is the same as what modern medicine says. Therefore, by regulating your personal physique, restoring the unbalanced physiological functions and normalizing your metabolism, excess fat and water will naturally not accumulate in the abdomen.

Clinically, it has been found that women with endocrine disorders tend to have obesity concentrated in the waist, abdomen and lower body. Therefore, 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. At the same time, it can be combined with meridian massage to enhance metabolism, prevent fat accumulation, and reduce water retention.

To improve abdominal obesity, in addition to massaging the abdomen more often, hawthorn and tangerine peel fat-reducing tea is also an option.

Beware of stress-induced obesity if you have liver qi stagnation

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu emphasized that to improve abdominal obesity, the problem of stress must be overcome first, because stress can cause blockage of the body's qi and lead to "liver qi stagnation". Once the liver's qi-discharging function is abnormal, it will affect the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, if you often rely on eating to relieve stress, especially when you are fond of spicy, fried, grilled and other heavy-tasting foods, your stomach fire will become strong.

The saying "a hot stomach will lead to the digestion of food" means that the greater the stomach fire, the easier it is to be hungry, the more you eat, and you cannot control your appetite, which leads to overeating. Over time, this will cause obesity due to liver and stomach heat. People with this kind of physique will easily accumulate fat in the waist and abdomen, and the vicious cycle will easily lead to a medium-sized and wide body shape.
