Summer slimming tips Wu Mingzhu recommends: Honey Cassia Tea

In the hot summer, losing weight seems to be an impossible task. Chinese medicine practitioners point out that the key to losing weight in summer is to expel heat and moisture from the body. The diet should be kept light, avoiding heavy flavors and barbecue. Medicinal teas such as cassia seed and honey can be consumed to adjust the body's metabolic function, eliminate edema and excess fat, and spend a relaxing summer.

Female Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu pointed out that there is no secret recipe for weight loss in Chinese medicine. The key is to find the most suitable method for different body types. It must be "gradual and persistent" to be effective. Especially in the hot and humid summer, if people with a hot constitution cannot adapt to the environment and particularly like to eat ice cream, their waist circumference will become fatter and the amount of visceral fat will easily increase.

Heat constitution, weight loss and edema reduction

Basically, if people with a hot constitution only know to eat small meals frequently but do not know how to choose the correct way to eat, they will become constipated due to lack of fat-burning power or nutrition, causing toxins to accumulate and become fat, and are often accompanied by problems such as high body fat or high blood lipids. These symptoms can be improved by drinking Chinese herbal tea.

For example, people who are prone to edema can drink tea made from Alisma orientalis, which has the effect of metabolizing water and lowering blood sugar. In addition, people with obesity caused by constipation can drink tea made from Cassia seed, or drink honey water, as Cassia seed has the effect of softening stools and honey also has the effect of moisturizing the intestines.

In the hot summer, if you want to lose weight, choosing medicinal tea is healthy and burden-free.

Weight loss diet is light and less spicy

Regarding summer weight loss diet, Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu emphasizes that it is advisable to eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, aid digestion and drainage, such as lentils, coix seed, winter melon, water spinach, amaranth, celery, and bitter melon; as well as foods that clear away heat, detoxify and reduce internal heat, such as mung beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, lotus roots, etc.

In addition, you should give up heavy-flavored seasonings and eat less spicy, oily or cold foods to avoid damaging your stomach and intestines and reducing your digestive metabolism. At the same time, you must know how to control your diet. Not only should you keep your meals light, but you must also eat them in fixed quantities and on time. As for beverages, replace various sugary drinks with boiled water or green tea, and replace fruit juice with fresh fruits, but not in excess.

Slimming tea for a stress-free weight loss

The TCM syndrome differentiation of obesity can generally be divided into two categories: "deficient" and "excessive", commonly known as "false obesity" and "excessive obesity". The function of medicinal diet tea is to inhibit gastrointestinal motility, making people not want to eat, or to excrete food quickly after eating, so as to achieve the goal of slimming and weight loss.
