Feeling weak all over and having difficulty losing weight? I am afraid that low thyroid is the problem!

I didn’t eat much, but my weight kept rising? Be careful! It may be caused by low thyroid! A 26-year-old woman recently felt tired all over, yawned constantly, and could not get enough sleep. No matter how much she exercised or dieted, her weight not only did not go down, but she felt more tired, and her weight soared. It was not until I went to the doctor for a checkup that I discovered that it was caused by hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism, poor metabolism, Qi deficiency type obesity is easy to occur

Zhou Zonghan, attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Ren'ai Branch of Taipei Municipal United Hospital, said that Chinese medicine believes that dysfunction of the human body's internal organs is not only prone to cause fatigue and weakness; when the body has low thyroid, the internal organs are not functioning properly, and the spirit is often chosen to absorb more nutrients. However, when it cannot be metabolized effectively, it is easy to cause the accumulation of qi and blood, causing the above-mentioned symptoms of qi deficiency type obesity.

There is a way to increase metabolism! Traditional Chinese medicine Sini Decoction and Zhenwu Decoction nourish qi and warm yang

Therefore, in terms of treatment, Chinese medicine mainly increases the body's metabolic rate by replenishing qi and warming yang. For example, Sini Decoction and Zhenwu Decoction, which are common ancient prescriptions that help warm yang, will help adjust thyroid function and stabilize thyroid secretion, thereby achieving the effect of regulating physical fitness and accelerating metabolism, making it possible to lose weight.

Remember these 6 lifestyle habits! Hypothyroidism

In addition to moderate relief through Chinese medicine prescriptions that replenish qi and warm yang, Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan also mentioned that in order to effectively improve a series of endocrine disorders caused by hypothyroidism, it is very important to develop a regular and good daily routine. It specifically mentions some important precautions for reference for friends who have hypothyroidism problems.

Habit 1: Good sleep quality

Adequate and good sleep is the best treatment for stabilizing the endocrine system.

Habit 2: Consume iodized salt

Modern people's diet is becoming more and more refined. While pursuing delicious taste, they often choose to use refined salt products such as rose salt, sea salt or rock salt in their dishes. However, Chinese medicine doctor Zhou Zonghan reminds that the above-mentioned refined salt products often lack the trace element "iodine" needed by the human body. If consumed in excess, the human body may suffer from long-term iodine deficiency, which may lead to hypothyroidism and cause edema and puffiness. It is recommended to use iodized salt as the main seasoning.

Habit 3: Avoid excessive intake of refined starchy foods

If you frequently consume highly processed starchy foods such as cakes, scallion pancakes, fried dough sticks, biscuits, etc. made from refined sugar, oil, granulated sugar, salt, corn flour and flour, it can easily interfere with thyroid function. It is recommended to reduce the intake ratio.

Habit 4: Avoid pickled foods

In addition to refined starches, other pickled foods, including canned meat, pickled fruits and pickles, should also be avoided as much as possible.

Habit 5: It is better to choose unflavored nuts

In addition, it is worth noting that commercially processed nuts including walnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, etc. are high-calorie foods rich in fat due to the addition of seasonings such as sugar and salt. If you don't control your intake, the fat you eat may quickly convert into glucose, which will not only cause a rapid spike in blood sugar and fat accumulation, but will also cause abnormal thyroid secretion. You must be careful! It is recommended that you choose unflavored nuts when eating them, and stick to the principle of not exceeding 20 to 30 grams per day.

Habit 6: Eat more roughage

Eating more fresh and natural foods or coarser starches such as sweet potatoes can help regulate the endocrine and immune systems.
