Poor skin condition during weight loss period, beauty porridge regulates endocrine

Are you still struggling with obesity? Don’t lose both your face and your money! Chinese medicine practitioners say that the skin is a mirror of the internal organs. If you lose weight improperly or lose too much weight, your endocrine system will be disrupted. Initially, the skin may become oily and acne-prone, or dry and develop fine lines. This may then lead to menstrual disorders and premature ovarian failure, forcing the weight control plan to be interrupted.

The skin is a mirror of the internal organs. If you lose weight improperly or lose too much weight, abnormal changes may occur in your skin and body condition.

A 39-year-old woman, 160 cm tall, took diet pills for a long time to suppress her appetite. Due to malnutrition, her body became as thin as 39 kg and her BMI was about 15.2, making her look like a "paper man". Not only did she have dry skin all over her body, mixed skin on her face, spots and fine lines, and more hair loss, she looked older than her actual age. Even her body functions were abnormal, with symptoms such as decreased immunity, osteoporosis, premature ovarian failure, delayed menstruation, decreased menstrual flow, and chocolate cysts caused by reflux of menstrual blood.

Losing weight quickly makes waste, malnutrition makes you lose face

Dr. Wu Mingzhu, a Chinese medicine practitioner who treated the patient, said that the healthiest principle for weight loss is to "reduce calories without reducing nutrition" and eat a balanced diet, losing about 0.5 to 1 kilogram per week to lose weight. However, modern people love to achieve fast results and often resort to drastic dieting or fasting, or a single type of diet to lose weight. This can lead to malnutrition in the long term, and the body cannot absorb enough nutrients, leading to endocrine disorders, which can cause skin quality to deteriorate.

Generally speaking, young and healthy women have sufficient hormone secretion, but improper weight loss can easily lead to a decrease in estrogen secretion, a relative increase in androgen, delayed menstruation, oily skin, acne, and abnormal hair loss. Some people may also develop polycystic ovary syndrome and increased hair growth.

For middle-aged women over 40, the ovarian and hormone secretion functions will degenerate with age. If they do not lose weight properly, it will accelerate the destruction of the hormonal foundation, resulting in a decrease in the secretion of both estrogen and androgen, premature aging of the skin, and becoming dry and fragile, prone to sensitivity, acne, and fine lines.

The healthiest dietary principle for weight loss is to "reduce calories without reducing nutrition". If your skin condition deteriorates, you can improve it by eating healthy porridge. The picture shows the porridge only.

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu said that if dry skin or abnormal oiliness is caused by improper weight loss, the weight loss process can be treated through dietary therapy such as moisturizing porridge and green and red two-color porridge to nourish the body, regulate endocrine function, and improve the side effects of skin condition changes.

It's not just a matter of face! Improper weight loss can easily lead to ovarian failure

However, if improper weight loss has affected menstrual changes, including irregular menstrual cycles and a significant increase or decrease in menstrual flow, you should see a doctor as soon as possible and seek appropriate treatment early to avoid symptoms of premature ovarian failure without knowing it. Premature ovarian failure can be recovered through treatment in the early stages, but delaying it too long will increase the difficulty of treatment, or even make it too late, and ovarian failure will eventually lead to infertility.
