The annoying problems of stress-induced obesity and edema make your lower body fat. Why can’t you lose weight on your pair of chubby “elephant legs”?

There is a reason for lower body obesity! Kidney deficiency and stress lead to pear-shaped body

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Meifei said that the reasons for the bloated and obese lower body and the pear-shaped figure can be divided into two categories: first, damp heat in the spleen and stomach and kidney deficiency lead to a decrease in the body's metabolic rate, and a large amount of water accumulates and is retained in the body, causing a series of reactions. The second is endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation symptoms, or postpartum hormonal disorders caused by stress. The liver blood deficiency and kidney yin deficiency caused by these reasons will also lead to body fat accumulation and lower body obesity.

In order to get rid of the above problems, in addition to reducing the sources of stress, try to avoid eating pickles, smoked foods, pickled foods and other ingredients, as well as condiments with high sodium content such as soy sauce, ketchup, and shacha sauce. These are all ways to avoid swelling in the lower body.
