Losing weight and getting fatter and thinner? It's the seasonal changes that affect

In summer, we wear cooler clothes or cover ourselves with sun protection to avoid the heat. In winter, we know we need to eat more tonic food and wear warm clothes to keep out the cold. So when it comes to weight loss, shouldn’t we also change accordingly? The climate changes in the 24 solar terms of spring, summer, autumn and winter have different impacts on the human body, and of course they also deeply affect the internal organs and qi and blood functions in the body.

Each season has its own climatic characteristics, and the human body will have different physiological reactions with the change of seasons. If the diet or daily routine is not adjusted according to the changes in climate, it is easy for the body to have sub-health conditions such as lack of energy or excessive anger, which will lead to disease over time. In other words, when the body's qi and blood functions are balanced and the physiological state is normal, it is not easy for toxins to accumulate or excess calories to accumulate in the body.

Taiwan has an island climate, and the air is naturally very humid. It is not difficult to imagine that if it rains for a long time, water droplets will gradually appear on the walls of the house, and after a long time, wall cancer or mushrooms will grow. The same principle will manifest in the human body by causing low metabolism, heavy body, edema, and fat accumulation.

As the saying goes, "Eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer, and you won't need a doctor to prescribe medicine." In seasons with heavy humidity, if you know how to eat some ginger or drink ginger tea appropriately, and use the warming and diuretic properties of ginger to remove excess moisture from the body, you can improve your physical condition and double your weight loss effect.

However, there were some people who, regardless of the season, would desperately drink ginger tea to reduce swelling and promote diuresis as soon as they had edema. After a period of time, they ended up suffering from sore mouth, irritability, increased appetite and other symptoms.

Why is this happening? It turns out that ginger is good at reducing edema and weight in the summer, but in the fall, especially when the weather turns dry after the autumnal equinox, eating too much ginger will cause the body's metabolism to be too fast. If it is not balanced with moisturizing honey, it will turn into heat and cause toxins to accumulate in the body.

Follow the seasons to lose weight, the right timing and method will double the effect

Follow the natural changes of spring breeze, summer heat, autumn dryness and winter cold, soothe the liver in spring, strengthen the heart in summer, moisten the lungs in autumn, nourish the kidneys in winter, and prepare for weight loss according to the characteristics of your physical constitution to achieve the best improvement and results. The purpose and methods of weight loss are different in each season, but there are some basic principles.

The climate change in spring is characterized by wind, and it is the season when all things grow. The weather turns from cold to warm, grass and trees sprout, and all things come back to life. At this time, the Qi of the liver and gallbladder meridians in the body is the most vigorous and active, which is most suitable for improving the body's metabolic capacity and is the best time to expel toxins accumulated in the body in the previous year.

In addition to the hot climate, the climate change in summer is characterized by humidity. The Qi and blood in the body are easily disturbed due to the intense heat, and humidity is easily accumulated in the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the focus of this season is to transport excess humidity out of the body. In addition, in summer, we should take care of our heart. Any methods and diet related to nourishing the heart can help improve the body's metabolism.

In autumn, the temperature gradually drops and the air pressure gradually rises. The human body sweats less, and the blood flow to the body surface is not as strong as in summer. It is also the stage when the human body's essence is in the process of being restrained and nourished. During this stage, the weather gradually becomes drier and the appetite is better. You must focus on nourishing the lungs and moistening dryness to make the body energetic, not irritable or depressed, and maintain metabolic power.

It is cold in winter and the human body's metabolic capacity will decrease. In order to fight the cold, the body will instinctively convert the calories eaten into fat and store it. Cold is the root of all diseases. If you want to lose weight in winter, you must pay special attention to keeping your body warm. This season is a great time to nourish the kidneys, improve your physical condition and preserve your body's essence, energy and spirit.
