Cold obesity is prone to infertility. Two cups of tea can help you regain vitality.

Seeing her daughter tucking into ice cream or cold drinks, a thoughtful mother will inevitably remind her daughter, "Eat less to avoid disrupting your menstrual period" or "It's high in calories, you'll get fat if you eat too much." In fact, these reminders are not just personal experience sharing. Chinese medicine practitioners say that frequent intake of cold or cold foods can easily lead to a weak and cold constitution, leading to obesity and infertility. They recommend drinking teas that warm the meridians, regulate qi, and eliminate dampness in summer to regulate uterine function, avoid excess fat and water accumulation, and increase the success rate of conception.

Obesity is the main factor causing infertility, especially in women with cold and damp constitution.

Problems with cold diets: People with cold constitutions are prone to obesity and infertility

Zhou Zonghan, attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Ren'ai Branch of Taipei Municipal United Hospital, said that one of the manifestations of a weak and cold constitution is a cold uterus. People with a cold uterus have poor metabolic function and poor blood circulation due to the cold and damp environment of their internal organs. The affected parts of the body, such as the lower limbs, experience edema, and are accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, dysmenorrhea, difficulty ovulating, and even infertility.

In addition, a cold uterus and insufficient heat will also trigger the body's own protection mechanism, causing fat to take on the important task of "guarding the uterus". The colder the uterus, the more fat is stored, which in turn causes pear-shaped obesity in the lower body.

Have more good "pregnancy"! Weight loss +2 tea

Being overweight increases the chance of infertility. If you want to have a healthy baby, it is necessary to lose weight moderately. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, if obese people lose about 5% to 10% of their body weight, their ovulation rate and chance of pregnancy can be significantly increased.

Women who often suffer from menstrual pain or lower body obesity can drink tea that warms the meridians and eliminates dampness in moderation to help lose weight and improve fertility.

Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Zonghan said that obesity is the main factor causing infertility, especially in women with cold and damp constitutions. If they can develop a diet that avoids cold foods, exercise regularly, and use Chinese herbal medicine to regulate their constitution, it will help strengthen the spleen and kidneys, eliminate dampness and phlegm, and help increase the pregnancy rate. In addition, women who often suffer from menstrual pain or lower body obesity can also drink the following teas in the summer according to their symptoms to promote blood circulation in the uterus and reduce the risk of obesity and gynecological diseases.
